Heres what we know:Kate Middletonhas been ill. She’s recovering.
She doesn’t want to talk about it.
But it seems the public did not understand.
Chris Jackson
Some pointed to problems in her marriage, others to her mental health.
Then things got even more sinister.
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
Wishing everyone a Happy Mothers Day.

Why did Kate edit her family photo?
I dont know about you, but it looks a lot like bullying.
It feels as though the world is getting a warped satisfaction from another persons suffering.
As for the hastily edited images?
They feel more like an act of desperation than manipulation to me.
Kate may be a public figure, but shes not public property.
However, people dont realize, or perhaps they just dont care.
Because why are we trying to bully and blackmail a sick woman into performing for our entertainment?
But more to the point,why do we care?
Is it about concern, or dominance?
The obsession with forcing Kate to bend to the publics will feels controlling.
Why must we see her face now and not in a few weeks time when shes comfortable?
Kates reluctance to share her health with strangers is not the problem, the toxic reaction is.
