Megyn Kelly slammed as she calls for 'honesty' from royal family after Kate Middleton's cancer reveal
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Megyn Kelly, the renowned journalist and host of her eponymous show, is weighing in on the handling of Kate Middleton's recent cancer announcement, emphasizing the need for transparency and honesty from the royal family, reported OK Magazine.
Kelly acknowledged the challenges of discussing a potentially fatal disease with young children and speculated on the careful approach the monarchy might have taken in informing them.
Megyn Kelly urges royal family to prioritize transparency amid Kate Middleton's cancer battle
On the March 25 episode of her show, Kelly highlighted the sensitive nature of Middleton's situation, especially considering her young age of 42 and her role as a mother to three children.
"In Catherine's case, it would have been extra shocking because we also had (King Charles') diagnosis, but also she's only 42 years old. And they needed to be extra careful around this announcement even more so than the Queen (Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip and now King Charles – because she's got three little ones," stated Kelly.

Despite understanding the complexity of the situation, Kelly criticized the royal family for potentially misleading the public in the lead-up to Middleton's announcement. She emphasized the importance of honesty, especially when dealing with sensitive health issues, and cautioned against undermining public trust with misleading information.
"Any mother could understand letting your young children know that you've got a potentially fatal disease is a very sensitive discussion, and you'd want to handle that in exactly the right way," the star continued.
"Maybe they did delay telling the children, as they're claiming, until they could spend three weeks straight with them and the kids could see mom all day seeming fine, acting normal. I can absolutely understand that. So to me that does make sense," she noted.
Kelly stressed the need for the royal family to be "extremely explicit and honest" in their communication moving forward. She emphasized that any misstep or lack of transparency would only further erode trust and credibility, urging the monarchy to be forthcoming about the details surrounding Middleton's diagnosis and treatment.
In spite of all the drama and speculation from the past month, the podcast host isn't completely forgiving the monarchy.
"I will say, if they're still misleading in the description of how it all went down, it just undermines the whole thing even more because people, when they sense they're being misled, will hold on like a dog with a bone," Kelly said.
"And in this case, prior to Kate's announcement, we were being misled, the people were right, that they were not being given the full straight story."
"So now more than ever, they need to be extremely explicit and honest," she explained. "They can say this is where we're drawing the lines, but there can be absolutely no misstep like the ones that we've seen."
