On Wednesday, Jan. 17, Kensington Palace announced via an official statement on the Waleses’ Instagram that the princess had undergone abdominal surgery. However, the statement did not provide extensive details about the procedure or her current condition, instead emphasizing the need for privacy and promising updates in due course.
Speaking on GB News, journalist Joanna Jarjue highlighted how the limited transparency surrounding Kate's health, as well as King Charles's, had sparked backlash against the royal family.
"I believe it would have been beneficial to have more transparency from Kate and Charles, particularly for those deeply concerned about her. The lack of clarity has only fueled speculation and created unnecessary turmoil," she remarked.
Jarjue also noted discrepancies in public perception regarding Prince William's support for Kate amidst her illness, suggesting that the coverage hasn't resonated as expected with the public.
Meanwhile, journalist Nina Myskow criticized the Prince of Wales, branding him an "entitled shirker" for allegedly using Catherine’s illness as a pretext to evade public engagements.
The calls for greater transparency regarding Kate's health underscore the public's concern and desire for clarity during challenging times for the royal family.
