Emma Gillesti, Hello, Hello, Well Kate is back. Princess Catherine
her first public royal duty since her cancer diagnosis. Did
we see the images? Beautiful Kate on the balcony. We
had the trooping the color over the weekend which is
the King's Birthday weekend, sort of big display of pageantry,
a military parade. But it was the Princess of Wales's
(00:28):
first public appearance since that diagnosis. Earlier this year. She
appeared in public last in December. Then there was the
whole rigmarole and controversy and conspiracies over where she'd gone,
what had happened to her after that stomach surgery. She
disclosed in March that she was undergoing chemo. And this
is actually the first time that both senior royals in
the British Royal family, Charles and Catherine, have been seen
(00:50):
alongside each other, because of course he's dealing with his
own cancer diagnosis. So the response has been, you know,
largely that this was a show of stability by the monarchy,
of fanfare. Lots of crowds applayed. Crowds love seeing Kate well,
loved seeing her and she did look really well at her.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
She did said she said, she's still not out of
the woods. It's preemptive chemo, she has said.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yes, mean we still don't know very much about her diagnosis.
Kensington Palace haven't said what type of cancer it is,
and you're right, Amanda. When she was public with the diagnosis,
it was just that it was preventative chemotherapy. That's all
we know, and that she had a stomach surgery. So
very very vague on the details and I don't think
we'll be getting any specifics for a long time to come.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So this means she's back on the royal circuit.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, she did warn that she's not out of the woods.
So there was a statement on Friday ahead of this
parade that she was participating in sort of giving an update.
She said, I'm making good progress, but as anyone going
through chemo will know, there are good days and bad days.
I'm not out of the woods yet. She sort of
flagged that, you know, while she was going to be
participating this weekend in royal duties, it wasn't necessarily a
(01:55):
return to form, so she's not going to be hitting
the ground running again, but maybe we'll start to say
a little.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Bit more of her. I think people relieved just to
see how well she was doing.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I saw that the Daily Telegraph or the Telegraph in
England wrote an article that said, when lesser Mortals would
have stayed at home, Catherine proved that the show goes on,
and people have reacted very badly to that. People are
saying I had to get three trains to hospital to
have my chemo, which I pay for.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Six months of misery. I worked every night.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I hope Kate makes a speedy recovery, but lesser Mortals,
how dare you and someone else saying, I'm going through chemo,
still working, parenting, doing the housework, making the tea, I'm sick,
I'm in pain, worried about finances. I'm glad Kate felt
well enough to attend, But that journalist can be blight.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I think when you use terms like that, yes, and.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Kate would have hated that. I'd imagine she's now relating
hugely to everyone who's going through a similar ordeal.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, and I think that speaks to maybe the problematic
nature of the Palace being so private on the details.
You know, I completely understand she's a mom, she's got
her family, she's living her life. She's going through something horrific.
I understand why they don't want to tell us the
ins and outs. But at the same time, if you're
going to compare her to you know, everybody else in
the world who's dealing with unthinkable treatments when we don't
(03:09):
know the specifics, and that she is sort of reappearing
and looking so well, she looked beautiful, and of course
she's got a whole team around her who help her
look back gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Save it for like lesser mortals when they come to
work with a hangover. That's, you know, lesser mortals.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
No one applauds us today.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But I just wondering, if.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You know, if that might make people feel a little
bit better, if you know you're going to new and thinking, God,
I couldn't do what she's doing. But if you knew
her treatment.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Or a box factory, or you're working on a building
site and you're getting chemo treatment, yeah, I would imagine
it's quite easy to cut a ribbon as opposed to
layer of bricks or something.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well it's Yeah, it'll be interesting to
see kind of what happens next with her treatment. You
know whether we hear any details or not, but I
think that outpouring would exactly have have upset Kate to
see that that commentary has emerged. Charles, on the other hand,
is also being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.
He looked well, but I think he looks like he's
(04:07):
aged a lot in the last six years.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I feel for him.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
His mum kind of chopped him off at the knees
because her waiting till she passed away said that she
didn't trust him, even though that may not be the truth,
that's how it's played out. So he's come into the
role of his life as a man who's nearly eighty.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
What pain waits, the waiting for this for years, waiting
seventy plus years, and now this is the thing he
was born to do. He traveled in a carriage. Normally
when he does this trooping the color birthday weekend thing,
he's on a horse. He was on a horse last year,
but he was in a carriage this year, so we're
not really sure how he's going. But he's eased back
into more public duties. He attended the eightieth anniversary d
(04:45):
Days he has.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
His fingers going. That's the thing of his finger watch.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I did zoom in on the right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
They looked all right, that's the dare I say. They
looked a little less swollen, a little sausagey, a little
less cherizo than normal, which has to be a good
son Theresa.
