Reveal NEW DETAILS About Princess Catherine’s Illness & Why Royal Family Is Hiding the Truth
This is in line with King Charles, who revealed his own cancer diagnosis in February 2024. The same goes for his daughter-in-law’s cancer diagnosis—Kensington Palace emphasized the Princess’s right to privacy when it comes to her health and treatment. The paparazzi have backed off but the current online buzz about Catherine is comparable.
When you become a member of the British royal family, you essentially open yourself up to a world of fame that you never knew could exist.
It’s not quite the celebrity type of fame where you’re either admired or not talked about. Rather, it’s a balance of admiration and criticism, with the press publishing anything they believe will get eyes on it.
Nobody knows that better than Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Following news that the princess is officially in remission, many are curious about what type of cancer Catherine had.
Despite the good news, the palace will not be sharing any more details on her specific diagnosis. That remains the case even as she is now cancer-free. Kensington Palace will not be sharing any further private medical information, including what type of cancer she had or what stage it was.
The modern monarchy may not hold the same mystique it did when helmed by Queen Elizabeth. Undoubtedly, the crown jewels have been tarnished, but that is no reason to beat the Princess of Wales with the proverbial diamond scepter.
The truth is, Catherine has been hiding something personal, and confidential medical details are a basic right most of us take for granted. She deserves no different.
That might not sit well in a world where everyone has become too used to privacy-invading social media pile-ons—a world where the line between fact and fiction is blurring and distorting beyond recognition.
On January 17th, 2020, Kensington Palace announced the Princess of Wales underwent a planned abdominal surgery. It did not give many details, except that Kate would not return to royal duties until after Easter.
An edited Mother’s Day photo and the fact that she has not been seen out and about had the rumor mill working overtime. “I do worry about what happened to the truth,” Prince William’s uncle mused.
Death, body doubles, and Brazilian butlers—it’s been an eventful time for Princess Catherine, according to U.S. conspiracy theorists.
At that time, the princess was finding that recuperation had repercussions in a 24/7 media cycle demanding answers, especially stateside, where “Kate-baiting” is everywhere—from prime time to the White House.
As speculation over her health and whereabouts hit fever pitch, time-rich online critics spewed out ever more insane theories for her lack of visibility—from botched plastic surgery to a medically induced coma and even baseless rumors about the strength of her marriage.
They can’t and won’t be stopped. The “proof of life” footage of Catherine and William looking well and in good spirits at a local farm shop did little to silence American naysayers.
Worse, as news broke that staff at the hospital which treated the royal in January may have nefariously tried to access her medical files, the rumor mill kept on spinning.
Some royal experts believe that the couple will eventually share more information.
“They are at their most open when out interacting with members of the public, and I can see a world in which the princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements. If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it,” a friend of the couple said.
“They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready. I would expect that to be her instinct, and it will be her call. They’re not going to be rushed.”
This is in line with King Charles, who revealed his own cancer diagnosis in February 2024. The same goes for his daughter-in-law’s cancer diagnosis.
Kensington Palace emphasized the princess’s right to privacy when it comes to her health and treatment.
Appearing on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show, Charles Spencer, the ninth Earl Spencer, spoke openly about his apprehensions.
He can’t help but see similarities between Catherine’s situation and his sister Princess Diana’s.
Charles Spencer does believe that things have changed for the better since his sister’s tragic death in 1997.
The paparazzi have backed off, but the current online buzz about Catherine is comparable.
He hopes the truth comes out in the end.
He is thankful that things have shifted because of his sister’s death.
“I think it was more dangerous back in the day. If I look back to ’97 and Diana’s death, I think that was so shocking—the circumstance of her death was so shocking—that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it could and couldn’t do.”
He doesn’t think the tabloids changed out of the goodness of their hearts. He believes public outcry forced their hand—not because they had a moral judgment, but because it was unacceptable to the public.
