Princess Kate?

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

Hope she’s ok

@EasternEcho no reason why not. Manicured lawn, evergreen shrub - looks like a something growing in a pot to me. That photo is taken on a porch or similar. Grass is green at the moment as long as it's not been churned into mud.

The conspiracy nuts remain nuts.

EasternEcho · 10/03/2024 13:19

@NCForQuestions Not interested in conspiracies. Just a question out of curiousity. In Denmark, in the area where I am there isn't even a bud in sight on any tree yet.

Twonewcats · 10/03/2024 13:45

That photo seems to prove it wasn't Kate in the car last week.

Ahhh but that could've been photoshopped 🤔

Or someone knocked it out for verisimilitude purposes, if we're going with the batshit conspiracies, which are quite fun... And whichever child is crossing his fingers is desperately trying to signal to the general public that they've all been kidapped by aliens and are about to be replaced by robots.

I'm not in the UK, but are trees really in full leaf and that green at the start of March?

Edited

Some are, some aren't

@NotestoSelf I make you right!!

They all have crossed fingers more or less.

And Kate’s seated posture, dark clothing, loose open jacket, loose soft pullover all creating shadow and doing a good job of “hide the colostomy bag”

So where is she?!

Actually, what the bloody hell’s going on with this sleeve ? The cuff ends before the hand.

Spooks not great at Photoshop.

Colostomy bags are flat and are not sighted in the middle of the abdomen.They are quite small not the size of a shopping bag.

If she has had one fitted and it is planned to be reversed ( it often is with bowel surgery) it will be an iliostomy which is sited just under the rib cage on the right hand side.

I know that you want it to be obvious but please do a bit of research.

RosesAndHellebores · 10/03/2024 16:55

Oh, the poor bloody woman. FFS giver her a break and a tad of privacy and dignity. It's her business and herself alone.

Amillionmenwenttomowameadow · 10/03/2024 15:32

@Twonewcats Why?

Last week, the photo in the car, the passenger had a much rounder face. Lots of people tried to explain it away as her being on medication. So if this was taken yesterday, it doesn't seem to be the same person from last week.

God, they’re saying it’s not a real pic??? Why, what is going on

No, they're saying the same as many of us, that it appears to have been manipulated.
They've not said it's not a real photo.

Why dont they just be honest about how kate is? I think they dont understand people aren't being nosey they are genuinely concerned for her. A lot of people like her. Of course she is entitled to privacy but shes a public figure and people are worried about her.

Maybe they are being completely honest. Maybe she's making a good recovery and will be back after Easter as always stated.
Why is there so much hysteria around this?
The photo was a bit of a PR disaster but I've seen plenty of photoshopped royal photos before. The fact that this one was photoshopped is just adding the the madness.

People ARE being nosy and William said she's recovering well.

People need to back off, nothing terrible is going to happen if she's not seen in public until after Easter as planned.

Firstly no-one said the photo was taken last week , it was released to mark Mothers day , and secondly all photos wil be " photoshopped " to some degree or other . You are really determined to make something out of nothing OP .

They literally said it was taken by William last week when they released it last week.

And I don't recall the agencies taking that action for any other photoshopped images, could you provide some examples so we know this is entirely normal and unremarkable?

I don't recall seeing any other clearly photoshopped images being over analysed by the tin foil hat brigade. I read that it was taken by Wiliam, and released last week but if you have the actual date of the photoshoot I am happy to stand corrected .

Leave them alone! Mind your own business. She had an op, she is recovering. She does not want to talk about it. Medical information is PRIVATE. All this is simply adding their stress.
