Catherine, Princess of Wales, Has Cancer
nytimes.com
Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been diagnosed with cancer and has begun chemotherapy, she announced in a video message on Friday, in which she described the past two months as “incredibly tough for our entire family.”
It comes after a period of intense uncertainty about the health of Catherine, who underwent abdominal surgery in January and largely disappeared from public view as she tried to recuperate.
Like the king, Catherine, 42, did not specify what kind of cancer she has, but asked the public and news media to respect her desire for privacy.

It doesn't matter what people think, this is how monarchy works. And sure she married into it, so did Marie-Antoinette, and her kids will inherit it, so that point is moot.
I see. So it's okay to be happy about her cancer because her kids inherit a figurehead position with no actual power due to who she married.
Don't worry, I wish it on her kids (when they grow up) too!
And no, it's not true that the British Crown has no real power. They fair regularly influence legislation directly, and foreign policy in more indirect manners.
Because they chose to be born?
Because they choose not to renounce to their inherited powers, sure.
Sorry... you know somehow that they won't do this and so because of that, you wish cancer on them?
And even if they don't do that... what exactly would they have done in their lives that would justify a horrible, slow, agonizing death?
We don't do that to multiple-murderers in most countries.
Not worth arguing with them honestly. Either a troll or some serious mental issues.
I said when they grown up.
And I agree, the guillotine is faster and more humane.
Again- what would they do to deserve a guillotine? They would not be absolute monarchs. The power invested in the British crown is negligible.
So what in specific would they do to be worthy of execution or cancer besides be part of an archaic system with no power attached to it?
It's like you don't even understand what the point of the French Revolution was.
They literally amend laws on a whim and dictate foreign policy. I wouldn't call that negligible, no.
You keep saying the crown has no power, this is patently false.

Not to mention that symbolism matters.
Did you actually read that second article? If so, can you tell me why what happened in Ghana was a bad thing?
Does something bad have to happen to acknowledge influence?
I would think that if you were arguing for why every single descendant of Queen Victoria and their spouses deserve a horrible agonizing death, you would use examples that didn't show them doing things that were a net benefit.
I’m not gonna sit here and defend the tankies in hexbear but I find sh.itjust works and kbin to have just as many shitty extremists like that piece of shit with no empathy. They never get called out like the others but I have blocked far more accounts from those two feds.
Well I did give you two more articles to read that clearly demonstrate it but you simply chose to ignore them. Plus whether or not it benefits them directly is besides the point.
It's up to y'all to prove that these leeches are a net positive to society at large.
Nevermind the strawman that I want them to have agonizing death. I clearly stated that the guillotine would be preferable. Fast and efficient.
You can go now, it's already asking a lot to interact with bootlickers, but I won't tolerate people who act in bad faith. Bye! 👋
