Okay , I'm just going to say it... where is Kate Middleton?

[Tuesdayalready]

(or for the MN purists, Catherine) The most high profile and popular member of royal family has not been seen since Christmas. I do think it's quite strange and so many rumours from the foreign press. And before anyone starts jumping down my throat about her having hysterectomy / crohns / ad infimum / I've had both a hysterotomy and half my intestine removed and was back in work within a 8 weeks.

Keith will be returning at Easter, post transitioning. He had to wait for his beard to grow.

🤣🤣🤣

Hilarious. 10/10 👍

I can relate to this. I was presented with my DOE Silver award by the old DOE but otherwise they were barely on my radar until the big flounce & Oprah.

All the unwarranted vitriol directed at the main royals by H, M and their supporters just made me feel like defending them.

And you're doing a sterling job of it, if I may say so

Look out for a white enveloped letter with a crest on it round about June, or failing that December 😅

A sterling job indeed gott

Haud gaun.

Please be sure to provide daily updates and a nicely staged photo of yourself looking frail and grateful to the nation.

They'd have to agree on the day they got married to get past the first round.

Then I hope they’ve got space on the fireplace for the gold carriage clock alongside the Aviation award.

😂😂😂

What next, a Blankety Blank checkbook and pen?

Don't panic...but she's behind you...with a cleaver!!!

Who is Keith?

I think the suggestion is that Kate has had gender reassignment surgery. It's actually not the craziest thing that has been suggested thus far.

Exactly.

I wish anyone posting this nosiness would at least state the topic in the headline so the sane people could ignore it.And hopefully MN could move it.

The conspiracy buff is beyond ridiculous.

I had a hysterectomy last year. I was an absolute wreck 8 weeks afterwards (ovaries removed and hormones were a mess!) I returned to work at week 11 or 12. Everyone is different. Leave the woman alone to rest and recuperate.

😂

@Tuesdayalready - I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that until this thread I didn't even realise she'd gone AWOL.

I hope you divorced him.

That Celebitchy woman is actually insane. She's been writing hate articles about Kate since 2008/2009. How do you spend 15 years obsessing over someone? Really weird

The main source for this assertion is Harry, and I'm not sure he's completely reliable

It's plainly bloody obvious why they haven't and won't say anything about the cause. It's something they don't want to talk to the kids about right now. Which is why her parents have laid low too, they don't want to risk letting anything slip.
The fact that the King that turned out to have cancer is just awful timing and I suspect both William and Catherine are really struggling. A suicide in the wider family is an added horror. The Palace said Easter, so it's Easter.

Exactly this. I also seem to remember Meghan being under constant scrutiny and abuse throughout! No protection from the family or press. Why are we trying to rewrite history.

Kate is obviously being very protected - rightly so. Something that should be done with everyone, not just her!

Like what?

am I really naive, I just thought she had a hernia or something? Are you suggesting they’ll be getting divorced?!

Or maybe Dusty Bin?

No protection from the family

What does this mean?

As for no protection from the press, just a reminder that while Meghan was a working Royal we heard nothing at all about:

The fact that a formal complaint had been made about her for bullying
The fact that she had travelled, completely privately, to Canada to stay with Jessica Mulroney (while her press team denied she was on holiday)
The fact that she and Harry attended various international functions like the opening of Soho House Amsterdam or a trip to Lake Como,completely privately (until others, like Giles Coren posted about them)
The fact that she was using her staff as a go-between with Omid Scobie
The fact that she was negotiating commercial deals with US broadcasters

Her Palace team also denied that Meghan was using diet pills, plus eight other separate denials of stories about her in the press, some of which were later established to be true.

What the Palace didn’t do was waste time and capital by attempting to push back on all the ridiculous clickbait headlines, which is what, we gather, Meghan and Harry principally wanted. Along with pushing back on legitimate criticisms of their activities, which would not in any event have been appropriate for a constitutional monarchy in a country with a free press.
