Good morning Graham. (at least it is Saturday morning in California) I see your point about celebrities being a farce. I am very sorry that King Charles and Duchess Kate have cancer - I am more sympathetic to Kate than Charles, having lost two daughters to various cancers. And I guess the public has a right to know this. But I truly don't give a damn about any other aspect of theirs or any other celebrity's life. I don't know about news media in Europe, but in America, the news media pays more attention to dumb-ass celebrities like Trump and his merry gang of MAGAts than they do about real news. So, I am more critical of American journalists than European.
I agree, Graham, this is as offensive, and self congratulatory as the people they claim to be admonishing. It's a classic I'm sorry - but look at me see how understanding I am.

I mostly read American journalists, but later on Saturday I, for the first time ever, read an article in the New Yorker that I disagree with. See how you get on with this dreadful American journalism, which, would you know it?, pleads in favour of a moral standpoint on the royal family: https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-the-uk/the-moral-plea-behind-kate-middletons-cancer-disclosure
