The good days and bad days message is so important and she has expressed it well. People see cancer patients on a good day and assume they are completely well, fit for work etc. or they see them on a bad day and assume their illness is terminal. Hopefully Kate appearing on the balcony will satisfy curiosity and she will still have space to heal.

My post has been deleted , and I can see how people, mums net h.q. included got the wrong end of the stick. What I meant was that I am delighted that she feels well enough to be seen in public again. It's bad enough to be ill, but to have to be ill in the public eye must be awful, and I truly wish her well. But, as we have seen in the past, our Montecito friends have a habit of popping up to divert the news. The weekend papers will surely be full of our brave Kate and wishing her the best. But I'm also sure that there will be some news from California, in an attempt to divert attention. Sorry if I offended, that was not my intention.

you accuse H&M of “popping up to divert the news”, but YOU are the one who brought them up in a thread that had absolutely nothing to do with them, and where they hadn’t been mentioned at all! Completely bizarre and obsessive behaviour!

Loving the random capitals!😂
That's a great phrase, start a fight in an empty paper bag!

Random capitals - Daily Mail readers love those (judging by the amount of headlines that include them!)

Ah I wish this is how the palace had handled it in the first place. Would have saved all the speculation and the need for someone going through cancer treatment to record a video.

Just read people saying it's been photoshopped again.

As if. They’re hardly likely to try that again after the furore last time.

Beafyudders · 14/06/2024 23:55

I believe only a special breed of cunt would choose to cast aspersions on the picture rather than focus on her words.

Well yeah I just read not again! On twitter.
Something about the legs / trainers.
Is she really standing by a tree though?
I'm rubbish at tech stuff.

Wimbledon is official business for her anyway. She's patron of the All England Club and would normally be expected to be there.

I expect they've got a stand-in lined up for the presentations, if she doesn't feel up to it on the day.

Then she should use her influence to do something about this

What a gorgeous picture and heartfelt message, it will be lovely to see her at Trooping, glad she is feeling well enough to attend, great news! As for that vile man Bouzy he really is unhealthily obsessed with Catherine isn’t he, but I expect his card is well and truly markec now, William has had a meeting with the Secret Service this week, I’m sure his online hate campaign and bolstering of his squaddies are definitely being well and truly monitored.

I think it’s quite sad she has to pose for a picture in the middle of chemo. Best wishes to her

This was my thought too. No matter how well you feel, this must be a pain and will most likely have involved a full lot of pictures being taken to select this one. After what happened last time though she probably wanted to avoid any speculation. She really can’t win either way

neilyoungismyhero · 15/06/2024 00:03

A youngish relative is going through the same thing- it sounds like preventative treatment now - first chemo week you're wiped out completely, second week just beginning to feel human at the end of the week, third week you're pretty OK but dreading the next week starting chemo again. It's brutal, physically and mentally whether you're a teacher or the POW..my relative has been off work now for 15 months and only now thinking of returning. The new drugs they are giving her are taking a toll though.
It's a tough tough road especially with a young family even though she must have wonderful practical support.

The RF PR machine are reputably top class and it shows. After months of Meghan doing her Royal cosplaying, pissing off people in Nigeria, the cold cold message after the cancer announcement and supporting the groups who are harassing and threatening Catherine, to come out with such class gives amazing optics to both C and the RF.

I don’t normally like to pit women against each other but the behaviour of the Montecito twits lately just makes me smug knowing they are so easily outshone

This is brown nosing on a nauseating level.

Makes you smug? They don’t even know you’re alive.

whynotwhatknot · 15/06/2024 00:06

i hope shes not doing this to appease trolls beause they'll just make up more shIte about how its not her or some utter nonse

she ant win an i wish her well

I see Bouzy had stuck his boot in , stating that the photo released of Catherine has been photoshopped , he really is a nasty man.

Wow, that didn’t take long! He really is a nasty piece of shit. The people who claim him as a friend and ally really need to think about their moral compass.

DreamTheMoors · 15/06/2024 00:37

I truly hope Kate is feeling well enough and is not appearing out of any pressure from anyone.
If she appears the least bit unwell there are those who will run with it and have a field day criticizising her and at her expense.
There always are.
I also truly hope that Kate is under no pressure and that if she wakes tomorrow feeling unwell, she stays home and doesn’t allow anyone to browbeat her into attending.
I can’t imagine the pressure she’s already under on top of her treatment, on top of her illness, on top of her being a mother, on top of her “princessing” duties.
I hope people in her circle and around her are empathetic right up until the car ride to the event.

Username1010 · 15/06/2024 00:40

I am guessing this message was sent to let people know in advance that she will be doing a public outing (and by knowing in advance is hoping there won't be such a big thing made out of it thereby taking away from Charles's Day as he will not want that either?). Although another part of me wonders if Kate being there is, in part, to distract from wondering how Charles's treatment is going.

And perhaps also a tiny bit of hope that people won't scrutinise her appearance to every minute detail (which is exactly what will happen).

Its strategic no doubt but it strikes a nice balance between personal and professional.

My cousin, my closest person in the world, was across the country from me when she was (dying) suffering from cancer and we could only talk by phone.
I’d call her every other day and she sounded good — until she told me that California got things before North Carolina did when I told her about my aquarium.
It was then that I realized how very ill she truly was and how the morphine had affected her.

I think its going to be a huge event & her attendance will absolutely over shadow every aspect of the day. BUT I don't think Charles will mind. He clearly adores Catherine & I think he'll be delighted to share his day with her if it means she's well enough to attend.

I dont envy her. I don't think she'll have been under scrutiny like this since her wedding

Lillieloola · 15/06/2024 01:27

Catherine is a lady with balls. I hope she will be ok . Hope the media actually look after her and are respectful.

Ohpleeeease · 15/06/2024 03:01

She’s going to get the most fantastic reception when she appears on the balcony.

Slimmed down monarchy notwithstanding, I’d love to see the extended family on show tomorrow, a proper show of solidarity.

ShamedBySiri · 15/06/2024 05:08

I guess it's good to get it out of the way. It sounds as if she has been doing everyday activities like the school run when she is able. Getting this milestone of a first public appearance and understanding of her desire to get back to normal life opens the way for her to be seen publicly from time to time whilst still not being back to her previous schedule. It must be quite annoying to feel the need to stay hidden away when she is feeling well. Maybe she would like to join William for some social activities eg last weeks' big wedding but felt she couldn't because her public appearance would have been the big story not the wedding. Going forward hopefully there will be acceptance that she may be out and about sometimes but not all the time.

It absolutely does matter, because THAT Mother's Day photo was released to photo agencies as well as through their SM, it allowed the PA's to pull that ridiculous stunt.

If the Wales' are now only releasing images through their SM that means they're standing up to the news agencies and reclaiming their independence. Edit: as well as reducing the influence of the news & photo agencies.

Edited

This. Or…..THIS!!!!! 😂

Exactly 👏🏼

It matters how our future King and Queen are choosing to communicate with us.

Both sides of this toxic debate can't help themselves. Thankfully most people are happy with good news from wherever it comes from and I'm sure she will break the internet with her radiant presence.
