He spent most of it lying in Camilla's bed. His mother refused to abdicate because she knew he would be a terrible king. |
I don’t think anyone in their 40s with young kids and a sick wife is ready to lose their last surviving parent and significantly step up their profession responsibilities. Doesn’t matter what the role is, those circumstances are beyond stressful. |
Ribbon cutting void. That’s a good one. |
I think this is very sad. But it also shows us that cancer doesn’t care who you are, how rich you are, how much medical access you have.

Yes, I think about this when I read that a very wealthy person, for example Steve Jobs, dies from cancer or other health related issue. Despite having enough money to buy the best care and latest treatments, they can suffer and die just like the poor person who can't afford any of that. |
This. When Steve Jobs passed away from cancer, it was incredibly eye opening for me. Health is the most important thing in the world and no amount of money can buy your way out of poor health. Sometimes it's just bad luck. Awful. |

In the real world people do it all the time. This is life. |

Many people go on to live without disabling symptoms; it all depends on the kind of cancer and other factors. There is no reason the public should know any of the details about her particular cancer. |
Poor Will, I can’t imagine how stressful this must be for him in particular. |
