She has released a video to state that she has completed her cancer treatment.

I imagine if Meghan had done a similar video she would have been absolutely flamed for being overly sentimental, twee and smaltzy. As it’s Kate, she can do no wrong.

Exactly

What nonsense. Have a look at this thread (and the other one). She obviously can do wrong in some people's eyes, just for existing. She's getting an absolute hammering on here. Have you seen the number of deletions? Some vile comments.

Ohpleeeease · 10/09/2024 06:06

It’s a lovely uplifting video, a bit cheesy for my tastes but a good message to put out there. This is how I’m doing, this is what’s important to me, this is the future Royal Family, things are going to be ok but they’re going to look different in the future.

Although she talks about going back to work, I think it’s clear she’s managing expectations with this video and good for her. IMHO this nine months break has been a good thing in calming down the public demand for updates and I hope it continues.

Hideous that people feel the need to make nasty comments about someone recovering from or possibly living with cancer.

PoppysAunt · 10/09/2024 06:43

@Ohpleeeease - your last sentence, absolutely 100%.

I really don’t give a shiney shite about Kate, William, nor any of the RF. But the people on here without a most rudimentary grasp of grammar basics who don’t even know when it’s correct to use ‘me’ or ‘I’ are making me have a conniption.

I just learnt a new word today so 👍

OrangeBlossomsinthesun · 09/09/2024 22:29

Loads of people get it wrong. If you take out the other person you can tell which is correct to use.

So, "my sister and I went shopping" because you can't say "me went shopping". "it reminded me and my sister of our mother" because you can't say "it reminded I".

This is how I always know. It’s a good easy way to work out whether to use I or me.

I hardly think she can do no wrong, were you not aware of the horrible things aimed at her when she was sick? Just the vilification alone on the Mothers Day photo was ridiculous and cruel.

Meghan is an attention seeker, Catherine isn’t. Yes it was a little schmalzy but it’s not like she’s in our face everyday getting up to stupid pap walks in car parks and what have you.

This made you ragey? Blimey you must be like a pressure cooker constantly exploding!

Life too short to have a conniption about everything that makes you clutch your pearls.

StartupRepair · 10/09/2024 08:58

I think the video is a bit twee but also very heartfelt. It is unequivocally saying we love our children and each other and Kate's illness and treatment have been terrifying and continue to cast a shadow. Even with all the staging they are sharing something genuine.

Awright Megan 😂😂😂

GiveMeSpanakopita · 10/09/2024 09:25

It really is a lovely video and I'm not normally a sentimental sort.

Production was slick but the content was from the heart.

Like many others on this thread who've had experiences with cancer and other serious illness in the family, I felt every word, especially the parts about severe illness coming out of nowhere and the most important things in life being the people you love and being loved by them.

roastedrapidly · 10/09/2024 09:25

It's incredible how people can come on here and be mean after everything she's been through this year. Rather than just not comment at all.
People's capacity for unkindness is always pretty shocking, and a real reflection on them as people.

GiveMeSpanakopita · 10/09/2024 09:27

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 09/09/2024 20:59

And still some on here can’t resist having a dig. I’d hate to be a bitter misery.

Crazy how some people hate to see a happy family!

DillDanding · 10/09/2024 10:13

I really want Charles to do a promo film in a similar vein now. Brushing his sausage fingers past some long grass, pushing Camilla on a swing…it would be perfect and equally daft.

@DillDanding

😂

GreenTrees00 · 10/09/2024 10:27

the sepia tones, the heavy music, the romantic settings all seemed unnecessary, like a cinema version of cancer rather than the gritty painful reality. I don’t know, it didn’t sit right with me

Comedycook · 10/09/2024 10:42

For me I thought it came across very much like, I'm better but don't expect me to do too much going forward. Yes I can totally understand why that would be the case, but my thoughts did drift to all the ordinary people who have had cancer who would probably have to get straight back to work and not have the luxury of a really full recuperation period. And also, I don't think Kate has ever come across as particularly hard working at the best of times. But like I said, it's good news that she's better.

I hope that no-one wishes Meghan to be diagnosed with cancer, so she is never in a position to need to release such a video.

But just because everyone doesn’t have the luxury of time off doesn’t mean she shouldn’t, surely? There’s a lesson here for those who choose to hear it. Hopefully this will make us all think how we can better support those people in our lives who need time to recover from serious illness.

Oh but .. what about other cancer sufferers?

Pathetic, tbh 😂
I have no interest in being subservient or sycophantic to a bunch of privileged people who have zero idea about life in the real world.
I’m sure your pal, Kate, didn’t have to worry about loss of earnings or childcare whilst attending appointments/resting/recovering etc.
Y’know, like us ordinary people would?

I wish her the same for everyone going through cancer but I am certainly not bowing and scraping before her, like you.

Has The Office of The Duke and Duchess issued a statement about Catherine’s update ? Sorry, Kate !
