Shame on those who embarked on a journey of conspiracy theory about Princess Catherine, says Nana Akua

Owen Jones for one has now issued a grovelling apology after his ridiculous conspiracy theory.

On learning of her diagnosis He later tweeted: 'As someone who speculated on this without considering it could be a serious health condition, I'm very ashamed to be honest, and all the very best to her.

Silly little man.. At least he had the wherewithal to apologise.

Actress Blake Lively another one who has also issued a grovelling apology for an ill-advised jibe about photoshop before she learnt of Catherine's diagnosis.

Writing on Instagram, she said: 'I'm sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this.

‘I made a silly post around the 'photoshop fails' frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I'm sorry. Sending love and well wishes to all, always.’

Even Global stars like Kim Kardashian who commented to her over 100 million followers by posting a snap on Instagram of herself leaning up against a car, and appeared to refer to the royal and all the gossip as she told fans: “On my way to go find Kate.

She’s facing backlash from her followers to take it down.

When you have a platform, you must attempt to use it wisely. They knew that Catherine was ill and having surgery, but were totally irresponsible in their actions coming up with unfounded ridiculous theories.

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion and Catherine is a high profile figure, but their behaviour was silly and cruel.

Well now they have the truth.. At least they have the grace to acknowledge their mistake and apologise.

One positive that has come out of all this is that scientists are now looking into why so many young healthy people are getting abdominal cancers.

So As Owen Jones issues a Grovelling apology and joins other luvvies in apologising for speculating on the princess of Wales's health, is more regulation of social media the answer?
