“Something’s BADLY Detestable” | Kate Middleton Trolled Amid Most cancers Fight

Talk to Royal commentator Michael Cole hello Michael what a pleasure to have you on board good evening Kevin good evening Ally uh this of course is utterly contemptible but you and I know that the well of human malice has no bottom I promise you that I never ever look at social media in case inadvertently.

Anything I read there might influence what I write and what I say all I can do is condemn these people because here we have a 42-year-old mother of three children uh being treated preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer but let us first of all send our best wishes to the woman we see there and say a couple of.

Things about her first of all she's the most popular member of the royal family uh she was a huge success from a standing start as Duchess of Cambridge and she's been a brilliant Princess of Wales if if you and I and Ally went to a casting agent and we said would you please cast a perfect princess they'd say well um Grace Kelly and Audrey heurn.

Are no longer available but we have got somebody called Kate Middleton and she would be brilliant and she has been brilliant and I think we must commend her and we must wish her a very speedy and full recovery there's no upside in this cancer by definition is a serious matter uh the silence that's been about there.

Is not a good sign all we can do is hope uh for the best uh the only good thing you can say is perhaps and I'm quite sure she's enjoying it she's seeing more of her children she has fewer public engagements and of course she won't be at the Normandy commemorations the 80th anniversary of the dday uh in Britain or in Normandy where her husband the Prince.

Of Wales will be representing us at Omaha Beach with 25 uh heads of state and he will do a good job of representing this country and there they are together but I'm sure he misses her and why wouldn't he she's beautiful she's Charming she's elegant and she certainly does not deserve this and I wish there were sanctions to take.

Against these people because they live in their little holes I'm not sure what they do or why they do it why would anybody go out there and just be deliberately nasty about somebody they don't know and her condition about which they know absolutely nothing it it it puzzles me uh I deplore it uh and of course the internet is a wonderful thing.

It's a Brilliant Invention but it only takes human beings to make it rubbish well Michael you me and Ally let's admit it we date back to the times before social media uh and I'm wondering if you think it is social media that has changed the dial changed the landscape uh because uh part of this feeds into that ridiculous furer all about the.

Photo that she took and then photoshopped so it was all like is that even her it's not her so a lot of these trolls are going on about every time you see a picture of a it's a body double it's not really her uh and they've gone into a frenzy now because as you alluded to earlier Michael uh the the situation is this uh we were told when she first.

Sort of disappeared from view because she was having that abdominal surgery towards the end of last year that she would probably be back around about Easter we could expect her to be back on the scene certainly by now and of course we're now being told it may well be Autumn so whatever the truth is I'm sure she's uh getting better by the day but I.

Do think her recovery is taking longer than they had hoped and this of course only puts fuel on the fire of these conspiracy theorists who say the most horrible things but do you think it is social media that has turned us into a cruler society uh Brendan O'Neal in the mail on Sunday said that we do have to find a way of stopping what he called.

This evil and it is a kind of an evil if you're going to pick an innocent person that you don't know and use them uh to throw darts at for your own Amusement uh at the expense of their recovery from cancer something's badly wrong isn't it you're not wrong you're absolutely right you've summed it up brilliantly um if you just stick to the mainstream.

Media which is what I do in the last few days I've heard Channel 7 of Australia very reputable Channel I've worked there in Melbourne saying that Kate will not be seen in public until 2025 on the next page you find the Hindustan times saying that she's going to appear at the trooping of the color the sovereigns parade in two Saturdays time.

This is the sort of stuff you get uh I'm I'm afraid uh a vacuum nature ABS a vacuum and when you have a news vacuum it gets filled with rubbish but I mean who are these people and who are they talking to and what are they doing why are they doing that I I suppose it's um I don't know does it go back to the village where people whisper.

And and and gossip Monger about themselves because they've got nothing else to do I've always found in life that people who got time to uh talk about other people have got no life of their own and I'm afraid that that's the case in many of these instances but why they've got such Venom why they've got such Mal malice why they've got as you.

Say the word evil it's there because um these people have wouldn't have the guts to say it to you to to your face at at all they hide away uh in their sneaky little corners and they say that whether it's possible to uh draft legislation that will Outlaw that hard to say I would like to see the the people who give these people platforms do a great.

Deal more than they do because um we know that defamation we know the laws of defamation we're professional journalists we know how how they work and we live with that and we and we're very happy to live with that because it's the law of the land but these people it's a wild west out there and people can say anything about you or.

Ally or me and we have virtually no defense one would like to go around and knock on their door and say why do you think this because you'd actually like to confront them and see what actually they look like probably with a couple of heads but I think we should resist that uh because it might it might it might turn a bit interesting this is just me.

Theorizing Michael but if you cast your mind back to was it 98 when poor Princess Diana died and there was that outpouring of uh genuine emotion and was certainly not uh pouring any disdain on that the nation you know the nation started crying basically and if you remember thousands and thousands of people uh went to Kensington Palace in.

Particular to lay flowers to leave messages and they actually left them all over the country on roadsides everywhere and uh so in those days it was quite difficult you had to make an effort to get your message across and those messages by the way uh were good and genuine uh now these are less than good and genuine messages that people want to.

Get off uh about Kate it's so easy on uh social media just write your message press send hey Presto it's all done then you go to the pub for a pint I think perhaps the reason uh this happens these days is because social media uh is too easy or it's so easy to use one of the last times I cried hot tears was the 31st of August 1997 when I.

Learned before almost the whole of the world that the princess had died and uh I remember 6 days later 6th of September being at the Abbey and you talk about the flowers at Kensington Palace and indeed all around the four sides of the 5 Acre Site of Harolds and I looked at her coffin and I I looked at the lies uh on the top beautiful bouquet and there.

Was a pink carnation that somebody had thrown from the crowd and I could only only by focusing my my eyes and looking at that pink carnation could I get through that uh get through that that that that that that that funeral yeah um and the the words of her brother which will live forever uh in the annals what yeah what what a what a speech this was.

Listen let me what a eulogy but these people the I mean what are we to do about them I mean uh it's not writing it's typing that they're doing there's no there's no merit there's no merit in it it hasn't got any literary value it has journalistic uh uh minus points it's just vile uh dir tribe of hatred and um I I.

Can't understand why people would ever go and look at it what would be the point I mean there are how many Outlets of the media including this one and a very reputable one how many are there they they can be counted why on Earth would you waste your time your day looking at the uh frothing at the mouth of of people who if you met them in the.

Street you'd cross the road I think these these people kind of hunt in packs they get safety in numbers once they start saying oh Kate's not is is not really alive anymore that's a body devil oh she's lying about her cancer they all come in like a flock of birds and they gather and they carry and they fuel themselves for.
