As I spend this Holy Week with my sisters, I shall be keeping Kate Middleton in my thoughts.

I’ve seen a lot of social media posts over the past few days that all, more or less, say that, “We should all feel ashamed for spreading rumors about William and Kate.”  While I agree that there are a lot of people who should be ashamed, I don’t really appreciate this “we” business.  I didn’t make a single joke, post a single rumor, or otherwise join in the online harassment of Kate and William.  The same is true of most of the people that I know.  Most people are better than that.  If anyone should feel ashamed, it’s the members of the media who spread rumors and innuendo for clicks and attention.  Don’t let them get away with pretending everyone else was in on it with them.
