Perhaps so on the comments about Sarah Ferguson, but in this situation with Princess Catherine, I was referring more to the terrible rumors and attacks in US social media and among US gossip media.
Support for Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales

Yes, you are correct that happened & it shouldn't have. But the UK tabloids & the UK television media weren't exactly silent either prior to Catherine's cancer diagnosis announcement. Nor have UK media been uniformly supportive and non-intrusive about King Charles' cancer situation. And while it was the Russian media circulating reports KCIII died on St. Patrick's Day, after his diagnosis was announced there have been multiple stories published by UK sources about funeral plans for him. Not exactly the way to help someone of any age fight cancer!
So historically as well as currently it doesn't appear to me joking about the British Royal Family (OR about other high-profile individuals) is an American problem but rather is a problem in human society (at least in human societies where people are free to make jokes about high-profile individuals.)

More than half of this whole mess was American..you just have to look at the American celebrities joking about it to be honest. The British media in this case was not as bad as it could be and then X was a monster as well as TikTok .

Here in Canada the sentiment I hear, and agree with, is it is nobody's business, and everyone should leave Kate alone. Including Meghan's stepsister who said she is going to pursue Kate for a witness statement. Sickening. Jmo.

Seems to me, a lot was issued and/or repeated by the British press. Most of what I read about the royals comes from the British.
Thought this was to support Catherine, shame, it's turned into negative comments and blaming the Americans.
So sad and disappointing, as many and I do mean many Americans truly care about the Royals family, especially Catherine.
So sad ...

I wonder if we should open a book as to when they'll start showing up on Ebay?

They will be William's first public engagements since Kate made the shock admission nearly a month ago that she was undergoing chemotherapy for an as-yet unspecified form of cancer...

"Princess of Wales
becomes first member of the royal family
to be appointed a Royal Companion
of The Order of the Companions of Honour.
Sources say it is a symbol of the 'great esteem' the princess is held in by her father-in-law,
King Charles.
As well as being a personal thank you for her loyal service to the Crown since she married Prince William almost 13 years ago,
it is also an acknowledgment of her contribution to the arts."
Kate Middleton is honoured by the King for her years of public service
Kate, 42, has been made a Royal Companion of the organisation, which was founded in 1917 to recognise outstanding achievements in the arts, sciences, medicine and public service.

Kate Middleton has a new royal title that marks a first for the royal family
King Charles III awarded three new titles to members of the royal family, including a historic one for his daughter-in-law.
www.nbcnews.com
The palace announced a new list of honors on St. George’s Day on April 23, which included naming the former Kate Middleton a Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour.
The daughter-in-law of the king is the first member of the royal family to ever be appointed to the Companions of Honour.
The Order of the Companions of Honour was founded by King George V in 1917 to recognize outstanding achievements in the arts, sciences, medicine and public service, according to the royal family’s website...

From my country's MSM:
'There are no coincidences there.
I think they wanted to say that this wedding anniversary is a sad anniversary for them,
because it is happening in the shadow of Princess Kate's illness.
In the face of such a serious disease as cancer,
this is not a faux pas'."

The expert does not believe in coincidence.

"Charlotte's tribute to 'Gan-Gan':
Cancer-stricken Kate gets back behind the camera
to capture her daughter's ninth birthday portrait -
and it contains a hidden nod to the late Queen."
"With flowing blonde hair and her cheeky grin, Princess Charlotte is every inch the perfect Princess in her ninth birthday portrait.
And it would appear Charlotte paid a sweet homage to her late great-grandmother,
Queen Elizabeth II,
as she posed alongside pale pink flowers named in her honour.
The blooms -
known as Clematis montana var. rubens cultivar -
are one of the first plants named after the monarch,
as reported by Gardens Illustrated.
Kensington Palace typically releases portraits of the Wales children early in the morning to mark their birthdays."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLOTTE
Princess Charlotte birthday picture released Kate Middleton
Princess Charlotte's mother, the Princess of Wales, was back behind the camera to snap an image of her daughter on Thursday. It featured a sweet tribute to the late Queen.

The US & UK media has no shame. If they really cared about Katherine and not ratings and money...oh wait...that will never happen...A documentary is being made? WTAH???
TMZ urged to pull Kate documentary after Princess's cancer revelation
American gossip site TMZ is tonight facing pressure to pull its documentary about the Kate Middleton after the Princess of Wales revealed she was battling cancer .
May God bless Princess Katherine and help her recover & get her & her family through this rough time in her life. I can't imagine a more undeserving person ( besides my passed on fiancé) to get cancer in the prime of her life.
I think Louis looks just like Michael Middleton. Just look at pics of Mr. Middleton when he was younger, his early marriage days and it's Louis spot on.Louis looks like Mum
Charlotte looks like Dad
and
George looks like...Spencer
