Now that she has released her gracious and thoughtful statement (a bit of a shock but hoping she is really okay) I hope the media leaves her and the family alone.
They are such vultures.

Princess Catherine is the very definition of class. I have nothing but the very best wishes for her and her family.

This doesn't surprised me. I saw it with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, such as the speculation that they will soon get a divorce.

It was only a matter of time before the media and conspiracy theorists switched to Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Hopefully she responds well to the treatment and makes a strong recovery.

Catherine, The Princess of Wales

Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge

The Princess of Wales

or even, Katherine Middleton.

There is no such person as "Princess Catherine" same as there wasn't a "Princess Diana" either.

Sorry, but I think this is a very minor point as compared to the major news and my reaction to it. However, I will try to do better in the future regarding any reference to her.

Also, this might be petty, but her name is spelled Catherine, not Katherine. Maybe you should check yourself before correcting others?

However, I am going to do my best to refrain from any further petty quibbling or squabbling about this.

Is there a “Katherine Middleton”?

I thought not.

We get it.

Nonetheless, the colloquial usage is perfectly acceptable for casual conversation, especially in an obscure U.S.-based forum.

Not the time for these corrections. Let this all sink in first please.

Not sharing every intimate detail of your personal life is not being dishonest. Nobody should ever feel pressured to share that kind of info just because others think they have a right to know, not even the royals.
On a more personal level if people were badgering me about the state of my health I'd tell them to go pound sound, and I bet many of you here would do the same.
