53. That's two royals with cancer and another who is not in good health (Camilla), though what her malady(ies) may be

Mar 22

I'm not certain, but I've heard that Charles is concerned about her. I've wondered since after Christmas if Katherine might have had a pregnancy-related malady that they were trying to keep confidential (or had undergone an emergency c-section for a non-viable fetus with a serious abnormality). It had crossed my mind that it might have been a cancer diagnosis or one suspected, but it really seemed that was unlikely, but as the days ran on, it did seem that the timing of her post-surgical recovery was overlong. It's been well past six to eight weeks -- about the period of time it takes to undergo chemo or radiological treatments, and those are beastly on an individual.
