I'm just stating what I think is happening given some very odd messaging from the palace. I'm not presenting this as anything other that my opinion. 🤷‍♀️

It’s still extremely odd to invent a whole scenario with absolutely no evidence or even anything in the past to suggest this might be the case.

Never see the light of day….
But millions have already seen it.

It was a figure of speech. Yes millions have seen it. They now need to stop them seeing it.

Well, not really

A high proportion of marriages break down. Royal marriages have higher than average odds. There have been indications - though of course you don't have to believe them - that their marriage was under pressure. So it's not exactly a totally outrageous suggestion.

Ive found the whole positioning of this story very odd since it first broke and this seems (to me anyway) an explanation for that oddness. Just one persons opinion.

Surely no one actually believes that during recovery for surgery Kate has been sitting around being very shit at photoshop.

How gullible do they think we are 😂

Well what do you think people do while recovering from surgery if not play with their phone? The surgery was almost 3 months ago, she isn't still unconscious

There's no issue about people seeing it. The issue is that it can't be used as a true representation of news.

The more I look at the photo it seems like the centre , ie Catherine is an AI image. It’s almost more believable that the centre person was originally William and they’ve removed him and inserted her in there.

I doubt William took this photo last week like it’s been announced by KP.

I don't think you understand what an ai image is. It's clearly a photo of Kate, whether it's been pasted into a photo of the kids is a different issue but it's not a computer generated likeness of her face

XelaM · 11/03/2024 11:17

😂 Do people think Kate is imprisoned in the Tower for wanting to leave her husband? Hardly a likely explanation for her absence. She's clearly recovering from surgery/an illness

This is the part of the story that I don't find unusual.

Her wedding ring is probably quite valuable and she therefore doesn't wear it on a daily basis.

I never wear my wedding ring (not because it's valuable, just because I find it uncomfortable)

She wears her ring in all other photos. Even the one in a wetsuit

Maybe not an 'AI' image. But certainly an existing image superimposed onto another one.

Really weird photo. Why has the boy got his fingers crossed?

Probably because he's a young boy!! My 6 year old grandson would be poking out tongue, making silly faces or doing something with his hands

ItsallIeverwanted · 11/03/2024 11:23

It may well be that she does like to play around with photos on Photoshop. That's why they have press offices, including people to review all media and social media extremely carefully! No-one just shoves photos out without scrutiny (unless they are doing a really bad job).

It's all the same 'hey, we don't have staff, we are just muddling along with William 'stepping up' now mum's a bit unwell' narrative, and it's not remotely believable! I don't even feel bad about them having staff, it would be weird to run such an institution without it, but the staff have to do their jobs and that includes screening/considering the fall-out of all photos and media comms.

Playing on my laptop is exactly the type of thing I would be doing if I were recovering from surgery at home. 🤷‍♀️

whatsappdoc · 11/03/2024 11:31

Poor old Kate! Edits out a lump of snot on Charlotte's cardigan and the whole world goes mad! What an overreaction from photo agencies, the world etc. Did anyone think to ask the Wales's first?

DameKatyDenisesClagnuts · 11/03/2024 11:32

This thread makes me despair of humanity

cerisepanther73 · 11/03/2024 11:33

How 🤔 on earth can this be massive news.!?

It just epitomises one of the many things about how superficial and materialistic society we currently live in,
surreal about all the Conspiracies theories nonsense on her and her life

Gowlett · 11/03/2024 11:34

XelaM, I don’t think that Kate’s been locked up in tower (I haven’t read any of the crazy stuff that’s out there) but I do wonder about these things, when you consider what happened with Charlene of Monaco. All very strange, indeed…

naturesform · 11/03/2024 11:37

I'd like to see the original, unedited image then. Who cares if Louis' eyes are closed or Charlotte is falling off the chair? Some authenticity would be great.

Unfortunately I highly doubt such an image exists

The eldest boy appears to have 3 arms. Note the arm around the side of the youngest boy.

No way. Louis also seems to have 6 fingers.
I agree OP it's really odd, just hope she's ok.
The only thing I could think is they've realised that sending an "all is well" message is not the right thing to do 😔
Just hope she gets better soon, she seems like such a lovely mum.

PA Media asked them then issued the kill after they didn't engage regarding the veracity.

You're all absolutely mental the lot of you

Userxyd · 11/03/2024 11:40

Actually @Kazplus2 isn't it (meant to be) Kate's arm around the two youngest? Georges arms are around her.

Paidanddone · 11/03/2024 11:40

My shock on here is that 33% of people voting think it is massive news 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

Userxyd · 11/03/2024 11:41

@Paidanddone what's mental? Look at the pic he has two fingers tucked down, 3 either side plus a thumb
