All the conspiracy theories have vanished like a sand castle. The waves have also taken away all the ridicule about their photographic montages. Kate Middleton suffers from cancer. She herself explained it in a moving video. And now she understands everything. Even why she chose to hide the illness from her.
“It was a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process it and manage it privately for the sake of our young family,” said a calm and serious Princess of Wales. There is nothing less. She has even reported that she is receiving “preventive” chemotherapy treatment.
If it may be difficult for oneself to accept news of this magnitude, it is even more difficult to explain it to one’s children. And that is also what has happened to Catalina. How should a mother announce to her little ones that she suffers from a serious illness? Many families choose not to do so or to mask the diagnosis to avoid the suffering of their children, which adds even more pain to the situation. If Kate Middleton made her illness public, Princes George, Charlotte and Louis would know immediately, they would be exposed to a reality that the parental couple has hidden in the first instance with the aim of protecting them.
The princes of Wales have tried to manage it in their own way, at a pace that they may have had to rush due to all the nonsense that has been said about them in recent weeks. The British media even comment that they would have taken advantage of the Easter holidays to calmly share the situation with all the time necessary to children who are ten, eight and five years old.
It is true that the lack of information feeds monsters and that we had been waiting for too long for news from Catalina. It is not easy to combine royalty with private life. And this intimacy that has cost so much to respect could little be understood without having this information on the table. But it’s one thing to want to know and quite another to make up stories. Stories that hurt, like the re-emergence of Prince William’s alleged lover.
If in recent days, the manipulated photo and lack of transparency shook the reputation of the British monarchy, Kate Middleton has managed to reverse the situation with a video that no one expected. And if for some she had fallen into disgrace, today Catherine is more loved than ever by her subjects.
We should apologize to a Princess of Wales who has had to endure the worst that has been said about her at the worst of times. And let’s hope that the thing stays here and the wish that he expressed in the video is now respected: “We hope that you understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.”
Like King Charles, Catarina suffers from an unnamed cancer. It is also unknown in what state she has been detected. Kensington Palace has asked that there be no speculation about it. I think the time has come to shut up and abide. And, above all, wish the future queen of England a speedy recovery. Without further ado.
