In early 2024, People Magazine reported that Kate Middleton wrote “every word herself” in her cancer announcement. Two years later, the same outlet says her sister, Pippa Middleton, helped with the speech. On the surface, that might sound like a small change, but it quickly sparked debate online because both stories came from unnamed palace sources. The focus has now shifted away from who actually wrote the words and toward something bigger: whether the reporting is consistent and why the story keeps changing.
