Kate weight loss

[Fraudornot]

Her recent appearance at Anna Freud Centre in the check dress she looks so thin - sorry can’t link as on phone.

She looks tired and has a frailty I think about her and I hope that’s she’s ok, but she still looks amazing.

Kate has always been very slim but having had cancer myself and lost weight that I couldn’t afford to, I know how hard it is to put it back on and your body composition almost changes.

This seems to be a gossipy, bitchy thread gloating about someone appearing unwell after they had a cancer diagnosis.
So disappointing to see this on MN.

The Palace and Media shouldn't be pushing the middle aged disney princess image as something aspirational for all the plebs.

The patriarchy being propped up by drained and damaged women. What's new?

That’s really not true though. She only became thin when she started getting attention from the press as William’s girlfriend. Look at photos before that. She was a normal size.

Reddit Royaltea ?? That is a Princess Catherine hate site run by Meghan Markle fans and mainly populated by bots, usuallly making up total crap, particularly when their idol gets exposed and bad press (like the past few weeks)

Catherine had cancer and 9 months of chemo, alongside major abdominal surgery, yet she has always been positive about those cruel health issues and treatments, no one comes out of a cancer diagnosis plus chemo unscathed. I’m sure her body shape is the last thing she has to worry about.

This is an horrific thread. There’s some real nasty people on here.

The Princess of Wales is as entitled to privacy regarding her health as any other person in the country.

What we know is that she had a condition significant enough that she required surgery that was expected to need 2 weeks of hospital recovery - before the discovery of cancer.
She has since has treatment for cancer.

It's not surprising that she should not yet have regained weight, given the requirements of healing from surgery and other treatments.

agreed

You sound nice not

She does look extremely slender but she’s always been very slim and is very sporty, I hope she’s ok.

I agree she is far too thin to be healthy.

I thought the palace peddled out she was given preventative chemo and she didn’t have cancer but we will never know the full truth.

Either way she seems to be enjoying life having been on 2 ski trips in 2025 and very few actual royal engagements - what a life.

@Starship74 how are people still not understanding what preventative/adjunct cancer treatment means?

I had a serious illness back in 2021, not cancer though. I lost about 15kg and the biggest feature of that swift weight loss was on my face. I looked like (pardon the comparison) a famine victim with awful sunken cheeks and hollow eyes. A total fright for everyone who knew me before!

I'm OK again now nearly 5 years later, but my face just hasn't recovered and I've aged terribly. But I'm alive!

I suppose in a roundabout way what I'm trying to say is that Kate's face looks absolutely amazing for someone who went through such a tough illness. If you just saw her from the collarbone up you would never know how ill she'd been. I showed every inch of being ill for a number of years. That fascinates me, that she looks so glowing and full of health now. I wish I knew her secret TBH!

As someone who has recently completed hospital treatment for cancer - the PoW statement said 'cancer was found'.
Treatment after that usually includes surgery (to remove the cancer). If the cancer is successfully removed and is of a type that is responsive to chemotherapy, that is known as preventive chemotherapy (the intent is to prevent any residual cancer cells from multiplying, preventing the cancer from returning).

Yes, it sounds absolutely the same as many other patients have had. You have a surgery, what comes out is tested for cancer cells, and then you get told. Then there’s often more surgery and adjunct treatments eg chemo.

I don’t understand why some posters pretend not to understand how straightforward this is. It’s not a complicated narrative, and it’s not unusual.

I think that most people would describe the PoW as maternal, with personal and professional interest in the wellbeing of infants/children and young people. However, they still peddle conspiracy theories about her cancer (as seen in deletions in this thread) which would suggest that the PoW lied to her children about cancer. It is as sickening as the Where's Kates threads, the zombie ambulance that never was, the coma and other horrendous allegations

They seem a bit unnecessarily hot and bothered, I agree.

I’m a republican at heart but I’m realistic about the situation and frankly hope that W&C do well in the job of Head of State and consort. We live in ‘interesting’ times.

She went into hospital originally for abdominal surgery before they even found cancer, so I would imagine she has some kind of underlying digestive condition that makes it difficult for her to maintain weight.

For a woman of her height, she's considerably underweight, and pretending anything otherwise is ridiculous. She started losing weight rapidly after having her children - she was never as thin as she is now when she was in her 20s and early 30s. Looking at pictures of her from 2015, she looks completely transformed - she was always slender, yes, but healthily so - a size 8/10, with a face that was much more filled out. She now looks emaciated and frail, and she has aged dramatically in her face because of the weight loss. It's obvious she has been, and perhaps still is, very unwell.

It's not easy being a public figure at the best of times, so I imagine having to be out and about while battling serious health issues is very challenging, both physically and mentally. I hope that she doesn't feel pressured to be doing more than she should be, and that she recovers her health fully before too long.

It certainly can't be easy being a public figure especially when faux concern is expressed whilst also commenting how she has 'aged dramatically'.

Most women in the public eye are very slender - I mean look at how awful the media have been and continue to be to any woman who isn't - Duchess of pork anyone?

Horrible thread. I hate this ripping royal women apart for fun.
she is a woman who has been very unwell.

It's not 'faux concern'.

I do feel sorry for her. I wouldn't want to be her. She has been through a shit time and she's had to do it all in the public eye.

At the same time, factually and objectively, she has aged dramatically in her face in the last few years, and part of that is because she has lost so much weight due to ill health. It's unfortunate but it is true.

Pretending anything otherwise would be flying in the face of reality.

Everyone loses volume in their face as they age, you can’t compare a 20 year old to a 40yo, that is why there is a booming business in fillers.

she is a woman who has been very unwell.

Quite. I think she looks beautiful, dignified and kind. Unlike some.

This is pretty nasty. There is no evidence whatsoever that she wears a ‘wiglet’, whatever that is. Even if she did, so what.

She’s the most scrutinised woman in the world, and look at the sort of things people say. ‘She looks 60’? What rot.

She looks fabulous. Healthy and fit. Thin doesn’t equate to frail or ill.

I think what's not kind is pretending that Catherine's figure is something normal, healthy, and aspirational for a middle aged woman.

Being considerably underweight is not healthy. It is not a condition we should be encouraging women to emulate.

We should also not celebrate or admire a woman simply for being thin.

The sycophancy and delusion on this thread is disturbing.
