Why Do People Think Catherine & William Are ‘Getting a Divorce’ after Her Cancer Announcement?

After Catherine, Princess of Wales, recently announced that she was struggling with health problems, fans began to react to the news on social media. While some fans expressed genuine concern for the princess, there were others who developed their own theories about what was going on inside the royal family.

Princess Catherine recently announced that she is struggling with a cancer diagnosis after being noticeably absent from public since January. The princess has asked for privacy as she is dealing with this issue. The public reaction to the news was a mixture of compassion, speculation and some suspicion, which led to a series of rumors about the state of her marriage to Prince William.

Social media was especially awash with chatter, where one tweet abruptly said, “Now I know they’re getting divorced. on paper, they are probably already divorced.” Prince William’s absence from Princess Catherine’s side during the announcement seemed to strike a chord with the public.

The royal family was accused of hiding the truth, and comments on the situation ranged from concern to outright disbelief. The responses to the initial tweet echoed these feelings, with phrases such as “Kate had problems in her marriage” and “good reason” surfacing in the conversation.

The speculation became personal when individuals compared Prince William’s behavior to that of his brother Harry. Observers noted that if Meghan Markle had been in a similar situation, Harry would most likely have been there, offering to shake her hand. Arguments flared up as people shared their observations: it was “strange” that William was not with her, as they thought most husbands would have done in similar circumstances.

These online discussions quickly escalated as the public tried to piece together the story, with another person stating that if Princess Catherine was healthy enough to sit down and make a statement about her health, she should also be healthy enough to sit down and take a picture with her husband. The commentator concluded that the whole statement was a cover for something else.

The conversation about X broke out after a CNN video appeared in which a doctor talks about Princess Catherine’s condition. Anderson Cooper, who conducted an interview with the doctor, asked how Princess Catherine managed to get a cancer diagnosis after undergoing surgery.

The doctor began by saying that the press release “doesn’t make a lot of medical sense,” stating that when someone goes into major surgery, such as the operation that Princess Catherine underwent in January, they usually don’t go under the knife for “exploratory surgery.”
