People's editor is a British guy who shills for the monarchy. Nowadays People literally (haha, and I'm not even that poster) takes articles straight from the British tabloids and republishes them. The mag might be OK for US celebs, but take anything they say about the British monarchy with a grain of salt.

She didn't use the word "cancer," she just said "my diagnosis." Which could refer to Crohn's or something else. The distinction is important because there's a whole debate in the UK about how she obviously went through something in 2024, but what was it.

On the one hand, the future of the British monarchy needs a couple like Will and Kate. Boring, predictable, dependable with a solid family. I really do think they are harmless and their boring, dependable family life is exactly what the British monarchy needs.

On the other hand...I hope she and the press cool it with her cancer thing.Just almost two years later, we saw what happened to another youngish lady with a loving family and small kids (Tatiana Schlossberg) who really had cancer. After watching (from very afar), Kate's "cancer" thing just seems so benign.

I’m sorry to say I agree. She said “cancer had been present” and that she was receiving preventive (adjuvant) therapy. Three months later she announced she was “cancer free!” and started telling chemo patients to maximize sunlight (very bad advice). Two years later, it’s starting to read like they’re trying to deflect from Andrew.

I would be thrilled if she didn't have cancer- but boy would that be messed up.

i’m the poster who started this side thread.

i do think she had cancer or pre-cancer. or something.

but cancers are different. thyroid cancer is so different from pancreatic cancer. after witnessing tatiana’s journey, i just don’t think kate had nearly as serious a form of cancer. it’s kinda like when my dh has a cold and he acts like he’s dying.

+1 she has to be restricting her food.

She's known to be a healthy eater and unusually active. Tennis, skiing, swimming, etc. If she's cleaned up her diet even further post-cancer, I'm not surprised she dropped weight.

I really hate it when Kate's fangirls portray her being--objectively--severely underweight as "elegant" or "healthy and active." Whether she's still sick from cancer treatment or Crohn's disease, or she's suffering from an ED, this sort of rationalization is just terrible.

I didn't say one word about her appearance. She is known to eat whole foods and do sports. She was already thin. If she has cut even more things out of her diet after her cancer diagnosis (and who knows what meds she takes now), I'm not surprised she lost weight.

THis is SUCH an annoying phrase that is now trendy. What is everyone else eating? Half foods? The only other thing more obnoxious than this is the constant yammering about eating "clean", because everyone else is obviously eating partial and dirty food.

There's a literal store called Whole Foods that's been open over 30 years. It's not a trendy word lady.

Would you please challenge yourself to go one day without using the word "literal" or "literally."

I literally can't- sorry!

At least she's not stuffing the word "SUPER!" in every sentence.

DP. You two are *super* annoying, stop deflecting from the points PP is trying to make.

Sorry, based on your post I thought we were only using late 20th century vernacular

There was also a poster here a while ago who suggested it may be a more serious form (in terms of 5 year survival rates) and that's why the palace hasn't said more. Who knows. What happened to Tatiana was so tragic.

You don't know enough about her health issues to decide they're no big deal. It's incredibly obnoxious to think you get to decide how she addresses this with the public. I had malignant melanoma in my early 20s and was scared to death and had a few coworkers with ignorant attitudes like yours. They had no clue how deadly it can be and were so stupid and felt the need to make announcements about how I should be managing it.

I'm the poster you're ranting at, although not the poster who just said she started this side-bar. I've had cancer, in fact I've had cancer that required "major abdominal surgery" six years ago.

Look, it's good advice to *everyone* to drink little or no alcohol. So just say that. Don't agree to promote someone's beer, and then use the brewery visit as an opportunity to play the victim card several years after the cancer was removed, in fact refusing to even pretend to sip their beer and instead announcing that their beer is basically poison in a glass. Because that's a bad look and seems like you're trying to distract from Uncle Pedo.

DP. "There was also a poster here a while ago who suggested" is doing a lot of work here. Meanwhile, Kate skis multiple times a year and, yes, reportedly works out for hours every day. The idea that she's doomed within another three years seems a stretch.

Glad you're doing ok (if I may presume that). Sounds like you went through a lot.

I don't think anyone knows what to think, hence all the speculation about the royals on this forum. These threads get hundreds of pages sometimes. If the RF really wanted to shut down all the rumors, they would be more forthright sometimes.

The Prince Andrew angle is disturbing but it's understandable why people are starting to think that after all that's come out (which I assume is just a fraction of the story).

Having cancer in any form is not “kinda like” having a cold.

True.

I was told I had precancerous cells about a decade ago at a routine checkup. All that happened was that I had more frequent monitoring for a few years until I no longer had precancerous cells.

There is a huge range in what cancer can mean. And it’s telling that she never says she had cancer, just vaguely alludes to her diagnosis.

Pippa, when asked why she went to Mustique in February 2024 in the middle of Kate's health crisis, said "she isn't ill in the traditional sense." God only knows what that means.

There are people who will die on the hill of "she got a bad pap smear and used this as cover for ED treatment." Which, if that's true, then good for her.

Yes, this is precisely why people get annoyed when she then references or plays up her illness, unnecessarily, at other times.

If Kate had cancer, why wouldn't they just say she had cancer? Alternatively, if she had something less serious but still stressful to go through (like something identified as pre-cancerous) why not just say she had pre-cancerous growths and they were removed and now she has to be vigilant about cancer screening? All of that is sympathetic and understandable and would end the speculation. She would not even have to identify the kind of cancer if that seems invasive (I can understand that). But why dance around whether she had cancer or not, and make these vague statements that invite further questions? I just don't get it, and it makes you think they are covering something up and manipulating the situation for sympathy. Which is not something I like thinking about other people, but I've never encountered someone behaving this way about a medical diagnosis before.
