Not sure they were new, but they had to be suddenly modified to suit a king of very different dimension, and Camilla's likewise.

(Okay, I just realised I have no idea if the King's negotiations in the UK were also conducted in Canada, re: Camilla being officially Queen. No doubt there are #RoyalWatchers who can explain…)

All you #RoyalWatchers have prolly finished your 7th rereading of #Spare, the book by that one that took off to the benighted to become a #HollywoodCelebrity?

Spare has the common meaning of "an object held in reserve in case the one currently performing the task fails".

And I can see how this'd apply to that prince.

But there's another meaning along the lines of "fly off the handle", "storm with rage", "maddened (with anger)".
This feature in the book?

Seeing a little of it on Mastodon

#BreakingNews for the #RoyalWatchers

#KateMiddleton has announced that she has #cancer and is beginning chemotherapy.🙏

Her previous abdominal surgery did not initially indicate the disease, but tests done after that surgery, came up positive for cancer cells. No specific details about the type or location of the cancer have been given.

(In this linked video, she makes the announcement herself. Note to all the conspiracy theorists that she has five fingers on both hands at all times.)

Whatever your views on #TheRoyals, any cancer is a nightmare. My prayers go up for her and the many others dealing with it.🙏 Hopefully, this news will be used to help educate the public and to help push both for better prevention and for a cure. #FuckCancer
