Kensington Palace confirms Catherine has cancer. More scandals with the royals means more anti-Meghan stories. |
A series of scandals at Kensington and Buckingham Palace starts another round of attacks toward Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. It only shows that the public position of the British royals is declining.
The British junk food media is talking about Princess Catherine announcing she has cancer. The Princess of Wales made the formal announcement on social media this week.
It came a week after the AP reported that the royals official portrait was photoshopped and it generated more speculations to why Catherine wasn't performing her royal duties.
Revelation of Kate’s cancer diagnosis makes everything we’ve heard from Kensington Palace in last few weeks since #KateGate truly weird. Like why would you throw a cancer patient under the bus to silence criticism over bad photoshop pics? This isn’t just bad PR it’s bad judgment. https://t.co/BJOysVwGhn

TMZ released a video of William and Kate, and now some TMZ employees say it's not legit. "Our picture department has been all over this; we don't buy it."

Wow...https://t.co/ZV2Wv0wh8e
So, let me see if I understand this correctly. Kate's video is one of the biggest stories of 2024, and not a single person who works at the farm/store has gone on the record about seeing William and Kate? So, just some random guy is the primary source of the story? Sounds legit. https://t.co/hrIqDsMtFG

Here is our report from 2022 outlining the hate campaign against Meghan, which is still happening today. Spreading conspiracy theories about Meghan has literally turned into a cottage industry. So, where is the outrage about that? https://t.co/2vkZWZs3vp pic.twitter.com/1qlL5s3tKW

This account promotes conspiracy theories about Meghan Markle and is now actively gathering information for a journalist at The Sun for an article on conspiracy theories related to Kate. Why the hell are journalists soliciting information from anti-Meghan trolls? pic.twitter.com/bVPndQCmtw

Also, Richard Eden: Could Kardashians be helping Harry and Meghan while Kate is off sick?

I am sorry to hear Kate has cancer, and I hope she has a full recovery. But it is also clear that all three earlier photos of her were fake, and the palace tried to cover it up. https://t.co/YdxSyyLoLz

Watching the UK press attempt to shame the public after they published stories that were untrue is something to behold. The public said they were being lied to and something else was going on.

Spoiler alert: They were being lied to.
This latest strategy is going to backfire. pic.twitter.com/wPMsflvIuR
The news hit the week and rocked British television.
As expected, Camilla Tominey, Angela Levin, Piers Morgan, The Daily Mail, Meghan McCain, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, Bethenny Frankel, The Daily Express, GBN and Sharon Osbourne will find some bulltshit to blame Meghan for.
As Meghan is starting a new business and charity, here comes to news of her sister-in-law and her health. Somehow a cash grab for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex says the know-it-alls of royal reporting.
The type of cancer has not been disclosed. According to Kensington Palace, Kate started a course of preventative chemotherapy in late February.

The announcement sparked an outpouring of support and comes as Kate's father-in-law, King Charles III, also undergoes cancer treatment.
"This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family," Kate, 42, said in the video, which was filmed at Windsor on Wednesday. "As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment."
The cancer was discovered in post-operative tests after her planned abdominal surgery in mid-January, she said.
Kate described the procedure as a "major abdominal surgery," and said in her video, "at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous."
"The surgery was successful," Kate said. "However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."
At the time of Kate's surgery, Kensington Palace said her condition was non-cancerous. The palace has provided little information on her condition since.

"It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK," Kate said. "As I have said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal, in my mind, body and spirits."
Kate said having her husband Prince William at her side has been "a great source of comfort and reassurance."
"We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery," Kate said. "I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone."
Kate will return to official duties when she's cleared by her medical team, according to the palace.
Charles said he is "so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did," a Buckingham Palace spokesman said Friday.
The king and the Princess of Wales were both in the hospital at the same time in January. In the last few weeks, the king has "remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law," the spokesperson said.
Charles and his wife Queen Camilla "will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time," the spokesperson said.
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said in a statement, "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace."
The Sussexes' comments come amid a yearslong rift between Harry and William.
U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement his thoughts are with Kate and her family, adding, "She has shown tremendous bravery with her statement today."
"In recent weeks she has been subjected to intense scrutiny and has been unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social media. When it comes to matters of health, like everyone else, she must be afforded the privacy to focus on her treatment and be with her loving family," he said. "I know I speak for the whole country in wishing her a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back in action when she's ready."
Trouble in paradise. |
Friday's announcement follows reports that several staffers at the London Clinic, where Kate was admitted in January, are under investigation for allegedly trying to access the Princess of Wales' medical records.
The announcement also comes weeks after she endured a photo editing controversy.
Kate marked Mother's Day in the United Kingdom, March 10, by sharing a photo on X of herself smiling and surrounded by her three kids. The image was the first official photo of Kate the public had seen since December.
The photo was picked up by several international news agencies, including The Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images and Agence France-Presse.
Those agencies later retracted the image, saying it may have been edited by the royals prior to its release.
The Associated Press said it appeared "the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP's photo standards."
The next day, Kate said her Mother's Day photo was edited and apologized for any "confusion" those alterations caused.
"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she said in a statement on X. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused."
Meanwhile, Kate's father-in-law, King Charles, is also undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer.
The king's cancer diagnosis -- which came after he was treated for benign prostate enlargement -- was announced publicly by the palace on Feb. 5.
The type of treatment has not been revealed.
The prime minister told the BBC in February that the king's cancer was "caught early."
