Royal Family Supporters Send Well Wishes for Kate Middleton Following Cancer Diagnosis
Royal admirers were looking for a sharp change in tone when it comes to commentary about Middleton this weekend.
PR Fiasco
Kate Middleton just revealed she has cancer and is undergoing chemo, which makes the palace blaming the photo editing on her even weirder. Hopefully she gets better and hopefully their PR learns from this pic.twitter.com/pMv8lh3pio

After seeing Middleton's video and learning about her condition, fans felt sympathy not only for her condition but for all the external pressure she has been dealing with. That includes the speculation from pundits and the mixed signals concocted by palace PR professionals.

While Middleton is a global figure now, commenters remembered the small details that made them feel close to her – such as her enthusiasm for sports.

So bored of Kate Middleton conspiracies. I admit, I was taken in at first but the poor woman’s put out a video explaining private health details & people are saying it’s AI / the Royal Family are trying normalising cancer cause of the Covid vaccines. Absolute nutters! Get jobs! pic.twitter.com/W2zACMqWrZ

Commenters proclaimed that they would no longer entertain conspiracy theories about Middleton – even in jest – and they condemned those that are still sharing them online.
prevnextAuthenticity
the uk media now want to have some sort of reckoning now that it’s revealed that the palace was only hiding a cancer diagnosis and not something even more drastic. “online conspiracy theories” must be stopped, even when they are onto something real.

As the news about Middleton made its way through the information pipeline, many were concerned to see doubts about its authenticity continue. They noted that, by keeping the cancer diagnosis private, palace officials had made it easier to believe that they were hiding something at any given time.

Finally, the only "jokes" going over well this weekend were self-effacing ones about how quickly conspiracy theories about Middleton had spread and how people regretted them now.
