Before Kate Middleton decided to open up about her health condition and disclosed her cancer diagnosis with the world, both she and the Palace found themselves in the middle of rumors and plenty of conspiracy theories, some more bizarre than others.
Besides that, the Princess of Wales decided to remain silent until she felt it was the right time to address the public and the media. Some claim that she chose the exact date and timing for releasing the video in which she spoke of her cancer because at that time her children’s school had already closed so they wouldn’t have to face comments and questions by their schoolmates right away.
Speaking to GB News, author Alexander Larman argued that the conspiracies surrounding Kate Middleton showed that the world is “obsessed with the health of the royal family,” and “look to them so set an example.”
Additionally, Larman said, “The trolls have carried on to this day. But one thing that’s very interesting is if you look at the difference between the responses. Buckingham Palace came forward very quickly and gave a fairly candid idea of what’s happening with Charles with his illness, and Kensington Palace didn’t.”
He continued: “I think that’s because Prince William is much more into the vein of never complain, never explain, which was his great grandfather’s motto, and has always served the Royal Family well.
“But it doesn’t hold up in 2024 because you’ve got to allow the idea the information is going to get out into the public, whether you like it or not.”
Since Kate shared her diagnosis, she and her family spent plenty of time at Anmer Hall at Sandringham, including the three weeks of school break the children had.
On April 23, Prince Louis celebrated his sixth birthday, and his parents shared an adorable photo of him for the happy occasion.
Throughout the years, it was Kate who usually took the photos of her children, but since the incident involving the Mother’s Day photo when she shared an image that she had previously edited, many believed she won’t be taking Louis’s photo this year, but the princess kept tradition alive.
