However, despite this, media speculation and questioning about her health and whereabouts have persisted, with some even scrutinizing a video reportedly captured on March 16th featuring Kate and Prince William. Responding to inquiries about the moral implications of these conspiracy theories, Archbishop Welby remarked on society's preoccupation with such speculations, highlighting the lack of consideration for the humanity of those caught in the media spotlight.
He expressed concern over the rampant spread of gossip facilitated by the internet, emphasizing the harmful effects and calling for a shift away from such behavior. Other public figures, including UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, have also defended Kate's privacy and emphasized her right to recover from her surgery without undue scrutiny. The Archbishop of Canterbury also disclosed during the interview that Megan and Harry have been excluded from receiving any information about Kate's health.
King Charles reportedly ordered the palace to block them from accessing such details, effectively leaving them out of the family circle. This revelation has raised questions about trust issues within the royal family, with speculation that Megan may feel upset and resort to spreading unfounded conspiracy theories about Kate's health, potentially impacting the princess's mental well-being. As Kate continues her recovery from the January surgery, there has been heightened interest in her condition, with the media eagerly seeking any available information, even leading to a hospital data breach.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, despite their attempts to stay informed, are reportedly unaware of the latest developments concerning Kate's health. During Harry's recent visit to the UK following King Charles's cancer diagnosis announcement, he allegedly expressed a desire to see William and Kate but was unable to do so. This lack of communication and trust has left William concerned about Kate's well-being, as he takes on the responsibility of ensuring her recovery, while the family remains wary of Harry due to his forthcoming book and TV show.
