History of Cancer in the Royal Family 

The Royals speaking openly about the cancer diagnoses, treatment, and warning signs could raise public awareness and raise funding and resources for research.

To those complaining in the comments: this is a historical examination video about royals who have had cancer. It does not imply that the cancers from the Tudor era have led to the cancers in contemporary members. Nor has it suggested that Kate, who married into the family, has cancer because she is part of the royal family. Did y’all even watch the video??

Interesting. Also, did not notice until I went to comment that you JUST uploaded this lol.

You do realise that the Princess of Wales married into the family, so therefore her cancer couldn't be connected to the royal disposition of having cancer?

I was thinking about this channel RIGHT away when I heard about her cancer.

Catherine is NOT one of the family as speaking of family decease! She is a Middleton!

“Kathryn of Aragon… Who needs no introduction…” Lol

The Royal Family are also human beings like the rest ua, who deserve privacy and time to process illness.

As a physician, this is annoying speculation. Cancer is exceedingly common - listed as the 2nd most common cause of death worldwide (after cardiovascular disease). Cancer genetics is very complicated - very rare is X gene causes Y cancer a truism - instead it is X gene leads to increased risk of Y/Z/A/B/C cancers. Quite frankly, the fact that so FEW members of the royal family have verified cancer is amazing (and yes, I recognize that not all members are forthright with their health issues).

Appreciate your work. Thanks for everything England London Shy Historian. You moved to Milan Italy Thomas yes I am Italian citizen. Never go back to Scotland Glasgow. Excellent England London Britain. Awesome. Brilliant content. Past History on English Kings and Queens.

A bit of a silly video The modern royals are barely related to the Tudors, so any genes predisposing to cancer from back then wouldn't be present in modern Royals. Certainly not in someone who married in! The genetics of cancer are also pretty complicated

No apologies about the video I found it very interesting.

Before 1 hour club: 👇

Royal or not, cancer is becoming more common, possibly because people are living longer and have more time for the expression of genetic degeneration (look up telomeres - the more times DNA divides in cell replacement, ie the older you get, the more likely the DNA can start to get faulty), not to mention environmental factors like the much greater amount of radiation most of us are exposed to nowadays (also causing DNA degeneration). Without any dramatics, two of my uncles and one aunt had different types of cancers and two out of three succumbed to theirs. One of my grandfathers died of cancer in his 60s and one of his sisters died of cancer in her '40s. At least one of my father's cousins died at 50. My brother has been in the throes of trying to get full assessment of a meningioma for several months (doctors not communicating with one another...) and I'm hoping he gets some attention before it's too late. My best friend died of cancer in his 30s. What I'm saying is - cancer is everywhere. My very best wishes to everybody who has to go through it - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Oh wow

One in every two people will be diagnosed with cancer 😢in their life time,so can happen to anyone royalty or not.

I ain't concerned. It's unfortunate, however, the RF are wealthy oligarchs with a questionable reputation. EIIR ain't around to use her influence and reputation. Nothing about the RF will be concealed anymore IMO,.

I heard that every on of Henry the viii wives were descended from John of gaunt is this true?

Princess Margaret died of cancer. Also Katherine is a distant cousin of William.

i wonder if there's a correlation with cancer and inbreeding lol (don't kiss your cousins ya'll)

thank god, natural selection is working
