so will has been beating a cancer patient? #rough

or cheating on

Cheating on your wife when sha has cancer, that's more Boris Johnson's thing.

I think Newt Gingrich did something similar

he not only cheated on her he left her

Brought her divorce papers in the hospital, IIRC.

RIP Kate. At least you won't get put on a 6 month waiting list for treatment like your lowborn subjects do. If I had any power they'd all be in gulags, getting executed one by one. The lucky ones put into forced labour and then as a treat when they are exhausted from breaking rocks, they'd have a 9 hour slide presentation on the theme of a different Crimes of Britain post every day for the rest of their miserable worthless lives.

and tbh US thread-tone policers, this news makes me about as sad as when that fucker who played Jock in Dallas apparently died trying to land a helicopter in a lake. Pfft.

not sure I can find a balance between "heart goes out to a young mum with cancer" and "this family need to be guillotined" but Tom D's suggestion that we never hear about them ever again sounds like the perfect compromise.

saw a poll where only like 20% of britons were in favour of canceling the monarchy, need to get that number up cmon

look she married in, she didn't have to but she wasn't anointed at birth to a life of palaces and hunting grounds

I think the actual dividing line is between "they ain't no human beings" as the official status of the monarchy and the casual hand-rubbing misogyny that's drawn to the existence of Kate Windsor as a public figure who's a woman

she knew what she was doing marrying into this family, I can't think of anyone who has married into it more deliberately

(xxp) Actually, as of January 2924:

48% retain the monarchy
32% elected head of state
20% don't know

... 2024, that is

can't believe we've got at least another 900 years of these fuckers

I think Americans are more in favour of the British monarchy than the British are. A bit like the Beatles.

she comes from a long line of hideous horsey-faced upper-middle class English royal brownnosers - she isn't exactly anything close to a comrade, you know?

decent, is there any agitation for ending it, is it in the news do people talk about it or is it more accepted that this is just some shit thats gonna go on forever

The latter. Give it time though.

According to Jasper Selwyn, the then-careers advisor at Marlborough School, Kate was all set to study at the University of Edinburgh alongside two of her best friends. Having achieved 2A’s and a B, Kate even reportedly had accommodation for the prestigious Scottish university all sorted out.

However, Kate pulled out last minute and decided to apply for the quieter St Andrews University, after there was an announcement confirming Prince William was to start studying there in 2001. Kate then went on a gap year, starting at St Andrews at the same time as her future husband. 

yeah if youre only down 16% with no organizing seems like that number has potential to move

You will have noticed the lack of headlines stating the King has been receiving chemotherapy treatment, unless I missed something

they just say "treatment" and you do have to wonder if he has anyone around him to stop him just using homeopathy

there is no story there, he has beaten cancer with a of regime herbal tea and ginseng (and getting tossed off by his servant every morning)

I spoke with some dudes at a bar in Stockholm last summer, and they said that most people there more or less support their monarchy as some kind of 'unifying influence' but also those royals manage to maintain a much lower profile and don't announce 'lifestyle brands' etc.

xposts There's probably a leech farmer on the Royal Warrant list

it’s sad she was an amateur photographer rip

the Swedish royals don’t take public money iirc

yeah I think that's true.. they're already rich af

Are they there by the Grace of God too? Defenders of the Faith?

I’m in paris for vacation and toured the palace of versailles today, made me think about some stuff. anyway get better kate!

Probably! I was sharing some of the spicier links and rumours shared here in a private forum of mostly Americans and was lambasted from a few for being so "negative" with attempts to shame me for my schadenfreude and gossip mongering once the cancer diagnosis was shared. While I'm not for outright guillotining them all, certainly tearing down the institution and never hearing from them again seems like an ideal compromise to me. The whole circus felt gross when I first became aware of it in the 90's. I feel sympathizing for them is as gross as sympathizing for Trump's family tbqh, maybe that's harsh but it's how I see it. Sucks for Kate and her kids, but my emotional response to the news is a flat line, if not disappointment that it's not spicier.

i have a neighbor who flew a trump flag forever then when the queen died they replaced it with the union jack, some twisted shit lol

Haven’t read the whole thread, but how does a dead person get cancer?

Decade or two

Happy to never hear about them ever again tbh.

not that this matters for the discussion here but it was actually the character who went missing after a helicopter crash, not either of the two actors who played him - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jock_Ewing

precisely the point I was making!

ahaha, ok

Will never get over how the answer to "how do we cover up cancer diagnosis?" was "I like experimental photography"

tbf we're not talking about people with a close connection to reality

Nope, true. But Charles came out with it straight away, don't know what the thinking was here.

Keeping her kids in the dark I guess.

Just don't buy it.
