Princess Kate?

Internet is going nuts about it, the theories are insane.

Hope she’s ok

I really can't understand the death theories either. If she had died they would issue a statement to say she had died and then they would crack on with funeral arrangements.
They wouldn't pretend she was alive for weeks on end for some bizarre reason and cremate her in secret.

Who was it who once said "reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated?"

The Princess of Wales might be sorely tempted to issue a statement along those lines when she comes out in public again after Easter.

Presumably at the moment she is ignoring the conspiracy theorist twats on all platforms as much as she can and trying to protect her children from them. They will drive her round the bend otherwise.

Exactly. We had the same with the Queen several times. Lots of conspiracy nutcases claiming she'd died when she'd not been seen for a few days or when she cancelled an appearance. In the event, the official announcement of her death with literally within a couple of hours of it happening, exactly as all the conspiracy nutcases had been told it would be announced!!

I am fascinated that people think about the royal family ever! Out of sight out of mind for me.

It does make you wonder though, so many weird things with the RF at the mo

No, it really doesn't.

Charles is getting old, so some form of health crisis is entirely expected.

Lots of middle aged women have health issues.

The only "strange" thing is the coincidence that both have happened at the same time. That's just luck (or bad luck) of the draw!

Tom Bower just said in an interview that he knows what the illness was, was extremely serious and that her recovery will take longer than they had predicted

Can you link to wherever he has said this? @Achillo

dottiedodah · 29/02/2024 16:04

She is in recovery ! Hopefully feeling lots better now.Gosh she cant even be ill FFS,The poor woman is scrutinised over every tiny scrap of her appearance .Obv she wants to wait to shes 100% before stepping into the limelight again .Not Easter for another month people!

Her death is something that has been discussed as a liklihood on Twitter. What I cant work out out with these idiots is how would that work. Will they keep extending her recuperation and hope in time we just all forget she existed. Or will there be a replacement model who looks totally different, like in the soaps, but we'll all be gaslighted into believing nothings changed. I dont think the eejits that come up with these ideas have the brain power to think of the next step & consequences of these alleged cover ups 🙄

At home in a ponytail and leggings, eating a cream egg and enjoying a month where she doesn’t have to have mani pedi, brow wax, and daily hair styling.

It may not be a crème egg. I don’t have that long a lens.

TokyoSushi · 29/02/2024 15:58

Well yes @Kinneddar goodness knows what'll happen if she doesn't turn up at Easter!

I think she'll go to church at Sandringham on Easter Sunday.

whatdoidonowffs · 29/02/2024 15:56

Why do people have to know everything instantly all the time ? And if we don’t know we’ll just make some shit up !!
really would love PW to come out and say Kate’s not well I’ve had the shits so fuck off and leave us alone

I hope she’s on MN reading these posts and thinking “what sad little lives people have” 🤔

Shes recovering from surgery, I suspect hysterectomy or similar, abdominal surgery can take ages to recover from. I don’t see why people are so concerned?

I've come to the conclusion that the doubters haven't seen the recovery from major abdominal surgery at close hand in their families. A few months off makes perfect sense to me having seen multiple family members have surgery for bowel cancer (and I know she doesn't have cancer but similar surgeries can be carried out for other reasons).

And as someone on another thread pointed out, she can't come back to work and half arse it, or move slowly or clear off early if it's a bad day for pain or wfh in her leggings. Every inch of her appearance will be scrutinised when she reappears so of course she wants to wait until she's feeling much more normal.

@Missmarplesknittingbuddy Its not just that though is it

There's no big mystery. It is purely an unfortunate coincidence. It can happen in any family at all.

What nonsensical point are you trying to make?

Kinneddar · 29/02/2024 15:53

TokyoSushi · 29/02/2024 15:50

I'm fully expecting her to turn up at Easter looking fabulous.

God help us if she's not. The conspiracy theorists will go into absolute meltdown

There are two threads, both now 40 pages long, discussing this in detail entitled Prince William's absence. The first thread started with discussing why Prince William dropped out of his Godfather's memorial for "personal reasons" and after some initial chat about him having the shits, the thread moved on to a lot of discussion about Kate and whether she is dead or not.
Why don't you pop over there and have a look at people's ideas on there?

I think the conclusion is that she has died and is under the terrace, hence the massive cover up.

Topseyt123 · 29/02/2024 15:51

What are you waffling on about? No, it doesn't make normal people wonder at all! I don't spend my time speculating drivel about the medical conditions of other people. I've enough to worry about with my own.

She's at home recovering from major surgery and it is anticipated that she will be back after Easter.

Common sense should tell you that

a) you aren't entitled to her medical records

and

b) you cannot expect her to be paraded on display for public consumption after a major medical procedure. She needs to recover.

Bloody hell. Are people really this witless?

I imagine they will have to release a statement over the next few weeks, to give some semblance of things being under control.

Another conclusion is that she's in bed at home recuperating and having a laugh trolling mumsnet. I suspect she might be the poo troll - but who knows.

@Missmarplesknittingbuddy Its not just that though is it

What on earth are you on about? We all know that life can be really turbulent at times and I have had periods in my life when I just think what else is going to go wrong, crisis after crisis with no respite and then on to smoother waters for a while, it's just life isn't it. You're clearly a conspiracy theorist rather than someone who just accepts that 'stuff happens'
