Rumors surrounding the health of Princess Kate Middleton have been put to rest with her courageous revelation of a cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatment, silencing months of social media speculations and celebrity remarks.
American reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who had previously made a dig at Kate during the rumors of her ‘disappearance,’ is now facing a wave of backlash for her insensitive post.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Kardashian shared an older picture of herself with blonde hair alongside a caption that read: “On my way to go find Kate.” The post drew sharp criticism from netizens for its insensitive tone.
Following Kate’s announcement of her cancer diagnosis, fans took to social media demanding an apology from Kardashian for her earlier remarks. Many expressed their disappointment and urged her to remove the post, emphasizing the seriousness of Kate’s health condition.
Amid the uproar, Hollywood actor Blake Lively, who had also made light of the situation with a social media post, issued a public apology on her Instagram. Lively’s post, which mocked a photoshop mishap by Kate Middleton, had also received criticism from netizens.
Lively’s apology, accompanied by well wishes, aimed to acknowledge the insensitivity of her earlier post and express remorse for any offense caused.
While Kardashian faced a barrage of criticism, her sister and fellow reality star Khloe Kardashian offered words of support, while Lively’s attempt at humor backfired, prompting many of her followers to express their disappointment and threaten to unfollow her.
Princess Kate, 42, had remained out of the public eye since Christmas until recent footage surfaced showing her with her husband, Prince William, walking from a shop on the royal family’s Windsor estate.
As Kate bravely faces her health battle, the insensitive comments from celebrities serve as a reminder of the importance of empathy and sensitivity, particularly when discussing serious health issues.
