Kate Middleton reveals she has cancer | The News Agents

The back and back photos the market the cares

@@allenjenkins-xd5ui Really? Up yours!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect your " I'm a royalist", so thank you for your lovely comment a truly wonderful person.

​@@taekwanlew calm down. Try to be civil

@@washingmachineenvy He stated that he's quite happy for Kate to die of cancer, a mother and wife and you want me to be civil? Really?

My view exactly.

Bullying to any humane Beng no matter who they are they have to respect each other

No one I know has had their cancer treatment unduly delayed on the NHS

Only 62.3% of people in England received their diagnosis and started their first treatment within 2 months (or 62 days) of an urgent referral* in January 2024. The target is 85%. Therefore, 38% have to wait more than 2 months, in many cases a lot longer than 2 months.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, does that mean rumours old and new cannot be true?

@@hahmed6308 fair play, proper comeback with stats to prove your point. Mine was obviously based on personal experience but will always bow to those with greater knowledge

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, does that mean rumours about you and your husband old and new cannot be true?

Sure, but it's valid Enough to say that many that have been in similar circumstances have tried to conceal the condition, as is their right. This includes the Princess of Wales.

They told us what we needed to know at the start, people should have respected that. We don’t have a right to updates, it’s her personal business.

Unfortunately I think things are not doing well and we can expect anything in the near future. Hope I’m wrong.

The media in Britain aren’t the issue, they’ve just been reporting what they know. The US media are the problem, they’ve been actively encouraging all the conspiracy theories.

The conspiracy theorists probably just want another mystery to chase but a lot of the speculation would have definitely been from a place of concern. Of course people cannot pass up the opportunity to assume bad intentions and cast aspersions.

Yes the photos back back Market

What’s BBLs pls?

This doesn't make sense though. King Charles is an example of that, and now that we do know, the media aren't behaving in a particularly negative way around any assumption that she's at "death's door". They're wishing her well and a speedy recovery.

@@Woodzta Charles is different because he’s been visible since his health issues were announced. Kate, who the press are more fascinated by, hasn’t been. If people had known she had cancer and the first photo of her turned out to be edited, of course that would trigger a flood of speculation.

​@@NeilTaylor1 I don't know why my post was deleted, but I'll try again. Charles is really only different based on the decisions they made. When you say "worse", it's hard to really tell what you mean. The media were sympathetic to King Charles after the announcement. They chose to release the edited photo. They chose for her to be completely out of sight. They chose to make the announcement yesterday, and again, this has effectively ended the speculation by the media and she is receiving best wishes. There's nothing to suggest that they had no control over the narrative, or that the media would have led with further negative conspiracies instead of the support and best wishes that she is receiving right now by said media.

We already had papers printing to leave them alone before she even made the announcement? It's insane to imply that they had no control over how this would go.

Even the statement by Kate is shady and vague. Here’s something fishy! Kensington Palace has strongly asked people not to speculate on what cancer she has or what stage it is. She said “cancer had been present”. A very vague statement and open to many speculations wither she even has cancer now or at any time.

I’m sure the palace will take your PR advice to heart. Thank you. Any thoughts on how to achieve world peace?

@@hus390Give it a rest mate.

​@@hus390 what difference does it make to your life either way? Are the same with your neighbours, needing to know every little detail. Seems like a pretty shallow approach to your existence

@@RichardLamsdale Im sure they wont and yet Im still entitled to my opinion.

Precisely. It was handled so badly by KP.

They were trying to protect their children until school holidays.

Sure, except many people do try to keep cancer diagnosis to themselves. My mother never told us of her uteruses cancer, nor my aunts stomach Cancer, at least till it was terminal. Though the princess of Wales, she has a right to hold her health to herself.

The difference is Charles doesn’t have young children and probably want time to find out how serious it was. And get the kids home from school to tell them.

Do we really need to put the burden on cancer patients to unwillingly announce their diagnosis to avoid invasive speculation than on the public to just...be better?

Sadly cancer doesn’t care whether you go to a better doctor or not.

@@avakholwadia1420 we’ll see

Relevance?

@@ffotograffydd do I really have to spell it out to you?

@@sarahp007 So you don’t have an answer…

Many of their costs will not change if they are ill, or not, for months on end - staff, "house" upkeep (palace?), costs, repairs etc Or are you saying they should be made homeless, without staff to deal with the media, cooking, cleaning, maintenance, diary commitments, charity requests etc etc etc etc

​ @Neilhuny They have a reasonable amount of personal wealth (besides what they own from being heir to the crown) and so if they choose not to work then they could pay personally. Many of the costs they incur are related to their working - security/travel costs are more expensive if undertaking events as a public figure for example. A reduction in these at present might actually mean that they are in a *better* financial situation if they are not undertaking duties whilst retaining their full income. The presenters on this and other news channels keep talking about how understandable it is that William not be able to work while she's ill. It's understandable to not *want* to work whilst your partner is sick so you can care for them and your children. I'm certain this is the case for most families in this situation (and that my mother would have wanted to do this when my father was sick). But for most people it's not a choice they can make whilst retaining their salary. If that’s a choice they make, they like others who do so, should have financial matters be a part of that decision, not something they don’t have to consider. In general I think it's ridiculous as has been done here and elsewhere to claim that they are sharing the experience of others in this situation - with a family member having a prolonged illness - when they are from the outset with their wealth in a position of privilege which allows choices others will never have the option to make (such as private healthcare ensuring immediate treatment), but are also being allowed to make a choice not to work without reducing their income in a way others cannot. I do not know for certain but I would be surprised if there was any other publicly funded position where this would be the case, and suspect the same of private employment. If they were both civil servants, the sick individual would stop getting full pay and go down to statutory after a contracted amount. Their partner would have to take holiday time and when this ran out unpaid leave if they could not/chose not to work. Many people in these situations are forced to return to work at a time that they would prefer not to due to finances. They are acting like all their income comes from personal wealth, making them free to make these choices with no accountability. Given that the former is not true, the latter should not be.

In fairness, public outpouring of sympathy is not limited to the Royals. My partner went through cancer treatment last year and had tremendous support from family, friends and especially the superb medical team (doctors, nurses, support team and caring MacMillan team) that supported and treated him. Only the most narcissistic would probably not care. OK, she’s a Royal, but she’s also a mother of three children. Sure, she got treatment quickly probably because of her status, but those with money do jump the queue. If the government properly funded the NHS and paid staff what they’re worth then we’d all get rapid treatment.

Actually you can blame people, and I do.

You can't blame them for wondering, but you can blame them for their behaviour/hysterics.

Well I blame the palace for releasing a picture so badly shopped it had people thinking she'd been abducted by aliens.@@tisFrancesfault

​@@TheWizardsNose the reasonable us took it as one of two things. That she's fine and cocked up in a personally published a photo, this a non event, or she's very ill and tried to reassure.... The fact that the latter was supposed should have been enough to shut people up. But as ever the press must hound...

Yes you can!

Because we do not need to know. An individual's health is ultimately a private matter.

​@@tisFrancesfaultNo

Yes the people have right

The UK stinky media, not me.

Who bullied her? I think we is a rather broad condemnation. If you feel disgraced that is up to you, many of us weren't caught up in the 'bullying'

Newsflash: They won't.

@@annishilcock4587 well if it doesn't include you it doesn't include you. The three podcasters just spoke in general terms as well 'the public'.

@@Babblebabble87 Andre you said WE.

Kate

@15.00 Ms Maitlis readily owned up to her own speculation, but "....now she's a saint?" When did Ms Maitlis elevate her to THAT particular station?

Tbf, of the three, she has stated her view of the right of privacy.

Tbf she reported on the wild online speculation. As a journalist should.

Who says she's special apart from the fact she's the next Queen of England. And despite that she found time to remember everybody who has. cancer with encouraging words . What a bitter and nasty person you must be .

You might not personally care, but I would argue that the 42 year old, future Queen of Britain and the Commonwealth having cancer is very much newsworthy.

@ElviraCondomine I said which you clearly ignored "I am sorry she has cancer" but elevating her to be better than other people with cancer is wrong morally, this is a private thing for her and her family, why do you think so many rumours and conspiracy theories went around. People are noisy. If you believe she is more important than anyone else, I hope it never effects you

@@markfarmer3948 I don't believe she is more important that anyone else, I'm a republican who wants the monarchy abolished but I still think it's news, regardless of her wait free treatment.

Kate

That her name Kate

The photos the Market the back to back every thing

Behave it was her photo her children she was just putting out a picture for mother's day as she always does. She did not want her illness talked about until her children broke up from school. Look at her you can see she's ill, so she wanted a nice photo of her family posted. A photo honesty is that all you can think of you need to give your head a wobble.

​obhanryanoleary2816 Old photos the Market the car no one to blame

Her name is Catherine, her title is Priness of Wales.....although she is known as Kate to some.....and Kate Middleton to others.

So princess Katie fails the respect test?! Personally I would have preferred if people had shown her some respect by allowing her some privacy. But I suppose the next best thing is to call her 'HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales'!!!!

Katey

What it means is that something was removed surgically, and that biopsies from it were sent to histology for analysis.

The only thing that smells is your determination to foster a conspiracy theory, based on your ignorance of normal medical practice and the English language. "Cancer had been present" is not a shady sentence at all, and there's nothing vague whatsoever. It means that biopsies showed that the cancer was already there before the operation, and makes perfect sense in this context.

@@w0033944 Not at all. Don’t make stuff up!

Not like your sick mind does.

Fishy for a conspiracy theorist… the rest of us know that if they operate and find evidence of a cancer they remove it.

Were you really expecting the media to completely ignore it? Other countries around the world had almost as much media coverage about it as we had! It's on the royals themselves as to how this went down. Nobody forced them to release a doctored photo or segregate their announcements and encourage suspicion.
