“Now the truth has been revealed, alongside a heartfelt plea from the Princess for privacy, perhaps it’s time to take a moment to reflect on what the hell just happened,” writes Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, who argues that the fixation with Kate’s whereabouts and wellbeing has misogyny at its heart.
Kate Middleton’s announcement that she has been diagnosed with cancer has led to some rather shamefaced apologies from those who engaged in spurious speculation after the Princess of Wales absented herself from public life following abdominal surgery. Even celebrities such as Blake Lively and Kim Kardashian have held their hands up and admitted that they got carried away.
Yet on the other side of the coin, the royals have never really encouraged us to view them as fully human. They may no longer bang on about the divine right of kings, but it remains the historical belief system that festers beneath what purports to be a glossy, modern institution.
