Princess of Wales has cancer

I am afraid you cant control that. It's just not possible. I think the royal family is completely unsuited to a modern rolling news, social media society.

It's a devistating diagnosis for anyone to be told they have cancer.
I hope the hounding stops and the family is left alone at this stressful time.
I was sad when I watched the news. What a shock it must have been after major surgery. I hope the Princess of Wales makes a full recovery.

Absolutely agree Callistemon
The endless prurient speculation is in such sharp contrast to the dignified statement from the Princess of Wales. It has affected me in a very strange way this evening as my own daughter of a similar age has just finished a punishing course of chemotherapy for an aggressive cancer. Her prognosis is guardedly optimistic but life will never be quite the same again.

Calipso I wish your daughter well and a full recovery.

Calipso - thinking of you and your daughter - hope she makes a full recovery

Calipso wishing your daughter a full recovery💐

I wish your daughter the very best, Calipso.

The feeding frenzy in the press and on social media has been disgusting and I hope people will now leave her and her family alone.

It was very brave of her to make that statement and in such a calm and dignified manner, but she really shouldn’t have had to.

Calipso🙏💐

I have just been diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer, it has been there for some time undiscovered .It caused me to have a near fatal pulmonary embolism 18 months ago.I have been on blood thinning tablets since then but it was on a recent blood test when suspicious results show up.
I had a bone marrow biopsy a week ago now waiting for results before any treatment can start.
I know how she feels especially about telling her ffamily.I am twice her age but still it has been hard or my now grown up children and grandchildren.I feel my great grandchildren are too young yet.
I am no lover of the royal family, but now I know we are all human beings and they have two members with cancer.It is no respecter of class.
I am in this with you Kate.I was luckier than you, I am much older, you had your whole lie ahead of you and now this.

Calipso I understand your feelings as my dd too was in a similar situation. The aggressive diagnosis was chilling and the lengthy chemo was hard to bear.
Wishing your daughter well and hope having completed her chemo she gets through this, back to good health.

Just wishing that brave women all the very best during her treatment. She is fortunate to have supportive parents, and in law parents and especially William.

So very shocked to see this pop up on my newsfeed just before 6pm. I wish all the family the very best for the future. I just hope the press will just leave them alone now.

Thinking of everyone going through a difficult time

I was so shocked and sad at this news. I wish her well with all my heart.
The royal family are certainly going through a lot lately. Here's hoping that she, and the King, make good recoveries.

Thankyou Henetha you said exactly what I was thinking. She’s the same age as my daughter …

Thank you everyone for your kindness and understanding. Tonight has been one of those times when you hold everything together for so long and then something comes along and trips your fuse. The anger I feel at all the media intrusion and speculation is, in part a head of steam of my own personal rage at what the illness and the treatment takes away.

Calipso I wish your daughter well and a full recovery.

Me too.

What very sad news. I wish her a speedy recovery.

Calipso very best wishes for your daughter's recovery from the chemo and a clean bill of health.

Sending you and your daughter good wishes Calipso and to all going through this horrible disease, including my own husband, thankfully in remission (so far).

"You are not alone"
Brave words from a courageous and caring young woman thinking of all those in her situation.
I am reminded of Queen Elizabeth's message to the country during Covid "We will meet again".

Sad news - we have only just heard over here. Just hope she has a speedy and complete recovery and that the press leave her to recover in peace. Hope all goes well with your daughter Calipso

Sending my best wishes for you and your daughter Calipso.

Calipso. I wish your daughter the very best.
