"British Crown Princess Falls into Coma"…Royal Family Angered by Spanish News Report

Popular Spanish Broadcast Reports "Serious Complications Occurred"
UK Royal Family "Fabricated Story Without Attempting Fact-Checking"

When a popular Spanish news program reported that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (42), was in a coma after surgery, the British royal family was outraged.

On the 1st (local time), the British daily The Times reported that on the 28th of last month, the Spanish terrestrial channel Telecinco's news program Fiesta reported that Duchess Middleton had experienced a major crisis after surgery. That day was one day before the Duchess of Cambridge, who had undergone abdominal surgery last month, was discharged.

The Fiesta host claimed, "The Duchess was in a major crisis after surgery, and the medical staff had to give their all," adding, "I heard this on the condition of complete non-disclosure from a royal insider." He also said, "The surgery went well, but an unexpected serious complication occurred, and the medical staff had to make a bold decision to put the Duchess into a coma and even intubated her." He continued, "A lot of support was needed for the Duchess's recovery, and a hospital was practically set up at home."

The Times reported that a royal insider was outraged by these reports and strongly denied them. The royal insider said, "There was not even an attempt to verify the facts, and basically, it is a completely fabricated story."

Earlier, the Duchess of Cambridge underwent abdominal surgery at a hospital in London on the 17th of last month. The royal family stated the day after the surgery that "the Duchess's surgery was successful and she will be hospitalized for 10 to 14 days," adding, "According to current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to official duties until after Easter (late March)." Regarding this, the British BBC reported, "The royal family did not disclose detailed information but said it was not related to cancer," while noting, "However, considering the length of hospitalization and recovery and the tone of the statement, it is clear that the illness is serious." The Duchess attended all official activities, including the royal family Christmas service last year, up until just before the surgery.

However, major Spanish media widely cited and reported the coma rumors about the Duchess of Cambridge. Telecinco is a terrestrial broadcaster owned by Mediaset Spain, established by the Italian media company Mediaset. This channel has ranked number one in Spanish viewership for the past 13 years by featuring gossip shows, light entertainment, and reality shows.
