Rant #3,317: Enough Is Enough

I am not a royal watcher; in fact, I usually could care less about what is happening to these people across the pond.

Honestly, I just don't get the fascination we have with the royals at all; we could have had our own king, but George Washington and those that founded this country did not want to go that route.

But the media firestorm around Princess Kate Middleton's supposedly manipulated family photo that she released a few weeks ago piqued my interest as this mountain-out-of-a-molehill story crested into something much worse--

The 42 year old and mother of three young children, and the future queen of England, has cancer.

The Princess of Wales said in a video to the world that she is undergoing therapy and hopes to beat this thing.

She did not reveal what type of cancer it is.

Don't you think those that made such a worldwide kerfuffle related to the supposedly doctored photos of her family should feel completely ashamed of themselves now that the real story has come out?

Is there no shame anymore?

That question is a good one, and I don't know the answer to that query, especially after this mess unfolded.

Good luck to her; I am sure she will kick this thing through the goal posts and leave it all in the dust.

But those people who pretty much goaded her into the big reveal over utter nonsense; if their goal was to squeeze out from the Princess the real information, then they succeeded in doing so.

But at what price to their own consciences, if they, in fact, have consciences.

Now that the information is out, leave this woman alone.

Yes, she is a public person via her royalty, and eyes will always be on her, but the stare should not be as vigilant as it was, when she was being picked apart due to a family photo, of all things.

Enough already.

Let's put this story to bed and give this woman time to heal.
