Kate Middleton was offered an apology in advance of the Easter Sunday celebrations.

The Princess of Wales announced the previous week that she has begun cancer treatment after an abdominal procedure that was performed in January revealed cancer.

There had been much speculation about the health and whereabouts of Princess Diana before this announcement. Royal Commentator Lee Cohen said that this story was important even in America.

Cohen said to Nana Akua, the host of GBN America that he had “personally apologized” on behalf “despicable celebrities” in the States. He argued many took part in the online conspiracy surrounding Kate.

Cohen said that the digs at the Princess of Wales were “at her expense” and denounced the “cheap photos” taken by celebrities in America.

Blake Lively was among the celebrities who took to social media in order to apologize for participating in the viral conspiracy theories surrounding Kate. She admitted that she felt “mortified by her actions” after learning about the Princess’s diagnosis.

Lively said to her Instagram followers, “I know no one is interested today, but I felt I had to acknowledge it.” I posted a stupid post about the ‘photoshop fail frenzy’, and, oh man, today, it has made me mortified. I’m sorry.”

Cohen said he was “astonished to see celebrities take responsibility” and suggested that they might have “experienced a blow to [their] own popularity”.

The Princess of Wales requested “privacy” in her statement following “an incredibly difficult couple of months for my entire family”.

The Princess stated: “This came as an enormous shock and William and I are doing all we can to manage and process this privately, for the sake of our young family.”

The service this Sunday at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, will mark the return of King Charles to public view after almost two months. Reports earlier stated that Kate Middleton and her family, including Prince William who is battling cancer as well, would not be able to attend the event.
