Princess Catherine posted a video on social media explaining why she had withdrawn from the public eye since January. Peter Bergen says the fact that Catherine made her health concerns public has nothing to do with the increasingly screaming, invasive speculation about her condition.
He says Catherine doesn't specify which surgical procedure and what type of cancer was involved is the only bit of private protection she has left at this moment. Bergen: Why Kate not come to terms with her diagnosis, but also publicly expose herself to ridicule is puzzling.
