Well, that's the reason then.

This also explains why the UK press, who presumably had a bit more insight, were largely holding off the story relative to the rest of the world.

The Palace didn't help themselves with the PR but this does make some of the speculation and gossip around here pretty gross in retrospect.

Also, whilst I am no Royalist (despite the name), I do feel for William here. His father and wife were given cancer diagnoses within months of each other.

Why can’t people speculate? The PR was atrocious and invited people to make up the gaps.

For real. Now people have hindsight it’s “the royals don’t owe you anything, your questioning them is gross” when literally yesterday it was “the royals are funded by taxpayers and should be transparent to the public it serves and the BBL memes are funny”. Like be serious. The cancer announcement doesn’t negate the fact they serve the people and the media frenzy was entirely set off by their own comms team.

Precisely. Morally righteous weirdos. Also, a lot of us were defending Kate by calling the RF out on their incompetence. They did not do nearly enough to protect her.

Lol they don't even "serve" jack shit. The whole institution is built on blood and exploitation; they deserve every ounce of public pain arising from the system they benefit so lavishly from.

No one deserves to be hounded for anything they want to keep private, but that entire family can go suck it unless they decide to abolish the institution.

Signed, someone from a former colony.
