It is.

No it isn’t. We were told she wouldn’t be around until Easter. And as for saying thank you for the well wishers, William did that at the BAFTAS

I dunno. I’m actually starting to feel sorry for them all reading this thread.

do not be weakening now, Calli !!

This was her last appearance before the surgery and her eyes look squintier and more tired than usual.

If I was Kate I would be delighted so many people cared about me.

Really? You'd like foreign media to announce your death for your primary aged children to see?

SleepingStandingUp · 28/02/2024 19:16

Newchapterbeckons · 28/02/2024 18:55

It is.

Suspicious of what tho? That's she critically ill in bed at home and the children are making the most of their last house together? That's she's dead? That she's packing up to live? That she's had cosmetic surgery? That she's pregnant?

photo of Kate’s squinty tired eyes here, she looks under the weather indeed.

The comments that she’s in a Coma or dead are bonkers.

I just don’t see any middle class girl wanting this as a life. My money is on a soft exit

Reading this is depressing.

It shows some posters are like the mob baying at hangings

Well remembered, Smilesy. William said in a speech on 7 February: “I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you, also, for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days."

How can you protect pre teen children from anything. Social media makes it impossible. Better to be transparent and take away the speculation.

Erm I'm sure the children know perfectly well where their mum is and how she is.

You sound personally affronted that you're not being kept fully informed.

I kind of am a bit sorry for them. 😕

Having done the lurid conspiracy theories, we are now getting the unflattering “squinty tired eye” close-ups.

Think I’ll move on …

But she chose this life, she was around long enough to know exactly what she was getting into.
I am sure she has had a nasty and rather embarrassing operation and is taking her time convalescing. I think both she and William are a bit workshy but I certainly don't wish them I'll.

I think you need to look in the mirror @Doteycat

ToffeeTalk · 28/02/2024 19:35

It probably looked all sparkly and lovely before marriage, but now the reality has hit and the marriage has evidently soured. I can see that her future is likely to be much improved by walking away and it would serve the rf absolutely right. I also think the public would be very supportive of that decision if she made it but of course it would be a nightmare for the institution.

I posted the above post before I read this. I'm surprised that a parent can't remove their child whilst that child is a minor? Are you sure?

Obviously it would be unthinkable to leave George in a position he felt he couldn't handle himself. That he wouldn't was implicit in my wondering who would actually take the role on.

Edited

I think as George is "underage" then the next heir over the age of 18 takes over (in this case Harry) until George is 18

The word is that Kate will be back AFTER Easter. That could be any time up to next Easter. 😉

I wish this thread was as lighthearted and amusing as the first one. It's getting defensive and angry here.

JaneJeffer · 28/02/2024 19:37

You know who else reappeared at Easter?

Haha so anytime between Easter Monday 2024 and Good Friday 2025!

I have always thought (but not voiced it on here for fear of a backlash) that I don't think we will see Kate until.after the summer hols this year

hopefulmummytobe78 · 28/02/2024 18:50

Yes. We are.

Nobody else gets three months off, no questions asked. You have to tell your employer why, when you're expected back etc.

Maybe she's given the king a fit note

Owl55 · 28/02/2024 19:41

Never mind “Where’s Willy?”
“Where’s Edward n Sophie?”

Yeah. I was (half) joking about William having the shits on the last one. I do hope everyone is OK.

I agree with whoever said William shouldn’t be in the same photo as Prince Andrew, that would have resulted in weeks of complaints.

Well they need to get something sorted if they want the monarchy to survive because wheeling out the family perv and his ex wife is a great way to turn all but the most ardent hangers on into republicans.

Totally agree. It’s all gone to pot since the queen died
