I’ll just refer back to this because on royalist threads I usually end up getting people point scoring against me.I'd say we have a right to know if she can't "work", we don't really have the right to know the specifics.
Lost my wife to bowel cancer leaving me to raise two kids alone. Kate is lucky, first class personal medical support on tap, no way she would get misdiagnosed allowing it to spread. I’m not bitter at her for having that support, but I am bitter that the rest of us and my wife didn’t get it.I wish her as a human being nothing but the best and to a quick recovery, as has been noted, everybody who posts on here has it in their family,
my aunt died from it at 28 leaving behind 5 kids
Still can't sand the royals as a concept and the laughably disproportonate news coverage they get
I lost my wife almost three years ago, also to bowel cancer. It’s a hideous disease and I can’t help but think back to the early days of my wife’s diagnosis, the emotions we had and the hope we tried to give ourselves that maybe it would turn out ok.Lost my wife to bowel cancer leaving me to raise two kids alone.

I agree to an extent that those working for Royal PR have handled this poorly, but they never should have been put into a position where they were having to release a recent photograph of Kate, just to prove that she was alive. It's insane to think that some were actually suggesting that she may have been dead.I’ll just refer back to this because on royalist threads I usually end up getting people point scoring against me.
She shouldn’t have had to explain her cancer diagnosis…the royal PR have really FUBARed this….and yes of course I wish her luck with her health, Despite hating their position of wealth and power I’ve always recognised that along with it comes a goldfish bowl existence that seems cruel to me.
They'd released a statement to say that she wouldn't be able to partake in royal duties until after Easter, and that should have just been respected.
Probably true, but the entire nation lost their marbles over this. It wasn’t just the 700+ posts on this thread.They'd released a statement to say that she wouldn't be able to partake in royal duties until after Easter, and that should have just been respected.

It was a worldwide story that everyone was gossiping about and making jokes about. There wasn’t a workplace that wasn’t talking about it. To say that it was a few people off a football forum is ridiculous. I don’t feel bad in the slightest for talking about it. Are people suggesting that you should never joke about anyone just in case they have cancer? It’s obviously sad and I hope she recovers.Probably true, but the entire nation lost their marbles over this. It wasn’t just the 700+ posts on this thread.
Yeah, as I said, it could have been handled much better.Probably true, but the entire nation lost their marbles over this. It wasn’t just the 700+ posts on this thread.
I agree. Sorry, for want of a better expression.The reason the nation “lost their marbles over this” (thanks atypical) is because from day 1 the story simply didn’t add up. 13 days in hospital, off until Easter, was kinda obvious something was awry.
Ok, well I was getting daily news alerts from most of the main outlets about it.Entire nation is stretching a little….
Nobody was taking the p*ss out of a mother with cancer you idiot. Nobody knew that. The story got out of hand because of the way it was handled.As I said before, the problem with the ”right on” in this country is that they mock the individuals, but duck the question about the institution. When the correct approach is to be utterly contemptuous of the institution, but utterly sympathetic to the individuals as human no beings.
This is true of no one more than your average lefty Republican. For years, they have been fawning lickspitiless of the institution and of its consequences, such as the House of Lords. Apart from a brief moment under Kinnock’s leadership, the Labour party, whether in government or opposition, has participated in that charade. Not just under new labour, but under the bloke who couldn’t eat a bacon sandwich and under the magic grandpa as well.
This is what the left gets wrong. It participates in the corrupt institutions that monarchy creates. And it assuages its conscience by taking the **** out of a nonce, or a mother who has cancer. It’s disgusting. And tonight’s events throw that hypocrisy into sharp relief.
