The British Monarchy

I agree with much of what you have both said. But it doesn't contradict the fact that it was all mishandled. Whether/when the public should be told is separate from how things were handled once the media and the public began down the road they went. And I am not sure any reasonable observer would say it was handled well, to put it nicely.

The discussion of whether there should be an expectation of disclosure of personal health events from the future Queen Consort (very much up for debate, and I think both sides have valid points) and the discussion of how the media and public reaction to her absence from duties and public presence was managed by the RF/RH have overlap, but they are not the same.

Ultimately, any rightminded person, royalist or not, wishes a full and speedy recovery for her. But it is also just as reasonable to want those that made the situation far more difficult for her, William, and their children to be held to account. That includes the gutter press, the contemptable conspiracy theorists, and the utterly incompetent advisers that oversaw the shambolic handling of the media and public reaction.

That’s your opinion; I don’t agree with you about a shambolic handling of the situation and I think you’re underplaying the difficulty that anyone would face in dealing with what was effectively a baying mob.

In fact you only have to look at the behaviour of numerous posters on here - and the wankers know who they are - to witness how desperate they were for certain obviously false rumours and innuendos to be proved true.

When people simply won’t accept that a person is ill and wishes to have a degree of privacy around their illness, then it’s extremely difficult to manage the situation.

I very much acknowledge the extreme difficulty of the situation. But just because something is difficult doesn't mean poor handling should be waived away. And, again, whether she should have been expected to disclose personal health events and whether the situation was handled correctly are two different--if related--debates.

But I see that my views on the matter are in the minority on here, and I certainly don't want to catch heaps of abuse for simply wanting accountability for those that made the situation worse than it already was, so I will stop posting in here entirely.

As I said before, I wish her a full and speedy recovery with complete and sustained remission.
