Urgh, I’m sick of sneery posts on here saying it’s not newsworthy. Go and find a post that you think is worth talking about then and let people here discuss what they want.

It is an unusual situation, it seems there’s something not right. If people think it’s just petty gossip then scroll on and leave others to it.

Unless of course you’re all M15 agents, posting here to stop speculation (joking)😬

It’s not the fact it’s been rumoured to have been manipulated. It’s the fact the AP have issued a ‘kill notification’ which literally never happens.

Look how easy it is to kill a story which they never did for Meghan…

And this was just about a photo edit!

Tessisme · 11/03/2024 07:34

FFS. I thought something significant, something bad, had happened. Stupid me for opening the thread. Imagine getting your knickers in a twist about this.

It’s quite creepy.

Why?

Kill a story. How have they killed the story. What on earth are you talking about. The story is front page news in every paper.

This is so stupid. The poor woman has had what sounds like some pretty hardcore surgery and is exactly where they said she’d be- recuperating in private at home. If the over-invested, salivating masses lack the comprehension to understand what “she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter” means, or are simply unable to wait that long, then that’s our problem, not theirs.

Yes, exactly. Finally someone speaks sense.

The story has just had petrol thrown on it. It hasn't been killed at all.

What has been killed is the ability to purchase the rights to the photo via the agencies, which nobody needs to since it is kn the palace SM.

Ah come on. The OP could easily have filtered out the disinterested posters by not having such a ludicrously dramatic thread title. If 'Royal Family' or 'Kate Middleton' had been part of the title, I and plenty of others would never have opened it.

dayswithaY · 11/03/2024 07:45

And disinterested posters are free to leave.

Cool certainly @lemmein😁 Not unique though, judging by this thread.

Flowerfairie · 11/03/2024 00:21

A photo of Kate Middleton and her kids has been photoshopped (in an era when all photos like this will be)....have you misunderstood the meaning of the word massive?

no. This is unprecedented.

What?????🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you mean "uninterested"?

Ελλe · 11/03/2024 07:51

I mean it’s a bit weird but what use does speculation and conspiracy have? They’ll announce something at some point. You’re being a bit dramatic OP.

Tessisme · 11/03/2024 07:53

Yeah. That's the one. Oops.

Sparetoes · 11/03/2024 07:54

I'm not sure if it's massive news or just astonishingly badly handled by KP, but something's not right.

If poor Kate is still not well enough to have her picture taken, that's a big deal, but should rightly be private.

If the RF are issuing manipulated pictures for PR purposes, that is actually big news IMO.

Something for the DM to have 20 articles a day about for the next month, whilst many families and children live and die in squalor.

Zyq · 11/03/2024 07:58

I really don't care.

Isyesterdaytomorrowtoday · 11/03/2024 08:00

I don’t understand- it’s still up on their Instagram page?surely they’d have taken it down too?

OMG. Stop being so gullible and hounding the family. #GossipyFishwives

Hounding the family? I’ve heard it all now! I They released a shitty photo-shopped image, have quickly snatched it back. I had no interest in this story before, but it is weird now.

The RF didn't "snatch it back", the news agencies decided it wasn't right and therefore they shouldn't publish it

I agree generally, but the OP is literally asking 'AIBU that this is MASSIVE news?', so people are giving their views on whether or not this is indeed MASSIVE news.

If you're sick of posts discussing whether it's newsworthy or not you should perhaps avoid threads discussing how MASSIVE (or not) this is?

Not really the DMs fault that their audience of sychophantic serfs lap this nonsense up whilst imagining how fortunate they are to have their hard earned taxes support a family who IRL would be virtually unemployable.

It could potentially be massive news though and should be scrutinised. Not Kate's health, which is her business, but the picture, it's manipulation and withdrawal and the reasons behind that is big news.
