Cancer is a huge deal. The one thing they clarified about Kate's condition to put people's minds at ease is that it wasn't cancer.
The monarch could very well deteriorate and die because of his cancer. There could be another funeral and another coronation on the public's horizon. And yet people are ok not knowing the type of cancer, the treatment he's getting, what condition he'll be in during the treatment, or the prognosis.
Kate, who is a non-essential member of The Firm, had surgery, is recovering according to the announced timeline, and is expected to return to work. The only thing they didn't tell us is exactly what part of Kate's abdomen was operated on and why.
The conspiracy theory festival going on right now is not because of a pressing "lack of information".

I’ll be devastated if Charles isn’t long for this world. I assume William knows Charles’s prognosis. If it’s not good, I can’t imagine the stress he’s under right now. Based on his parents’ longevity, I figure Charles has another 15 years left in him. Can Charles bounce right back after cancer treatment at his age? (Sorry, I really have no clue whether successful cancer treatment has negative permanent effects.)
ETA: OK, I googled it and, phew, no permanent effets on the immune system.

Depends on the type of cancer and the type of therapy. There are blood cancers, as an example multiple myeloma, for which people are maintained on immunosuppressive therapy for years. Any type of cancer which requires treatment with a bone marrow transplant will also have permanent immunosuppressive therapy. And there are plenty of chemotherapies which cause negative permanent effects, which are not on the immune system, and can be fatal or life-limiting. |

Yikes. I had to check to see if that portrait was AI-generated or real. I do like the butterfly.

I actually quite like it! A nice change from the usual parade of boring portraits.

I like the butterfly too, but as a whole it looks rather…diabolical.
