Jimmy Kimmel has had it all with the conspiracy theories surrounding Kate Middleton and undue attention. He urged the press and public to “leave this woman alone” during his opening monologue last night.

During the opening of last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, the host started with, “We finally got a royal update on Kate Middleton.”

“There’s a very simple explanation for Kate Middleton’s whereabouts: She’s been working from home, How does a princess work from home? ‘I’m just going to stay in and wave at people?'”

Jimmy’s monologue then took a serious turn as he said, “Maybe it’s because I’m American but I don’t understand the craziness around this. Why do we have to know where she is? It’s not like she’s the bus driver. She had an operation… I mean, really. People are demanding she get dressed up and march through London so we can have a look at her. Leave this woman alone!”

The worldwide speculation about the Princess of Wales surged in the past couple of months, as she went absent from the public eye, while recovering from abdominal surgery.

The speculations were squashed by the princess herself, on Friday, when she issued a vide message announcing her diagnosis with cancer.
