Kate Middleton's cancer conspiracy theories resurface as royal reporter questions the princess' diagnosis

LONDON, ENGLAND: Online conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis and recovery have resurfaced after a reputable and certified royal reporter claimed the Princess of Wales had "pre-cancerous cells" instead of cancer, per The Daily Beast.

A September story by Rhiannon Mills, a senior royal journalist for Sky News, reappeared following Kate's appearance at the Festival of Remembrance this past weekend, sparking renewed interest in the 42-year-old princess' condition.

Bizarre conspiracy theory resurfaces around Kate Middleton's cancer battle

Wild conspiracy theories regarding Kate Middleton's cancer fight have resurfaced online in a dramatic resurgence. In September, the Princess of Wales declared she was cancer-free, six months after confirming she was receiving chemotherapy for her diagnosis.

According to Kate's March 2024 announcement, an examination following her abdominal surgery "found cancer," and she was told to "undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy."

However, a doctor told The Daily Beast, "You either have pre-cancerous cells or you have cancer, the two terms are not interchangeable." A September Sky News story by Rhiannon Mills recently reappeared, sparking fresh interest in Kate's condition.

When covering the Princess of Wales' jubilant video statement that she was "cancer-free," Mills reported that Kate had "pre-cancerous cells had been found" rather than that the royal was battling cancer.

"In March the princess confirmed that pre-cancerous cells had been found following abdominal surgery and that she would have to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy," Mills wrote at the time.

The precise word choice was largely overlooked at the time due to relief at Kate's declaration that she was "cancer-free" and broad surprise at the video's intensely personal content, which featured Kate, Prince William, and their family.

The term "pre-cancerous cells" raised questions about Kate's health, particularly in light of Mills' well-regarded standing in the British press.

According to the Daily Beast, Mills is a member of the 'so-called royal rota, a quasi-official group of royal journalists working for British media' who regularly collaborate with the palace, frequently composing critical stories about the royals.

However, the palace never corrected the section regarding "pre-cancerous cells" in Mills' report, which apparently supported theories surrounding the Princess of Wales.

Conspiracy theorists claim Kate Middleton played the 'sympathy card'

The revelation has intensified unpleasant suspicions spread by internet trolls that Kate Middleton either fabricated or exaggerated her sickness to hide personal issues.

Since then, the story went viral on social media, with one person claiming via X that Kate "thought it appropriate to play the sympathy card when the popularity of the Royal family is at an all-time low."

Another conspiracy theorist added: "Pre-cancerous calls are absolutely not cancer. I’ve had pre-cancerous cells removed from my cervix, I was back at work; the next sodding day. Kate, doesn’t work, she has milked this beyond all realms of acceptably. Lying about cancer is not ok."

British commentator Narinder Kaur, who occasionally appears as a talking head on 'GMB', the largest breakfast talk show in the United Kingdom, is another popular internet personality who has jumped on the resurrected accusations.

Kaur wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "I don't know if she had cancer or pre cancer cells. But either way...I've been attacked in the most vicious way. Just because I asked why she looked aged. Just THAT."

"So Kate Middleton’s “cancer” was in fact some pre cancerous cells that had to be removed," another conspiracy theorist claimed.

Royal fans defend Kate Middleton's cancer battle

Following the circulating online conspiracy theories, royal fans flocked to the social media platform to support Kate Middleton's cancer battle with one X user arguing, "Pre cancerous cells can easily evolve into cancerous."

Another fan added, "They don’t give chemo for pre cancerous cells. This is a horrible rumour."

"You’re just a crazy, jealous conspiracy theorist. Your hatred and jealousy of the Princess of Wales has consumed you to the point you don’t know which way is up. It’s actually sad," seethed one.

Another said, "Do you actually hear what you're saying? I hope so because it doesn't make any sense. Furthermore, The Princess of Wales stated herself what she had and treatment she was receiving. What you're spewing could be taken as defamation and libel."

"She had chemotherapy, and she had abdominal surgery that meant a 2 week stay in hospital. You have absolutely no proof of your assertion so I would either delete or come up with cast iron evidence," added one.
