2024 is fast proving to be an annus horriblis for the British royal family.

Prince Andrew’s former wife is also dealing with her double cancer diagnosis and it also emerged that the spouse of a minor royal, took his life a few weeks ago.
But all this, it seems, pales into comparison with what’s happening to Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
