They never said no extensions, it's pretty bloody obvious. They said the 'tape' picture was a scar, which it is. There was an aww both K&W have scars, William got hit in the head with a golf club when younger. Kate's was from a childhood op. They spoke about them at a hospital visit.

Kate's extensions are obvious. They must think we are stupid. The botox is obvious as well if you look at photos now and old photos.
This is what most rich women do. Totally normal in the set Kate is moving in.

PicturesOfDogs · 13/12/2022 19:22

Do you know what, I actually think he’s quite good looking.

But only when he wears a hat.

There was a bit in the funeral procession where he saluted as he went past the cenotaph, and I thought ‘wow, he’s actually quite handsome’

I just think some men can pull off the bald look, and it makes them sexier, but I don’t think he pulls it off.

I can't say I've bothered to examine her hair in that much detail, or that I'd be that concerned to find out she has extensions or Botox (if she does). Can you clue us in on what else rich women do?

susan12345678 · 13/12/2022 19:28

What astonishes me is the way Harry and Meghan's fans complain about the 'nasty', 'vile' threads about them, while far worse threads like this one, full of the most outlandish slander and lies - are allowed to stand.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Strikes me that Kate and William's undisputed popularity (as borne out by successive polls) must really trigger Harry and his supporters.

@PinkTonic strange isn't it and then they repeat it like its actually a fact
No care about the people they are writing about and kids their that may read these things later on

healthadvice123 · 13/12/2022 19:29

@antelopevalley why does it matter if she has extensions and botox , how does that hurt anyone ?

antelopevalley · 13/12/2022 19:30

@healthadvice123 It does not and as I said is normal for a rich woman of her ilk.

She does have hair extensions, though (I know the hairdresser who does them) – so they’re also willing to lie about stories to do with the wife of the heir.

Of course you do

Name them, or you are the same as H&M. Alluding to something is not the same as evidence. It is just casting aspersions.

No evidence of anything on either side (apart from Harry being a racist).

Penny1979 · 13/12/2022 19:31

Hadn't read the whole thread so didn't know it had already been mentioned lol. Remember thinking the whole thing was hilarious but strange how he never sued when he sues about anything else untrue. The whole story just vanished from UK media.
Can't recall the media being so kind to Harry.

The fact that Meghan wears wigs & extensions, doesn't mean Kate does.
Kate's hair looks very similar to mine - thick and longish - and I've never worn extensions in my life!

I will admit to botox, however! It's pretty routine now, surely?

MrsFinkelstein · 13/12/2022 19:31

Talia99 · 13/12/2022 18:50

In regard to ‘never explain….’, KP felt able to ‘explain’ on the record that Kate didn’t have hair extensions, the photograph showed a childhood scar. I think they also went on record that Kate didn’t use Botox. Apparently they can explain when it’s to disprove untrue stories about the wife of the heir.

Sigh, this has already been said several times before.

The Palace made a statement about those specific instances because certain beauty salons were advertising their services by claiming Catherine used their products.

That's only reason the Palace spoke out. Had it been random claims online or in the Press they would have ignored it.

They can't ignore businesses using a Royal to advertise.

antelopevalley · 13/12/2022 19:33

@susan12345678 Botox is not normal in my circles.
You can see photos where she has hair extensions and where she has none or less. It does not matter, but I hate the pretence.

antelopevalley · 13/12/2022 19:34

@MrsFinkelstein If it was untrue they could have taken action against those businesses. Did they? If not I would suspect it is true.

Once again for the hard of hearing - the only time they spoke out about this is because businesses were advertising their services using photos of Catherine and insinuating she was a client of theirs.
It broke advertising standards.

healthadvice123 · 13/12/2022 19:35

@Penny1979 how often has he sued ?

Yeah, and?

So are Meghan's.

A lot of women do.

susan12345678 · 13/12/2022 19:39

@antelopevalley

I am genuinely concerned for your mental health. You really do seem obsessed and full of jealousy hatred for a woman you don't know.

And to pre-empt any aspersions you may choose to send back my way, a brief glance at our respective post counts should underscore the extent of your 'obsession' vs my casual, albeit ongoing interest in a topical subject

MrsThimbles · 13/12/2022 19:39

Exactly. Do you really think Pippa, who is v close to her sister, would name her child after the woman who was shagging her bil?

Quite.

And no one has lied to protect William regarding the affair (that didn’t happen) because no one in officialdom has said Prince William did not have an affair. Its not been mention officially let alone denied or lied about.

it’s all just bonkers.

healthadvice123 · 13/12/2022 19:39

@antelopevalley or they can take the sensible approach and ask company to remove and deny they are involved with said company
Plus you can only sue someone who has money etc
Also why should they have to tell anyone if she has botox or etc , for someone who doesn't care you keep bringing it up.

healthadvice123 · 13/12/2022 19:40

@susan12345678 it is a little worrying isn't it

The fact that it vanished is probably an indication that it’s complete bollocks. People could be sued for libel, whereas they couldn’t if it was proven.

Coxspurplepippin · 13/12/2022 19:45

PicturesOfDogs · 13/12/2022 19:09

How much do they charge lol.
Her hair is lush

The comment that Kate didn't have hair extensions was in 2011, so probably quite true that she didn't have them then - it's over ten years ago....... The confirmation was made because the delightful media were speculating about quite a large scar on Kate's head. Clarence House said the scar was from an operation when she was young. So not really about hair extensions at all.

I think this comment is rather harsh.

@antelopevalley didn't start the topic of Kate wearing extensions, she's just adding to the conversation that's already going.
