    Best of luck to her.

    And how idiotic the frenzy over a photoshopped picture where a sleeve was changed…JFC. Focus on important stuff.

    Now can the press leave the woman alone?

    Gawd, just saw a Cate timeline on CNN, so I guess the answer 8s no.

      It broke the rules the image publishers set, was issued a kill notice (pull) and no one knew the extent to which it was edited. The lack of communication after drove speculation.

      Regardless, fuck the monarchy, the amount of attention they all get is ridiculous

      On the other hand, how dumb do you have to be to photoshop a picture and release it like that? That’s just asking for the frenzy.

      If you want a private life you pull a Harry and Meghan and tell everyone to get lost. But she has chosen her path and her health is a matter of state. So no, she is not entitled to privacy on the matter.

          Sure! That’s the great thing about being a private citizen. You can live your life, go on shows, go on private vacations etc. Because it’s your life and you can choose how to live it.

          If you are taking on a role of state leadership you don’t get to do those things.

          You have a privileged role with access to roles, and wealth, and information, but the trade off is that your life is not your own. Your health and relationships and connections are a matter of national interest. So you don’t get to slip off for a weekend without telling people where you’re going. And you don’t get to hide medical diagnoses and medical treatment.

      No, she must be having a zombie affair with Queen Elizabeth the first. I won’t be falling for your reasonable explanations!

    Sincerely, I wish her the best. I know it is common to jump in with hate-the-rich feelings here, but I don’t know of anything she has done that makes her deserve cancer. Cancer sucks. The flight is awful, and once it is done you don’t get to know if you are actually better for a long time. For the rest of your life you get to carry physical and emotional scars from the fight.

    I did this fight. I would wish it away from anyone except the most evil. I hope her treatment and recovery are as smooth as possible.

    wish her the best; nobody deserves cancer and hope treatment goes fantastically.

    but not looking forward to be lectured by a media that spent a year harassing meghan markle out of the country on how we should be giving her privacy during this time.

    I wish her the best. I lost my mom to cancer and watching it consume her was the worst.

    I keep forgetting that princesses are real and not just a thing parents call their kids or creepy guys use derogatorily to women at work. It’s kinda weird to think about a princess having cancer too, not very fantasy novel. I don’t know anything about her but that probably is enough reason to assume she doesn’t deserve it. If only we could give it to someone more deserving of such a condition, someone constantly in the news for bad shit, not naming any names…
