In 2020, the exit of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from royal duties created a rift in public opinion surrounding the Buckingham royals. From full-blown differences between the two sides to the change of monarchy, and from divisive disclosures to marring controversies, the debate has had them engulfed.
Amidst such a situation, Kate Middleton caused an uproar a few weeks down the line for her ‘photoshop’ debacle. However, the latest news revolving around her sounds even more concerning for her ardent fans and followers.
Soon after the edited photo controversy, news of the Princess of Wales battling cancer came to light. Yet, after a period of sympathy and personal space, an update has now ticked all the right boxes for many to worry about as a significant personal development indicates a serious state of affairs regarding her health.
Kate Middleton may not appear to the public anytime soon
On March 22, the working royal took to her social media pages and announced her being diagnosed with cancer. Additionally, she also broke the news of undergoing preventive chemotherapy and wished for the public’s understanding and privacy. In an update on the situation, the Daily Beast had its sources mention that Kate Middleton would likely “not appear in public for the rest of the year”. Moreover, the reports also stated that her current state would have her surrounded by her “birth family”.
The concerning news fueled curiosity about the Duchess of Cambridge’s health as well as her relationship with her husband. Thereafter, the sources also mentioned her parents, brother, and sister taking over the task of looking after her, probably marking a period of brief separation from the royal family. In turn, the royals may also resort to releasing another public video featuring her, providing a health update to the country.
Lots of people involved in planning need to know what all the principals are doing a long way in advance. I am told that Kate’s diary for this year is empty. There is nothing planned. She may not appear in public for the rest of the year.
In many ways, the shift of attention from the royal chambers to her birth family has many of her followers dumbfounded about her actual health as of now. While some worried about the worst, several also took a thoughtful yet optimistic approach.
Fans demand answers as they express their anguish
For long, Kate Middleton has stayed at the forefront of royal activities. Along with Prince William, she has championed several causes and made many speeches voicing important causes. Thus, it is no surprise that she boasts of a large number of fans and admirers who felt stunned at the news.
A majority of them took to social media to express their thoughts while questioning the actual reason behind such a move while simultaneously also asking the royal seat to release a proper statement from their end. Despite its alarming nature, several of those online wished Kate Middleton a quick recovery. Additionally, they also expressed their reservations and acknowledged the need for privacy for the Duchess of Cambridge.

I don't believe the palace. I don't trust them. I feel in my bones something has happened to her.

This is very concerning. And the attempted subterfuge has made it more worrisome.

There is so much that doesn't ring true with the whole affair. I can't be alone in thinking something nefarious has happened to her.

How bad can it be that no one has seen her? I’ve known many people go through cancer and they did not disappear from life.

I hope she is okay, but birth family sounds really weird.

Cancer is a long horrible journey. The treatments are brutal. People need to stop the harassment and speculation and let her fight the good fight Send her live and support and prayers instead of giving her grief It’s HER JOURNEY not Yours

My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Lord, please watch over their children.
