Personally I’d prefer to be a person who “falls for this crap” rather than be one who finds it nauseating. Each to their own.

My daughter is having her second operation today for stage 4. This video was beautiful and perfectly timed as it says there’s light at the end of the tunnel. We need that bit of hope today. My daughter has received the most neglectful treatment on the NHS and as someone said it really is a post code lottery. But I don’t care if you are a Princess, rich or poor, cancer is shit, no matter who you are.
As a terminal cancer patient who received appalling care leading to delayed diagnosis, I wish Kate nothing but the best.
Let me tell you, if I had the opportunity to receive the best care in the world then damn right I would have taken it.
This is a young mother who has been through shit and forced to out her very personal medical problems to the world because of the disgusting conspiracy theories that were going around.
Fair enough if you didn't like the video but to say it's "insane" that people are happy she triumphed over cancer is disgusting.
I found her message to be positive, real (because cancer and treatment is hard and changes our perspective on life) and comforting.
Sadly my outcome won't be as positive but I think it's wonderful that she's on the road to recovery.

Good f
Good for you but did you know you can have compassion for more than one thing or one person at a time?
---
It could just be her whole perspective on life has changed.
I know mine has.
I sometimes feel like I'm a completely different person since my diagnosis.

My mum has terminal cancer and it made me emotional not nauseous. I felt happy for her that her children will hopefully spend many more years with her. I would love to have that dream. People on this thread are constantly asking why she’s not said anything blah blah. Let them have a nice reel of family love - if that makes you feel sick then

I'm sorry but that video was just nauseating. Is Kate the first woman to have cancer? Why does she need all this fanfare to celebrate her finishing chemo, all paid for out of the public purse? All the PDAs too! How on earth do people fall for this crap?!

My daughter has had ‘shit care’ in comparison to a lot of other people who have used the NHS. I didn’t say I wasn’t angry, I am. I can’t be angry at Kate because my daughter’s doctor can’t get his act together and so many mistakes have been made. So many others have had excellent care from the NHS, as I say it’s a post code lottery. If you are a celebrity you get better treatment too, take Amy Dowden from Strictly. She’s been through hell and has thankfully come out the other side. Am I angry she was gifted holidays, wigs, trips, spas etc to make her feel better? Of course not. Kate would’ve had excellent private care whether she married William or not because her family is wealthy. Why should I be angry at that. If I had that kind of money I’d make sure my daughter was seen privately too. We do what we can for our children. I’m glad Kate’s recovering. We can’t play the comparison game it doesn’t help.
No she isn't, but she is the future queen of this country and a young woman with a young family. It's good for people to see there can be a happy ending after the big C. I'd rather enjoy it and wish her well than be so bitter that I ask whether she's the first person to have cancer.

My daughter would like a husband when she’s a lot older and I’m considering Prince George for her. I’m currently researching his future school and university, including his gap year. I will then direct my daughter in the same directions. George will of course choose her, they will marry and she will be the future Queen.
(This is how funny it sounds when people talk of Kate and Carole making it their goal)

Well, I know for a FACT (from an inner circle member of the royals) that Catherine was in a long term lesbian relationship with Katie Price and when William found out he was furious but had to admit that he had been seeing Peter Andre on the quiet. Katie lent Catherine and William lots of money to keep quiet which they have refused to give back - hence her bankruptcy. Katie offered Catherine a cut price Turkey makeover holiday including filler, lip treatments, boob job and BBL. Inadvertently her arse ballooned to the size of a Kardashian's so she had to stay out of the public eye so her PR people concocted the illness story. Peter gave a press statement saying 'no comment but I still love my kids'. The split between Catherine and Katie was very amicable and Katie still pops over once a week for tea and cake. William tolerates it for an easy life and so that he can continue his proclivities with over the hill talentless orange crooners.
I thought it was a really lovely video.
She was clearly sicker than they let on (fair enough I don't feel entitled to know her indepth medical info).
To me the video feels like, also since she's not been around, here is a snapshot of our life, thanks for the space.
Cancer is a cunt and it's nice to see her on the other side of it.

My theory - there was never cancer. Will was cheating. Kate stopped eating, was frightfully thin even for her before she disappeared from public eye. She wanted out. Cheating was her deal breaker. The Royals go into full crisis mode. Weeks and months of negotiations and damage control. Will puts his back up at her demands as princes and kings have always had discreet indescretions. Kate stays firm and won't stay in marriage unless therapy is had and faithfulness is restored. She's out of there if mistress(es) remain. The public disrupt the work being done with crazy theories about why Kate had disappeared. They obviously can't be truthful and reveal what's really going on - that the couple have separated due to Will cheating and Kate refusing to turn a blind eye as was expected of Royal wives before her and that they are in therapy to see if it can be repaired. So cancer story is concocted. Kate is seen without her engagement ring. She refuses to wear it. It reminds her of Charles' cheating and the mess with Diana and now her own mess with Will. She agrees to do a video, but will not wear engagement ring. Cancer story is bought into by public. Much work remains to be done to save marriage. Wills is drinking a lot and even does public engagements where he is visibly swaying and unsteady on his feet. Eventually the couple decide on their future together. A new start. The over the top video is released showcasing their love commitment and happy family. Also showing mistresses that Kate has won. Will is comitted to marriage and monarchy. Kate refuses to ever wear the engagement ring again. As far as she is concerned it is representative of toxic traits of royal life. She wears a new ring to symbolise their new start. It was a close one. Their divorce would have been the end of the monarchy. It was incredibly high stakes. Kate had a lot of power in the negotiations. Will was told to grow up and keep it in his pants. They were afforded all the time they needed. Lying to the public with some help from media was a necessary tool to protect the monarchy. Popularity is their lifeline. Let's see how long it lasts.
Because if they don't people with no compassion hound an ill woman into revealing intimate details about her health. I seem to remember many moaned at the beginning of the year that we have a right to know because "we pay for them". Damned if they do, damned if they don't it seems.
Cancer is a bastard of a thing and watching love ones fight or succumb to it is just awful. I'd happily sit through anyone's video if it tells me they are coming out the other side of that nightmare.

Regardless of whether you like her and William or not, surely the fact that she is now clear and that 3 young children still have their mother is a thing to be celebrated. As at least, that we know of, they won't have to go through what William did of losing his mother at a young age.

She is vague about her illness because she’s protecting her children. If she were to disclose which type and stage of cancer she has, the media and social media would be full of speculation about her chances of recurrence and survival.
She said that she needed to go outside and enjoy the sun (in response to another cancer patient who felt the same). She didn’t mean she was sunbathing. The fact that people can’t understand that distinction is beyond me.
Of course she keeps her distance and maintains a polished exterior—just look at this thread, where people comment on everything from her clothes to her appearance.
And don’t even get me started on those batshit crazy people who claim she didn’t have a serious illness. The fact that you’d even repeat that here is shocking. The world-renowned Royal Marsden cancer hospital confirmed in a press release—and a live TV interview—that she received cancer treatment with them.

Oh it will definitely get ripped apart.Lovely lovely video. Really made me well up. Lovely to see them all interacting with each other as a family. Louis tree climbing and the two boys running out of the sea. Charlotte seems really close to her mum in it too and didn't want to let go of her!
As others have said you can see she's been ill as her colour isn't quite right, but so pleased to hear she's doing well.
I know so many will rip it apart and say it's all acting and fake but I love it.
I loved that Mike and Carol also appear as well. She definitely comes from a loving family and wants to reciprocate that with her own family even though they have a royal life.

I think she has been very, very ill. I’m sure the haters will pile on to say it’s all a big conspiracy. One doesn’t realise how precious your good health is until it’s gone.

Apparently William and Kate have said they won’t be at the Easter service because they’ll be spending time with family.
Two things:
The family is usually at the Easter service
Not a good look for the next head of the church.
sorry but Diana’s boys are entitled spoiled brats and incredibly arrogant. Do a bit of work and earn your keep William. I’ve been more than happy to give him a pass due to his wife having had a terrible illness and a dreadful year but come on. They’ve only just come back from a skiing holiday. Entitled much.

So what? I am fundamentally opposed to the royal family as an institution so couldn’t care less about that. She is no better or more worthy a person than anyone else, yet she receives the best of everything, including the best cancer care, probably in the world. I think it’s self indulgent, producing this video. The announcement could have been made in a much less happy clappy self centred way. What annoys me most is that there are cancer patients who will be waiting for treatment, getting less good care than she did, and having to do everything else in their lives - work, look after kids. It seems insane to me that people are so overjoyed that she has ‘triumphed’ over cancer when she had it way easier than pretty much anyone else.
All of us who have cancer in the family would be more than happy with this kind of video, You never beat cancer- even if you are cured it always stays in the mind of family members. Glad for her and especially the kids. Speaking as someone whose mother had cancer in early childhood. She survived and is still very active at almost 80, but we never forgot how close to loosing her we had been.
i love your Royal family, but probably I do not count since I am not from UK.
