Updates by Kensington Palace about Princess Kate’s health could help squash rumors circulating among both the mainstream media and on social media while she is out of the public eye focusing on her health, an expert told Newsweek.
February and March saw wild speculation as the Princess of Wales took time out of royal duties to focus on recovery from abdominal surgery.Conspiracy theories became so rampant that she eventually revealed in a video message on March 22 that she had been diagnosed with cancer and begun chemotherapy.
That initially silenced much of the gossip but, around two-and-a-half months later, the frenzy appears to have returned.
