In the wake of the Princess of Wales’ announcement that she has cancer, attention has turned to the cruel conspiracy theories peddled by celebrities during her time away.

Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, Andy Cohen and John Oliver all joked about Kate’s time off work.

From Instagram posts to ill-informed late-night bits, they cast doubt on whether it was really the Princess spotted with Prince William at a farm shop, and compared her jokingly to the ‘Weekend at Bernies’.

None have retracted their comments since Kate’s sad announcement today.
