  1. Obligatory fuck cancer.

    ​

    Also spare a thought for William, who within a few years has lost his grandmother, his father has cancer, his brother is estranged and now his wife has cancer.

  2. It’s so scary how cancer can come at any time and just ruin our lives. I hope she gets better soon

  3. I was watching the TV when it came up as breaking news. I thought for one moment that they were going to say that she had died after all the speculation. I’m glad that it seems to all have been removed during surgery, and sorry that this announcement needed to be made in the first place.

  4. Will the internet ghouls shut up now? Probably not.

  5. That’s horrible, what an absolutely crap time for the family. Hopefully she gets better soon.

  6. I hope the online ghouls and conspiracy theorists will go fuck themselves now. Forcing someone to have to share this news at a stressful and sensitive time is disgusting. Also fuck cancer and I hope she gets better soon.

  7. I don’t give a shit about the royals, but whatever age, ethnicity, level of wealth I wouldn’t wish them to have cancer

    Hope she and he will recover

  8. Oh no that is sad news. It must be so hard to be going through this with such young children.

  9. Damn.
    Their entire PR team needs firing though, they have handled the whole situation atrociously with – sadly – predictable outcomes.

  10. Well this will embolden the conspiracy nuts the second there is any more radio silence or doctored pictures 

  11. If youve seen me post in the past Im currently getting Chemo for Cancer. 

    Doing this privately is hard enough with the odd neighbour having a gossip behind my back. I cant imagine how it must feel to have the internet coming up with rumours and theories. 
    There will be people who double down because they dont want to admit theyve been wrong and cruel but good on those who can say “wow this has made me think about my actions in the future”. You never know what someone is dealing with. Choose kindness or be silent.

    I wish her well and hope she has a quick, safe and private recovery. 

  12. Poor lass. Hope it goes well for her, and she beats it.

    Just utter contempt for those who have hounded her into making this announcement. Imagine having a serious op, thinking no cancer, to be told well actually, then being forced to stand on a table and announce it to the world because numpties out there can’t get the idea that they don’t own the royals or their health information. They’re real humans with real feelings and it smacks of the Diana era. Her kids suffered from that, and now they’re re-suffering again from how horrible a subset of people in the UK and world are.

    Wish her nothing but the best, and to have peace and quiet for a bit.

  13. Whomever it is, hearing that a parent with young children is going through this triggers undeniably heartfelt empathy from any even half decent person.
    Here’s hoping that it was caught early and she can be a beacon of hope to all of us who have been through similar diagnoses.

  14. The press have forced her to tell us this. They have hounded her with all these conspiracy theories. The poor woman wanted to keep this private, I hope the press feel really bad now. I hope her children are coping ok with this too.

  15. I’m not a fan of ’em the monarchy but it’s a sad world when someone has to come out and explain a personal matter due to the shite online.

  16. It must really suck for the family at the moment since Charles also has cancer. I hope George, Charlotte and Louis are holding up okay.

    It’s also quite bad that she had to release this earlier than I think she wanted as the announcement of her surgery also said she would be out of action until after Easter.

  17. This genuinely shocked me, I actually got a little teary eyed watching her video. I lost my aunt to cancer 10 years ago and it still has an impact on the family, it’s such a vile disease I would never wish on anyone. I hope all the conspiracy theorists and the media hang their heads in shame for their behaviour the last few weeks! And poor William! Having to process and come to terms with his father being diagnosed with cancer, and now his wife too. I sincerely hope that she makes a full recovery and beats this, as it would be awful if George, Charlotte and Louis have to grow up without their mum like William and Harry had to.

  18. She has handled this with such grace. At no point has she said ‘you fuckers made me have to do this. We told you I wouldn’t be around, and you’ve forced my hand, cunts’.

  19. The reason William didn’t attend the king of Greece memorial service was due to finding out on the day that Katherine had cancer, which is absolutely understandable.

    It must have been a huge shock to both of them.

  20. How do you explain such a thing to young children?

    Not interested in talk of wealth and privilege. Horrendous thing to deal with for anyone.

  21. Well done dickheads you forced a mother with cancer to make a video politely asking you to leave her alone. You lot can never judge anyone for gossiping again

  22. My only brother is undergoing chemo. It’s private within our family and friends. He’s having a terrible time, so best of luck to Princess of Wales, King, and all other sufferers.

  23. I hope the people constantly making videos and thinking up theories feel like absolute shit.

    Hopefully her treatment goes well. No one deserves cancer – it’s an awful disease.

  24. After losing my Mum (46) at 16, I do hope she recovers. Regardless of people’s thoughts on the Royal’s, we are all human.

  25. The joys of being in the public eye, means everyone feels a right to know your business.

    Had cancer myself…. It’s a bastard. For the sake of her young family, I hope she comes through it well!

  26. not a fan of the royals but the way the press and social media has literally hounded this woman for weeks is unreal. I haven’t watched the video but I guess she’s been practically forced to make this so as to stop all this nonsense in the media everyday. She looks pretty tired and unwell in that still image. Imagine being literally forced to make a video when you’ve been diagnosed with cancer. I just wonder why they didn’t issue a small written statement sooner, then there would be no need for this video.

  27. I usually don’t care about the Royals but I know what the feeling is like. Around the same time as her diagnosis, my grandad went in for a procedure to drain fluid from his lungs and similarly came away with a cancer diagnosis. Its scary especially when you are away at Uni where my family are in a different city and you have wait for the uni week to be over to go home. Cancer is a scary thing to hit your family and you don’t anticipate the emotions it brings until it does.

  28. This has to be the most sane discussion I have seen about the Princess of Wales anywhere online in years.

  29. I guessed it was something serious. Not a royalist but I hope she makes a full recovery.

  30. I called this a few weeks ago, that the press were hounding her as though they knew something but couldn’t publish it. Medical in confidence information can’t be published and they’ve hounded the poor woman to do this. Shame on them.

  31. I have little to no interest in the royal family but damn this is rough to hear.

    I hope the best for her and her family.

  32. media need to leave her alone, there fucking horrible leeches.
