The British royal family has been plagued by a slew of conspiracy theories in recent weeks, particularly focusing on Catherine, Princess of Wales, and her post-surgery recovery. Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has criticized the constant speculation and rumors surrounding Middleton, calling them ‘extremely unhealthy’ and nothing more than ‘old-fashioned village gossip.’ This comes as the Labour Party leader, Keir Starmer, emphasizes the need to move away from baseless theories and focus on the duties of the royal family in the United Kingdom. The Archbishop’s words serve as a reminder that individuals, regardless of their status, deserve privacy and respect in times of illness and recovery, without the burden of having to constantly prove themselves to the public.
