Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been diagnosed with cancer and has begun chemotherapy, she announced in a video message on Friday, in which she described the past two months as “incredibly tough for our entire family.”
It comes after a period of intense uncertainty about the health of Catherine, who underwent abdominal surgery in January and largely disappeared from public view as she tried to recuperate.
Like the king, Catherine, 42, did not specify what kind of cancer she has, but asked the public and news media to respect her desire for privacy.
She’s not a “hereditary supposedly demi-god.” Firstly because no one in Britain thinks of the royals that way and secondly, because she married into it, so it wasn’t hereditary for her.
But sure, don’t let her decide who she gets to love and marry.
It doesn’t matter what people think, this is how monarchy works. And sure she married into it, so did Marie-Antoinette, and her kids will inherit it, so that point is moot.
I see. So it’s okay to be happy about her cancer because her kids inherit a figurehead position with no actual power due to who she married.
Don’t worry, I wish it on her kids (when they grow up) too!
And no, it’s not true that the British Crown has no real power. They fair regularly influence legislation directly, and foreign policy in more indirect manners.
Because they chose to be born?
Because they choose not to renounce to their inherited powers, sure.
Sorry… you know somehow that they won’t do this and so because of that, you wish cancer on them?
And even if they don’t do that… what exactly would they have done in their lives that would justify a horrible, slow, agonizing death?
We don’t do that to multiple-murderers in most countries.
I said when they grown up.
And I agree, the guillotine is faster and more humane.
Again- what would they do to deserve a guillotine? They would not be absolute monarchs. The power invested in the British crown is negligible.
So what in specific would they do to be worthy of execution or cancer besides be part of an archaic system with no power attached to it?
It’s like you don’t even understand what the point of the French Revolution was.
