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.

Plus whether or not it benefits them directly is besides the point.

I see, so you don't think her going to Ghana benefited Britain, which is what I asked you about. Interesting that you claim that I'm acting in bad faith after saying that...

Again you are putting words in my mouth. And refuse to address the points that don't back up your point of view. All while moving the goal post of the original point.

Y'all do understand what eat the rich means, right?

Psssssht psssssht. Can you hear that? It's my can of SycophantBeGone.

I see, so now you've moved beyond hoping descendants of Queen Victoria and the people they marry get cancer and now hope that anyone above a certain income level gets cancer.

Which is weird, because just a few posts up you said you wouldn't want her kids to get cancer if they renounced the monarchy... even though they would still be rich.

And I'm the one arguing in bad faith?

Also, you said you were going to stop talking to me and you're still talking to me.

I thought they meant it when they said eat the rich. They were just memeing?

It would appear so. I'm not surprised tbh, but still disappointed.
