    And in a country o 320m people it's less than the Angelus gets

    So Catherine has cancer too. Hope all the people spreading horrible conspiracy theories, including on this thread, feel bad now. Can only imagine how those same people would be going on if it was Meghan and Harry being subjected to it.

    I wonder will Harry and Meghan reach out to Will, offer support, bury the hatchet

    Hopefully she recovers fully, sad with 3 young kids



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,190 ✭✭✭Ms2011


    That's heart breaking to read, please God it's been caught early & she'll fully recover.

    Can't imagine having to make an announcement like that.

    I actually feel bad for William. Dad and wife having cancer and being accused of all sorts online, mostly by the people who are supporters of his own brother

    Yep it’s pretty gross - it was bloody obvious whatever Kate was going through it was serious and personal, which she has an absolute right to.

    Saying that I think the palace should have continued to ask the press to respect her privacy - I think they could probably have supported her a bit more more



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,135 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    I don't think the palace asking people to respect her privacy would have stopped the insane theories going around online though. They had no choice but to reveal her personal medical info just to stop the speculation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,468 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Tbf it wasn't really the press driving it it was mainly dunce trolls trying to claim she got privacy because she was white unlike Meghan, or that Will had hit her, or she was anorexic/gone to rehab for addiction. Social Media was the hounding tool not the press.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,406 ✭✭✭alan partridge aha


    So eloquent Kate, let's hope you make a full recovery and stay healthy.

    Who cares what Harry and Meghan think or say about this? No doubt if there is any angle or victimisation to be squeezed out of this from their point of view, it will be. The best we can hope from them is silence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,724 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    I wasn't expecting her to have cancer, what a shock for them all.

    I kinda did simply because of knowing someone who had MAJOR abdominal surgery (female and similar age) in the last year followed by preventive chemo - so it was on my mind but I ddidnt say as didn’t want to speculate -recovery times obviously differ on an individual basis but she’s going to be off the pitch for a while yet and then just limited commitments for a time after that

    I guess some of the recent tabloid articles were on my mind when I posted that but take your point about the very aggressive social media thing that’s been supposedly happening for months now- I don’t engage with Twitter so I don’t see that rubbish.

    Have to say very touching broadcast by Kate this evening - I’ve a lot of respect for her after this- it can’t have been easy to do this. I know she knows the role, etc but doesn’t make that any easier personally

    Regardless of the statement today though, the Twitterati will continue the speculation around what type of cancer, what stage, prognosis of life expectancy based on their “theories” etc etc

    Pretty sick but don’t think this statement will stop the trolls - and the tabloids will “report it all “ which will just add to the whole thing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,696 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Best wishes on a full recovery...

    Im assuming that means the photo with William in a cap was a total scam.

    Im just catching up on this thread since the beginning of March and couldn’t let this post of your above pass by without comment. I remember a previous post about her health too.

    You really are a nasty little person.

    I know we’ve got distracted by this news on this thread and rightfully so, so not at all back seat modding or anything like that- it’s a totally natural detour.

    In terms of H&M, any thoughts on what might happen? Could there be a “back in the fold” movement in the coming months? Some “testing the waters” in terms of semi official appearances all choreographed by the palace grey suits?

    With Charles off the pitch and obviously this news, Royals are going to be thin on the ground now for a while - I’m sure there’s still a lot of distrust between the two couples but considering H&M are floundering overall in terms of their original aspirations at least, maybe it’s time to cut losses and give the RF a second chance? Gap year over back to work Harry?

    For me, the most important issue is that Catherine - who has shown real courage in making that video - recovers. All the speculation, innuendo, insinuation and conspiracy theories need to stop. The toxic echo chamber of so called "Social Media", which is so misnamed, needs to STFU.

    I can only imagine what they, as a family, have gone through, dealing with the ramifications of the diagnosis. Add the pile-on of bile, it would be nigh on unbearable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,338 ✭✭✭✭jm08


    I only wish Kate the best for a complete recovery from this.

    Now, with regard to my previous post about her health I actually got it right (from seeing her photo when she was driving with her mother). Of course, some people here were gravely offended by that as well.

    That photo which I commented on was fake by the way, so I don't know why I'm the nasty one here. I didn't post a fake photo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,135 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    No doubt h&m are brainstorming as we speak about how they can be the victims of this situation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,468 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Of course you were right lol. Were you right rambling about rehab and anorexia aswell?

    Squirm away but your act fell apart a long time ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 860 ✭✭✭kazamo


    Can’t really see H&M returning to the RF fold…….they see themselves as second class citizens and the spare, those views are unlikely to change regardless of the financial future they may have in the US or after the news released today.

    Sometimes returning only leads to greater resentment and the expectation that bailing out a second time is not far away.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,135 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    No you didn't get it right. You said she was receiving surgery and treatment for an eating disorder, that this was confirmed and that maybe she even had an anal prolapse. Disgusting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,724 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    If I was a member of the RF I'd rather spend my days in the Tower of London or a dank dungeon than have those two vindictive whingers back.

    They wanted out, they got out, let them sink or swim now that they've run out of accusations and gossip.

    Pair of nasty grifters.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,468 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    In true HarMeg fashion full on denial of reality is in effect. We all read her bile posts. Its the likes of her conspiracies that forced Kate to go public (while whining about HarMeg being hounded while being twice as vicious herself)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,724 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Megain must be absolutely livid with all the attention Catherine got, and the support she will get now.

    They've been wheeling out Andrew over Harry recently. Harry hasn't a hope, stuff would be delegated to Mike Tindall before Harry would get a sniff.
