Kate and plasters

Why does Catherine always have a plaster on? Is she more accident prone than the rest of us!

Maybe she once wore one to cover an injury, realised the tabloids write about it and now randomly wears them on different areas of her hands to tease the tabloids and let them waste time trying to figure out what she's covering up.

That would be incredibly attention seeking. I do not think she would do that.

She’s got one on each finger to cover an ACAB tat which I assume are family initials or something

OneFrenchEgg · 05/10/2022 21:05

That one is on her inner arm? Bit far up for bulimia??

Mangledrake · 05/10/2022 21:06

Her top thumb joint is a normal length - short. No way she'd get a cut there inducing vomiting. Shame to hear that's the gossip.

OneFrenchEgg · 05/10/2022 21:06

Oh, also thumb! Maybe her inner arm is just dirty 😂

I’ve never noticed her wearing a plaster before. Is it always in the same place? Maybe she’s got ‘I ❤️ big Willy’ tattooed around her thumb and likes it covered in public…

😆😆

dunno.
But loved the dress

It’s dermatilomania. Trich is when you pull your hair

i never knew it had a real name….I thought it was just me! My thumbs are a disgusting mess but I can’t help picking and chewing on them. They sting and bleed when I am stressed out (most of the time!). If I was Kate and in the public eye, I’d wear plasters too.

Damnautocorrect · 05/10/2022 21:10

Just googled Kate Middleton pictures, first one I looked at had no plaster. Thumbs looked fine

What is a Nelly fan, please? Could not find it in Urban Dictionary.

Who cares? Who really cares?

As a bulimic in recovery, (14 years) I can tell you that Russel's sign would not just be on one digit and it would be highly unlikely to be on the thumb. Also if she had active bulimia she would not look so healthy.

Rapper whose trademark was wearing a plaster on his face

OhRiRi · 05/10/2022 20:37

She's covering a tattoo of a cock and balls

I think this is the most likely explanation 😆

XingMing · 05/10/2022 21:18

I don't care.

DorritLittle · 05/10/2022 21:18

Maybe she often burns herself getting the fish fingers out of the oven?

tolerable · 05/10/2022 21:18

i only see 2 photos-one thumb specific. ....russell thing= educate yourself= babies suck thumbs/least likely candidate for vomit induce resonse surely.
maybe its attention seeking
tryna get down with the proles
who cares?

tolerable · 05/10/2022 21:21

thought she got called kate??maybe its imposter syndrom identity crisis manifesting or a wart....or shes consealing her drug stash to get through the day.

antelopevalley · 05/10/2022 21:21

There have been lots of articles about this over the years. She often has plasters and on different fingers or parts of her hand.

MurderattheBeautyPageant. Thank you. I must admit my naughty mind was conjuring up quite colourful scene !! The answer was much more sedate.
