With the focus on politics we tend to forget that there are human beings behind the role.
Cancer is shit, and I hope she gets through it well. I don’t say that as someone with Anarchism tattoos (I have two), I say it as a human being. Like goddamn guys.
Totally with you. I’d do away with the monarchy in a heartbeat if I could…but I’ll never cheer on someone going through a rough time in this way. Hope he makes a full recovery, same with Princess Katherine.
I think she should get NHS treatment. I’m quite sure she’ll be getting cutting-edge private treatment partly paid for by my taxes thay are gifted to her for marrying the right guy.
The family are independently wealthy and most of the money from the Sovereign Grant goes on official business. Indeed, for the last couple of years- IIRC - expenditure has exceeded the grant. I think it’s pretty unlikely that much of your money is going on any private chemo.
If you had said antdemocratic, classist, unrepresentative or elitist, you would have a strong position. Going with ‘benefit scroungers’ just makes you look silly.
Having just been through a prostate scare with the NHS, I’m not - particularly.
Contacted the GP and was booked for blood test within 3 days. Saw the GP post-results for an examination 4 days later, was at the hospital for a CT scan 3 days after fhat. Follow-up conversation with the consultant 2 days later.
Luckily, I got the all clear - but if someone has an obstructive abdominal condition they are going to be in surgery pretty quickly and as a matter of course, the removed tissue will have a biopsy. Being put on chemo within a month absolutely doesn’t surprise me. The NHS is under severe stress but when the shit hits the fan, it usually comes through.
I don't know, I just don't think she's comfortable with fighting this battle in public. Considering how wild some conspiracy theories were getting, this info was probably just released to shut people up.
The news article/statement I read has it related to major abdominal surgery from back in January. So none of the good kinds. Not that any cancer is good.
In the video she says that she underwent abdominal surgery and at the time they thought it wasn’t cancerous, but subsequent tests showed that it was. And they she was recommended to have preventative chemo.
Sounds to me like they removed an abdominal tumour, it was probably successfully removed, and now she’s getting chemo just in case there’s any spreading or any they missed.
Didn’t expect that. Hopefully she’ll beat it! Can’t imagine trying to reconcile that you’ve got cancer and then the public are making up conspiracy theories about you and your husband.
William has basically just found out his dad and wife both have cancer, that’s got to be tough.
I wonder if they’d even announced it had it not been for the media frenzy over the last month or so. Can’t imagine trying to shield your children from this.
I'd think they'd maybe mention at some point but probably later and definitely not on video. The video was solely because of the nonsense that happened over the photo.
Using a car accident to defend a family that sits on a 10 billion dollar gold throne and tells the public to tighten their belt during these hard times
I can’t imagine the sad things that needed to happen in your life to make you defend the British Royal Family on Lemmy in 2024. If you need to be a boot licker than at least suck Elon Musk off instead, still embarrassing but at least you’d have evolved past the 16th Century.
