Kate Middleton’s Surgery Announcement Exposes Alarming Details and ‘Worrying’ Truths, Claims Royal Correspondent

January 17, 2024

An announcement that the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, had surgery that would keep her away from her duties to the crown for at least two months shocked royal watchers. However, one royal correspondent believes there is more to the story. They claim there are alarming details and “worrying truths” in Kensington Palace’s announcement. Daniela Elser, a royal correspondent for News.com.au, has concerns about the Kensington Palace announcement describing Kate Middleton’s current health condition. She believes the palace cannot “spin” or “reframe” the health concerns surrounding the Princess of Wales. “No matter how measured the tone of the press release put out by Kensington Palace, there is no way that they can spin this or reframe it to make it any less worrying,” she wrote. “In fact, the opposite is true with one particular line in the otherwise bland statement that casts today’s Kate news in an even more concerning light.” Elser referred to the third and final paragraph of the message: “The Princess of Wales wishes to apologize to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements.” She believes that while the palace statement claims her surgery was planned, it could not have been scheduled that far in advance if she already had “upcoming engagements” locked in. She continued, “I can’t think of another occasion in recent history when senior members of the royal family have wholly taken themselves off the board so suddenly and for such a lengthy period. All of this is perturbing.”

January 20, 2024

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, is speaking out after revealing she has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, her second cancer diagnosis within the past year. "Naturally another cancer diagnosis has been a shock but I'm in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support," Ferguson wrote in an Instagram post Monday , adding, "I am resting with family at home now, feeling blessed to have their love and support." Ferguson -- who was previously married to Prince Andrew and is the mother of their two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie -- was diagnosed last summer with breast cancer, for which she underwent a mastectomy. A spokesperson for the duchess said Sunday that Ferguson's dermatologist requested several moles be "removed and analyzed" at the same time she was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy. One of the moles that was removed was "identified as cancerous," according to the spokesperson.

I saw the doctor, and it's not the flu, nor covid, but I had all the possible symptoms that could be there: headache, stomach ... Suddenly, it made me very tired, and I'm having a hard time training and recovering … The start of the season went super well, I did great results in sprint and distance. Until then it was good, and after that I was tired in Ostersund. And then I got sick in Trondheim."
