King Charles so proud of Princess Catherine

[AliceOlive]

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.

@RockyandBullwinkle - you're right about the outlandish conspiracy theories. On these threads there has been some very cruel speculation, clearly spread across social media. She deserves privacy as we all do, but I'm glad that she decided to speak.

Are you kidding. They're all superstars.

My friend who had breast cancer is a superstar. My MIL who had breast cancer is a superstar.

My grandfather who had brain cancer was a superstar.

Odd that you have commented so many times already given you feel the thread is strange!

WTF? She can comment as much as she likes but do you not realise that strange or contrary things can be more compelling than more everyday or explicable things?

Welcome to you also. 🤣

I like observing the relationship between Charles and PoW - it seems such a good one. The other day when there was that picture of her in the car with William I must say I secretly hoped the 'private appointment' was a 'cheer up, my dear' tea with the King at Clarence House, while everyone else was at the Commonwealth service.

I do get that you see them as that
I just think that when you have cancer it isnt being superstar- it is just getting on- part of life.

I am enjoying your post, especially the sentence which begins with ' I don't know her from an egg...' Thank you for it.

Is it fair to say that she is vulnerable but was also very strong when she made the statement?

Most people are not married to the future king of England.

As a human being I thought it was lovely for her FIL to say this and shows they have a really nice bond. As someone who has cancer right now, whose chemo didn’t work, was too late for surgery and whose only hope now is hopefully stopping it from spreading any further I thought it was lovely for her FIL to say this and shows they have a really nice bond.

It’s not easy to live with cancer and I know my whole family is proud of me for keeping on fighting and not giving up. I’m proud of anyone with any illness who keeps fighting and doesn’t give up.

Which makes much more sense than the original quote

telling relative strangers (work ) was the hardest part . telling family was easy

My DH had a colleague that he hardly knew in floods of tears that he then had to manage when he told them that he had cancer for the 2nd time. And when his treatment ended I overheard the TEAMS call and she was distraught for him (I guess I don't know her backstory)

One of the hardest parts is managing the people and their needs when you have cancer (including people you hardly know who want to visit all the time-especially in hospital where visitors are limited!)

Well she is to her family, and obviously that includes her father-in-law.

I thought it was lovely Charles said that. In the same way I thought it was lovely he walked Meghan down the aisle.

My thoughts are very much with anyone going through cancer but selfishly I particularly identify with a mother who has young children.

What original quote?

Someone made up a ridiculous meaning.

No such person as the King of England.

@ArcaneWireless is the King of England but is also not married to most people.

This is my take too.

Oh yeah, sure, why did they even mention it.

The original quote from the 1st post which you made- which said

King Charles is so proud of beloved Kate after cancer news

That’s a link to a bbc article. It’s not a quote, it’s what they wrote. It didn’t say “for cancer news” but after.

Oh gosh, that was you.

You are quoting yourself?

I have spent the last 16 years living with cancer in different ways
DF- 3 types which finally went to a terminal diagnosis for one- multiple surgeries , chemo, radio, remote chemo more surgery etc
Me
DH- twice including 1 very rare (less than 10 in Uk each year ) Multiple surges, chemo, radio, radioacrive iodine
Me again possibly (How lucky am I)

I have spent weeks of my life spent in hospitals talking to other sufferers and their relatives. It is both sad, shocking and uplifting.

I have seen death (literally seen 2 strangers with cancer die in front of me) and joy.. Overwhelmingly people with cancer just buckle down and get on with it.

Cancer is part of life for so many people- it is a 50% chance in the UK at the moment and will increase further possibly.

Of course we need to feel compassion for those with cancer. But lets not create saints or martyrs. For me (and others may have a different view) that makes is so much harder for those with cancer to get through each day.

Charles must appreciate her so much. The RF hit the jackpot when William married her.

I did too, and thought it was a lovely expression of support for Catherine.

You are preaching to the converted about cancer.

It looks very much like the King and Kate are buckling down and getting on with it too.

Just like everyone else.

The Prince and Princess have issued a statement this evening thanking everyone for their warm wishes since the video was shown yesterday and Kate 'enormously touched' by public support www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68646314 See here
