I think avoiding providing the specific diagnosis makes it less likely to have the media and public speculating on life expectancy or survival odds. As with your comment, it appears to be one of the first things people go to when working within speculative diagnoses, so imagine how common it would be if they confirmed it.What do people think the reasons for Charles not giving the specific cancer other than saying it's not prostate?
I think that's to say it's at least something quite bad as prostate would be the 'best' one to get (obviously better not to get anything). If it's bladder he's got a 50% chance of living for over 5 years, and if it's pancreas he's got a 6% chance of living for over 5 years.
I think they're waiting for Kate to recover and waiting to see how he reacts to treatment because even if he lives for 5+ years it might not be a good quality of life and could be in no state to be head of state.
I think it's purely because all we'd have if he announced was speculation on how long he's going to live.What do people think the reasons for Charles not giving the specific cancer other than saying it's not prostate?

I've been wearing sunglasses on the school run this week. There was ice on my car yesterday, but the sun was still so bright at 8 am that I had to wear sunglasses.Ok so, if Kates had abdominal surgery all straightforward then why the need for uncle Gary to go into CBB, when apparently before they couldn’t stand him talking to the press. And then on the same day papped suspiciously set up? Picture emerges to TMZ an American site of “Kate” wearing sunglasses, I don’t remember wearing them a lot on a cold March morning. Are the eyes hidden because that’s not her or to hide her emotions.
Why hasn’t the UK media used the photos from TMZ. There is an article on DM about it but without the picture and comments OFF. Comments are usually OFF when there are reporting restrictions for “legal reasons” usually during court cases or trials.
There’s reporting restrictions or a gag/injunction on Kate by the royal family PR. I think it’s rubbish that the press are being nice. like restrictions were in place years ago on her leaked topless pictures published abroad but not allowed here.
As someone said the crown are being protected not Kate, the crown. Poor woman.
My other theory with the RF has been because of Andrews doings, Meghan and Harry were encouraged to make a lot of noise and distract negative press from him.

Snap (first time this year) and I’m in the South East of England.I wore sunglasses yesterday, the sun was quite blinding on the school runs here.
I think she looks slightly fuller in the face?I think she looks the same?! Recovering from whatever surgery she’s had/no makeup on.
Aye maybe she's just a clumsy mareShe has been in the public eye for twenty years and thirteen of those married. She has been seen with a plaster maybe around ten times. In other words 10 times in 13 years.
And many times those plasters are on her thumb. That's not the place for it.
People should stop spreading that BS.
I’ve been wearing plasters in similar areas on my fingers of late due to paper cuts etc and I’m very overweight so hopefully nobody at work is assuming I have an eating disorder!Aye maybe she's just a clumsy mare
You're living in a bubble if you think a lot of people aren't discussing itI think the UK press isn’t printing that image because she’s bloated from steroids (this fits abdominal surgery), and the vast majority of the country aren’t in on the “where is Kate?” Conspiracy.
It’s easy to forget that online we live in echo chambers. I only know that where’s Kate is even a thing because of this forum. I don’t know anyone else who knows this is even a thing to be honest.
For the average Joe, I think there would be a fair amount of “what the fuck are you doing?” If they printed pap shots of her looking a bit shite after major surgery when they’ve asked for privacy. The UK press is a bit more conscious of these things after Diana died. And there was also a major public backlash with the Nicola Bulley case where people online got a bit frantic with conspiracy theories… I don’t think they’ve been told not to say or print anything, I think they’re just giving it a wide birth because of the general public opinion that she should be allowed to be ill in peace.
Also, the people on Twitter speculating it’s not her because she doesn’t have the beauty spot seem to be forgetting there comparing a doctored image that’s had the grain removed, and that it’s been removed in that process…
Echo chambers aren’t just online, they’re in the real world too. We all live in them. Maybe mine is that no one gives a shit and believes that shes had surgery and that’s it, and maybe yours is that this is really interesting and where the hell is she?You're living in a bubble if you think a lot of people aren't discussing it
"Online" - everybody is online these days, it's not the early 00's. Even your parents get sent memes about this sort of thing.
It's really obviously her and, yes, she looks ill because she is ill.I dont think it's Kate in that photo. Not saying anything about conspiracies, it just doesn't look like her and the hair looks like a wig. If it is her she looks very ill, bloated and in that particular photo quite sad.
Do we really need to know when Kate is going to Waitrose? That seems way too intrusive to hunt a royal on their way to some mundane activity as it has no value in term of information to the public. It doesn't seem ethical. They are not some sort of zoo animals that need to be constantly pictured. I am glad we are not anymore in this era where celebs/royals were constantly followed.If like some suggest and the Royals have an agreement with the British press/media not to print pap pics, why not? I can understand not having pics of the kids printed in the papers etc but what's the issue with a pap pic of say Kate going to Waitrose?
