  1. I wasn't aware the royal family had "down time". Meghan Markle LITERALLY had just given birth and the press was hounding her for EVERYTHING. She barely had a chance to shower off her baby's afterbirth before the press was hounding her. So WHAT is this man talking about? What "unwritten rule" did the press break? 🤔I'm American & even I know the royal family has no "down time". They're on the clock 24/7. At least, from what I'VE understood. If I'm wrong someone correct me.

  2. If these two folks knew they were being filmed, if that's what they planned, they were very lucky that Nelson Silva… only one person in the world…filmed them, at that time, in that part of the shop.

  3. M C & times radio give your heads a wobble why should our Prince & Princess of Wales kow tow down to you second rate news hacks. We've all been told by the palace that Catherine will be back after Easter once the children have returned to school. Keep up with the real facts in the real world…

  4. I'm a British born Pakistani in England and I'm absolutely sick of watching the media harassing the royal family like this they've been doing this for too long now the government needs to take some action against the media not to publicise about the royal family unless it was Andrew because you wouldn't want to pay someone if you've done nothing wrong

  5. Interesting how this guy finds it appalling when Kate's being trolled, and dragged online, but when it is/was Megan and Harry, he encouraged it, and never criticized it.
    If you're a public figure you're not entitled to privacy. That's what everyone said about Harry and Meghan. We can't have double standards now, can we?

  6. If Princess Catherine has had a hysterectomy in hospital as many have speculated, she will be required to rest in bed for six weeks at a minimum. Being out and about now would likely not be recommended. Also, she is not a celebrity in the technical sense of the word and so her information will be kept private at this time for her comfort and protection.

  7. I am absolutely horrified and disgraced by the media and those in the lime light that has forced a sick woman to reveal something that is so personal. Leave her alone and let her heal. Shame on you all. He's just jumping on the band wagon for publicity shame on them.

  8. Cole is so difficult to listen to. The "unwritten rule" predates I-Phones and was applicable to Paps. There's also an "unwritten rule" that applies to privacy for medical information and Cole is advocating Catherine give up her privacy. In the midst of the hullabaloo over her surgery and recovery, Cole thinks a bulletin about her health will quell the conspiracy claims. He is so wrong and ought to know better but, as ever, he is clueless. I wonder if he still thinks Michael Middleton was a pilot. If I never hear or see him again it'll be too soon.
