KATE MIDDLETON's Diagnosis OPENING FOR HARRY & WILL TO MAKE UP ... Says Royal Correspondent

Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis may be the one thing that can bring Prince Harry and Prince William back together after years of growing apart ... so says a Royal correspondent.

Chance To Reconcile
TMZ.com

Sean Mandell -- creator of the "Spilling Royal Tea" podcast -- shared his insights on "TMZ Live" shortly after Kate's health revelation Friday ... saying the silver lining in the devastating news may lie in the small window of opportunity for the two to finally patch things up.

Mandell reminds us Harry actually used to be quite close with Kate -- in fact, he practically third-wheeled loads of her public engagements with William ... this before Meghan Markle came along, which created an undeniable divide between the trio.

However, SM tells us that something of this magnitude has the potential to melt any icy feelings between Harry and William -- and he suspects there may be a reconciliation.

As we reported ... Harry and Meg sent their well-wishes to Kate Friday, not long after she revealed she was battling cancer. Unclear if any future visits across the pond are planned.

While Mandell believes Harry will reach out to Kate personally -- which may lead to some fence-mending between him and his sibling -- it's hard to tell if the 'Fab 4' will get back together the way they used to be pre-Megxit ... there's been a lot of bad blood since.

In any case ... Sean says the Royals will pull together one way or another -- especially on the issue of Royal duties. Lots of other Royals are stepping in, and he thinks even Harry might get back into the mix now that both his father and sister-in-law have fallen ill.

Time will tell, we suppose ... as Mandell says here, some things are bigger than old beef.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Wish Kate Well After Cancer News Praying For Healing, Privacy

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just wished Kate Middleton all the best amid her cancer diagnosis -- and they're especially hoping the public lets her deal with this in peace.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tell TMZ ... "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace."

BREAKING THE NEWS

As we reported ... Meg and Harry were out and about in L.A. Thursday night at an art exhibition -- and there was no indication that the Kate news was on their radar. Unclear if they were aware of her diagnosis or not, but in any case ... they're sending their love.

Of course, Harry jetted on over to London last month to see his father amid his own cancer diagnosis -- but again, we have no idea what King Charles knew about Kate's situation ... and what, if anything, may have been relayed to Harry at the time. His trip was very quick.

It goes without saying ... Harry and Will's relationship has been fractured in recent years -- especially after PH and MM left the Royal family to pursue their life here in California.

Still, this type of development trumps all that ... and that's reflected in H&M's statement.

Kate also asked for privacy during her announcement -- saying she and William are navigating this journey as delicately as they can ... especially with their children in mind.

The Princess of Wales did not disclose what type of cancer she's battling, but she says she's getting stronger each day -- which was evident in the video TMZ obtained of her out.

Psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy Kate Should Be Honest with Kids ... Over Cancer Diagnosis

Kate Middleton should be open and honest with her kids about her cancer diagnosis -- 'cause that'll be the best way for them to deal with it ... per a prominent expert in the field.

We spoke with Dr. Charles Sophy on "TMZ Live" Friday just minutes after the Princess of Wales revealed to the world she's dealing with cancer -- and he weighed in on how she and Prince William's children might be processing this heavy news about their mom.

HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH KIDS
TMZ.com

Sophy -- a renowned child and family psychiatrist -- says lots of communication with the children, even about adult matters, is the best route to help them understand what's going on  ... and so is listening, as kids will ask the questions they want and need answers to.

BREAKING THE NEWS
X / @KensingtonRoyal

Dr. Sophy says the Royal Couple needs to be transparent with their children -- 10-year-old George, 8-year-old Charlotte, and 5-year-old Louis -- and address the physical changes Kate may go through early on so the little ones aren't taken aback by things that may come.

On the issue of talking about really hard questions regarding the serious nature of the disease and how Kate's feeling throughout ... Sophy advises William and Kate to leave answers open-ended -- not promising a miraculous recovery, while also trying not to alarm the kids at the same time. He says it's a fine line ... one Will and Kate will have to walk together.

Since the young Royals are of different ages, some may question whether giving them varying levels of information is the right way to go ... but Sophy says no. He thinks William and Kate should give them all the same general information and let them process it how they need to.

Of course, Prince William will also be dealing with his own emotions following his wife's diagnosis ... and Sophy thinks it may bring up old emotions and trauma regarding the death of another famous Royal -- his mother, Princess Diana. Sophy says Will has to find the balance to weather his family through this storm.

Kate says she and her husband have already filled their children in on what's going on -- and that she's needed time out of the spotlight to do so correctly and with care.

Unclear how those convos have gone, but Sophy's advice is clear ... lead with the truth.

Kate Middleton Announces Cancer Diagnosis

update

1:56 PM PT -- A rep for the Teenage Cancer Trust -- an org that Kate has worked with in the past, before her cancer diagnosis -- tells TMZ ... "Our thoughts are with Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and we wish her all the best for her treatment."

They add, "If you think you have cancer yourself, it’s important to get checked out as soon as you can."

12:11 PM PT -- King Charles is extending his well-wishes to Kate Middleton during her cancer battle, with Buckingham Palace saying, "His Majesty is so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did."

They go on to say that after Kate's hospitalization, Charles has "remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks." BP continues, noting Their Majesties "will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time."

Kate Middleton just announced she has cancer -- breaking her silence on months of speculation over her health ... and it sounds serious.

The Princess of Wales showed face Friday in a video that Kensington Palace posted -- and in it, Kate addresses the public ... revealing she was diagnosed with cancer, something that was discovered after her abdominal surgery in January.

Kate says, "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment." She didn't address the specific type of cancer she's battling.

Kate also appears to allude to her lengthy absence, as she says she and Will have needed time to address this health issue with their three children -- all of whom are fairly young -- as she's wanted to assure them that she's going to be okay.

We broke the story, Kensington Palace was geared up to provide a major update on Kate's health -- something they've now done, and it's left many heartbroken as Kate battles this.

In her video, Kate asks for privacy during this difficult time as she undergoes chemotherapy.

The announcement ends months of speculation over Kate's whereabouts and health -- which kicked off in mid-January when the Princess of Wales was hospitalized for abdominal surgery ... a hospitalization that came out of nowhere, and which was supposed to end in 2 weeks.

Obviously, Kate was out of the public eye for way longer than that ... and the longer it went on, the more they pedaled conspiracy theories and fueled a never-ending rumor mill.

At first, all the talk and gossip about Kate started as relatively light -- namely, through a bunch of memes and jokes online ... where people poked fun about the situation -- but which only grew in seriousness the more that the Palace attempted to address all the conjecture.

At first, the Palace just issued a statement -- saying Kate was still recovering and doing well ... and then, not long after, we saw Kate surface in public for the first time ... showing up in a car being driven by her mother, where Kate was wearing shades and maintaining a low profile.

People didn't buy that was Kate, and the memes and jokes only continued -- with the conspiracy theories kicking into overdrive. After that, the Mother's Day photo fiasco occurred.

Remember -- Kensington Palace posted a picture that they said had been taken by Prince William .... showing Kate with her kids. However, it quickly became clear that the image had been doctored in Photoshop -- with several apparent alterations having occurred in editing.

Kate put out a statement in the aftermath of that ... copping to the fact she edited it.

TMZ / The Sun

Fast-forward to last weekend, when Kate and William surfaced at a farm shop about a mile from their home -- which became the first true sighting of Kate out and about on her own two feet. While she looked happy and fairly healthy ... many noticed her weight loss.

The cancer news now clarifies why Kate appeared so thin in our video -- she's in treatment for it ... and this is one of the known side effects, and it can take a heavy toll on the body.

This update is clearly devastating for her family and loved ones -- but also, for all of the UK as well ... of which she serves as a key Royal figure, and which she's served dutifully.

It also goes without saying ... Kate is now the second senior Royal to be battling cancer. Her father-in-law, King Charles, was also recently diagnosed with cancer -- although it's unclear what form he has, or at what stage it is. With that said, Charles has been carrying on with his duties of late.

Tough times for Kate and the Royal Family at large ... best wishes to her and all of them.

Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis is on President Biden's radar ... as the White House Press Secretary addressed the news minutes after it broke.

Karine Jean-Pierre kicked off her daily briefing Friday by acknowledging the White House heard the news out of Kensington Palace, and said their thoughts were with the Duchess of Cambridge, along with Prince William and the rest of the Royal Family

KJP wished Kate a full recovery, and then said she and the rest of the administration want to respect her privacy, and wouldn't comment further on the matter.

Jean-Pierre added that she wouldn't answer questions about whether the prez had spoken with any member of the Royal Family -- wisely anticipating what was coming next from the press corps -- and then moved on to other business.

BREAKING THE NEWS
X / @KensingtonRoyal

It seems the news caught the White House about as off-guard as the rest of the world ... the Royal Family made no indication of Kate's health until she posted the video this morning at 11 AM PT telling the world about her diagnosis.

As we reported, Kate had abdominal surgery back in January, and she says tests run after the surgery showed cancer had been present. She started a round of preventative chemotherapy and only recently resurfaced in public.

President Biden has a close relationship with King Charles -- discussing climate change last summer on JB's first visit to the UK after Charles was crowned King, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden actually met Kate while attending Charles' Coronation in May 2023.

So ya gotta imagine, if he hasn't already called, he will soon ... to offer well wishes.

Kate Middleton Doc Lays Out How Cancer Diagnosis Likely Unfolded ... All Clues Add Up to This

SHOWING ALL THE SIGNS
TMZ.com

Kate Middleton didn't disclose what type of cancer she's battling -- but one doctor who specializes in this field says he has a good idea of what it could be ... and how it was found.

Dr. George Crawford -- a general surgeon who focuses on bariatric, colon and minimally invasive procedures in the operating room -- joined "TMZ Live" Friday to discuss the Princess of Wales' announcement ... where she said cancer was found in the aftermath her abdominal surgery.

BREAKING THE NEWS
X / @KensingtonRoyal

While Kate didn't get into the details of the exact type of cancer that was found -- Dr. Crawford tells us that, in his professional opinion, it could likely be one of two.

Crawford says that based on Kate's age and other factors ... he speculates that doctors might've discovered either ovarian or uterine cancer -- that's his best guess anyway.

He's not suggesting he knows her exact diagnosis for certain, but Dr. Crawford says his personal experience leads him to land on these two possibilities -- and he even gets into how exactly this may have unfolded.

Dr. Crawford says it's possible that the medical team found something alarming in the middle of the procedure and probably had a biopsy run on it right then and there. Of course, Kate says cancer was discovered after her surgery -- but Dr. Crawford says it's not uncommon to get an answer back fairly quickly ... which can change the course of an entire operation.

He also weighs in on the fact Kate says she just recently started preventative chemo -- which Dr. Crawford says makes sense, seeing how much recovery time is needed for an invasive surgery like the one she seems to have undergone ... and how heavy chemo is on the body.

Kate says she's needed time to recover -- as well as time to address this serious matter with her three young children. The upside ... she says she's getting stronger each day, which sounds promising.

The announcement should hopefully end all the gossip that has poured out of this saga for the past several weeks ... because it's clear, she's dealing with something incredibly urgent.

Of course, best wishes to the Princess.

Kate Middleton Anuncia que tiene cáncer

Actualización

12:11 PM PT -- El Rey Carlos está extendiendo sus buenos deseos a Kate Middleton en medio de su batalla contra el cáncer. El Palacio de Buckingham dice: "Su Majestad está muy orgulloso de Catherine por su valentía al hablar como lo hizo".

Continúan diciendo que tras la hospitalización de Kate, Carlos "ha permanecido en el más estrecho contacto con su amada nuera a lo largo de las últimas semanas". El Palacio continúa señalando que Sus Majestades "continuarán ofreciendo su amor y apoyo a toda la familia a través de este difícil momento".

Kate Middleton acaba de anunciar que tiene cáncer, rompiendo el silencio luego de meses de especulaciones sobre su estado de salud y suena bastante serio.

La Princesa de Gales apareció el viernes en un video compartido por el Palacio de Kensington, y en él, Kate se dirige al público y revela que fue diagnosticada con cáncer, algo que fue descubierto durante la cirugía abdominal que le realizaron en enero.

Kate dice: "En enero, me sometí a una cirugía abdominal mayor en Londres y en ese momento, se pensó que mi condición no era cancerosa. La operación salió bien. Sin embargo, las pruebas realizadas tras la operación revelaron que había presencia de cáncer. Por ello, mi equipo médico me aconsejó que me sometiera a un tratamiento de quimioterapia preventiva, y ahora estoy en las primeras fases de ese tratamiento".

No se refirió al tipo de cáncer con el que está lidiando.

Kate también parece aludir a su larga ausencia, ya que dice que ella y Will han necesitado tiempo para abordar este problema de salud con sus tres hijos. Todos ellos muy pequeños y han querido asegurarles que va a estar bien.

Dimos la noticia, de que el Palacio de Kensington estaba preparado para proporcionar una actualización importante sobre la salud de Kate, algo que ahora están haciendo, y que sin duda ha dejado a muchos con el corazón roto.

En el video, Kate pide privacidad en este difícil momento mientras se somete a quimioterapia.

El anuncio pone fin a meses de especulaciones sobre el paradero y la salud de Kate, las que se iniciaron a mediados de enero cuando la Princesa de Gales fue hospitalizada para someterse a una cirugía abdominal, una hospitalización que salió de la nada, y que se suponía que iba a quedar resuelta en 2 semanas.

Obviamente, Kate estuvo mucho más tiempo fuera de los focos y cuanto más tiempo pasaba, más teorías conspirativas y rumores aparecían.

Al principio, todos los chismes comenzaron como algo relativamente ligero, es decir, a través de memes y chistes en los que la gente se burlaba de toda la situación. Pero después tomó un tono muy serio a medida que el Palacio intentaba hacer frente a las conjeturas.

Al principio, el Palacio solo emitió un comunicado, que decía que Kate todavía se estaba recuperando y que se encontraba bien. No mucho después, la vimos por primera vez en público, en un carro conducido por su madre, donde ella llevaba gafas y un bajo perfil.

La gente no se creyó que fuera Kate, y los memes y las bromas no hicieron más que continuar, con las teorías de la conspiración a toda marcha. Después de eso, ocurrió el desastre de la foto del Día de la Madre.

Recuerden, el palacio de Kensington publicó una foto que, según ellos, había sido tomada por el príncipe William en la que Kate aparecía con sus hijos. Sin embargo, rápidamente se hizo evidente que la imagen había sido manipulada a través de Photoshop, pues tenía varias alteraciones que sugerían algún tipo de edición.

Kate hizo una declaración al respecto, asumiendo que ella la había editado.

Luego, el fin de semana pasado, vimos a Kate y William en un mercado a una milla de su casa, en lo que se convirtió en el primer avistamiento real de Kate en mucho tiempo. Aunque parecía contenta y bastante saludable, muchos notaron su pérdida de peso.

La noticia del cáncer ahora explica por qué Kate estaba tan delgada en el video. Está en tratamiento y este es uno de los efectos secundarios que se pueden tener.

Esta actualización es claramente devastadora para su familia y sus seres queridos, si no para todo el Reino Unido. Kate es una figura real clave y ha servido obedientemente.

Tampoco hace falta decir que Kate es la segunda integrante de la realeza que se enfrenta a un diagnóstico de cáncer. Su suegro, el rey Carlos, también fue diagnosticado recientemente con la misma enfermedad, aunque no está claro qué forma tiene o en qué etapa se encuentra. Dicho esto, Carlos ha estado llevando a cabo sus deberes en el último tiempo.

Tiempos difíciles para Kate y la Familia Real, sin duda. Los mejores deseos para ella y todos los demás.

Kate Middleton Doctor explica cómo se pudo haber desarrollado el diagnóstico...

Muestra todas las señales
TMZ.com

Kate Middleton no reveló con qué tipo de cáncer está lidiando, pero un médico que se especializa en este campo dice que tiene una buena idea de lo que podría ser y cómo se encontró.

El Dr. George Crawford, un cirujano general que se centra en bariátrica, colon y procedimientos mínimamente invasivos en la sala de operaciones, se unió a "TMZ Live" este viernes para discutir el anuncio de la Princesa de Gales, en el que explicó que el cáncer fue encontrado durante su cirugía abdominal.

Rompiendo el silencio
X / @KensingtonRoyal

Aunque Kate no entró en los detalles del tipo de cáncer que se encontró, el Dr. Crawford nos dice que en su opinión profesional es probable que sea uno de dos.

Crawford dice que sobre la base de la edad de Kate y otros factores, cree que los médicos podrían haber descubierto, ya sea cáncer de ovario o de útero, esa es su conjetura.

Él no está sugiriendo que sepa su diagnóstico exacto, pero que su experiencia personal lo lleva a inclinarse por estas dos posibilidades, e incluso abordó cómo se puede haber desarrollado todo mientras estaba bajo el bisturí.

Es bastante fascinante: el Dr. Crawford dice que ve probable que el equipo médico haya encontrado algo alarmante en medio de la intervención y que probablemente le hayan hecho una biopsia en ese mismo momento. Dice que ese es el procedimiento general y que se puede obtener una respuesta bastante rápido que puede cambiar el curso de toda la operación.

También analizó el hecho de que Kate recién acaba de empezar con un tratamiento preventivo de quimioterapia. El Dr. Crawford dice que tiene sentido, considerando la cantidad de tiempo que se necesita para recuperarse de una cirugía invasiva como la que parece haber sufrido Kate, y además porque la quimioterapia es muy pesada para el cuerpo.

Por cierto, el Dr. Crawford pensaba esto desde el principio. En nuestro documental dijo que este era el escenario más realista, en el marco de todo el misterio que rodeaba a Kate.

Kate dice que ha necesitado tiempo para recuperarse, así como tiempo para hacer frente a esta grave situación con sus tres hijos pequeños. Lo bueno es que ella dice que está más fuerte cada día, lo que suena prometedor.

El anuncio debería poner fin a todos los chismes que se han vertido sobre esta saga en las últimas semanas porque está claro que está lidiando con algo sumamente urgente.

Por supuesto, los mejores deseos para la Princesa.

En su declaración de video, explicó que los médicos inicialmente no pensaron que su condición fuera cancerosa, pero descubrieron que sí tenía células cancerígenas posteriormente, y ahora está en las primeras etapas de una quimioterapia preventiva.

Recién el mes pasado, el Palacio de Buckingham había confirmado que el rey Carlos también fue diagnosticado con cáncer, así que con todas estas desgarradoras noticias de salud, se estarán preguntando si Harry y Meghan podrían que tener que pasar mucho más tiempo en el Reino Unido en el futuro previsible.

Harry y Meghan aún no se han referido a las noticias sobre Kate.

Kate Middleton Cancer Announcement Interrupts NCAA Tourney Game

Even the college basketball world took a momentary pause to digest Kate Middleton's cancer announcement on Friday ... with CBS interrupting its NCAA tournament coverage to bring the news to fans.

With around five minutes remaining in the FAU vs. Northwestern game ... Norah O'Donnell came on the screen to inform CBS' audience that Middleton had just revealed she's been diagnosed with cancer.

The broadcast then played around 30 seconds of Middleton's video explaining her prognosis.

O'Donnell spoke on camera for roughly a minute more ... before the network resumed its planned coverage of the big hoops game.

Northwestern went on to secure the win in overtime, beating FAU, 77-65, in the extra period.

Kate Middleton Palace to Make Major Announcement on Kate's Health

Kate Middleton's mystery disappearance from public view will be solved shortly, TMZ has learned, because Kensington Palace is about to reveal specific details on her health.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the British media has been briefed on Kate's condition, but there is a strict embargo on the information until 2 PM ET, 11 AM PT.

We're also told the Palace will release a video of Kate speaking on her condition.

Our sources say this statement is dramatic, clear and could well put all the controversy surrounding her disappearance to rest.

As you know, the Palace says Kate entered the hospital in January for "scheduled abdominal surgery," but spent 13 days at The London Clinic before returning home, where she has been recuperating.

TMZ aired a special Thursday night on FOX, in which Dr. George Crawford said 13 days suggests when doctors went in for the surgery, they may have found something else.

We're told the Palace will get specific shortly.

Remember ... this all follows several weeks of speculation and innuendo over Kate's whereabouts and her overall condition -- which has been kept under wraps until now.

TMZ broke the story ... video surfaced showing Kate out and about with William last weekend, and she seemed to be doing well. It was the first real sighing of Kate out in the wild, and on her own two feet, since she had her surgery back in January.

There've been other glimpses of her in cars -- but the Windsor Farm Shop seemed to be the first instance of her walking around. Like we said ... she was happy, and looked relatively OK.

Of course, this whole saga kicked into overdrive nearly two weeks ago when Kate posted a Mother's Day photo that featured her and her kids -- but which was later revealed to be inauthentic. All the conspiracy theories about Kate up to that point only doubled.

Now, it appears Kensington Palace is geared up to set the record straight, right from the Princess's mouth.

Stay tuned ...

Kate Middleton El Palacio hará un importante anuncio sobre la salud de Kate

La misteriosa desaparición de Kate Middleton podría resolverse en breve, según ha averiguado TMZ, porque el Palacio de Kensington está a punto de revelar detalles específicos sobre su estado salud.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que los medios de comunicación británicos han sido informados sobre el estado de Kate, pero bajo un estricto embargo que corre hasta las 2 PM ET, 11 PM PT.

También nos dicen que el Palacio dará a conocer un video de Kate hablando de su condición.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que esta declaración es dramática, clara y bien podría poner fin a toda la controversia que ha rodeado su desaparición.

Como bien saben, el Palacio dice que Kate entró al hospital en enero para someterse a una "cirugía abdominal programada", pero pasó 13 días en la clínica de Londres (The London Clinic) antes de regresar a casa, donde se ha estado recuperando.

Descubrimiento inesperado
TMZ Studios

TMZ emitió un especial el jueves por la noche en FOX, en donde el Dr. George Crawford sugiere que si un doctor recomienda 13 días de reposo puede ser porque han encontrado algo más durante el procedimiento.

Recuerden, todo esto se da luego de varias semanas de especulaciones e insinuaciones sobre el paradero de Kate.

TMZ / The Sun

TMZ fue el primero en compartir un video de Kate, donde aparecía yendo de compras con William el pasado fin de semana y parecía estar bien. Fue la primera vez que Kate estaba fuera y caminando sobre sus propios pies, desde que la operaron en enero.

Ha habido otros destellos de ella al interior de los vehículos, pero su aparición en la tienda de Windsor parecía ser la primera vez que podía caminar libremente. Como hemos dicho ... se veía feliz y parecía relativamente bien.

Por supuesto, toda esta saga se disparó hace casi dos semanas cuando Kate publicó una foto del Día de la Madre con sus hijos, pero que se reveló que no era auténtica. Todas las teorías conspirativas que había sobre Kate no hicieron más que duplicarse.

Ahora, parece que el Palacio de Kensington está preparado para aclarar las cosas, directamente de boca de la Princesa.

Manténgase atentos...

El Palacio De Buckingham Busca refuerzos en comunicaciones ... Quieren contratar a un asistente

El Palacio de Buckingham parece estar aprendiendo una lección de la saga con Kate Middleton, pues están buscando a una nueva persona que los ayude a manejar la relación con los medios, aunque alguien que va a ocupar un lugar relativamente bajo en la nómina.

Seguidores con ojos de águila descubrieron una oferta de trabajo que parece ser relativamente nueva y dice que el Palacio de Buckingham está contratando a un asistente de comunicaciones para manejar todo lo relativo a los medios de comunicación, incluyendo consultas de prensa y una serie de otras responsabilidades.

Es un momento interesante para hacerlo dadas las intrigas que rodean a la Princesa.

Entre otras funciones, el Palacio de Buckingham está buscando a alguien que proporcione apoyo administrativo, distribuya las credenciales a los medios para las funciones de palacio y: "Produzca contenido para una variedad de plataformas, incluyendo avisos de los medios de comunicación, actualizaciones en redes sociales y artículos en profundidad".

La oferta del Palacio de Buckingham no pide conocimientos de Photoshop, así que al parecer no habría que retocar las imágenes. Pero tener familiaridad con las redes sociales es definitivamente importante para la Corona.

Es relevante tener en cuenta que el Palacio de Buckingham no es la residencia oficial del príncipe William y Kate, sino el Palacio de Kensington. Buckingham se encarga del día a día del Rey Carlos, así que puede que no esté relacionado con Kate en absoluto.

De hecho, un representante del Palacio nos dijo en repetidas ocasiones que se trataba de un asunto de Buckingham y no de Kensington (lo cual es obvio) y se negó a decir si Kate-Gate había jugado algún papel en la publicación de este aviso de trabajo. También se negaron a decirnos cuándo se publicó por primera vez.

Por supuesto, muchos están asumiendo que el equipo de Buckingham está preocupado por la avalancha de preguntas que pueden tener los medios si algo similar le sucede alguna vez a Carlos, especialmente dado su reciente diagnóstico de cáncer, y que se están adelantando a un posible escándalo similar.

Hemos estado siguiendo el drama de la princesa Kate muy de cerca e incluso tenemos un documental, "TMZ Investiga: ¿Dónde está Kate Middleton?", que se emitirá en FOX esta noche a las 9/8c.

Una última cosa, echa un vistazo al sueldo por este trabajo. ¡Es poco menos de $32.500 al año en dólares, no es exactamente el rescate de un rey viniendo de la Familia Real!

Esperemos que la persona que contraten para el trabajo esté a la altura.

Buckingham Palace Looking For Press Reinforcements ... Hiring Comm. Assistant

Buckingham Palace seems to be taking a lesson from the Kate Middleton saga ... 'cause they're looking for a new worker bee to help handle the media for them ... albeit, someone who's gonna be relatively low on the payroll.

In a job posting that just got spotted this week by eagle-eyed parties -- and which appears to be relatively new -- BP says they're hiring a communications assistant to handle all things media for them ... including press inquiries and a host of other responsibilities.

It's interesting timing given the off-the-charts intrigue swirling around the Princess of Wales.

Among the other duties ... BP is looking for someone to provide administrative support, distribute media credentials for palace functions, and "Produce content for a variety of platforms, including media advisories, social media updates and feature articles."

Buckingham Palace's listing doesn't ask for proficiency in Photoshop ... so, no picture touch-ups will be required, it seems. But, social media fluency is clearly important to the Crown.

Important to note here ... Buckingham Palace isn't the official residence of Prince William and Kate -- that's Kensington Palace. Buckingham handles King Charles' day-to-day life -- so it may not be connected to Kate at all.

In fact, a Palace rep told us repeatedly this was a Buckingham thing and not Kensington (which is obvious) and refused to say whether Kate-Gate played any role in them posting it. They also refused to tell us when this first went up.

Of course, many are already assuming the team at Buckingham is worried about a flood of media inquiries if something similar should ever happen to Charles -- especially given his recent cancer diagnosis -- and that they're getting ahead of a would-be repeat scandal.

We've been following the Princess Kate drama pretty closely ... and we've even got a documentary -- "TMZ Investigates: Where is Kate Middleton?" airing on FOX tonight at 9/8c.

One last note ... check out the pay for this gig. It comes out to just under $32,500/year USD -- not exactly a king's ransom coming down from the Royal Family!

Here's hoping whoever they bring on for the job is up to the task.

'90 Day Fiancé' Stars Mixed on Deporting Prince Harry ... No Special Privileges!!!

Donald Trump's hinting at deporting Prince Harry again, and opinions on the possibility are split -- even among reality stars who've famously emigrated to America to find bliss like Harry did.

We spoke with several stars from the hit show "90 Day Fiancé" about the former president suggesting he'd consider booting PH, if reelected -- and while they're split on whether that should happen, they all agree he shouldn't be treated differently than any other citizen.

Jesse Meester, star of season 1 of "90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days" told us he's lived in this country since coming over from Amsterdam, and he's never had any issues 'cause he says he doesn't break the law ... an easy way to stay out of trouble.

Jesse adds he's all for DT's strict approach to the country's border crisis, and he believes the former -- and possible future prez -- is the only competent politician out there.

And, Larissa Lima -- season 6 star of "90 Day Fiancé" who came to the U.S. from Brazil -- said she feels it's a huge privilege to get to live here, and not even famous people like Harry should get special treatment.

Despite that, LL also told us she's not for deporting the Duke of Sussex immediately ... adding that seems more than a little extreme.

NO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES

We also spoke to Sam Wilson who starred in season 10 of '90 Day,' and he got candid about his own struggles as a former drug addict ... saying he's always judged for his past drug use. But, he's still against Harry getting special treatment, noting other people wouldn't get that kind of exemption.

Remember, Donald Trump sat down for an interview with GBN broadcaster Nigel Farage where he straight-up said Prince Harry wouldn't get special privileges if he lied about previous drug use on his Visa form to get into the country.

Harry talked extensively about using drugs in his book "Spare" -- something, theoretically, he would have had to disclose before getting a visa.

The speculation is he did not, and would, therefore, be subject to deportation.

The "90 Day Fiancé" crew seems most concerned with celebrity justice -- so, their view is ... if Harry lied, then they say he's gotta go.
