To think the response to Kate’s illness and photo is insane?

[Grosshesselohe]

And that the public are approaching levels of hysteria not seen since Diana’s funeral?

I’ve put this in AIBU not Royal because it’s the only way to get a vote - and hopefully restore faith in our collective common sense.

YABU - the dramatic response is completely justified

YANBU - people are acting like loons & should leave Kate alone

Oh FFS please stop ALL the threads about this

ANOTHER thread!

It's all the royalists constantly going on about it that is insnae, not normal people who are mildly curious - because they are behaving so strangely.

🙄

YABU to miss the irony of your post.

Not exactly part of the solution OP

So much this

So you created yet another thread about it?

Could you not have posted on one of the existing ones?

Trust me, I fully see the irony of the post.
no need for anyone to respond. I just wanted to see the vote.

Results so far are heartening

Op you are just adding to this 'hysteria' with yet ANOTHER thread!

Half of us can't vote ! So it's not gaining a true picture

Pointless

Why cannot people vote? I don’t understand?

Can’t vote on app as far as I know.

Can vote but won't vote

YANBU.

* Can’t vote on app as far as I know.*

But it's very easy to open a thread in the browser if there's something you want to vote on (or edit a post etc). So everyone can.

It was ridiculous until the future head of state and his wife issued a photo that had been altered to the extent reputable agencies refused to carry it.

They presumably did that in response to the crazy, but they have lost any moral high ground they had.

A complete clusterfuck.

Well I have the voting buttons switched off, so I never see the option. It isn't compulsory.

I think the voting results are pretty pointless. There are often posts saying "oops pressed the wrong button" (although I understand that you can remedy this by then clicking the other button).

Sometimes the options aren't clear, and can sometimes be so poorly worded that they are both the same anyway

Replies on a lot of threads demonstrate that a lot of people don't even read the OP properly in the first place, and the actual titles of threads are not always a clue to the dilemma being posted.

Just to clarify, none of my comments above are directed at this thread.

Some of the conspiracy theories are batcrap crazy. There's a sub Reddit called conspiracy theories or something that I am really hoping is a joke one because if not.. Fucking. Hell.

Realistically, people don’t bother.

I've asked for this to be moved to the appropriate place

Sick of the constant posts about her

I agree OP. I think it might be quite fun to believe in conspiracy theories but my brain can't help but go with what seems to be the simplest answer.

Which in this case would be that William's phone did that thing where it takes a few pics in quick succession and amalgamates into the best one. And Charlotte moved her arm by half an inch in the process.

Seems more likely than them having gone to the trouble of photoshopping a different head onto Kate, when they didn't even need to release a pic at all. They probably thought it would be a nice update. Bet they wish they hadn't bothered.

They have brought it upon themselves when they highlight that everything they wear from fashion to colours all have special meanings they are trying to reveal without actually making the point verbally. I didn't notice the photo-shopping, but given their acknowledgement that everything has a meaning I found it amazing that Kate didn't have any rings on - that is a pretty big point to make so publicly!!! 😯

There is already a thread in Site Stuff asking for them all to be moved.

MN has advised us to just hide them.

The meta data with the photo shows it was taken on a camera and altered on a computer. There are more issues than Charlotte's arm, but if you read between the lines, the issue with Charlotte's arm is that it was moved to insert Kate's hand.

They really, really fucked up on this one.

Their mistake was the fake photos. Now it's just like the moon landing
