    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.
