The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has spoken out against the dissemination of conspiracy theories and rumors regarding the health of Princess Kate, labeling such speculations as mere "village gossip."
In an interview with Time Radio on Thursday, Welby expressed his disapproval of those who spread unfounded doubts and theories about the Princess's well-being. He firmly stated that gossiping about someone's health is not only "wrong" but also lacks empathy and understanding.
"We seem to be overly consumed by conspiracy theories, often overlooking the human aspect of those thrust into the media spotlight," Archbishop Welby commented.
He also highlighted the role of the internet in amplifying these baseless rumors, describing it as an "extremely unhealthy" platform that enables "old-fashioned village gossip" to spread globally within seconds.
In conclusion, Archbishop Welby called for a more compassionate approach towards public figures and emphasized the importance of refraining from spreading harmful gossip, particularly when it concerns someone's health and well-being.
