It reads more like they're "taking the mickey," which is a big part of British humor and social culture.

My mother never fully regained her sense of taste after chemo and surgery, so “years” after cancer she still looked like…a cancer patient. Kate has people to cover up the other effects on skin and hair but weight loss with cancer (even “preventative” chemo) isn’t really shocking.

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.

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.

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.

Which is why, I'm guessing, some people think pre-cancerous something was found and used as a cover for ED treatment, or a mental breakdown after the disclosure that she was one of the royal racists, and then there are the DV loons.

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.

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

Thank you, that's kind! Yes, I'm doing very well now.

Amazing- thanks for the update! Be well.

I just watched the coffee video. Wow that was overblown. From the commentary here I thought he had shamed her or was rude to her face. He just smiled and nicely said no. She seemed to be kidding with him. They were both laughing. Big whoop.

I'm so sorry to hear that, what a bummer. I can see how that would make eating not very enjoyable.

She's been very, very skinny since her wedding, much skinnier than she was in college, with a few years off for childbearing, and long before the cancer scare. Her weight does seem like a long-running ED.

I've never thought there was much credit to the ED rumors, but now I'm wondering if her severe morning sickness (which kept her out of the public eye during her pregnancies) was also because she was uncomfortable with the weight gain. Perhaps she does have a body image issue. I do think it started around the royal wedding, she was dreadfully thin before that and then seemed a little better (still thin, though).

Nope. He refuses to even pretend to drink the coffee she made. He even tells her to "make it better."

Are you married? Your spouse would put the cup to their lips, say "mmm!" take a fake sip, and nurse the cup for the rest of the event. He's supposed to be promoting this little coffee place. Are you telling us he's never had to deal with an unwanted beverage before? He's so bad at his job.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but Kate has since publicly visited the hospital where she had cancer treatment. If she's lying, a bunch of people surely know. I get that healthcare professionals are bound by privacy laws, but that's still a big risk. I think she's definitely been too skinny at times, but i honestly believe the cancer thing. Lying about cancer would take the RF down fast- much faster than Andrew. Which really says something about our society, btw.

I took it to mean that Kate wasn't acutely ill (as in, she was stable with her treatment plan) and Pippa really wanted to go to Mustique. Not a great look. Pippa should have said nothing.

I think he should have taken a sip, but the RD don't eat things they don't want to. They never eat shellfish - although Kate ate a raw oyster on a tour of Canada when William refused. And Kate refused to try the peanut paste on a tour showing the nutritional supplements that are used in places with famine. I think it's all weird and they should just take a small bite, but this isn't new.

I agree, a lie about cancer would be extremely risky, and it would take the Waleses down faster than anything Andrew ever did, and that's definitely a condemnation of our society. Which is why there may be some truth to it--a questionable pap smear, precancerous cells, or maybe even full-blown cancer. But the fact that she visited Marsden just the once and doesn't support cancer charities is also why people will forever be questioning why she told the Marsden chemo patients to get lots of sunlight, or told the Marsden patients that she had a port but nobody can see the port scar when she wears lowcut necklines or sleeveless dresses. People will be forever digging around the edges of this.

"Not ill in the traditional sense" doesn't mean "she wasn't in an ICU." Traditional illness would definitely encompass something like being treated for cancer.

If the argument is that they're royal so they don't have to do anything they don't want to do, including supporting their spouse and the business they're larping at, you're right, it's a weird flex.
