In a remarkable turn of events, celebrities and social media influencers are retracting their earlier claims and jokes about the Princess of Wales amidst mounting pressure on public figures like Kim Kardashian to address their insensitive remarks. The recent revelation of Kate’s battle with cancer has prompted a wave of apologies from those who previously engaged in cruel speculation and mockery on various platforms including X, Instagram, and TikTok.
Grovelling Apologies and Regrets
Left-wing journalist Owen Jones and actress Blake Lively were among the first to express remorse for their ill-judged remarks made online. Even Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code, admitted feeling “disgusted” with herself for participating in the speculative discussions about Kate. Scores of social media users and influencers joined in, acknowledging their guilt and remorse for indulging in vile conspiracy theories now that the truth about Kate’s absence from public life has been revealed.
Silence and Criticism
While some rushed to delete their previous posts, others faced criticism for remaining silent, with Kim Kardashian becoming a focal point for her Instagram joke about finding Kate. Criticism mounted under her post, with followers demanding an apology and urging her to take down the insensitive content.
High-Profile Speculations and Apologies
Owen Jones, known for his speculative tweets, expressed shame for not considering the seriousness of Kate’s condition before engaging in conspiracy theories. Blake Lively also shared regrets for a previous post that now seemed inappropriate in light of Kate’s diagnosis.
Regrets from Lesser-Known Figures
Many lesser-known individuals also stepped forward to apologize for sharing jokes and memes about Kate. Lawyer Kimberly Stone and others expressed their remorse for engaging in what they now recognized as harmful behavior.
Condemnation and Outrage
Some individuals, however, chose not to apologize and even doubled down on their earlier claims. Christopher Bouzy, a vocal supporter of the Sussexes, launched an extraordinary rant against the palace, accusing them of deceit. Despite Kate’s diagnosis, Bouzy insisted that the theories surrounding her disappearance were valid.
Hope for an End to Speculation
Royal aides expressed hope that Kate’s announcement would put an end to the distressing rumors surrounding her health and whereabouts. They emphasized the importance of Kate’s privacy and well-being during her recovery.
Support and Understanding
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond highlighted the need for support for Kate and her family, especially during this challenging time.

Respect for Privacy and Recovery
Kensington Palace reiterated its commitment to providing updates on Kate’s condition only when necessary, prioritizing her recovery and privacy. Prince William will continue to balance his official duties with supporting his wife and family, ensuring they receive the necessary privacy and support during this difficult period.
Focus on Recovery
Kate’s cancer diagnosis, discovered after major surgery in January, has understandably shifted the focus to her recovery. While the princess remains out of the public eye, she is said to be in good spirits and determined to make a full recovery, with Kensington Palace urging respect for her privacy during this time of healing.
