Since her diagnosis, Duchess Kate has appeared publicly only twice: once in June during the celebrations for King Charles III's birthday and again on July 14 at Wimbledon.
According to British media, despite her ailments, the future queen keeps up with the events she has been involved in. She wrote about one such event on the internet, concerning the opening of spectacular gardens at the Natural History Museum in London.
The wife of Prince William issued a statement in which she spoke eloquently about the power of nature and its importance in maintaining physical and mental health.
I am hugely supportive of the Museum's commitment to create a special space which encourages people of all ages to reconnect with nature and learn more about how we can protect our natural world. (...) I know the power of nature to support our development and wellbeing, both by bringing us joy and helping to keep us physically, mentally and spiritually healthy. I hope these gardens will be inspiring and transformative for the thousands of people who visit — she stated on Instagram.
Duchess Kate spoke about the forces of nature. Her words caused a wave of speculation
Kate Middleton's involvement in promoting an ecology and healthy lifestyle initiative has been interpreted in two ways. Some concerned fans began to suspect that a patient undergoing chemotherapy might be open to alternative forms of treatment.
Her words about the power of nature affecting health were seen as an unplanned suggestion of ways to return to total health. This may mean that, besides traditional treatments, the Princess of Wales might be exploring alternative medicine.
The 42-year-old could use various methods, such as special exclusion diets, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and herbs. However, it's important to remember that doctors prefer scientifically proven methods of treatment and treat other options as a last resort.
In light of Duchess Kate's illness, each of her public appearances (including those on the internet) is bound to spark various, often surprising speculations. What do you think? Has this interpretation gone too far this time?
