Stars around world call for princess to be allowed privacy

HOLLYWOOD star Jamie Lee Curtis and TV presenter Davina McCall are among the celebrities who have called for the Princess of Wales to be left alone amid her cancer diagnosis.

Oscar-winning actress Curtis, 65, was reacting to the surge in conspiracy theories on social media about the princess’s health following her withdrawal from public life.

The Princess of Wales revealed on Friday in a video message that she is undergoing “preventative chemotherapy” for cancer, which was discovered following an operation.

She previously had major abdominal surgery in January, which Kensington Palace said was successful.

Halloween star Curtis wrote on Instagram: “Can we please just STOP with this bulls**t conspiracy theory? This is a human being with young children, and clearly some sort of a health issue. That is a private matter. Do we not have better things to do and more important things to think about and be concerned about than this? It’s a really low point in our society when there are SO MANY crucial issues that need our attention.”

The American actress wrote: “And now Princess Kate has told us about her health and now we should send nothing but our best wishes to her and her family and focus on our own lives and the lives of people directly related to us, and the myriad life-threatening issues to our children that we can focus on.”

Underneath her post, musician Rita Wilson and McCall applauded her remarks.

McCall wrote on her account: “They’ve been through enough. Now let’s give them some space to recover.”

In an emotional message, Good Morning Britain (GMB) presenter Kate Garraway wrote on Instagram: “So brave of Catherine, HRH Princess of Wales to share the tough heartbreaking news of what she has been going through and how she has been trying to reassure her children and keep a sense of safety around them when all their world has been rocked.

“Sending love and support to her and her beloved family and to all facing terrifying challenges on this beautiful spring morning.”
