Dr. Clive Peedell, a cancer specialist in the United Kingdom, criticized a UK Telegraph article praising Kate Middleton's appearance at Trooping the Colour. The article, written by Allison Pearson, described Middleton as a "trouper" for attending the event despite her recent cancer diagnosis. Peedell took issue with Pearson's tone, particularly her reference to cancer patients as "lesser mortals." Many cancer survivors and patients expressed outrage at Pearson's comments on social media. Pearson, known for controversial statements on COVID-19 and climate change, faced backlash for her insensitive remarks. Despite Peedell's attempt to educate her, Pearson's history of inflammatory comments led many to question her credibility. Middleton's appearance at the event raised speculation about her health, as she has not disclosed details of her cancer type or treatment. Peedell's condemnation highlights the importance of sensitive and informed journalism when covering health issues.
