Douglas Murray erupts over Princess Kate scandal

Princess Kate has been snapped out and about in the past week since her planned hiatus from public life due to abdominal surgery.

But these sightings are doing nothing to curb wild conspiracy theories that are spreading through the mainstream media and social media like wildfire.

Sky News All-Star Douglas Murray has been one outspoken commentator that is slamming the wild rumours about Kate, calling for calm and common sense when discussing the issue.

What "Scandal" ? She edited a photo of her and her children. The media has lost their minds. The bullying and vitriol is beyond the pale.

Wishing Princess Catherine speedy recovery ❤ much love to her

News Flash" NO sane person is saying or thinking any of this.

[gloriadenning]

If i were the Princess of Wales i would post no more photos. End of story. Ungrateful damned press !!

[Missy]

The way some media outlets attacked Princess Catherine was detestable

[notsure]

Princess Catherine, please! Ignore horrible Tessa Dunlop. Douglas Murray is right! Give Princess Catherine a break! Get a life! Jeez! Who cares if Princess Catherine edited a photo! What a lot of ridiculous nonsense over nothing. Bravo, Esther!

[lexchambers]

Just let the lady recover from her surgery, what alot of BS over nothing

Try as I might, I do not understand what unleashed this massive aggression directed toward Princess Catherine about the delightful photo she shared with us all, I only saw a warm and smiling picture of Princess Catherine and her delightful children, with wishes for a happy Mother's Day. How did so many powerful organizations join in the bullying? What could have prompted firms such as Reuters to join in this disturbing aggression? Why did so many people jump on board in the attack? Enhanced and photoshopped? I believe that one could safely say that the thousands of photos which Meghan releases of herself have likely been airbrushed and photoshopped beyond all comprehension. It is my opinion that if a photo of Meghan were released without massive enhancements, it might be a picture of a middle-aged woman with wrinkles and acne. Just my opinion, of course, based upon some amateur pictures taken of her by a fan, which were released without enhancements. It is my understanding that Meghan pitched a fit and the accusations flew that it was a deliberate attempt to make her look bad. Everyone from professional photographers to we legions of amateur users of our smart phone cameras have done enhancements of all sorts. I cannot understand for the life of me how firms like Reuters and other mainstream news groups joined in issuing "Kill orders" on that harmless photo of a much-loved royal mother and her children. Why have they not issued "Kill orders" on the millions of photos of celebrities released worldwide that have been practically reincarnated to look like perfect paper cutouts of the subjects of famous, infamous and unknown alike. It is both baffling and ominous to me.

For heaven's sake, leave Princess Catherine alone to recover.

[kimarmstrong]

Oh Tessa use your common sense. The original photo probably had an unflattering picture of one of the children, if sent out then they could be teased by people like you for a number of years.
Catherine has been taking photos long before she even met William, her Dad taught her. For a so called intelligent woman why are you still calling Catherine Kate Middleton it’s crass and ignorant.

[srice]

The world is falling apart so why is this a scandal? Who cares! I hope she gets well soon and let's get back to real problems!

[coulterry]

Tessa Dunlop talks a load of rubbish, for one thing have some respect and address Catherine by her proper title and she's not just taking a bit of time off, she's on medically advised sick leave if you like. Catherine has done her utmost as a working royal, she and William are devoted and she has long accepted her ongoing role in the royal family which will one day lead to her becoming Queen and so far she's done a brilliant job and does not deserve the scrutiny she's had over her health. If all this bullying leads to her and William pulling back a little on the time they give to the press and public I wouldn't blame them one bit

[carolparker]

LEAVE HER ALONE - LEAVE HER TEAM ALONE. STOP BULLYING THEM! If I were Princess Catherine I would do every thing possible to avoid the media for a VERY LONG TIME.

[happytoseeya]

If the press stopped asking " how" this happened and actually investigated "who"...Bingo! Meghan Markle. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what any journalist worth his salt could uncover.

[agnesvanya]

Tessa Dunlop has no credibility at all and she's a devoted apologist for Meghan and Harry. Why should the Princess of Wales dance to her tune? Please don't waste our time with her any more.

[IonaBaldock]

Tessa is a bully. she just can't resist making sub-nasty comments about the royal family

[hazelmiller]

So it's a scandal because she had an operation..maybe lots of women has had the same...but not o the news..nobody's business leave the lady alone to recover.

[popizitha]

Please Tessa Dunlop, what about Megan photoshop

[jody-annesullivan]

Who is this Princess Kate you speak of?? Her name is Catherine, please have some respect and use it.

[RaymondCore]

Does Kate have to die from complications of abdominal surgery to satisfy these vultures. She has gladly served as a representative of the RF with a smile and if she needs more time for her own self why does she have to explain herself? Being in the public eye is stressful and maybe she needs a break.
