I'm a simple girl, with simple wants. I just want a solid and dependable biography of Katherine Parr by an academic historian whomst I've never had to side eye in the past because they've spouted illogical primary source analysis.

Seeing the front pages for today, Harry will be proud that he’s managed to make The King’s illness about himself.
William will be excited to have his turn today to play the alleged loving son and get some column inches for himself. This while briefing to his DM besties that he has no intention to step up for his family, The King.
Neither one of them genuinely care for their father. He’s just a convenient reason to garner positive press, like using their dead mother has been.
Tumblr media
The media has a story to sell, and they're going to sell it whether they have all the pertinent facts correct or not.
William and his cult are full of shit when they say William & KP are not giving more information out about Kate because one of her former nurses self-deleted after being harassed by the media. If the privacy of health care workers was so important, then why mention that Kate had "two Filipino nurses looking after her" at a gala fundraiser, which is full of rich people. Are you fucking kidding me? Why don't you just give out their first and last names while you're at it? Now all of Fleet Street knows to start looking for Filipino nurses working at The London Clinic in attempts to get any information out of them. What a way to protect Kate's health care workers from future harassment!
Tumblr media
Because the Wales fandom was using the excuse that they weren't revealing anything about Kate's condition because they didn't want the medical staff to be harassed like the nurse, Jacintha Saldanha, who committed suicide after Kate was hospitalized with hyperemesis gravidarum, when she was pregnant with George.
Clearly, William learned so much about that incident regarding respecting health care workers. The Wales fandom too because they're the ones making excuses for this man ALL THE TIME.
Let's not forget that William has worked exactly TWO DAYS since the start of the year, and isn't expected to be working full time at any point in the near future. After all, he did two engagements yesterday, then he's off for another ten-plus days. When will he do engagements again after the kids are off break? We don't know.
But we do know that most regular people would have to be back at work by now. Most people don't go on vacation every time their kids get out of school. William and Kate are on vacation far more than eight weeks a year. Most people don't even get six weeks of vacation. Not that their stans can admit it because if they did, then they'd have to admit that their faves are jokes, just like they are.
As for Harry, I'm not sure why he flew over. Perhaps it was for pr games, but if it was, I suspect his wife made him do it just so that she could get papped. Because for a brief moment a picture like that would actually sell more than it did two weeks ago.
I have no doubt that Harry might be freaked about it in general, but given that Charles's cancer doesn't seem to be life threatening, Harry clearly didn't need to visit. If Charles actually had life threatening cancer, then he would have visited with Harry for more than 30 minutes or whatever.
When Charles's biographer, Robert Jobson, is writing sentences like this:
Charles was widely reported to have been ‘touched’ by the gesture. Perhaps he was. Yet I am told that the reality is both more complex and more troubling – that Harry caused some disquiet by ‘taking it upon himself’ to fly over unbidden and at such short notice. Put bluntly, the King was unhappy about what amounted to a fait accompli served up by an emotional but well-meaning son. Charles just needs peace and quiet right now and had planned to fly off to the tranquillity of Norfolk with his wife, the Queen, much earlier on Tuesday. Yet thanks to Harry’s intervention, their Majesties were left kicking their heels at Clarence House, their main London home, while they waited for the errant younger son to appear.
If Charles's condition was far more dire, then they wouldn't be reacting that way. Harry would have had a much longer visit with Charles.
This is why I posted some comments by a urologist on reddit discussing bladder cancer yesterday. Because people hear that Charles is doing chemo and don't understand that it can be done by injecting the drugs directly into the bladder rather than going through the bloodstream. People like barkjack:

ICIs are immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are often used to treat bladder cancer in the US.

Charles is going to be fine. Yes, he's going to have probably a rough three months until his cancer is under control, but as the urologist from reddit said, "We treat people in their 70s and 80s all the time for this."
"All the time" = routine. Charles ain't dying this year or next year. I hate to break it to all of those "astrologers" and other people expecting Charles to suddenly die right now, but you're going to end up disappointed. Charles is going to be around for more than five more years. Better get used to it.
However, Fleet Street will continue to hype up any drama they can find to the highest degree based on the smallest grain, as the Middleton clan is about to find out.
