Julian Rodriguez Pardo: Kate’s Flu

When Kate revealed the truth about her health last Friday, she explained that she needed to come to terms with the news she received before telling the world. Not only as a person, but as a mother of three, I think she aspires to transcend everything. For there is no doubt that the overwhelming emotions that arise when one feels that something as seemingly mundane as life is indeed teetering on the edge. While some of our reporters wonder whether the mother of the future King of England has the right to keep her health a secret, I’m almost certain she’s questioning something more fundamental: Will I get to see my child grow up?

In 1890, American lawyers Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis first proposed the legal concept of privacy—our right to privacy. They define it as the right to be left alone. Many years later, in 2004, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the public also had the right to a living space beyond their control after the media published some photos of Carolina de Monaco’s private life. The public eye. How else can life be lived?

Now we know Kate sent her official stand-in to go shopping for organic vegetables with her husband, so we know the stand-in exists; she didn’t, in fact, undergo stomach surgery because her husband, William, had a crush on Roshan Mrs. Bury was hospitalized for mental health issues rather than double-officer infidelity, duh! Most importantly, she carefully choreographs official royal poses to make her and her family look as beautiful and flawless as possible in public. Oh, how stupid! Lena Morgan would say so.

The complete transparency of King Charles III of England in announcing that he had cancer did not seem to save him from the clamor on social networks and the media. Buckingham Palace had to deny news of the monarch’s death just over a week ago. So maybe the problem isn’t Kate’s, but ours.

If Nacho Abad calls me about “Code 10” (or Albarez comes to the Foreign Office for consultations), I will document myself thoroughly. So I asked my eldest nephew what he thought about the matter. He did write, “When someone is very ill, that is, with the flu, and she’s going to be a queen like Kate, the future Queen of England, sometimes you have to leave her alone.” So there’s Several Zs. Tired of it…, I guess.
