i think if it was a miscarriage they would say, alot of women have a miscarriage in their 1st pregnancy, there is nothing wrong with it.betina said:is it only me that thinks this is a cover-up for a miscarrige. This was the first thing that got into my mind. (sorry for my bad english).
Betina
I am sorry Betina but I think you should be ashamed - that is speculation of the most damaging type. If she has had a mscarriage and chooses to keep it private we should respect that, and if she hasn't to even raise the suggestion is offensive, especially on such little evidence. When you have a miscarriage it is a very personal decision about who you tell, and given the speculation as to her "fertility" I can imagine suggestions that she is unable to carry a baby to term would only be hurtfulbetina said:is it only me that thinks this is a cover-up for a miscarrige.

I agree. The comments were very insensitive and offensive.Napoleon said:I am sorry Betina but I think you should be ashamed - that is speculation of the most damaging type.

I would tend to agree. I also think that if the Royal House came out and announced a miscarraige, speculation about Mary's ability to "produce a healthy heir" would begin, causing only more stress for the Crown Princess in what has to be an already high stress situation. Miscarriages do happen, and I think I could understand why the Royal family would chose to keep it quiet, if that is indeed what happened. However I also agree that speculating on whether the surgery story is a cover-up is not helping matters any. I personally think if it were a miscarraige the family wouldn't have said anything. The rumors weren't anything that was hurting anyone. I think Mary probably did have gallstone surgery, as it seems the story is rather silly to make up. The surgery would cause concern for the peoples "Crown Princess's" health, not something the Danish Royal Family would do, in my opinion.Moonlightrhapsody said:I didn't take it as offensive and inappropriate. It's a normal human response to think of alternatives and it wasn't as if betina was saying that she wanted her speculation to be true...And you never know with royals, anyway. They have reasons for keeping things in the dark and sometimes honesty is not the best policy. Speculation is purely that. Speculation, until there is confirmation to the contrary or affirmative. I don't think it's wrong to think of other possible reasons since we don't know either way anyway.
Very eloquently put, mgrant; I absolutely agree with your comments here.mgrant said:I read today that the entire gall bladder had been removed to prevent any more problems. Another article stated that all those pregancy speculations had been scuttled by the revelation of the gall bladder surgery.
I am happy that Crown Princess Mary is doing well and wish her a speedy recovery. As to the pregancy speculations, if and when it she does actually become pregrant, I'm sure that the public will be duly informed. Speculation only stirs up gossip and trouble. I feel that that magazine that started it should have ended it by saying their speculations were unfounded and wish the Crown Princess well during her recovery from surgery.
I both agree and disagree with you here.~*~Humera~*~ said:I feel sorry for Mary. All of a sudden she has to put up with total strangers speculating about everything from her marriage to her illness and pregnancy. While it is completely natural and human to gossip and be nasty, it definately isn't very nice.
well I can understand your point of view. The question is, what is the limit when it comes to speculating/gossiping about the lives of royalty, celebrities etc. Everyone, no matter how famous they are, is entitled to being treated with a modicum of dignity.Genevieve said:I both agree and disagree with you here.
It is unfortunate that Mary's life is now such an open book for everyone and anyone to gossip and speculate about. Were she still plain old Mary Donaldson going about her marketing/real estate or whatever career in Australia, no one but her family would've cared about her gallstone operation. But as the Crown Princess of Denmark, even something as simple as a regular visit to the doctor opens itself to speculation of pregnancy or infertility or whatever.
But on the other hand, Mary knew what she was getting into when she entered into a relationship with a Crown Prince. She could've ended the relationship at any point during the 2+/3 years she and Frederik were dating. During their relationship the press followed her around a lot so she had a taste of what life in the public eye would be like. It's not as if she came about this life unawares of the not so nice parts of it.

First of all, gallbladder removal or cholecystectomy can be done through a laparoscope so the client has four small incisions with approximately three or less stitches each.Bubbette said:Then why is she driving?
