They didn’t find the cancer until a few days after the surgery, right? Maybe her trip was in the interim.

I don’t know the timing of things, but I wonder if they say they found out is the day William backed out of that memorial service.

Yes, that was the day, according to the BBC.

If that's the same day, the NHS is worse than I thought, and I'm rooting for national health insurance here in the US. It shouldn't take more than 3-4 days after surgery to get a biopsy.

They use private doctors. Even if it was NHS, someone like her could get everything expedited. Some things just take a long time.

Yes, that was the day, according to the BBC.

That was a month later, though. Biopsies don’t take that long.

They don’t need to disclose a new diagnosis right away. My mom has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and didn’t even tell me for about 4 weeks. She was seeing doctors, getting opinions and it took awhile to wrap her head around it. Blow hards on twitter can wait.

But KP didn't announce anything the day of the memorial service. And presumably (I hope the NHS isn't that bad) they had the biopsy 3 weeks before that. So none of this explains William's absence.

Possibly she started chemo that day. His absence would have been totally understandable in that situation.

Who cares.

+1 the manipulated photo was weird but now we know this is kind of the BRF's thing and we should see the photos they release more as art/decor than fact.

As far as Kate's cancer I don't feel entitled to any details. I can't imagine she would lie about something like this. I wish her and her family well. They must be having a really rough time.

Nobody here is asking for details on her cancer. Just as nobody is demanding details about Charles' cancer.

But the idea that we should just all accept manipulated photos that are put out as proof of life as merely "art/decor" is truly insane.

If you are speculating about the timing of biopsies/results/diagnosis I think that is weird that you care to know these things. You obviously want all the details.

Re: the photos

Well if they are art/decor, then news agencies shouldn't print them as fact. I'm not saying accept them as real

His wife has cancer. They have young kids. His father has cancer. That's a lot to process. That explains his absence.

Biopsies should be back within 5-10 days. But if they come back positive for cancer, sometimes additional testing is done to determine tumor markers - that can be another 5 days or so. Plus in order for her to get her cancer properly staged, they may have needed a bunch of scans which can take at least a few days.

Absolutely. But they already had the bad news. And biopsies don't take 10 days. Even with 15 days, none of this gets us to that memorial service.

Relax. We were literally told it wasn’t cancer.

DP. The photo was the unfortunately-timed collision between photos for news and photos for portraits. Different photos, different rules. Although they aren't admitting it, this was more the fault of the AP and others, who treated family pictures as state news, than KP.

But no, KP isn't North Korea. And many people are willing to give them a lot of latitude right now.

You're responding to me and I'm the pp who posted above that I had endometrial cancer. I know a few things about this, so I don't need to "speculate" as you put it.

And you completely misrepresented my post. I wasn't "speculating" about a single thing. In fact I supported the idea that we don't need to know the details.

And KP DID put that photo out as fact, with something about how it had been taken the previous week. Your dishonest, naive post is Exhibit A for why people on the other thread were so frustrated with princess fantasists.

I agree. Insane posters are commenting she looks ill. She’s prettier with the no makeup look. Wishing her the very best outcome.

Geez, if someone as healthy as her gets cancer then what hope is there for the rest of us…

Wow, defensive much? Don't engage in a convo about the circumstances of someone's cancer diagnosis if you don't think it's appropriate. You are not the only person in the world who "knows something" about this.

The BBC says she began chemotherapy in late February, so that is right after the memorial service.

Same. Women in their 40s often look better with minimal makeup. I, too, wish her the very best outcome.

There’s no shame in any cancer diagnosis, but I wonder if she isn’t sharing it because it’s cervical cancer—which sadly carries a stigma and would prompt more speculation or rumors (like what happened when Michael Douglas’ cancer came out and his wife was embarrassed by gossip that she had given it to him).

New York Post: "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘had no idea’ about Kate Middleton’s cancer: ‘Trust has been broken’"
source: https://nypost.com/2024/03/22/world-news/prince-harry-meghan-markle-blindsided-about-kate-middletons-cancer/

If you read the article, the trust is referring to William’s trust, which was broken by Harry and therefore he did not tell Harry anything.

I feel for William. Supporting his father and wife, no brother to lean on, no children old enough to lean on. Hopefully he has one or two really close friends

I do, too. It doesn't matter what position you are in in life, having your father and wife both diagnosed with cancer within weeks (?) Of each other is tough.
