In recent days, the Daily Mail’s columnists have suddenly discovered something dreadful: people on the internet with negative opinions about the Windsors. Specifically, negative opinions about the Princess of Wales. The Mail’s royalists have finally put it all together: this is internet bullying! But it’s only bullying when it’s about Kate. When it’s Jeremy Clarkson or Piers Morgan or Camilla Tominey or Dan Wootton or Richard Eden writing truly horrific sh-t about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, that is NOT bullying in the least. When Piers Morgan called Meghan a liar after Meghan wept as she described her suicidal ideation, that was not bullying in the least. When royal reporters all decided, en masse, to lie repeatedly about “Meghan making Kate cry,” that was not bullying in the least. But if you even suggest that Kate could possibly, perchance, be slightly more forthcoming about her medical drama, then you are unquestionably a bully. So says Richard Eden!
The Princess of Wales should ignore internet bullies who demand further details of her recent operation. That’s the view of Richard Eden in the latest edition of his Palace Confidential news letter.
While King Charles is to be applauded for discussing his own condition – an enlarged prostate – and raising awareness in the process, the princess deserves more privacy, Eden writes: ‘I believe that Catherine should ignore the demands for more details. Why should she have to make public highly personal information about her health? She is not our head of state, or even married to one.’
Since Kensington Palace issued a statement last week reporting that the Princess of Wales had been admitted to hospital for ‘abdominal surgery’, there have been growing calls for her to provide more details about the nature of her operation.
‘We know that it was serious because officials said Catherine, 42, would remain in hospital for up to two weeks and was “unlikely to return to public duties” after Easter, ten weeks from now,’ writes Eden. ‘It hasn’t just been commentators online urging our future Queen to shed more light on her condition; even The Times published a letter suggesting that it would encourage women to come forward for treatment if Catherine gave more details.’
‘Buckingham Palace’s statement about King Charles’s health has, it must be said, been grist to the mill for those calling for greater openness. Its statement, published scarcely an hour after Kensington Palace’s, revealed that the Monarch, 75, required treatment for an enlarged prostate.’
But Catherine is not in a comparable position, writes Eden. ‘If chooses to give more details later, that’s up to her,’ he concludes. ‘But, as she convalesces with the support of her family, she should feel under no pressure to tell us more. And she certainly shouldn’t give in to the online bullies.’
“She is not our head of state, or even married to one.” In fact, when Britain’s previous head of state was apparently dealing with pain and severely limited mobility because of bone marrow cancer, no public disclosures were made. When the previous head of state’s spouse was also dealing with some kind of very serious infirmity – possibly cancer – once again, no public disclosures were made. Kate is merely doing what QEII and Prince Philip did: treating every serious medical issue like it’s a dreadful secret which must never be spoken of. So in that sense, King Charles is the outlier here, with his “grist for the mill” prostate disclosure.
In any case, I agree that no one should “force” Kate to say anything. It is up to her, like Eden says. If she never wants to address it, so be it. As I said last week, I get the feeling that many of these royal reporters already know what’s going on and they’re just waiting for someone else to break the story (much like the “royal racist” issue). Given the way the press has reacted, I am reassured that she’s going to be OK and hope that’s the case. Sources have already let it be known that Charles disclosed his situation because he didn’t want to cause any worry or have people spin wild worst-case-scenario conspiracies. I do think that’s a pointed message from Buckingham Palace to Kensington Palace.

It’s a shame that Meg was never afforded this right to privacy. They are the ones who let it be known she had abdominal surgery and that she would be out for months. That was their mistake they should have gone with she had a procedure and then just shut up because she doesn’t do many outings to begin with. We would have assumed she was doing her usual nothing and vacationing. So now the gossip is huge.
Being bruised and battered by your husband is one reason not to disclose much to the public. How long does it take for bruising on the face to completely go away?
The theories about what happened and what surgery if any she had that are going around are hilarious.. I’m sorry but all of a sudden everyone is a specialist and broke out their Tabers. They won’t say anything WanK seem extremely paranoid on anything being made public 🤨 which is a huge issue imo for people on the public purse. Hope she is recovering well from her mysterious illness, injury or whatever caused the medical intervention.
Of course she should shut up, she cant really say what incandescent eggplant prince william did. This is not about protecting kkkhate’s privacy, it’s about protecting william and what he probably did to cause this… anyway. Why would they be so transparent on the kingz giant prostate and hide this if not to protect the heir. They are not really known for protecting the married-ins, we all know that
If Eden hadn’t mentioned it, most of us would have forgotten about Kate being in hospital.
This. I don’t even think people would have noticed if they never told us at all. They could have easily just had Pegs go alone to Italy with a ‘Kkkeen is under the weather and won’t join her husband’ or just cancelled her all together with no explanation like they did with his Singapore trip.
And that should be the bigger worry – no one notices or cares that she’s vanished.
Exactly. No one cares . Or wants to know . They can all go to hell in a handbasket. starting with nasty Kate. What did they expect . Flowers and teddy bears , gnashing of teeth and weeping in the streets ?For that creepy one dimensional female ?? Give us a break.
Khate and W are missing most of the time. 19 weeks minimum holidays every year and Khate posing for photos of herself at every opportunity trying to make herself the centre of attention, no matter what the occasion. A blank person with no impact, boring personality, mumbling speech, a very tangible lack of interest in anyone else, except to copy their clothes. What does she actually do that would make people notice she wasnt around ? If they had not publicised her having a “medical condition” no one would have noticed anything. Rarely present except to flaunt new clothes she has spent thousands of pounds on, which never seem to look memorable except for her lack of taste.. A very boring person who focusses only on herself is not memorable for good reasons.
It’s striking that the people who care the most are the people indignant that Meghan never got any considerations whatsoever. Kitty doesn’t have any fans, or supporters. It would be sad, if she wasn’t such a terrible human being.
they are missing a trick here, what ever ails her can be spun to her advantage, which could launch her solo career where she becomes a spokes person. like at one point fergie was the face of weight watchers. Harry turned being a soldier into an advocate for injured soldiers.
right now people are curious it dosent mean they care really
Sarah was deeply in debt when she got.work after the divorce. Kate will probably get a good settlement in the event of divorce and remarry. Probably to a wealthy man.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the (secret) divorce settlement included a reliable wealthy Tory as a second husband for Kate.
And lose her duchess title? No, I don’t think she would remarry.
Moondust hit the nail squarely on the head. Not only would she lose the Duchess title, but she would also lose the HRH, which is the more significant title. But more than that, what people like Tessa just don’t get, is that Kate did not marry William for a house and money. If that was all it was about for her, she could have done what her sister did and married any run of the mill rich man. She wants to be queen. And anything short of that would be devastating for Kate (and her mother). Not only that, after seeing how the family reacted to a rivalry with Di post divorce, why to you think that Kate could survive that? She doesn’t even have Diana’s popularity to fall back on.
The press reaction means nothing. They acted totally normal when Elizabeth was dying of cancer. In fact it’s their reaction that assures me that something is wrong
Hit dogs holler. i agree. They are doing a miserable job of “Nothing to see here, folks.” And I think they know what’s up, and this is their way of pushing someone, anyone to spill the beans.
Some of these people have likely been stunned by the lack of reverence and sympathy that was given when Kp announced Kate’s surgery. But they’ve been modeling what a lack of empathy looks like for years now so they shouldn’t be surprised. And yeah they actually do want to spill what’s happening but how dare the public speculate.
They definitely know what’s up. Otherwise Eden and the other rota rats would’ve been ranting endlessly about how the plebs have a right to know. They would’ve had long tirades about her being a public person, living on the taxpayers dime, future queen consort etc.
“But they’ve been modeling what a lack of empathy looks like for years now so they shouldn’t be surprised.”
@Jais – pointed and accurate. Well-stated.
The RRS definitely know what is going on – we can tell bc they’re not angry, they’re playing ball with KP, they’re parroting the talking points, etc. When the royals hide things from the RRs they get very clearly angry. It’s okay to hide things from the public, or to lie to the public, but not the rota. That’s part of the deal in their minds.
So here they definitely know what’s going on – at least, more than what they’re telling us.
Jais, you nailed it.
Kate’s not on the throne yet so she’s still entitled to privacy. If she wants to disclose her condition, that’s up to her. But my issue is that the press that is now respecting Kate’s privacy refused to respect Meghan’s.
I completely agree. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.
Refuse to respect Meghan’s, present tense. It never ends with them, they can’t take one day off from shitting on her.
I have to confess that I read a bunch of DM stories a couple of nights ago. The tabloids made a mistake with the writers’ pointedly blind overreaction at a few members of the public scoffing in comments sections at Kate’s health issues and William’s limited support. If the simple point that she should have privacy is made, without screeching about people who see through BS, and without implied comparisons to the Sussexes, it would sound credible. But at this point, the cat is out of the bag and the milk is spilled; the BM has hidden too much for Kate in the past, the stories don’t add up, and people are going to speculate.
This.
(edited to add – was meant as a reply to Amy Bee above and somehow ended up as a standalone comment)
The Wailses are receiving millions of £££ for doing a job, but actually doing their job is optional for them – see Bulliam taking several months of just because Mumblina McButtons, Duchess of Doolittle, is somehow incapacitated.
Any person working for a salary would have been fired years ago.
It’s more just that KP’s pr is constantly weird and amateurish. Transparent they are not. They come across as both inept while simultaneously manipulative, trying to get the best deal they can with the press. It’s a constant transaction. I’m more interested in watching this dance bw the press, the royals and the public as this all goes down. And it’s always interesting to see that it’s actually the wales couple who are fiercely protective of their privacy, despite their ties to the public purse.
It’s gotten to the point that Kate may have to reveal her medical situation. She’s married to the future head of state, a man accused of being the cause for her condition leading her to go to rehab. The causes are from emotional abuse, cheating and domestic violence. The RR bullying the Sussexes has damaged the BM’s credibility when reporting on the remaining royals. KP better get this under control before someone decides to hack the hospital’s database to get Kate’s medical records and dumps them on the internet. Then the story becomes it’s not the lie it’s the cover up.
There are a number of people who believe as you, however, I am not one of them. I truly think that KHate is a member of the wealthy club and they can stay in a private hospital as long they want and take as long as they want to recover. The rest of us don’t have that luxury.
I’ve thought that if she’s addicted to something that they would need to be dealing with that, too. It’s possible that Wont also might be dealing with addiction issues and that’s why he’s MIA.
KP communications brought all of this on themselves with the help of the bm. I think their biggest mistake was completely overestimating people’s interest for KHate. I believe they wanted sympathy from the masses. It evidently didn’t occur to them that her ‘supporters’ are really Meghan haters.
The bm and brf have been teaching the UK masses how to hate. How to throw out empathy. How to verbally castigate and abuse others. You reap what you sow.
Are people saying Kate should reveal her illness or are they weighing in with possibilities, along with a large dose of skepticism as KP hasn’t given honest health updates in the past. The only think KP is good at is portraying Windsors as victims.
The Times really came out and called for Kate to disclose her medical info? Since when? Maybe if KP hadn’t lumped vague abdominal surgery with a recovery time line more fitting for a mental health stay there wouldn’t be so much curiousity and sleuthing. It reeks of a cover up cooked up by a sheltered prince who has zero idea that no one stays in the hospital for two weeks anymore unless they are in the ICU hanging on by a thread.
Let me check my sympathy barometer….nope, still no sympathy.
🎻 actual size.
LOL!
What I’ve seen as comments or critiques on DM and twitter have been critical of how much time they’re “allowed” to take off when the rest of the world has to get right back to work immediately, and questioning why in the world William would get a months long pass.
Certainly, she doesn’t have to say anything. If in time she wants to draw attention to whatever condition it is, and help lose a possible stigma around it, fine. SamuelWhiskers on another post was brilliant about the royal family here in the UK. It would take one of four means to get rid of them: revolution; abdication; referendum; will of parliament. Possibly an assassination, how awful, but that can go under revolution. They aren’t going anywhere; there’s no way there’ll be a rexit. What these stories are showing, however, is that we shall never hear the end of this until she’s back in public eye. They want to be relevant. We have also learned that she’s no Diana. Nobody is pining for her. Britain has grown up. There is no longer the deference granted to the queen, much respected for taking the crown so young and when the BRF was far more of a weighted responsibility. And there’ll never be another Diana; she was a one off in beauty and figure of humanity. Diana also burned bright when we were more limited in celebrity; there are bucket loads of influencers and celebrities now. Charles can see not that the writing is on the wall, but that the writing is more critical. But he is caught by his character: he wants to be more socially conscious, working, and slimmed down, but equally he craves the cultural impact of monarchy in and of itself. There was a lot of talk about his not bothering with a coronation, particularly during the cost of living crisis, but he had to go ahead. Deep down he knows the BRF doesn’t have the star power or respect of old. They have to be seen to be working better and harder; it’s not enough to turn up and unveil a plaque. Kate would love the whole of the UK to talk about her as we do on here. She has her acolytes in the tabloids and broadsheets, and seemingly a lot in America, but she is much like the British weather – a lot of the time dull. If the future were just William alone, it would be tough for him, but people would rally around. It would be wobbly and he may collapse under the pressure but the BRF big or small is part of our life here. Whether we like them or not.
If it was really abdominal surgery why not say something. The entire story could be a massive attention seeking ploy. No respect or privacy has been given to other royals no matter where they are from or their titles, including H & M, QEII. We are all supposed to have the “vapours” and spend our lives worrying if Khate is ok. She has appeared to never show caring or concern about anyone else. She will never attain the status of Diana or Harry and Meghan, nor have the love and respect that people give to them. Empathy, kindness, caring and showing love towards others does not seem to exist in Khates personality, it is always only about her, the clothes she wears badly and her constantly posing for photos of herself. She might start to look younger, if she started learning how to be genuinely philanthropic, instead of doing nothing other than spending limitless amounts of time and money, trying to cosplay elegant and stylish women, never achieving or coming close to their style and presence.
Perfectly summed up . I go with ..there’s nothing wrong with the woman except a dented ego . And the fact that nobody is bothered must be killing her .
Iolanthe, I think that’s probably true. I still think that wealthy people at private hospitals (and in recovery at home) are treated very differently from the masses.
This is more about how KHate is not the jewel in the crown.
The way KP handled this just invited speculation. She’s having some vague surgery, she’ll be in the hospital for 2 weeks – of course that was going to get people talking. They could have just said she was having surgery, no one needed to specify how long she was going to be in the hospital. That’s the part that got people thinking, “something serious is going on here.” Honestly they could have waited to announce until she was already home and just said “the princess of wales recently had surgery due to a newly discovered health issue, she is now resting comfortably at home and hopes to resume public duties in a few weeks with her doctor’s approval.”
Instead we heard she was going to be in the hospital for 2 weeks, we heard she won’t be back to work until after Easter, MAYBE not until Trooping, we heard WILLIAM is taking months off – of course people are going to have questions.
yes, she’s entitled to medical privacy (although apparently Meghan was not), but there is the added layer here that she does receive taxpayer funding, as does her husband, and taking months off without any reason besides “surgery” – BOTH OF THEM – is going to raise eyebrows.
And its not “bullying” to point that out.
Exactly. It was announcing she would be off for months and that William would be too.
That is what set off speculation.
This exactly. They handled this so poorly and its why I think theres so much happening behind the scenes. This didn’t need to be a big deal at all.
Yes to all of these points, Becks! And honestly, would most people have noticed if Kate wasn’t seen until February?
If they hadn’t announced the Italian tour, it would be relatively easy! And even then, that travel wasn’t exactly set in stone – they could have made some excuse to delay.
I wonder if having incurred the wrath of the rota by covering up William’s COVID diagnosis, KP cannot afford to piss off their media allies again. What that theory doesn’t explain is why KP made any sort of announcement at all? Especially since the BM seem perfectly happy to lie to the public -they just don’t want to be lied to, I think.
And moreover an announcement by KP so poorly worded, slapdash, and also not coordinated with Charles? That speaks to me of an organization that is not just inept but potentially in chaos.
I wonder if instead of a war of BP vs KP, we are seeing a civil war of sorts, as divisions within KP start to show?
Jay, I just think that KP is REALLY bad with their communications. They wanted sympathy for KHate. Good luck with that.
The People cover doesn’t happen without KP providing approval so they are trying to suck and blow right now.
People isn’t some rogue tabloid. They would have killed any story if KP didn’t want it. Lee Thomson knows this.
More obfuscation. Maybe there are some people demanding personal health information that of course Kate should have not to disclose, but I think the vast majority of people are just reacting to KP’s own narrative – they dropped a hugely inflammatory statement saying Kate would be out for MONTHS, then update said statement to say actually it won’t be Easter it’ll be another month or two after that, Will is completely M.I.A. except for one admittedly staged photo shoot and the “school runs,” and there are zero other reports of anyone else visiting her or even the usual chintzy PR stories that would surround the main statement. So yea, people have questions because for years we’ve been breathlessly told how perfect and important Kate is to Britain and then she goes in for what they have made sound like an incredibly serious procedure with an unusually long recovery time and yet there’s been none of the fluff surrounding such an “important” person’s hospitalization, and that’s what seems weird. That’s why people have questions, because this story stinks to high heaven.
The British royals routinely treat health issues as shameful by shrouding them in secrecy and mystery. That’s why Charles’ openness is so unusual. If Kate wanted privacy, it would have been better to make no statement at all. As others have pointed out, she never would have been missed.
Not always, @Brassy Rebel – they were quite open about Sophie’s ectopic pregnancy and the traumatic birth of her daughter Louise over 20 years ago. And now Sophie herself has been sounding off about periods.
https://royalcentral.co.uk/royal-news/get-the-period-products-out-of-the-cupboard-sophies-strong-message-as-she-talks-menstrual-health-196786/
It’s a shame that Kate is entitled to privacy and Meghan is not . Also I don’t think Kate should be entitled to privacy when she is living off the public purse, again because Meghan wasn’t.
Get them, Kate doesn’t have to reveal her illness because she’s not married to the head of state but Meghan must reveal the moment she gives birth to her son, their godparents, etc. because, why? Did I miss something? Was Harry the head of state four years ago?
Kate doesn’t need Eden’s advice – she’s already ignoring the demands.
Either they’re unwilling to reveal anything for some weird reason or it’s just that she has something that they think is shameful. Either way she can’t possibly be too sick because they would try to gain sympathy otherwise.
Remember, this is the woman who was offended that Meghan mentioned baby brain. Any issue that makes her feel less rareified than the Queen of Heaven is going to be shameful to her.
Fine, she can stay private forever as far as I’m concerned. And her incandescent husband can do the same. If the UK taxpayers don’t mind, why should anyone else.
EDEN you are a fking hypocrite of the highest order. YOU were one of the biggest bullies of Megan and guess what, you still fking well are, so don’t you dare print shit like this. Tell you what, let’s have a column from you, telling Harry and Megan how terrible you think it is, that even though they left the UK 4 years ago, even though they don’t take a penny from this shitty toxic little island, the press keep BULLYING them every day and it has to stop. You might reclaim some self respect and people will stop thinking of you as a demented troll
All the Rats are a fking hypocrite of the highest order. When Meghan needed to keep her medical health private, what did those Rats told her? If you don’t like it you can leave over and over again. How nice for the English Rose to keep her mystery surgery private.
But Philip’s health was disclosed…. As a cudgel to beat Harry and Meghan with to not do the Oprah interview. The Queen’s “frailness” was also used in this regard, though no rota ever felt the need to mention Andrew.
This all feels like a bad culmination of a ton of pressure the past year or two — the bandaged fingers and spanxed-to-the-max figure look a lot like women I’ve known who’ve battled bulimia. It *can* damage your system in these ways. Or — did William, and his famous temper, lose control? They seem like two people who loathe one another, tied together because of history and position — in a family with a history of trying to drive outsider women to suicide. And something boiled over into an emergency trip to the hospital. I feel bad about it all at this point — like something really terrible and life-threatening went down and everyone should just give her some privacy.
I wonder if Kate being outed by Piers as one of the racists M&H referred to might have pushed her over the edge. That was quite recent, the end of November. I’m not convinced Kate’s one of the primary people H&M meant (no doubt she’s a racist, but I’m still thinking Will’s in there somewhere and it’s not like PM is above lying when required). But either way, IIRC the palaces left that accusation out there with no pushback, which would have been humiliating for Kate on several levels (especially given the extreme dislike she’s shown towards Meghan more than once). Whether it’s actually an ED or not, it’s been clear for a long time Kate has a problem, just as it’s been clear she and William have major issues. Add in the embarrassment of her family’s PP failure, and this last blow could have been enough to trigger a crisis (either mental health alone, or including a medical/surgical component).
It’s on KP that all this speculation is rife because of the stupidity with which they’ve handled the briefings. And given how Meghan was treated in a similar situation, it’s hard to be too upset over any lack of privacy for Kate. Hopefully, for the sake of her three young children, she’s receiving proper treatment and makes a full recovery, but there’s a lot of valid questions about things like, why Will isn’t visiting, why he can’t do his own work in the meantime, and the extreme privilege of the royals compared with ordinary citizens facing their own family crises.
I feel no sympathy for the Institution at all — they’re wretched and I’d love to see them all thrown out and the properties/jewels returned to the people, especially the colonies from which they were looted.
That said, there’s a human being in there somewhere, and this feels like someone might have really cracked in a life-threatening kind of way. I hope there’s help and some protection being offered.
I think all the obsession with the Royal Rota and whether or not they’re “working” is a kind of weird UK-specific smokescreen for the fact that they’re hereditary monarchs who don’t actually *have* to do fuckall. They’re not “earning” the tax money — they’ve never stopped taxing “their people” in the first place. It’s not like they’re actors who have been hired to play out roles — they’re very rich people at the top of a political system built on aristocracy, which is hierarchical, and extractive at it’s core.
Yeah, you kind of OWE the people who pay exorbitant taxes for your lifestyle an explanation for why you are out of action entirely (even more so than the day to Day MIA that is normal) for such a long period.
Not a fan of the left-behind Windsors. Still, if Kate is in the ‘hospital’ for nothing more serious than a refresher, i.e. plastic surgery on her face, oh well, her choice. If it is mental health or other medically necessary intervention, her privacy and I don’t care and don’t need to know.
It’s not online bullies! Even members of the Rota push the idea of going public with health issues. Chris ship wrote something like “how the royals (or ex royals) can raise awareness through sharing their own health issues “. Anyway, she’s entitled to privacy concerning health issues (although Meghan, apparently, was not). What’s really infuriating is the months going mia without working while they are paid by British taxpayers.
I wouldn’t say it’s “plastic surgery” because it truly might be not. If she stays longer because of her status – anyone would do the same. (I mean I wouldn’t like a longer stay at hospital because.. it’s not a nice place). I’m not aghast that normal people return to work earlier. All billionaires, royals have this luxury over us. So health is number 1 priority, not what I or another people write about it.
