- well, here we are again, back in front of the wall with some new images, unraveling the various theories about the tribulations of Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, as she underwent abdominal surgery and was diagnosed with cancer. this truly escalated extraordinarily, and Kensington Palace has a LOT to be sorry for....

"dying a death by a thousand cuts" you can NEVER take the swiftie out of the swiftologist (great video!!)
and the "twist the knife"
I thought the same thing. Haha
I mean, that was a turn of phrase before Tylor swift lol? Also a torture method actually.
@@Labinzel ok yeah but i was saying it in the context of taylor swift
Not the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck 😭😭 That line lives in my head rent free
an iconic moment in British TV history....
This is journalism! I can’t even imagine how long this must have taken to research. I found you via Taylor Swift content, but stay for ALL the content because you are so thorough and nuanced, and just a delight to listen to! Keep up the great work. 👏🏻 Thanks for all you do!
Same here - a good way to engage with opinions that I disagree with, because it is presented in a well-researched, well thought through manner. And all the Swiftea!!!
thank you so much Renee!! I love branching out and I love that you love it too
Same here. 😊
truly.. i came because of lana and now just love hearing him talk and express deep dives on what he finds interesting. it makes me feel interested, too !!
When she revealed she had cancer I felt pure rage on her behalf for how she’s been bullied into making this announcement. People have a right to privacy for their health. This woman has children and she’s probably been suffering for at least months before the surgery. And now she’s scared and has to explain things to her children and people are out here having fun speculating that she’s secretly dead or leaving her husband over an affair. It’s cruel and why I don’t go near most social media. I’m just too disgusted by people’s behavior.
I wish this was a full blown "crazy string wall" with red thread and pins. Swiftologist you are a gem!
This 😂😂
I laughed when I heard that the Palace is looking for a new communications manager. Good! Kate deserves better. I am on the side of respecting a sick persons privacy. All I needed to know what she is recovering from major surgery. I assumed a procedure went wrong or they found something. She should've been taken better care of by her communications team. Throwing the cancer patient under the bus is not a good look. I am not a monarchist, but I am a human that has assisted family members with recovering from major surgery. The royal family needs her more than she needs them. She is the most popular royal.
So true on that last point - they need her more than she needs them
so happy you still uploaded this… loads of creators are deleting their kate videos. excited to watch! i’d watch you read out your shopping list lol just love your content and charisma!!
edit: not the taylor swift reference 2 minutes in… this is why i love you
I rewrote and refilmed w the news. I think it’s a much better video now!!
Was the shopping list part a The Fault in our Stars reference? 😂
@@kelb7350 haha not intentionally! never watched it, maybe i should 🫣
Didnt have to worry about you uploading a video that aged badly because you do true reporting - you place your own subjectivety in their but thats not the core of the video - you give us dates, headlines and very well researched rhetoric, thanks for the update!
Also hi to the girl across from me in Pret who I saw watching this as well lmao
thank you so much will
NOT QUEEN TAMPON 😂💀💀💀💀
LMFAOOOOOO troll behaviour
I thought you wouldn't post it. Jokes on me cause I truly underestimated your journalistic skills. You keep doing you Zachary, love your content.
the camilla photo pls 💀 you're an icon for that. also this was so informative, can i just say as someone from scotland who's been passively watching the situation unfold through the news (both bc i no longer have twitter/tiktok and bc i don't keep up with the rf generally) you highlighted some things i had no idea about - like that photo of kate in the car with her mum, i had never even heard of that! just shows how much influence the rf still have over traditional media in this country. thank u zach, was a great watch as always
"GRACE AND DECORUM OF A REVERSING DUMPTRUCK WITHOUT ANY TYRES ON" love the reference, you legend. :)
William and her parents visited multiple times but were able get in and out without being seen just like how Kate entered and exited the hospital without being seen
probably true!
The royal family throw women under the buss, Meghan Diana etc. and I love how you speak to that aspect.
yup yup
I completely agree with this, but I also think every human being in the royal family is mistreated constantly, from when they are children. Obviously, women get the worst of it though.
such a great video Zach - amazing balance between empathy for Kate as a human and excoriating the out of touch and entirely useless royal family!
thanks so much jasper!!
best creator on youtube fr
I don't think everyone on her team knew. There were several article about senior members of their team not knowing where she was at, not knowing about the surgery, hadn't seen her. It makes sense now.
I don't think their press team knew what was going on. I think they want to keep it a complete secret in fears it may leak before they could tell the kids
You’re underrated in my opinion! I rarely find anyone I resonate with enough to subscribe. With your channel, I couldn’t fast enough! The research, the writing, the articulate delivery, amongst many other elements required for this line of work… it is all so appreciated. Thank you for giving me a space to take in this content category in an intellectual way. Smart and informative! I keep returning and maintain amazement. Shine on 💖
thank you SO much for noticing Kate!
@@theswiftologist exactly my thought, you truly have a gift and it’s very evident that you worked really hard to sharpen it
After watching her statement I understood all the mystery and secrecy behind… cancer is a HUGE shock in any family, even more in someone so young, I’m sure it took the palace by storm therefore they didn’t know and ofc didn’t have a plan on how to handle the situation. It’s really sad and I hope people just let her alone. It must be really hard to handle it around your young children, now imagine having to handle it in front of the entire world…
The zoomed up wall is looking so good! This video looks so good! And it is so good! Congratulations on your production!
Thank you diva!!
Zack, I discovered your videos around a year ago. I’m so grateful for the way you’ve expanded my understanding of media literacy. Such a well done video!
Yes! The media literacy that is taught on this channel.
I'm so glad to have helped
Appreciate the thorough breakdown because I could not make heads or tails of this whole thing on my own lol. I realized during Kate’s video that was the first time I had ever heard her voice..
hope this helped clear it up!!
I just want to say thank you for talking so quickly because people these days tend to drag their words to the point where even the 2x speed is too slow. This is perfect, no time wasted
I'm a fast talker. Some love it some hate it. Fellow ADHD girlies appreciate
Two weeks in the hospital is a long stay. It stood out in my mind. As a nurse, my mind went to hysterectomy or female issues. I'm sad she was forced to issue a message 😢
I bumped into your content for Taylor, but I subscribed because of you ❤
I appreciate the fact that you present your arguments in a clear and well-thought through manner - even tho I disagree with you on so much, you present an avenue to engage with the thought processes of someone who views things (almost radically) different from myself. While I do want to understand how people cognate things differently, the hysteria makes it very difficult to understand what they're on about. This has been incredibly insightful, especially with regards to how media and media manipulations are coming across. While you clearly operate from a specific paradigm, you are able to offer an almost meta view of different considerations. So educational. Appreciate this channel.
Thank you so much for engaging!
I genuinely enjoy your videos! I am from the UK and I am a royalist, so going into this video i was not quite sure how i was going to feel. But you did a really good job on the entire ordeal. Whilst i didn’t agree with everything you said in the video the main points about the atrocious way of how KP has handled it all were spot on! I’m happy that you uploaded the video and look forward to your next videos! 🥰❤️
Yes, same reason why I love his videos - I disagree with so much, however, he presents his opinions in a reasoned way that allows me to UNDERSTAND why/how other people are thinking about issues (versus the hysterical spewing on some other channels, who on earth are able to connect with THAT).
Thank you for watching!!
Guilty as sin of having been too amused by this but in the back of my mind there was always something nagging me that this could be worse than we thought however positive and optimistic me was always hopeful that this just was a poorly handled situation by her press people and that she was fine. They just didn't want to give two bad news at a time and this just went bonkers.
i think what made this worse was the statement beforehand that the abdominal surgery was for someone “not cancerous”, which I think was clarified by official sources after the king’s cancer announcements. i think if they hadn’t said that, more average people would have ASSUMED it was cancer or something very similarly serious, but because they had publicly ruled that possibility out prematurely, the average person thinking about why she hadn’t been seen or what they were hiding then was kind if like, “well, what ELSE could it be?” and ran wild with it
GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAAAAT Video Zachary, your perspective on the royals is super interesting in both your videos about them. I also think this is your best video of the year.
Wow thanks Bryson!!
Great video! Very thoughtful! I wish you’d touched on the adversarial relationship that William has with the press and vice versa a little more. William very much never wants to play ball with the press (for good reason given the nature of his mother’s life and death), and I doubt that even the most accomplished PR expert could truly sway him if he wanted to follow a certain strategy. He is after all the future king and their employer. Also think it’s interesting that the British press grumbled about Kate being the primary photographer for a lot of their early family photos. Only very recently did they start bringing in outside photographers to capture official family pictures. For her to take AND share a highly coveted family picture via Instagram rather than official press channels probably rankled some feathers alongside slower sales during her medical leave. Pictures of Kate are one of their biggest moneymakers, and I think they would have loved to have that highly-coveted picture taken by an outside photographer rather than Kate.
ooooh this is a great tidbit!! I didn't know William was AS adversarial as harry
@@theswiftologist oh definitely! They’re two halves of the same whole when it comes to the press. William just has the pressure of being the future king and doesn’t have as much wiggle room when it comes to telling the press that he hates them. They have to like him when he ascends to the throne because they do have a LOT of influence on public perception. Harry can tell them to shove it because it’s unlikely he will ever become king. It’s an interesting little game of chess they play with the British press. Thanks for another great video!
You have great presentation skills. I never get bored listening to your videos and you keep my interest throughout.
Thank you so much!!
Zach, thanks for this amazing lesson in media literacy! Wow❤ You always deliver the best analyses… In my POV, the fact that they were trying to hide Kate was the issue.. even the video showed a much younger Kate and now we know the video was way older than this Feb. / March. No one who is going through chemo, walks into a farmers’ market where other people are present with no mask… potentially engendering her own health… 😢 I wish Kate a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 she’s so young and has little kids💕🙏🏻
Zach: Kensingtonologist in chief! 👑👏🏻🏆🥇😍
Thanks for watching Mary!!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
Me:
listening to the details and being so focus of everything
Me:
looking randomly to the camilla photo and laugh
LMFAOOOO im a troll
My ADHD sat down and somehow shut up for a whole 45 minutes straight. I’m genuinely mind blown. 😂 I focused on every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 thing
Thank you for this 🙌 great journalism!
anytime doll
ALWAYS here for a good ole fashioned Irish opinion on the British monarchy ☘️ 💅🏻
Most Excellent. Maxim Kudos. Brilliant analysis AND delivery.
Thank you!!
I really enjoy these "chronically online" type videos where you break things down and present them to the audience
I was curious if your commentary would change post cancer confirmation. Thank you!!! I'll never get over how well spoken you are
It definitely changed so I rewrote my script!! Thank you
I was waiting for you to chime in 🎉
but of course...
'These are just lego people in a lego world - all you need to do is position them in the right place to make them look good' 😂😂😂😂😂Brilliant!!!
did I lie.....hahaha
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE !!!!!
!!!
The Brits are very private people, including about medical issues. My grandma battled breast cancer when my dad was a child, and he only recently found out about it!
Yeah there are definite class and cultural factors also at play here
Everyone is private about health matters lol, that's not Particularly cultural
Im really loving these type of videos from you!
I'm so glad!
me, staring at the depiction of camilla: oh this is gonna be a banger
I couldn't resist ksdfnjlsdnflsdf
AND YOU SHOULDN’T
Loved this video, but that Camilla poster had me shaking!!! 😂😂😂
I could. Not. Help. Myself.
I was so afraid you weren’t going to upload this one! So glad you did!
Famously anti-monarchy while displaying empathy is 👍🏻⭐️👌
had to be done !!
Obsessed with you. There’s no two ways about it. You’re absolutely in your element. It’s magic to watch.
thank you so much!!
I just love how well spoken and knowledgeable you are on all your topics, thanks for this video Zach!!
Thank you so much for watching!!
You are so goddamn fast with these topics !!
nodaysoffologist etc etc
Loved the Prince Harry memoir Swiftologist breakdown so this is delightful yum yum!!!
This is the sequel basically
this is a brilliant analysis 👏 👏 👏
thank you
I'm a Spaniard and Concha's Cameo made my day

Idk how you don't have 100k already! Always making well researched and well put together content.
thank you so much!! on my way
❤I totally agree with you..the only good thing about the monarchy is that it promotes tourism..bad thing is that it is a tax burden
honestly swiftologist continues to be the queen of journalism !!!
we all got crowns ...
loved this video! genuinely without ur channel i am an uncultured swine so thank you for always filling me (and others) in😭 ilysfm
Ive never heard her voice until now
The Palace PR team owe Kate, her famil and friends an apology for bungling this whole thing so badly. And no one else. No one is entitled to anyone's medical information, even if they are a royal in service to their nation.
That being said, they realy should have just disclosed it as soon as the medical information was complete, after Kate had told her own friends and family personally. When people are bored and feel like they're being lied to, they will resort to conspiracy.
And also, this is the value the Royal Family ostensibly still exists for in the 21st century: to be objects generating public discourse and revenue. It is dehumanizing for Kate personally, but that is also literally the job description. All the accumulated wealth and privilege is the payment. They decide whether they sign up. (Unless they are born to it, of course)
The public are absolutely owed factual information from the people that lead them by popular consent.
totally agree w ur last statement
loving these style videos and your insights here!
Thanks so much!
I love this format
31:23 the note and bravado on “crazyyyy” OK SINGERR
LMFAO
Incredible and thorough investigation/essay on how the monarchy has been operating for the past 4 decades to cling to its image.
It just goes to show the length the royal presse corps - and the overall monarchy - are willing to go to protect the men who are born in the family vs the women who marry into it.
I have many issues with Kate but I can’t believe how cruel they were to throw her under the bus for the photoshop fail given 1) how rampant conspiracy theories were, but 2) most importantly that she’s undergoing chemotherapy. Like isn’t there a royal aide or pr intern who could have taken the fall for this? I can hardly believe that Kate has the passwords to her social media accounts on an everyday basis, let alone has time to edit pictures while undergoing chemo.
Always love seeing you in my comment section Raph
Most of the theories though, were started from the US, and the likes of TMZ. I completely understand that the photoshop, and videos showing appearances at a different time etc.
The one thing I will say, is that NOBODY IS ENTITLED TO KNOW ANYONE ELSE'S MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. IT IS LIKE HIPA IN THE US. From a UK citizen, who is pretty much not bothered about the RF, in terms of gossip and news. But in this case, I am taking consideration of a woman a human being, with children and above all, as a previous healthcare worker, consent and confidentiality.
People are absolutely entitled to factual information from the people who are allowed to lead them. Their incessant lies are how we ended up here.
No, the theories started on social media. The US press reported them, but most of the damage was done on TikTok
Prince William should speak out and speak up and get MAD! He should tell the public how disappointing and inhumane all of this nonsense is. The Royal protocol is silly.
The interconnection of mistrust with the media, conspiracy theories, and AI manipulation seem to be leading us to a life along the lines of the simulacra by Baudrillard
The London clinic doesn't allow children to visit
I love this style of video, I always enjoy but this makes me think you will be a major cutting edge journalist in the future!!
thank you so much!!
pls do a video like this but with hayor timeline
Could not agree more Zach!!!!! Without the photoshopping, the terrible coverup attempts, it could've all stayed as at worst a fairly niche internet BBL joke. The Palace made things infinitely worse for Kate and for the life of me I don't know how they went so far wrong
Re:the right to privacy vs. the obligation to be transparent as public figures, I feel differently about how much Kate should be expected to divulge of her condition than I do for Charles. Not just because of Charles’s position as the head of state, but I think the ages of Kate’s children plays a big part here. Public figure or not, I think any parent should be given the time and space to explain a very serious medical condition to their children and give them the space to come to terms with that before it’s announced and becomes a topic of national conversation. I think that’s doubly true in a family that is still haunted by the trauma of a mother dying too young (albeit under VERY different circumstances). Now it sounds like Kate’s cancer was caught early and is treatable, but I doubt any elementary school age child hears the word cancer and doesn’t associated it with terminal illness. So I don’t begrudge their decision to wait until the kids were out of school on extended break to release this information into the world. To me that’s good parenting even if it wasn’t great PR.
That said, KP definitely could have handled this better. Letting Kate stay basically in hiding for three months was a ridiculous choice if they wanted to delay speculation on what might be wrong with her. The bigger the secret you’re hiding, the more important it is to make it look like everything is normal! And while I don’t think Kate should have been forced to do public events while she’s recovering from surgery, a few well chosen Zoom calls to charities Kate’s active in probably would have been enough to stave off the worst of this frenzy of speculation. With the way she stayed out of sight and then only appeared in a photoshopped image, I was honestly expecting that there was something wrong with her face. Like maybe she had taken advantage of the downtime she would need from her abdominal surgery to get some cosmetic work done at the same time (not that she needs it! I just know that’s how my grandmother tried to get away with getting her eyes done without anyone noticing😂).
i love your videos! never stop making these 🫶

I do think KP screwed this up, I can see it from Kate and William's point of view. My daughter was 9 when both her father and grandfather we diagnosed with cancer. The cancer announcement regarding King Charles needed to be told to C&W kids and if the timing is correct they may or may not have known about Kate's diagnoses. Even if they did they most likely didn't have all the information regarding treatment and even what kind and stage. So telling the kids about their grandfather and letting that sink in before telling their kids makes complete sense to me. We didn't tell my daughter what was exactly wrong with her Dad until we knew what kind, stage and treatment plans. So timing and just dealing with the aftermath of Kate's diagnoses plus the Kings one can see how the timing makes some sense. That said it does not absolve the PR at KP of their screwups or rather malpractice. They do really need a social media expert!
Social media expert on staff NOW
This was excellent! The one thing I would have liked more of your take on was that poor quality short video clip supposedly of William and Catherine out shopping. Especially because the woman in the video does not look like the woman giving the personal message.
ooooh yes I should've covered that more
Excited for this! I literally have not heard anything about this scandal (i live under a rock) so im ready to be educated! 📓🖊️ I just watched the Prince Harry Memoir video the ohher day and that was hilarious.
buckleeeee in
@@theswiftologist my mind is overloaded! What a disasterrrrrr. I'm gonna need like two more watches to understand this whole mess.
Hi Zach!
Thank you for the graceful, intelligent, respectful video about the topic. Mainly talking about the real problem: a really bad press team and the characters in the institution competing with each other from the inside.
thank you for watching!!
Love the vids well done on them
Thank you!!
She edited the photo and didn't inform her staff. She held her hands up and apologised, didn't want anyone else to take the fall. I believe she edited it because it was edited at their home in Windsor at 9pm 8th March and early Saturday morning. They don't have staff at their home, it's usually just the 5 of them unlike at Kensington palace were there are offices and meeting rooms. Now their is another photo that Kate took that was edited. I believe it.
I'm really enjoying this style of video!
Glad you enjoy it!
I think what some people don't get is that Kate and Wills ARE Kensington Palace. Yes they have a press team but ultimately I think their press release /prior/ to the conspiracy theories was adequate. There never should have been a "where's kate" movement because we knew where she was. She was at home recovering from surgery and from the recovery time provided we can safely guess it was a pretty major surgery. Social media and news outlets blew it out of proportion. As for her cancer diagnosis, I understand why they wanted to hide that until their kids were on Easter break and I do think it's a bit different to King Charles' diagnosis.
King Charles' is the Monarch - he has to be transparent with his health, yes Kate is a senior royal but at the end of the day she is NOT an heir to the throne. Another notable difference is KC doesn't have three young kids who attend school. I think the reason KP were trying so hard to squash the conspiracy theory rumours is 1. it is stressful for Kate who is supposed to be focusing on her recovery and 2. their kids were most likely hearing about it at school from their peers and friends and at their ages kids can be cruel and brutal. Having a sick mother is scary enough without seeing headlines speculating that your mother is in a coma or is on her death bed. I don't fault Kate and Wills for wanting to wait for the media storm about her diagnosis to happen whilst they could somewhat protect their kids whilst they were on break from school.
Given the conspiracy theories at the time, I do think the Mother's Day photo should have been checked more closely before release but mistakes happen and Kate & Wills are not the first nor the last to post an obviously photoshopped photo. I think knowing that Kate had had surgery (and now knowing her diagnosis) I think it is safe to say Kate might have been concerned about her appearance and over corrected. It was not their first family photographed to be accused of having been photoshopped so again, I think even this was blown out of proportion.
In all I would be very surprised if their press team even knew about Kate's diagnosis until a few days before the video announcement. I think Kate's diagnosis was a tightly held secret that only select family members knew about whilst the staff remained in the dark until Kate and Wills were ready to announce because as we all know, loose lips sinks ships and this was NOT something they wanted leaked.
the best ‼️
I’m not a fan of the royals but I do really like Kate. She seems like a wonderful woman and I will hope and pray she makes a full recovery.
the royal women are always far superior to the men in that foul bloodline lmao
oh boy, just right on time for my lunch... this will eat i know
You would be literally best royal commentator
Well I would just be hating ldskfnjsdfd
Love that ur in ur Nicole rafiee era
She isn't wearing her wedding ring in the Mother's Day photo because it's not her hand. Kates left index finger in reality is the same length as her middle finger. Also her left pinky is much shorter. No journalist has reported this yet. Funny right? Such a good video 💪🏻
I keep seeing people say ridiculously detail oriented shit like ‘notice she said cancer HAD been present, not IS present’ like… okay and? What is your point? What does that prove? People just aren’t willing to accept that there is a simple medical explanation for this after they made themselves look insane talking about clones 😅
Speak on it!
Do we have a right to know what's going on?
Yes, up to a point. Because our taxes are paying for them to do a state role, and if she's on sick leave for 3+ months they need to give us *something*. But this is where KP's incompetence comes in
Period
i'm so mad at the palace cause all of their decisions were so dump and counter productive and like poor kate having to be like"oopsies graphic design is my hobby and i made a very obvious error, silly ole me!" (as if they don't have the acces to the best retouchers?). Like the woman had surgery so yes maybe the image is touched up or from last year but they waned to post their little card. Ridiculous, embarrasing, on top of having to deal with her condition she had to take the fall for that? yikes. I think we can all agree that when the rumours really started to get crazy a simple statement of: "following a hard surgery the princess is having complications, she's being tested for cancer but she's in great hands. The family asks for privacy as she continious to recover, thank you for your concern. We will update you when we have concrete news" or whatever!
Eamon and Bec made a wonderful documentary about Becs chemotherapy on their RUclips channel.
I think in here in the uk we have been very respectful of the royal family over the years and given them privacy and even the press don’t bother them daily, so I think all the statements and photoshopped pictures that we have been given over last few weeks has left us wondering what is real. I doubt it was Kate sitting editing that Mother’s Day photo and think it’s time to get a new pr team 😳
they need a new PR team for sure lmfao
Why are Kensington and Buckingham palace in rivalry with the PR strategy? I don’t understand… one is being transparent and all and shading the other… 😮
Because they each have an agenda to make their senior royal look better, and the best way to do that is by making someone else who is also powerful look bad!
Can you do a video about the Nickelodeon discourse. Would love your take on it.
interesting idea!
