Not the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck 😭😭 That line lives in my head rent free
an iconic moment in British TV history....
"dying a death by a thousand cuts" you can NEVER take the swiftie out of the swiftologist (great video!!)
and the "twist the knife"
I thought the same thing. Haha
I mean, that was a turn of phrase before Tylor swift lol? Also a torture method actually.
@@Labinzel ok yeah but i was saying it in the context of taylor swift
When she revealed she had cancer I felt pure rage on her behalf for how she’s been bullied into making this announcement. People have a right to privacy for their health. This woman has children and she’s probably been suffering for at least months before the surgery. And now she’s scared and has to explain things to her children and people are out here having fun speculating that she’s secretly dead or leaving her husband over an affair. It’s cruel and why I don’t go near most social media. I’m just too disgusted by people’s behavior.
This is journalism! I can’t even imagine how long this must have taken to research. I found you via Taylor Swift content, but stay for ALL the content because you are so thorough and nuanced, and just a delight to listen to! Keep up the great work. 👏🏻 Thanks for all you do!
Same here - a good way to engage with opinions that I disagree with, because it is presented in a well-researched, well thought through manner. And all the Swiftea!!!
thank you so much Renee!! I love branching out and I love that you love it too
Same here. 😊
truly.. i came because of lana and now just love hearing him talk and express deep dives on what he finds interesting. it makes me feel interested, too !!
I laughed when I heard that the Palace is looking for a new communications manager. Good! Kate deserves better. I am on the side of respecting a sick persons privacy. All I needed to know what she is recovering from major surgery. I assumed a procedure went wrong or they found something. She should've been taken better care of by her communications team. Throwing the cancer patient under the bus is not a good look. I am not a monarchist, but I am a human that has assisted family members with recovering from major surgery. The royal family needs her more than she needs them. She is the most popular royal.
So true on that last point - they need her more than she needs them
"GRACE AND DECORUM OF A REVERSING DUMPTRUCK WITHOUT ANY TYRES ON" love the reference, you legend. :)
NOT QUEEN TAMPON 😂💀💀💀💀
LMFAOOOOOO troll behaviour
I don't think everyone on her team knew. There were several article about senior members of their team not knowing where she was at, not knowing about the surgery, hadn't seen her. It makes sense now.
You’re underrated in my opinion! I rarely find anyone I resonate with enough to subscribe. With your channel, I couldn’t fast enough! The research, the writing, the articulate delivery, amongst many other elements required for this line of work… it is all so appreciated. Thank you for giving me a space to take in this content category in an intellectual way. Smart and informative! I keep returning and maintain amazement. Shine on 💖
thank you SO much for noticing Kate!
@@theswiftologist exactly my thought, you truly have a gift and it’s very evident that you worked really hard to sharpen it
The zoomed up wall is looking so good! This video looks so good! And it is so good! Congratulations on your production!
Thank you diva!!
Zack, I discovered your videos around a year ago. I’m so grateful for the way you’ve expanded my understanding of media literacy. Such a well done video!
Yes! The media literacy that is taught on this channel.
I'm so glad to have helped
I genuinely enjoy your videos! I am from the UK and I am a royalist, so going into this video i was not quite sure how i was going to feel. But you did a really good job on the entire ordeal. Whilst i didn’t agree with everything you said in the video the main points about the atrocious way of how KP has handled it all were spot on! I’m happy that you uploaded the video and look forward to your next videos! 🥰❤️
Yes, same reason why I love his videos - I disagree with so much, however, he presents his opinions in a reasoned way that allows me to UNDERSTAND why/how other people are thinking about issues (versus the hysterical spewing on some other channels, who on earth are able to connect with THAT).
Thank you for watching!!
Me:
listening to the details and being so focus of everything
Me:
looking randomly to the camilla photo and laugh
LMFAOOOO im a troll
My ADHD sat down and somehow shut up for a whole 45 minutes straight. I’m genuinely mind blown. 😂 I focused on every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 thing
I bumped into your content for Taylor, but I subscribed because of you ❤
i think what made this worse was the statement beforehand that the abdominal surgery was for someone “not cancerous”, which I think was clarified by official sources after the king’s cancer announcements. i think if they hadn’t said that, more average people would have ASSUMED it was cancer or something very similarly serious, but because they had publicly ruled that possibility out prematurely, the average person thinking about why she hadn’t been seen or what they were hiding then was kind if like, “well, what ELSE could it be?” and ran wild with it
'These are just lego people in a lego world - all you need to do is position them in the right place to make them look good' 😂😂😂😂😂Brilliant!!!
did I lie.....hahaha
GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAAAAT Video Zachary, your perspective on the royals is super interesting in both your videos about them. I also think this is your best video of the year.
Wow thanks Bryson!!
Famously anti-monarchy while displaying empathy is 👍🏻⭐️👌
had to be done !!
Zach, thanks for this amazing lesson in media literacy! Wow❤ You always deliver the best analyses… In my POV, the fact that they were trying to hide Kate was the issue.. even the video showed a much younger Kate and now we know the video was way older than this Feb. / March. No one who is going through chemo, walks into a farmers’ market where other people are present with no mask… potentially engendering her own health… 😢 I wish Kate a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 she’s so young and has little kids💕🙏🏻
Zach: Kensingtonologist in chief! 👑👏🏻🏆🥇😍
Thanks for watching Mary!!
ALWAYS here for a good ole fashioned Irish opinion on the British monarchy ☘️ 💅🏻
I was waiting for you to chime in 🎉
but of course...
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE !!!!!
!!!
Obsessed with you. There’s no two ways about it. You’re absolutely in your element. It’s magic to watch.
thank you so much!!
I just love how well spoken and knowledgeable you are on all your topics, thanks for this video Zach!!
Thank you so much for watching!!
loved this video! genuinely without ur channel i am an uncultured swine so thank you for always filling me (and others) in😭 ilysfm
❤I totally agree with you..the only good thing about the monarchy is that it promotes tourism..bad thing is that it is a tax burden
honestly swiftologist continues to be the queen of journalism !!!
we all got crowns ...
The Palace PR team owe Kate, her famil and friends an apology for bungling this whole thing so badly. And no one else. No one is entitled to anyone's medical information, even if they are a royal in service to their nation.
That being said, they realy should have just disclosed it as soon as the medical information was complete, after Kate had told her own friends and family personally. When people are bored and feel like they're being lied to, they will resort to conspiracy.
And also, this is the value the Royal Family ostensibly still exists for in the 21st century: to be objects generating public discourse and revenue. It is dehumanizing for Kate personally, but that is also literally the job description. All the accumulated wealth and privilege is the payment. They decide whether they sign up. (Unless they are born to it, of course)
totally agree w ur last statement
Most of the theories though, were started from the US, and the likes of TMZ. I completely understand that the photoshop, and videos showing appearances at a different time etc.
The one thing I will say, is that NOBODY IS ENTITLED TO KNOW ANYONE ELSE'S MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. IT IS LIKE HIPA IN THE US. From a UK citizen, who is pretty much not bothered about the RF, in terms of gossip and news. But in this case, I am taking consideration of a woman a human being, with children and above all, as a previous healthcare worker, consent and confidentiality.
No, the theories started on social media. The US press reported them, but most of the damage was done on TikTok
Idk how you don't have 100k already! Always making well researched and well put together content.
thank you so much!! on my way
The interconnection of mistrust with the media, conspiracy theories, and AI manipulation seem to be leading us to a life along the lines of the simulacra by Baudrillard
I do think KP screwed this up, I can see it from Kate and William's point of view. My daughter was 9 when both her father and grandfather we diagnosed with cancer. The cancer announcement regarding King Charles needed to be told to C&W kids and if the timing is correct they may or may not have known about Kate's diagnoses. Even if they did they most likely didn't have all the information regarding treatment and even what kind and stage. So telling the kids about their grandfather and letting that sink in before telling their kids makes complete sense to me. We didn't tell my daughter what was exactly wrong with her Dad until we knew what kind, stage and treatment plans. So timing and just dealing with the aftermath of Kate's diagnoses plus the Kings one can see how the timing makes some sense. That said it does not absolve the PR at KP of their screwups or rather malpractice. They do really need a social media expert!
Social media expert on staff NOW
I love this format
I love this style of video, I always enjoy but this makes me think you will be a major cutting edge journalist in the future!!
thank you so much!!
loving these style videos and your insights here!
Thanks so much!
This was excellent! The one thing I would have liked more of your take on was that poor quality short video clip supposedly of William and Catherine out shopping. Especially because the woman in the video does not look like the woman giving the personal message.
ooooh yes I should've covered that more
OH MY GOD, HANG ON
I'm gonna make popcorn for this MIT lecture on how to say "F* the Monarchy, key chain on the ground, we're always skipping the Crown" 🤩🍿
Edit: can't believe her sister is actually called Peppa, above all things 😂🤌🏻
it's PIPPA not Peppa hahaha
She edited the photo and didn't inform her staff. She held her hands up and apologised, didn't want anyone else to take the fall. I believe she edited it because it was edited at their home in Windsor at 9pm 8th March and early Saturday morning. They don't have staff at their home, it's usually just the 5 of them unlike at Kensington palace were there are offices and meeting rooms. Now their is another photo that Kate took that was edited. I believe it.
I’m not a fan of the royals but I do really like Kate. She seems like a wonderful woman and I will hope and pray she makes a full recovery.
the royal women are always far superior to the men in that foul bloodline lmao
I think in here in the uk we have been very respectful of the royal family over the years and given them privacy and even the press don’t bother them daily, so I think all the statements and photoshopped pictures that we have been given over last few weeks has left us wondering what is real. I doubt it was Kate sitting editing that Mother’s Day photo and think it’s time to get a new pr team 😳
they need a new PR team for sure lmfao
You would be literally best royal commentator
Well I would just be hating ldskfnjsdfd
Thank you for the graceful, intelligent, respectful video about the topic. Mainly talking about the real problem: a really bad press team and the characters in the institution competing with each other from the inside.
thank you for watching!!

on topic of these palaces press centers having rivarly: flops on flops crime mama.
FLOP ON FLOP CRIME MAFIA....IJBOL
i'm so mad at the palace cause all of their decisions were so dump and counter productive and like poor kate having to be like"oopsies graphic design is my hobby and i made a very obvious error, silly ole me!" (as if they don't have the acces to the best retouchers?). Like the woman had surgery so yes maybe the image is touched up or from last year but they waned to post their little card. Ridiculous, embarrasing, on top of having to deal with her condition she had to take the fall for that? yikes. I think we can all agree that when the rumours really started to get crazy a simple statement of: "following a hard surgery the princess is having complications, she's being tested for cancer but she's in great hands. The family asks for privacy as she continious to recover, thank you for your concern. We will update you when we have concrete news" or whatever!
I feel bad for kate. When she joined social media wasn’t that big no way when she married in would she be able predict how invasive things could get.
Can’t agree more and even the photoshopped family phoso , I think, wasn’t her fault! How come the firm’s PR team didn’t review it before allowing it to be published? She apologized for something that wasn’t her fault… 😢❤
this video format is so engaging, glad it’s back 🫶
sort of unrelated but i’m so curious how you keep up with pop culture moments like the kategate meme since you deleted twitter. i love not having twitter but i can’t help but miss having a front row seat to some hilarious pop culture moments
I have my ways ..... Twitter actually isn't very good for that anymore imo
Eamon and Bec made a wonderful documentary about Becs chemotherapy on their UA-cam channel.
Quaffed hair KING 👑 you not Charles
L M F A O
Zach, you are so fucking in tune with your audience's needs its insane. I'm freaking out about Olivia and Taylor? BOOM. TAYLOR AND OLIVIA FEUD VIDEO. I'm in an Ariana obsession? ETERNAL SUNSHINE REACTION VIDEO. The kate middleton conspiracy has me in chokehold? BOOM. FULL EXPLANATORY VIDEO.
You bring me such entertainment. Thank u.
Help...I need your breakdown of the Beyonce news. I know you're a Swiftie but can you give your opinion on her as well.
me: why’d he call her queen tampon?
me, remembering tampons are stuck up see you next tuesdays: *wheeze*
In case you do want to know, Charles said he wanted to be Camilla's tampon...💀
@@hiekfbisnl2772 my brain fully blocked that out and I’mma let it do it again: the reason is now cause she’s a stuck up word that would get youtubers demonetized
Once a swiftie forever & always a swiftie
She will pass away mysteriously and we are supposed to just stomach it and go on.
I am so seated for this one. I haven't engaged with any other commentator's Cate content because i know i'll only find a balanced critical take but also empathy and humanity here.
Love the vids well done on them
Thank you!!
Please make a podcast!!!!!
I have one! evolution of a snake :)
I think the issue here was giving real weight to a meme conspiracy. No one with a functioning brain actually believed she was getting a bbl. It was harmless fun targeted at a celebrity.
The issue was the picture response actually lead to the belief something was wrong because it was edited. It was a Streisand effect, they tried to get us to look away so we looked harder.
All that needed to be done in response to the memes was "As stated previously Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic for planned abdominal surgery. The timeline for her recovery remains the same and on medical advice she will not return to public duties until after Easter at the earliest. We thank you for your patience, respect and well wishes at this time" simple statement and reminds people she's not "missing" and that they communicated she'd be gone from the beginning.
It's impossible to get everyone on your side so you just need to stand firm with what you said the first time and ignore meme culture. Or jump on it, nothing kills a meme quicker than the subject of the meme trying to capitalise.
Hi Zach!
“TAMPON QUEEN CAMILLA” 😂😂😂
you look like prince eric from the little mermaid 🥰
you might want to make the subject (kate, the royal family, etc) more obvious in your title and thumbnails - as someone who is marginally interested in the subject I couldn’t immediately (within 1 second of looking at the title + thumbnail) identify your topic. the hashtag is too long and the faces are too small. the video has so much amazing deep insightful commentary that isn’t reflected in the t&t

as someone who is scottish, i have never felt as though the royals were MY royals. i never felt like they benefitted scottish people. the senior royals have no interest. charles and camilla come out of obligation and will and kate couldn’t give a rats arse about scotland even though they went to uni and met there!! #notmyking
QUEEN TAMPON 😂
I don't think their press team knew what was going on. I think they want to keep it a complete secret in fears it may leak before they could tell the kids
Do you need to post every comment three times
Something's still fishy about all of this. No explanations in regard to the docotored images and the doppelganger - because that was CLEARLY not her.
I think with Royal Familly you jump to too many conclusions, Zach. Where is the actual proof that there is all that infighting between the palaces or at least their press teams? 10:00
And no, Harry's opinion isn't proof- his court cases had 0 actual evidence about anything at all and even if It had (which it didn't) it wouldn't be proof about this specific situation anyway.
And your solution that they should've shared more and be more open and then people wouldn't go crazy speculating isn't a good one either. One must have the information themself first before they can share it. Kate herself didn't even know it was cancer before the surgery, the tests after it revealed it, so even if you think the public is entitled to all her medical information (which I disagree with, because no- they bring in much more money to the economy, Billions, then they are 'subsidised by taxpayers'- a few million) they couldn't exactly confirm those things when they didn't know. And after they did, how long did they wait to tell us? A month- and that includes recovery from surgery and waiting for kids to be out of school so they don't get harassed about it.
It's not like it caused a huge harm to the public that we needed to wait that long to hear of this 🙄 and it wouldn't have hurt anyone to just wait and see instead of making up crazy conspiracy theories either 🤷♀
I came on to the same thing as you. Way too much conclusion jumping here by someone who self admits to hating the Royals.
I love ur shows but I love the royals too more than u apparently do sorry I think ur wrong
Hit that like button like its a bad news story🎉 Our Swiftologist is da best🎉
This is by far the best and most respectful breakdown I’ve seen of this topic 🫶🏼
I watched, I listened but the royals appeal to me as much as cockroaches. 🪳
Didnt have to worry about you uploading a video that aged badly because you do true reporting - you place your own subjectivety in their but thats not the core of the video - you give us dates, headlines and very well researched rhetoric, thanks for the update!
Also hi to the girl across from me in Pret who I saw watching this as well lmao
thank you so much will

I wish this was a full blown "crazy string wall" with red thread and pins. Swiftologist you are a gem!
This 😂😂
I thought you wouldn't post it. Jokes on me cause I truly underestimated your journalistic skills. You keep doing you Zachary, love your content.
so happy you still uploaded this… loads of creators are deleting their kate videos. excited to watch! i’d watch you read out your shopping list lol just love your content and charisma!!
edit: not the taylor swift reference 2 minutes in… this is why i love you
I rewrote and refilmed w the news. I think it’s a much better video now!!
Was the shopping list part a The Fault in our Stars reference? 😂
@@kelb7350 haha not intentionally! never watched it, maybe i should 🫣
the camilla photo pls 💀 you're an icon for that. also this was so informative, can i just say as someone from scotland who's been passively watching the situation unfold through the news (both bc i no longer have twitter/tiktok and bc i don't keep up with the rf generally) you highlighted some things i had no idea about - like that photo of kate in the car with her mum, i had never even heard of that! just shows how much influence the rf still have over traditional media in this country. thank u zach, was a great watch as always
William and her parents visited multiple times but were able get in and out without being seen just like how Kate entered and exited the hospital without being seen
probably true!
such a great video Zach - amazing balance between empathy for Kate as a human and excoriating the out of touch and entirely useless royal family!
thanks so much jasper!!
best creator on youtube fr
Guilty as sin of having been too amused by this but in the back of my mind there was always something nagging me that this could be worse than we thought however positive and optimistic me was always hopeful that this just was a poorly handled situation by her press people and that she was fine. They just didn't want to give two bad news at a time and this just went bonkers.
I don't think their press team knew what was going on. I think they want to keep it a complete secret in fears it may leak before they could tell the kids
The royal family throw women under the buss, Meghan Diana etc. and I love how you speak to that aspect.
yup yup
I completely agree with this, but I also think every human being in the royal family is mistreated constantly, from when they are children. Obviously, women get the worst of it though.
Loved this video, but that Camilla poster had me shaking!!! 😂😂😂
I could. Not. Help. Myself.
I just want to say thank you for talking so quickly because people these days tend to drag their words to the point where even the 2x speed is too slow. This is perfect, no time wasted
I'm a fast talker. Some love it some hate it. Fellow ADHD girlies appreciate
I appreciate the fact that you present your arguments in a clear and well-thought through manner - even tho I disagree with you on so much, you present an avenue to engage with the thought processes of someone who views things (almost radically) different from myself. While I do want to understand how people cognate things differently, the hysteria makes it very difficult to understand what they're on about. This has been incredibly insightful, especially with regards to how media and media manipulations are coming across. While you clearly operate from a specific paradigm, you are able to offer an almost meta view of different considerations. So educational. Appreciate this channel.
Thank you so much for engaging!
Great video! Very thoughtful! I wish you’d touched on the adversarial relationship that William has with the press and vice versa a little more. William very much never wants to play ball with the press (for good reason given the nature of his mother’s life and death), and I doubt that even the most accomplished PR expert could truly sway him if he wanted to follow a certain strategy. He is after all the future king and their employer. Also think it’s interesting that the British press grumbled about Kate being the primary photographer for a lot of their early family photos. Only very recently did they start bringing in outside photographers to capture official family pictures. For her to take AND share a highly coveted family picture via Instagram rather than official press channels probably rankled some feathers alongside slower sales during her medical leave. Pictures of Kate are one of their biggest moneymakers, and I think they would have loved to have that highly-coveted picture taken by an outside photographer rather than Kate.
ooooh this is a great tidbit!! I didn't know William was AS adversarial as harry
@@theswiftologist oh definitely! They’re two halves of the same whole when it comes to the press. William just has the pressure of being the future king and doesn’t have as much wiggle room when it comes to telling the press that he hates them. They have to like him when he ascends to the throne because they do have a LOT of influence on public perception. Harry can tell them to shove it because it’s unlikely he will ever become king. It’s an interesting little game of chess they play with the British press. Thanks for another great video!
Appreciate the thorough breakdown because I could not make heads or tails of this whole thing on my own lol. I realized during Kate’s video that was the first time I had ever heard her voice..
hope this helped clear it up!!
After watching her statement I understood all the mystery and secrecy behind… cancer is a HUGE shock in any family, even more in someone so young, I’m sure it took the palace by storm therefore they didn’t know and ofc didn’t have a plan on how to handle the situation. It’s really sad and I hope people just let her alone. It must be really hard to handle it around your young children, now imagine having to handle it in front of the entire world…
Two weeks in the hospital is a long stay. It stood out in my mind. As a nurse, my mind went to hysterectomy or female issues. I'm sad she was forced to issue a message 😢
me, staring at the depiction of camilla: oh this is gonna be a banger
I couldn't resist ksdfnjlsdnflsdf
AND YOU SHOULDN’T
The Brits are very private people, including about medical issues. My grandma battled breast cancer when my dad was a child, and he only recently found out about it!
Yeah there are definite class and cultural factors also at play here
Everyone is private about health matters lol, that's not Particularly cultural
