Separately, in a public address they touched upon privacy, asking the media and people on social networks not to disturb the royal family: “The Princess of Wales understands the interest that this statement may cause. She hopes the public will understand both her desire to protect her children from gossip as much as possible and her desire to keep personal medical information confidential."
