I wonder why the secrecy over the type of cancer? One of the common roles of royalty is to be advocates for different causes. I would think raising awareness of a particular type of cancer would be right in line with that.
Yes when it is someone else who has the illness they want to talk about it and raise awareness. When it's them, then it's no one's business. Two high profile royals sick with this possibly fatal disease but no one is to know more than that. That just triggers more speculation, if this is "bad" or not that bad, and a lot of guessing what type of cancer it is.
Yeah, so what. My nephew just died of cancer. A good friend of mine has been diagnosed with cancer. I have numerous friends that have had prostrate cancer. Why is this woman born with silver spoo in mouth more important than millions of cancer patients?
Because she is not a common woman. She is a political and sacral figure. There's thing called royal blood line and she's continuour of one of them. She's, basically a symbol, VERY important to certain people, along with her son. Just watch, how it will develop.

I am sorry for your loss, and for your friends' illnesses. But to this post, I also could say "Yeah, so what" - but I won't. I, along with many other mature adults, am capable of displaying empathy toward someone we don't know personally. My husband died of pancreatic cancer; that does not mean I cannot be concerned for Princess Catherine, or any other person with a cancer diagnosis.
And who said she's more important than anyone else? She's a public figure; her life will always be a topic of discussion.

I don't feel any more empathy for her than anybody else who has cancer. But in order to feel specific empathy for a person... It requires me to at least know that the person exists.
I didn't feel empathy for your husband. Nor did I feel empathy for Green Valley's nephew. But I would had have if I had known about them.

This needs to be removed and put in the gossip forum.

Who said was more important? She’s a Royal and her following is concerned. Just as some Americans concern themselves with our politicians.

thank you.
Like I had posted elsewhere, while I feel sorry for her as a young mother, she is not the only young mother, there are perhaps hundreds, I feel sorry for them also.
she is called "royal" because that's a title someone gave her, other than that she is flesh and blood just like the rest of us, no different, just titled different.
She should use her platform to help other's with this cancer.
