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.

I’m not sure why people think this doesn’t prove the BBL, you can’t even see what she’s sat on…

Your finger is on the pulse!

Oh come on she hasn't had a Brazilian butt lift

This reminds me of the photo of Camilla when she was in Africa - she was having a fag, she was having bother with her bunions, she had soiled herself , she was being disrespectful, she was having some coke, she had had a row with Charles when in reality it was a spilt second before she got out of the car. It's just all speculation. It would be like speculating on what this photo says or doesn't say.

In an unexpected turn, Princess Anne’s husband Tim Lawrence turned up this morning at an engagement with a black eye. Gardening accident, or so he claims. Clearly we now know better…

Is she sitting slightly higher up?

Proof enough.

Whatever you think the PR hasn’t been great.

Okay then if you've not been on Twitter recently I accept you haven't seen just how bad it's got over the last couple of years.

She deffo can’t win.

Not seen, she’s under the floorboards,
seen with an unsmiling face - she’s not happy, divorce.

Sure if she’d been smiling it would have been ‘does she think we’re stupid, this is a PR stunt’. Etc.

She should have let people just howl into the abyss, sad she felt the need to do this. (Saying that, pic is very grainy, could have been taken from very far away).

I was honestly really neutral on the RF, but it’s like the republicans on here are turning me into a royalist 🙈

I’ve never seen so much interest from people who claim to not care.

Its really sad, just because you pay a bit of tax, doesn’t entitle you to a pound of her flesh.

And don’t get me started on the ‘if we didn’t have the royals, we’d have
more money for the NHS’ lot, they’re like the brexit bus all over again. 😆

Or complaining about the bit of tax you’ve paid when William misses a private function like it’s anything to do with anyone what engagements he goes to in his own time.

the theory I read on one of the blinds last month that makes the most sense to me is that she’s pregnant with a very high risk pregnancy and needed something doing to help her keep the baby, and plenty of bed rest/hiding pregnancy until they know it’s secure. Her face looks a little fuller in that pic so maybe there’s something to it

@wordler maybe if no one goes on it will die.

Maybe they didn’t think they needed to PR an announcement that the Princess of Wales was under going serious abdominal surgery and would need time to recover? Because in what sane world would that provoke public hysteria? It’s a private health issue.

FFS. Leave the poor woman alone.

They would get ripped apart for a 4th dc considering Wills climate stuff.

Oh dear, I think that photo raises more questions than it solves (other than the is she dead/in a coma nonsense)

It really doesn't look like her at all, swollen round the face and really quite unwell, she looks like something major has happened.

Just on a level of 'she's a person too' I really hope that she's ok, whatever's happened.

I think the PR was quite clear ... surgery and won't be seen until after Easter

@BIWI you are criticising other posters for speculating but you are on the thread too. Or is it different if you are shutting down rumours? It still keeps the thread going.

How can anyone see anything in a shot that distant, blurry and grainy? Although you’re right, something major happened: abdominal surgery.

Clarity or not it didn’t work did it? Hence the speculation, all the press & now they photo.

Accidents happen @underthebun

Why oh why did they not issue a statement in her name saying she’s grateful for all thoughts and concern instead of this debacle ?
this makes it worse , people are saying Carole is driving around Windsor with a stranger wearing a wig , and that’s the kindest thing I’ve read yet, 😵‍💫

@PaperSky I'm happy to pay my 97 p or whatever it is to the RF every year. It's these old age pensioners that get my goat - do you know they take nearly 50% of the benefits budget? They should be out there every day clearing roads and parks, traffic signalling and doing community work instead of being lazy old things going on all these holidays and cruises every year 😂

Yes about turning me into a royalist.

Mind you after the Brexit shitshow how anyone wants to rock the boat with this lot in power god only knows!!!

But there has been hysteria or have you missed it? 😆
