“It hurts, Kate is young […] Someone who has cancer at the base, regardless of their status, it’s sad, from a human point of view,” he said from the outset in an interview with Mario Dumont on LCN.
But, in addition to having to experience this difficult moment at a relatively young age, Princess Kate was deprived of her right to experience it all in private with her family, believes the comedian, who carefully follows the related news to the royal family.
“What is sad is how this matter was handled. We feel that they wanted to keep that to themselves,” he said.
The comedian thus clarified that the story surrounding the faked photo was handled in such a clumsy way that the situation degenerated, “the completely crazy theories [et] indiscreet” are multiplying.
“I feel like, to add to the sadness, Kate had to [d’annoncer qu’elle avait un cancer] while I have the impression that with such a severe diagnosis, you want to keep that to yourself,” he stressed, adding that he hoped that everything goes well for the Princess of Wales.
