US actress Shannen Doherty, who has been battling cancer for years, criticizes the public pressure on British Princess Kate. In the British media, a few authors admitted that they were now ashamed of having taken part in the speculation surrounding the 42-year-old from the royal family.
When British Princess Kate (42) made her cancer public in a video message, she combined it with the desire for consideration and time for privacy. The fact that there had previously been wild speculation around the world regarding their absence in public has not only sparked a debate regarding the royals’ privacy, but above all regarding their use of social media.
In the British newspaper “The Observer” author Rachel Cooke wrote: How cruel it must be to recover from an operation and then hear that your own absence seems suspicious. “How terrible it is to go through chemotherapy and know that if you step outside your front door you will most likely be photographed.” In the Independent, an author confessed that he was now ashamed of having indulged in conspiracy theories: “If there’s anything good regarding it, it’s that it might encourage us to think twice before we run our mouths regarding the next thing ‘big secret’.”
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, had already said before Kate’s video message last week that everyone deserves rest when they are sick. “It’s just old-fashioned village gossip that can now spread around the world in seconds, and we have to turn away from it,” he told the Internet rumor mill.
“Beverly Hills, 90210” actress Shannen Doherty, who is suffering from cancer, sharply criticized the public pressure. “Being a public figure does not mean that the public has control over them. We all have the right to live through an illness or our lives privately,” wrote Doherty (52) on Instagram over the weekend. The onslaught of “conspiracy theories, possessiveness and simply morbid curiosity” forced Kate to make the statement.
Doherty announced in 2015 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, she has been fighting the disease – explicitly publicly to encourage other sufferers.
