The Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) shocked people around the world when she revealed that she has cancer and is undergoing preventative chemotherapy at this time.
Most people didn’t see this coming but they had no problem spreading their own theories about Kate when she wasn’t seen publicly for weeks, and some of what they have been saying ranges from really out there to downright cruel. Now, a royal commentator has broken down in tears when asked about the princess’s revelation amid the nasty rumors and says she has “lost all faith in humanity.”

Ever since it was announced in mid-January that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) had abdominal surgery which required a lengthy recovery at home and a break from all royal engagements, there’s been speculation about her whereabouts.
For whatever reason, it seems inconceivable to some that the princess is really just taking time off to recover in the privacy of her Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor. Therefore, wild conspiracies have emerged which have led to the Waleses trying to calm things down. But their actions have made things worse and now a royal commentator believes they have to “play chess” with the media and the public.

Ever since it was announced that King Charles has cancer, Prince Harry has been everywhere.
Following the public announcement of the monarch’s diagnosis, it was reported that the king’s estranged son was “rushing” to the U.K. to see his father. But what was rushed was Harry’s trip as he saw the king for around 30 minutes and within 24 hours of arriving in England, flew back to the U.S.
Just two days later, the Duke of Sussex showed up at the NFL Honors to present an award, and a few days after that made a handful of appearances with his wife, Meghan Markle, related to the Invictus Games that will be held in Canada in 2025. Harry also did a televised interview on Good Morning America in which he spoke about visiting his dad. Several royal watchers blasted the prince, claiming that his quick trip to the U.

After some not-so-great press in 2023 and landing on the “Biggest Losers” of the year list, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have embarked on a quest to rebrand themselves. They were said to be done with bashing the royal family and want to move away from being known as ex-working royals as they focus on new projects. But their online rebrand has made their connection to the royal family crystal clear and reportedly hasn’t gone down very well at the Palace.
Now, the prince and former Suits star are receiving criticism for not letting go of that royal connection as much as they claim they want to. The couple’s behavior is also being labeled as “sleazy” and “desperate.”

Upon leaving the royal family in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to use their royal connections to live a life of service. However, it appears the couple has not kept their promise in the years since.

Following the cancellation of her Archetypes podcast on Spotify and some negative headlines over the last several months, the duchess has been trying to rebuild her brand.

There have been reports that she and Prince Harry are working on projects and putting together more content to fulfill their multi-million Netflix contract as well. Now, royal biographer Tom Bower says the former Suits star has plans to write her own memoir like her husband did to get out “her truth.” Here’s more on that and what a commentator is pointing to as a big problem for the end of Meghan’s book.

Royal watchers have been discussing Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s appearance in Las Vegas in early November. The couple showed up in Sin City to see Katy Perry close out her residency at Resorts World. The event was also attended by a handful of other celebrities including Celine Dion.
While the Sussexes flew out of California on the same private plane owned by oil heir Michael Herd that Zoe Saldana and Cameron Diaz also boarded, it’s not known if the duke and duchess are friendly with either of the actors. But one commentator claims Meghan wants everyone to think they are and is really hoping she can forge some high-profile friendships in Hollywood because the former Suits star wants what Taylor Swift has.

Celebrities taking private jets to and from different events is nothing new. But when high-profile people like Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle do, it makes news since they claim to be eco-activists. The duke is even the founder of a sustainable travel initiative called Travalyst. Therefore, the Sussexes have been blasted as “hypocrites” after reports surfaced that they hitched a ride on a private jet with a few other celebs who attended Katy Perry’s concert to close out her residency in Las Vegas on Nov. 4. Other stars on the airliner included Zoe Saldana, and Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden.
Now, a royal expert is finding irony in Meghan and Harry flying with Madden because a certain Good Charlotte tune could be their “theme song.”

Following their choice to step down from their royal duties and move to the U.S., Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have spoken out several times about how their experience as members of Britain’s most famous family wasn’t a pleasant one. They also made claims about being mistreated by some senior royals.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace hasn’t had much to say about the Sussexes since their departure aside from the “recollections may vary” statement in response to the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. But at least one commentator believes that something the king did not do actually “rewarded” his estranged son and daughter-in-law.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles within the duke’s family, many royal watchers believed the decision for the prince to leave the only life he’s ever known was all his wife’s idea. Even though Harry has said that is not the case, Meghan has gotten the blame for that and everything from turning her husband against his family to what’s written in his memoir Spare.
But now one commentator who crowned Meghan as “worst wife” says she no longer holds that title because another Hollywood star just “seized” that crown.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been laying low recently after leaked emails revealed the couple’s list of demands so they would be portrayed positively during their visit to Harlem in 2021. But throughout the month of September, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were front and center as they were photographed daily smiling for the cameras at the 2023 Invictus Games.
Now, a royal commentator is claiming that every time we saw Meghan and Harry they looked to really be playing up their love story for all to see and their fake smiles must “hurt their faces.”

The Disney Corporation raised some eyebrows over the weekend after a sharing a meme featuring its beloved character Pinocchio being brought to life under the tagline: “When someone compliments you, but you’re dead inside.”
“Makes no difference who you are,” Disney added in a cryptic message.
“Damn Disney u ok?” asked BuzzFeed’s David Mack — one of many blue-check Twitter blue users who fretted that all might not be well in the House of Mouse.

Needless to say, the tweet from Disney’s official Twitter account appeared off-brand for a company whose stock and trade has delivering family-friendly content through its beloved animated characters.
Reps for Disney did not immediately respond to request for comment from TheWrap about why this tweet was launched or what it could mean.
But that didn’t stop commenters on social media from speculating for why the company would embrace such a dark meme.
“I for one think it’s great that disney is leaning into nihilism as a social media content strategy,” wrote one Twitter user.
