yeah, nobody gives a #### about them these days. Then again, we haven't been a monarchy in over 100 years, so hardly surprising.

And frankly, I'm sick of the Royalty.

Come on, if the woman has cancer, yeah, she probably doesnt want to be paraded around in front of every asshat with a camera.

Whatever happened to a little common decency?

"She has cancer. Please respect her privacy and leave her alone."

If I had Cancer I wouldnt want every Paparazzi in England and Western Europe trying to snap photos of me post-chemo either.

British media can't spell "decent", so there's your answer. Those people are the absolute worst and I'm convinced they will not shy away from anything.

We're with you Kate, may you show the same dignity and determination our King has shown

King Charles is that you?

Poe's Law?

This is satire, right?

It's pretty gross...they could've just come clean and said she had some health issues and asked for privacy. I think that they whole thing goes away at that point.

Jesus some of you are sick.

It’s just as likely she was the one who did it, considering AI makes it pretty easy for amateur photoshoppers to do something like combine multiple photos so that each of your multiple children look their best. And hey, she probably had some time to do it, considering she was recovering from SURGERY and prepping for CHEMO and didn’t have a schedule full of activities.

“Come clean”… about her health issues? It’s her business. Blaming Kate or the people probably acting on her wishes for people making up conspiracy theories because she didn’t want to go public with her health issues is such an insane thing to do.

People always rag on the online habits of gen z but I honestly think older generations can be far more toxic and harmful with the way they use the internet.

Nah, this is the monarchy and that entire organization. It's got nothing to do with her. She had to release the video today because of their ineptitude.

You’re just taking away her agency and taking the blame off of a public whose brains are so broken that everything is some kind of conspiracy for them to figure out.

Someone asked me what I thought, and beyond “I don’t care” my response was that she had just had surgery and probably wanted privacy. There’s really nothing the “organization” had to give me, because I never had some bizarre need to crack the case in the first place. So suggesting they were inept because they didn’t fully satiate unreasonable desires for answers is just excusing the actual problem with people and celebrities in general.

Well, first I don't care about the monarchy and can't say I followed this at all. And I think that most rational people thought that she had surgery and left it at that. Unfortunately, you're not dealing with rational people who get all worked up about the royals. Part of that position is that you have no expectation of privacy, and that has nothing do with how people use the internet.

I don't particularly care that she released a mothers day photo in the first place, let alone that people dissect it and look for evidence it was shopped. The royal family does though.

These sentiments are becoming such a common refrain from some people. Is this a defence mechanism or something?

Defence for what? I just think a lot of people aren’t terribly interested in the monarchy.

A defence when you’re arguing a point, but can’t, so make a decide to proclaim that you were never that invested anyway.

I see what you mean. Well, maybe you’re calling me out? I don’t particularly care about the royals though and I find it strange that people do. To me, they’re about the same as the Kardashians or similar celebrities.

The lack of respect some of you are showing our future Queen is utterly repulsive.

Queen consort, not an actual queen.

As a fellow human being who isn't evil, I hope she has a full recovery. Unrelated, I also hope that Canada leaves the monarchy in my lifetime.

This is sarcasm right? You are offended on behalf of a princess?

[PepsiFree]

I too hold on to the hope that a different person goes on our money in my lifetime.

When. When will we be free (to design money).

I think we should stop putting people on money (and naming schools, and things after them).

Yes. Our next figure on our currency should be a Shiba Inu.
