Lots of follow-up commentary after people found out Kate Middleton is being treated for cancer. Colbert took time on Monday to offer not exactly an apology but at least an acknowledgement that he went a bit too far with his jokes a couple weeks ago.
No one wants to make light of someone’s cancer diagnosis, but at the time Colbert and others didn’t know of the diagnosis. All they knew was that there was yet another big kerfuffle, this time over a lack of Kate sightings and a doctored photograph, so they may have chalked it up to the usual royal drama and ridiculousness.
They were operating on the normal footing of assuming much ado about nothing and making light of the breathless craziness which often accompanies any news of what’s going on in Windsor Castle and wherever William and Kate live.
There’s a price to be paid for being in the royal family. One might wonder if they’d part with the headaches if it weren’t for all the country estates and other perks, which must make it a bit easier to live in a fish bowl in the 21st century.
