(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.

I get the feeling that her and W's relationship with the public may not be the same as it used to be going forward.

i don’t think W ever liked the press tbh & they were likely hoping they had yrs before they were on the throne. They have kept the press/public at arms length & prioritised their dc/family life which is fair enough. But I don’t think that’s possible when you are King.

@User7825525

Well you have that one user above calling other posters "deranged" and "idiots" whilst pretending to be the paradigm of morality for the Princess of Wales

Actually, I didn't say she was deranged. I said that her post sounded deranged. And I said that posting in such a way was idiotic. Not that she was an idiot.

Words matter, and I chose mine carefully.

I have no idea what 'pretending to be the paradigm of morality for the Princess of Wales' means. I'm not pretending to be anything. I'm simply a poster here is who is pretty appalled by the nastiness and ill wishes being directed to another human being. Whether she's a royal or not, this is not deserved.

@ColleenDonaghy Yes, me too - I suddenly feel incredibly motivated to defend Kate and William in the face of so much utter bilious nonsense and intrusiveness

ArcaneWireless · 04/03/2024 20:36

I wonder if anyone has ever had someone spread hideous rumours about them here?

I have.

Not one jot of truth to it. But if folk repeat pish often enough some believe it as truth. And it has tainted my career and reputation. Unfairly.

The rumours spread about me were by a colleague who some insisted/told me was quite unwell. Because of this, I was told to ‘be kind’ and not rock the boat even though he eventually went nuclear with the allegations.

I don’t look kindly on those who think it ok to cast aspersions, spread their narrative as though it is fact or indeed just speak, as they say up here, pish.

I couldn’t give a shiny one if it is about Kate or the man down the street.

It is damaging, cruel and nasty.

Just to stir things up ahem.... was William otherwise "engaged" today? If not, why didn't he accompany his wife on the school run, or just do it by himself. That's what he said he was taking time off for!

Prince William was awarding honours at Buckingham Palace this morning, so he was busy. But why let the facts get in the way etc etc.....
Please, people, just leave the Waleses alone!

underthebun · 04/03/2024 20:39

Of course not but this stuff is outrageous made up stuff and misogynistic vitriol that's organised into campaigns to trend on twitter - it's not just the royal family it happens to - there are loads of celebrity 'camps' where this happens to individuals.

And then you see it being brought to non-Twitter platforms as 'facts' or credible rumours when it's malicious stories deliberately made up to create the most damage possible.

I don’t use twitter but making up stuff about celebs is par for the course

It's a complete mess on the PR front. Neither Carole nor Kate look happy at all. That picture is not going to convince anyone that there's no divorce in the offing.

This post does not say what you claim Maireas, I'm afraid.

User442681bgt · 04/03/2024 20:39

That's not Carole in that photo for goodness sake.

Maireas · 04/03/2024 20:39

Dear god. It just gets worse.

Salemforcuddles · 04/03/2024 20:39

@ArcaneWireless I'm so sorry, that is awful

queenofarles · 04/03/2024 20:40

OMG , whoever’s idea this is needs to be sacked 😵‍💫,

Speaking of which, a certain group of posters on twitter are posting that that is not Kate at all, but rather a body double hired by William to cover up the fact that Kate is still very much unaccounted for. It’s the sunglasses, you see. A dead giveaway. So sorry, ToffeeTalk,but it looks like you’ve got it wrong….

Well. You did appear to use the photo of evidence of divorce, right? If you didn't mean that then you need to say so, because many posters on here have drawn the same conclusion as me. As you can see, qv. Objectively plausible, I think your phrase was?.

I did preface my post asking if he was busy..... And now I know. Thank you.

At ease.

What are you on @ToffeeTalk? You sound quite deranged.

BIWI I'm not sure you can claim that this post is intended to mean a particular post is deranged rather than the author of the post.

BIWI · 04/03/2024 20:45

Christ alive. If ever I wondered why I'd stopped using Twitter/X, that thread is more than enough to convince me. The speculation on there is ridiculous.

JaneJeffer · 04/03/2024 20:45

Damn it she was supposed to stay indoors until Easter

Salemforcuddles · 04/03/2024 20:46

If William and Kate have been reading any of these theories they must think the public are completely bonkers

I think I can!

Maireas · 04/03/2024 20:47

Anyway. The Middleton women planning a building society robbery in Scunthorpe is objectively plausible, according to someone on twitter, so I'm going with that.

What’s the nastiness? people wondering if they are divorcing or questioning where she is?

When I was younger the tabloids used to go in hard on the Royals; Fergies toes, Charlie’s love messages, etc I think since Diana’s death the press have eased up considerably & the public seemed less critical but maybe the tide is turning.

Oh my god!! That's proof it was a Brazilian butt lift!

Perhaps Carol was practicing being the getaway driver
