The Princess of Wales’ brave cancer announcement has finally put an end to months of dangerous swirling theories – could it mark a turning point for internet conspiracies? Katie Strick reports

So, there we have it: an answer that finally puts an end to the cruel internet frenzy that became known as Katespiracy. And a tragic one: Kate, the Princess of Wales, has not been abducted by aliens, selected to appear on The Masked Singer or whatever other outlandish, baseless or distasteful rumours various conspiracy theorists wanted us to believe over the two months since her last public appearance. She has cancer. She was diagnosed with it in February after her abdominal surgery, and is currently in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy.
“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” the future queen, 42, explained in a short personal message filmed in the gardens of Windsor Castle, released last night.
Dressed down on a park bench in a jumper and jeans, Kate shared several truths in the two-minute video: that her condition was discovered after she had major abdominal surgery in January; that she felt well and was “getting stronger every day”; and that she had kept it a secret until now for the sake of her children, George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five. "It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok,” she said in a brave and dignified speech that seemed almost deliberately unedited, pointedly raw.

"'A LESSON TO US ALL': HOW KATESPIRACY SOUNDED A POWERFUL WARNING SIREN ABOUT DANGEROUS ONLINE RUMOURS" , the warning being that arrogant disdain and blatant dishonesty on the part of the rich and powerful foster conspiracy theories.

Just to add, I am sick and tired of our country being milked by these people. Time for a republic then send them off to work like everyone else. And that means strip them of all the money they have milked us of for the last 1000 years.

Completely ignoring facts and reality. Royal apologists are the epitome of hypocrisy. It was concerned,loyal well wishers who were asking for information, but none was forthcoming. i.e. loyal, caring subjects were treated with arrogant disdain. Then the RF pushed blatant lies, rather than the truth, until they came clean. Cancer isn't nice but 1,000 are diagnosed every day, yes 1,000, so it's common.
These grovellers should bear in mind that in 1992 Elizabeth II acknowledged in a speech to the City of London’s Guildhall that “no institution – City, monarchy, whatever – should expect to be free from the scrutiny of those who give it their loyalty”.

I cannot help but think if she was anyone else that preventative chemo would be wait until it's too late then maybe we might help you. This is not the story the right wing palace press want us to believe it is, rather its another slap in the face to ordinary people who pay tax so these entitled misfits can live beyond even a billionaires ability.
