Stephen Colbert has expressed regret and issued apologies for jokes made about Kate Middleton on 'The Late Show', prior to the public learning of her cancer diagnosis. Colbert's comments, which speculated on Middleton's absence from public life and fueled conspiracy theories, including an alleged affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury, were part of a 'spilling the tea' monologue. Acknowledging the insensitivity of his remarks given Middleton's health situation, Colbert has publicly wished the Princess of Wales a 'swift and thorough recovery', two weeks after the initial comments. His apologies follow similar expressions of regret from other public figures and shows.
