There’s a lot to be said for diving down into a lovely, cosy rabbit hole once in a while. Firstly, they’re a good place to hide from the horror of reality; secondly, you might meet a rabbit. Actually that’s not “a lot”, in the grand scheme of things, but the world is awful, and it’s this or writing about the Tories’ self-interested destruction of the British state for the umpteenth weekend in a row, and it’s lovely and warm down here.
And so – I’m merely asking questions, you understand – what is going on with Kate Middleton? The line in January was that the Princess of Wales would be recovering from abdominal surgery until Easter, and it is not yet Easter, so from one perspective nothing is going on. From another, though – from the perspective of TikTok, and Twitter, and the less deferential foreign press, and an increasingly noisy chunk of the British one – what aren’t they telling us? Why haven’t there been more regular updates on what the surgery was and how her recovery is going? (If the people aren’t to be regularly updated on the state of their bowels, then what’s the point of even having royals?) What is really going on?
