Conspiracy theories SURROUNDING of Kate Middleton cancer diagnosis and recovery has once again erupted online after a report by a respected and accredited royal reporter suggested that the Princess of Wales never had cancer but was found to have “precancerous cells”.

Dangerous rumors perpetuated by online trolls, who claim that Kate either faked or exaggerated her cancer to cover up personal difficulties, have been fueled by the claim.

When Kate announced that he had cancer in March 2024, she said that tests after abdominal surgery “found cancer” and that she was advised to “undertake a course of preventive chemotherapy”.

However, one doctor told The Daily Beast, “You either have precancerous cells or you have cancer, the two terms are not interchangeable.”

The renewed focus on Kate’s condition was sparked after a report from September by Rhiannon Mills, senior royal editor for Sky News, resurfaced this weekend.

When covering the Princess of Wales’ joyous announcement that she is not “cancer free,” Mills he wrote“In March, the princess confirmed that precancerous cells had been found following abdominal surgery and that she would need to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy.”

The specific wording went largely unnoticed at the time, amid relief at Kate’s announcement that she was “cancer free” and widespread astonishment at the deeply personal nature of the film, which showed Kate and Prince William and their family engaged in a number of wholesome and well-lit pursuits.

However, Mills’ remarks cannot be easily dismissed as she is a member of the so-called royal rotation, a quasi-official group of royal journalists who work for the British press and who, while maintaining their editorial independence and frequently writing stories criticism about the royal family. , cooperates with the palace, especially on logistics, in a broad sense.

The Palace is often able to correct simple errors made by spin journalists, and the fact that a correction was not made is relevant.

Mills is a very experienced journalist.

The resurfaced claims have been picked up by some credible online figures, the most prominent so far being British commentator Narinder Kaur, who sometimes appears on Britain’s biggest breakfast talk show, GMBlike a talking head.

Kaur, who has been embroiled in an online row over Kate’s appearance, also retweeted a claim that Kate “never had cancer”.

The Daily Beast has reached out to Mills and Kensington Palace for comment.

The resurgence of online rumors will displease the palace. Kate faced a storm of speculation earlier in the year when she disappeared for months after announcing she had unspecified abdominal surgery. Speculation ran high after a family photo, released in an apparent attempt to calm nerves, was found to be heavily edited and later “killed” by official photo and news agencies who accused Kensington Palace of inducing in error.

Kate then announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer in her first video address.

She returned to the public eye by attending the Wimbledon tennis finals in June and made another appearance at the King’s Day Parade that month.

She stepped out again this weekend, attending Remembrance Day events.
