GOOD WISHES FOR PRINCESS KATE

I’m sorry that it has taken me so long to address the incredibly sad health issue that Princess Kate is going through right now. I needed a bit of time me to gather my thoughts on the subject, outside of being horrified that this poor graceful woman has some form of cancer.

But today is actually the perfect time to discuss the situation, being that it’s right before Mother’s Day, (well, here in America, anyway,) and Kate is a wonderful mom to her three adorable children.

And just two weeks ago, Catherine and William celebrated their thirteenth wedding anniversary. So it’s nice that they’ve been on their supporters’ minds for something other than sadness lately.

I was in the middle of a bad cold when Kate’s plight was announced a little over a month ago. I was falling asleep on the couch while watching the NCAA basketball tournament when a “special report” broke into the telecast in the middle of the day. I never thought for one second that the newscaster was going to say the words, “Princess Kate has announced that she has cancer.” I sat right up, in shock, and then ran to find Mr. X to share the painful news with him.

My health has gotten all better since then; I just pray that Kate’s does, as well, and very soon.

I adore that girl. I’m still not over the fact that, when the royal brothers hosted that 2007 Concert For Diana, when Wills and Kate were broken-up, Kate didn’t get to sit with the princes. I was relieved when I saw that she got to at least attend with the rest of their pals, but I so wanted the couple to be seated together. So when they got back together shortly after that, and then engaged, the only person happier than yours truly was Kate herself!

Regular INAM readers may recall how into their Royal Wedding I was in April 2011. These are some of my thoughts that I shared about Princess Catherine on her wedding day back then:

“Kate is just perfect for this regal position. The royal family were very lucky to get her. And I’m afraid that she was the star of the day, by far, even though it was supposed to be about the Prince taking a bride to be the future Queen.”

“I loved her dress and her hair down and her perfect body. She looked like a Barbie doll, with her tiny waist and upper body.”

“I think that she actually gets prettier all the time.”

“She never even once had any superfluous movement during the entire ceremony, and only twice moved her hair back on the balcony around the time of the kiss. What a woman.”

“Kate looks great from all angles. She’s not gorgeous like a model, but she’s truly beautiful–like a breath of fresh air. She’s possibly the most beautiful bride in history, at least equal to Grace Kelly. And that’s saying something!”

“She’s one bride whose wedding had to far exceed her expectations from when she was a little girl, no matter how grand her imaginings were.”

“As much as I loved it all, I do wish that William had turned around to watch Kate walk down the aisle. I’m assuming protocol said he couldn’t do that, but seeing it on TV will never be what seeing her walk in person would have been. [Note: At least one commentator said he did sneak a peek, for just a second, but it was when the camera was off him, so I don’t know how she made that assumption. But I’m really hoping it’s correct.]”

“And I also wish that they could have smiled and interacted more, but, by the way they appeared to be holding their smiles in, I have a feeling they were told not to smile more because that’s not really royal.”

“I can’t believe I’m such a sucker for romance that I actually loved that the happy couple shared two kisses with the public. And they were good ones, too!”

Back to 2024 now. My admiration of the Royal Princess has never waned. It’s actually even grown as she became a mother to one, two, and then three. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that she’s so physically beautiful; if we fans could have designed a dream princess, Catherine is exactly what she would look like.

Outside of all that, it’s shameful that the poor woman had to share the sad and worrisome news with the world because some troll was about to leak it, and she very rightfully wanted the revelation to be on her terms. First of all, it’s absolutely none of our business. But much, much worse is that it’s not fair to her children. Who knows if Kate and William were going to tell them the truth, or when, but now they had no choice. Most other people in the world can shield their young charges from news like this; it’s a shonda that the Royals did not get that luxury.

So now I send my great thoughts and wishes to Kate for a full and quick recovery. Her children, husband, Royal Family, and actually the entire world, needs her kindness and classiness right now and forever.

I know I’m not alone in wishing for a speedy and easy recovery for the beloved Princess Kate.
