Indifference to PoW?

FaiIureToLunch · 28/01/2024 08:51

I find it strange that there’s no real interest or concern from the public about POW being in hospital. Nobody seems to be that bothered. If you compare it to the circus if Diana had been in the same situation….. I just find it odd. I always thought she was relatively popular because we’re constantly told she is but actually…. Tumbleweed.

I know it’s her own business etc but it just feels quite odd that somebody can disappear and there is no interest in why. I don’t really know or care what’s happened or why, but the silence is really intriguing. It reminds me of when the brexit referendum happened and I had no idea that there was such strong feeling about the EU…. I had no idea that there was such apathy about the PoW until now. It’s been a real eye opener for me.

I reckon the next generation or two, the monarchy will be gone.

It would be outrageous if we had police paid for to stand at the London Clinic to prop up some charade.

The photographers only spotted William visiting once very briefly. They were outside the hospital covering all entrances. William could have visited in a boot of a car, but why would he?

Well, all those masses of photographers didn't spot Catherine leaving the hospital, so it's clearly obvious people could obviously visit without being seen 🙄

Omg and here we have the bash

It’s exactly what they did with Archie’s birth Samcro - they announced Meghan was in labour only after she’d already had Archie and had left hopsital. I don’t think it’s a bash if its true.

But this is a thread about Kate, nothing to do with H&M
so not relevant

Serenster · 31/01/2024 20:39

People were talking about Kate and William engaging in the same kind of subterfuge as that, though.

Redglitter · 31/01/2024 20:46

How are we being lied to? Not having all the details of why the PssOW was in hospital is not the same as lying.

Can't you just respect a very elderly dying woman for getting herself up and out to meet two Prime Ministers when it must have been the ultimate struggle, when most other human beings would have cried off?

To me, this points to her personal ambition rather than self sacrificing duty. I thnk she was hugely ambitious and was a woman of steel. I do nto condemn that by the way.

However, if the country rather than the crown were her driving force then I think she would have handed over to Charles much sooner. Instead we have an elderly woman handing over to an elderly man who will in turn, hand over to an elderly man. None of them are very inspiring so youth would help - in my opinion.

We see the consequences of that - normally we have public demonstrations of affection/concern for ill members of the family. There have been no flowers or vigils for the PoW. It stands out.

"Personally ambitious" - wtaf would she have to be "ambitious" about, given that she was the fecking Queen!!! I mean, what was there to aspire to? That's utterly mad.

She dedicated herself to the country at 21, and she saw it through. Shame on you.

And it does NOT "stand out"!!! Jesus.

Nobody hung around like a dick outside the hospital when Prince Philip was a patient either.

What is actually wrong with some of you people!!!!

Has anyone else seen the rumours on X (Twitter) about how oddly handled it has been around Kate. There are rumours that William and Kate are headed for divorce, her mental health is in tatters etc. Some have picked up on how Spanish media were reporting that Kate was in a coma, then the next day it was announced Kate was home. Could just be Spanish media playing up to to the date they were expecting Kate to go home anyway. Could just be trolls on X, I don't know.

They do not always hold informed conversations. They often have stock questions they ask.

And? The significance is?

@smilesy that is an interesting question. I do not know the answer.
You only had to take a wander down there to see the reporters. I am not making this up. Why would the reporters not take photos of William visiting on other days? Or of Catherine leaving the hospital at the time about 11am, it was alleged she was leaving? Or at least report it? No one knew until a statement was made that she had supposedly left the hospital.
I do not care if he visited or not. I do get fed up of the lies though the public are expected to swallow without question.

It's none of the public's business.

I'm glad that she has for once been able to maintain some element of privacy.

She's just had major surgery, enough to keep her in hospital for two weeks! Leave her alone!

Well if you believe anything on that tripe-filled platform....!!

There are some horribly batshit posts on this thread.

If it looks like shite - it’ll be shite.
If it smells like shite - it’ll be shite.
If you see shite and repeat it - you spread shite.

Josette77 · 31/01/2024 23:14

She left without anyone seeing either.
That kinda destroys the whole argument about no one visiting.

I think after the Charles and Di divorce they will never divorce, even if they can't stand the sight of each other. They have 4 houses ffs. They could live completely separate lives and still stay married. The continuation of the Monarchy is their lifes' work, no matter what else they say, and neither of them would risk it. I mean, they could also be perfectly happy, but I doubt we would have the same shennanegans again as we had in the 90's, so we'll never know. Charles and Diana's marriage was sold as rock solid until one of them broke ranks.

There are rumours that William and Kate are headed for divorce

The late queen used to love reading the stories about the RF in the foreign magazines. They had her and PP divorcing, her and PP having affairs, falls out with the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, being on no-speakers with various members of the family, and all happening time after time over the years and all about as reliable as a Daily Express weather forecast.

upinaballoon · 01/02/2024 09:29

'There are rumours that William and Kate are headed for divorce.'

There always will be. Lummocking gossip-mongers, especially in the foreign press, will make sure there are always rumours.

The last time I saw Kate and William together at a function - I suppose Christmas Day - neither looked unhappy even if they were talking to other people. It looks as if they stand shoulder to shoulder and look out at the world, looking forward, which I believe is healthy in a relationship.

Uninfluenced by anything seen on 'The Crown', I can remember the body language of Charles and Diana when they were on the news often. It wasn't the same as K and W ! ! !

Mrs, Danvers, I was still typing while you were posting. I like your post.
