    Didn’t expect that. Hopefully she’ll beat it! Can’t imagine trying to reconcile that you’ve got cancer and then the public are making up conspiracy theories about you and your husband.

    William has basically just found out his dad and wife both have cancer, that’s got to be tough.

      I wonder if they’d even announced it had it not been for the media frenzy over the last month or so. Can’t imagine trying to shield your children from this.

        I’d think they’d maybe mention at some point but probably later and definitely not on video. The video was solely because of the nonsense that happened over the photo.

      They released an official statement saying the woman had personally photoshopped her own photo because graphic design is her passion.

      This really wasn’t the general public’s fault.

        They asked the public to give her privacy while she went through a health concern. The public started claiming she was dead. Fuck the public.

            Yes because it’s well known that when people leave the royal family that they’re left alone and not chased to their death in a tunnel in Paris.

                Sorry. Please point me to when a member of the royal family did this?

                Don’t strawman, you said they’d get privacy if they weren’t royals, I showed you a very good example where that isn’t the case.

          They asked the public to give her privacy while she went through a health concern.

          No they didn’t, they released statements saying she was just getting her graphic design degree. Lmao

                  I can’t imagine the sad things that needed to happen in your life to make you defend the British Royal Family on Lemmy in 2024. If you need to be a boot licker than at least suck Elon Musk off instead, still embarrassing but at least you’d have evolved past the 16th Century.

                  Princess Kate publicly took responsibility for the manipulated family photograph released by Kensington Palace. She acknowledged experimenting with editing and apologized for any confusion caused by the image, emphasizing that she hoped everyone celebrating had a happy Mother’s Day.

                    Are you confused? None of that suggests she was forced to ‘take the blame’.

                    Also, not falling for weird conspiracy theories about a woman with cancer is not ‘defending the royals’.
