'The last 12 months have been the most traumatic for the royal family'

“Caretaker”: When the late Queen Elizabeth II gave a speech to mark her 40th anniversary on the throne in June 1992, she admitted to the assembled dignitaries and watching public that her family had endured an “annus horribilis” – a terrible year. This sentence is considered an admission that even the dutiful monarch, who rarely showed emotion, felt the effects of several blows of fate. But the past 12 months have certainly been some of the most traumatic the Royal Family has experienced in their lives.

“It would be nice if the troublemakers and conspirators would apologize now”

“Corriere della sera”: “It would be nice if troublemakers and conspirators apologized now: but they won't. For two months – since the Princess of Wales left the public stage – they have dreamed of who knows what intrigues and secrets. The beast feeding on rumors and speculation should calm down.

“Dagbladet”: “Kate explains in the video that she has cancer and is now undergoing chemotherapy after a difficult time. The video is impressive. She speaks calmly and in control, but also looks like she's on the verge of tears. It's all too understandable. The secret is out, but the result is just sad. Did it maybe make someone feel guilty? Some people have thrown dirt on what has now turned out to be a seriously ill woman.”
