Prince William's Absence (Part Two)

[MaggieFS]

Following on from this glorious thread

William just pulled out of event due to personal reasons http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/theroyall_family/5017144-william-just-pulled-out-of-event-due-to-personal-reasons

Do you know why we haven’t heard from Kate?

At the beginning of her absence the following was released and they are obviously sticking to it.

"Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’s progress when there is significant new information to share."

Apart from William pulling out of important memorials with no notice…

yes and Camilla and Charles are able to. The King is in his 70's and was seen days after surgery and cancer diagnosis waving to the crowd. It is exactly what I mentioned before, offering us stability and reassurance is a very royal thing to do.

Re: Pippa, the pics of her on holiday are neither here nor there as no one knows when they were taken. Her husband's family owns the resort in St. Barts at which they were staying and they go there several times a year so, while it's likely they are recent pictures, does anyone really know for sure?

I will say it's a bit weird we haven't gotten any news or pics of Kate's parents. There'd usually be 1 or 2 puff pieces on Carole helping Kate etc.

This might explain PA highly inappropriate exuberance en-route not only to a memorial service but one where a shocking, untimely death has just been announced where v close family were present. Also his bombastic opportunistic bouncing himself up to the front

Yes exactly. Highly inappropriate exuberance! What's the matter with the man and who thought it was a good idea. Makes the royal family look ridiculous. At least William has a bit of grace and decorum when he shows up.

I thought Charles was recently at Sandringham whilst Kate and William were there. He is at Windsor the rest of the time, on their doorstep. How on earth do you know how often they see each other? Charles doesn’t need visits in hospital. He’s being treated as an out patient.

I think it's a reasonable question too. And for what it's worth if I were a Lambrook parebt I'd definitely be scouring these threads to get the low down 😁
Imagine the speculation on the Lambrook school run!

Exactly

He’s the King so it’s entirely different.

We don’t need to ‘see’ Kate, no, but it’s highly unusual not to have heard from her at all. In what six or eight weeks.

And as much as it's driving some people/the press demented that there have been no updates, they have stuck to what they said at the beginning. A bit like training dogs and children really. Give a little and they want more.

Kate is the future Queen, next in line.

My sons clients are going to have to wait. She's not the queen so enough ghoulishness

@justasking111

How worrying for you, I hope your son gets better and stronger quickly

Not really it was said at the outset that there wouldn't be progress reports

And that's precisely what's happening

Yep next in line, your point?

Yes thats what I mean. I don't expect weekly health updates, but nothing actually from her is unusual. nothing from the two of them about Charles illness either? Nothing about her birthday across the royal accounts? Despite what some people want to say, this is all very unusual and it is concerning. The KP staff are useless.

Exactly but some folk have short time memory issues, not dissimilar from goldfish

Some people on here are the type of people who would go to visit someone in hospital despite them saying they don't want any visitors!

I don't know why you need to be so rude to other posters. If the topic upsets you so much you don't need to read the thread.

Some people are just ghouls.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The thing is... there was no official statement that Kate is doing well... i've searched everywhere and I can't find anything official (Certainly nothing from Kensington Palace), Some papers say KP has released a statement, some say "sources at KP' say she's doing well, but there is nothing official. There are no quotes from KP, just a vague 'update' message. Unless papers receive statements from the palace that we're not privy to. I suppose that could be possible.

Useless fact, but Goldfish in fact have quite good memories.

There's still another 6 weeks to go - plenty of time for her to release a photo or a message of thanks.
