Leave Her Alone. A Note on Why Everyone But Me Should.

I feel that I am especially qualified to talk about Kate and what she is going through. Why? I am a mother! I am a hack! I have not got cancer, but I can do performative empathy when I need to.

 Look, maybe I am being a little hard on my profession who are keen to point out how they differ from the mean online trolls and conspiracy theorists and nasty Americans who have been wildly speculating about the health of the Princess of Wales .

Tabloid/broadsheet/social media, let’s pretend that there are huge dividing lines here but it is clear that there are not and it is clear that the Palace press teams can no more handle this than anyone else.
