This. The faux naive ‘I don’t understand why anyone is interested…’ is laughable. She’s our future Queen and Princess of Wales - she’s taken on a very prominent constitutional role and I’m sure she’s well aware this naturally means the public will be interested, even if others can’t seem to wrap their head around it.
Yes there has been some very cruel speculation but I saw an equal number of posts by people either just mildly curious or quite concerned about her - all to be expected when somebody in such a position retreats from the spotlight for quite a long time with scant explanation.
I don’t think she was forced to do the video address, it was inevitable - she isn’t going to return as they said after Easter, she will likely be out of action for months if not a year, and that was always going to need clarifying.
I think a lot of the outrage is phoney, by people who love to ‘be on the right side’ and feel lime 5* better people than everyone else. Willing to bet most of them were also pretty curious as to what was going on.
Wish her all the best in her recovery but those of you foaming at the mouth about the speculation are either shockingly naive or very disingenuous.
