A bit of compassion for a King with cancer wouldn’t go amiss.

[Ratherhaveacupofteaandabiscuit]

Yes, of course he is head of state but he is also a human being with cancer.

In the past few weeks alone he has faced the shock return of a treacherous son and an exploitative daughter in law set on destabilising the monarchy which is the King’s life works, and destroying any peace within the family.
When trying to deal with the situation he is damned if he says something to try to control them and damned if he doesn’t.

Now he has a vengeful ex brother in law accusing him (with zero evidence) of disgraceful comments and conduct at the time of the highly traumatic death of his late wife and also repeating scurrilous slander made by said ex wife (who was well known for her own vengeful nature) implying he is a closeted bisexual.

I am not of the #bekind brigade but as someone who has cancer myself I really would ask that a glimmer of humanity is shown to him.

Stress really does impact cancer. I would not be at all surprised if these dreadful goings on damage the Kings health very seriously.

I wonder if H&M or CS consider this at all or if they will feel any guilt should the King become more unwell?

Not something I could live had I treated a family member so badly.

Catherine Middleton is pretty young!

I couldn't care less about any of that funny farm but I do find it odd to hear people still say Catherine Middleton. She married a long time ago.
No biggie but its pretty common but a bit strange. I'm not sure where you stand with regards to us excusing terrible behaviour because we should apparently show compassion.

Anyway I couldn't give less of a s**t about them. They engage in blood sports so clearly they are okay with causing death. Their lives aren't anymore important than anyone else's. People die of illnesses every day and don't get the best medical care money can buy. Some don't get any help at all.

I pretty much agree with everything you said actually.
Not sure why I used Middleton....just tired and wasn't thinking...
I think everyone who has cancer deserves compassion....and, yes, especially those who are not wealthy. That must be doubly hideous 😔
I only mentioned Catherine being young as the previous poster said it's rare for young people to get cancer

It just struck me scrolling through this thread this morning that when most posters say “he” I can’t immediately tell which “he” they mean-KC, CS or HC. Largely the same language used for all three. Pick your villain!
