But seriously I have only respect for someone who took that job in the full knowledge of what it did to her MIL, and has handled it pretty damn well overall. Not bad for a non-inbred I mean, commoner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 I feel bad for her and her family but why not just come out and say it? Why the long silly kabuki theater and the fake pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 The British Royal Family are maintained as symbols. Appearances are a big part of what they do. On top of that, when you're going through something as personal as a serious illness, you typically want to maintain your privacy as much as possible. Even more so if you're one of the most scrutinized people in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I thought he was referring to Doc Democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Would he be a royalist or a colonial? Regardless I don't know how hairy Doc Democracy is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 From memory, Doc Democracy is Scottish…so could go either way. ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 A mad tinfoil hat thought that just zapped my brain worms -- is there any chance that both Kate and Charles' cancers have, perhaps, the same (environmental) source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Given what we have learned about cancers over the last four decades, that isn't as tinfoil hat as you think. That said, I think the timing is an awkward and tragic coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Time to check the palace for asbestos.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Asbestos would have caused lung cancer though and it doesn't sound like either of them have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I was considering radon, but that's also lung cancer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 "Abdominal" covers so many different things, there's very little information on which one can base speculations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it's none of our <bleep>ing business, either. Which you know, so please, don't take that personally. And not like that'll stop any of us.....oh, not about *speculating*. That's nothing. It's being nosy and wanting more facts. I think none of us...at most, a handful of us...understands the destructive invasiveness of being seriously, broadly famous...

Lord Liaden Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Thank you. Too many people seem to believe that being a public figure means the public are entitled to every detail of their personal life. I may not fully understand the fishbowl the British royal family are in, but I do appreciate what it would be like if I never had anonymity anywhere. I remember what the late great actor Paul Newman once said: "The only thing I owe my audience is a good performance." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
