The lack of updates about the Princess of Wales has caused a firestorm of rumours and outlandish misinformation.
WATCH: Royal expert Patricia Treble stops by for a lively royal roundup to kick off the week! She discusses plans for Brian Mulroney's state funeral and if a royal family member will attend. She also chats about Queen Camilla's upcoming holiday plans, the truth behind the wild speculation about Kate's health and the good news surrounding Sarah Ferguson's health journey.
The statement also noted that Middleton preferred that her “personal medical information” remain private and didn’t specify the type of surgery., and would cancel and back out of official duties until after Easter, rumours about Middleton’s health began to pick up steam in early February, when she was not seen or heard from in about a month.
Royal watchers were shocked, as William was expected to give a reading during the memorial service and the vague, tight-lipped nature of the announcement didn’t exactly do anything to curb the gossip mill. Having as much info about “the Royals” as anyone else…my guess is Kate Middleton needed surgery for Crohn’s disease. Maybe even a temporary colostomy? The fact that everything was kept secret is testimony to how much senior Royals collaborate with the press.
The Palace did not share many details of Middleton’s surgery and, until this week, there were no signs of her, so the doors to speculation and rumour were flung wide open. Contrasted with the relatively forthcoming updates about Charles’ health, it’s clear to see why the public became increasingly concerned about the Princess and confused as to why there weren’t more details to be shared.
