King Charles support of his daughter(in law) is so very touching.

Please keep the comments positive and on topic. We have all had enough vitriol for weeks now.

I do hope with the chemotherapy she keeps her hair. That was the most devastating thing for me, losing eyebrows, lashes and hair was the worst bit. I wish her well.

they showed one of the photos of Kate taking the children to school the other day. her hair is so nice.

Where was it shown? I'd like to read the article/see the pics if you have a link. Thanks.

Samcro · 26/03/2024 18:17

It was just one used on the news the other day

AliceOlive · 26/03/2024 18:19

Random choice.

I also lost all of my hair to chemo. Absolutely the least of my situation

Me too. But my god it has grown back thick, strong and very curly. I love it😁

pilates · 26/03/2024 19:26

Yes that happened to someone I know Dearg. It wasn’t curly before chemo.

I don't actively wish her ill but find it hard to feel sympathy for Kate. In a country with a crumbling NHS system, she'll have access to the very best treatment, for a condition that is very common in women her age.

A family member passed away very recently from cancer. While I'm grateful for the healthcare system, it's hard not to link her pain, suffering and death to the endless gaps, incompetencies and delays in treatment.

While we're on the topic of venerating Kate, my family member – like many others – genuinely did more with her life and sacrificed more for others than Kate ever has. (Of course though I believe everyone has an equal right to good health!)

I know it's not a race to the bottom, but the very existence of a monarchy, the class system, the Tories, etc lends to the idea that some deserve better than others. Some get to live and some don't, etc.

That's really nice to know.

shenandoahvalley · 26/03/2024 19:45

The 2019 photo + hair comment is obviously a reference to chemo + the one physical attribute most admired in Kate 🙄(other than her slim figure, but that would be beyond the pale for MN).

Just well-enough phrased for plausible deniability.

RedRosesPinkLilies · 26/03/2024 20:03

@Dearg mine was wavy before, and it has just started growing back (short pixie cut), but I think it is stronger/ thicker than before. Not as fine as it was before. That’s one plus, I guess!

There is absolutely a lot of mean girl nasty hypocritical behaviour. Together with ingénue posts trying to elicit a bunfight.

Together with nc-ing (or being brand new) to post snidey wee digs, it can escalate.

I see it too. A lot.

Totally unnecessary.

But once seen, it can’t be unseen.

This is also an old picture but her hair is so fabulous I just have to post it!

I remember that dress, it was stunning

@shenandoahvalley . I missed that. Speechless.

There were some nice quotes from a story in The Times yesterday floating around, of how Charles could be seen toddling around the hospital on his way to visit Catherine when they were both in for treatment. It’s behind a paywall unfortunately. I find their relationship really touching. You can tell from pictures of the two of them that they are completely at ease with one another. I wonder if Catherine has been the one to help build the bridge between Charles and William? From all accounts I have read, William was his mother’s son and it was Charles and Harry who had the closer relationship. I’m sure her own lovely and close knit family has given her the tools help William with his own family dynamics.
