The Internet is once again abuzz with conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis. Social media platforms exploded after a September report by Sky News’ royal editor, Rhiannon Mills, resurfaced, suggesting Middleton only had “pre-cancerous cells.”
What Sparked the Debate?
In March, the Princess of Wales revealed that tests following abdominal surgery had found cancer, leading her to undergo preventive chemotherapy. However, Mills’ report described her condition as “pre-cancerous cells,” sparking confusion and debate.
Palace Silence Fuels Speculation
The controversy gained traction as royal watchers noted the palace’s unusual silence on clarifying the report. Typically quick to respond to inaccuracies, the palace’s lack of intervention added fuel to the fire. A medical expert explained that cancer and pre-cancerous cells are distinct, deepening public skepticism.
Social Media Backlash
I don’t know if she had cancer or pre cancer cells.
But either way…I’ve been attacked in the most vicious way.
Just because I asked why she looked aged. Just THATFCK MY LIFE. https://t.co/EqBMGmumdM

British commentator Narinder Kaur also reignited discussions, tweeting about the unclear nature of Middleton’s diagnosis. Kaur faced backlash earlier this year for commenting on the princess’s appearance, which she said triggered vicious attacks online.
Ties to Kate’s Disappearance
Middleton’s prolonged absence following abdominal surgery earlier this year had already raised eyebrows. Speculation about her health, coupled with debates over a royal family photograph, has kept the rumor mill churning.
A Timely Royal Appearance
The resurgence of these conspiracy theories coincides with Middleton’s recent attendance at the Remembrance Day service, her first major public event since announcing she was cancer-free.
