Lovely new photo of Catherine and the children has been released

[BirthdayRainbow]

I know there will still be people saying it proves nothing, it was taken pre op but why not just enjoy the photo..

I was thinking it might be a wisteria.

I noticed that, I was waiting for someone to come up with a photo proving/disproving this was taken in the last week "look he had that tooth at Christmas" or on the other hand "he lost that tooth last September the 27th and he has a new one now."

Maybe they already have, I haven't got to the end of the thread yet.

Agreed! I think the update is great, and exactly what they should have released when the speculation started getting out of hand. It's better late than never but KP is clearly just doing damage control at this point.

We need proof of life, god damn it! 😉

The first rule of Hostage Negotiator training.

Some comments on this thread tell me that some posters are sheep, some are bitchy and I wonder what has happened to others to make them post such things. Pitiful.

I agree. I think this was taken in the future.

Did you live through the pandemic? Did you realise how many anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers walk around us as well? That wasn't just giving headspace to silly gossip but people knew their actions could literally kill other human beings and still didn't give a shit. Humanity is batshit by default.

but it is Mother's Day in the UK so makes sense to me.

I really hope Catherine is planning a Thelma and Louse style getaway with Sophie, and the next glimpse we get is of them sailing over the Grand Canyon in a 1966 Thunderbird. With a happier ending.

I did an actual LOL at that!

Lovely photo

Sorry but the context of this photo is weird. There are so many in here that seem to invite speculation, either their PR is lousy or they are deliberately trying to wind people up.

Why would someone recovering from surgery be in hiking boots?

Why choose a spot with the tree behind them in full leaf showing autumnal signs? Yes it may be an evergreen but to my (admittedly untrained) eye it doesn't look like one.

Why no rings? Yes it could well be that she can't wear them for medical reasons - but if so why not just explain that, or simply don't show her hands in the photo?

Didn't they think all this would invite speculation, or do they just not care?

Kate is not a private individual, she is a public figure whose role is funded by the taxpayers. Although we are not of course entitled to details of her recovery or medical info, I think that we are entitled to clear communication about her progress, and this photo isn't it; it invites more questions than it answers. Some posters may be happy being patronised by this kind of non communication but I'm not.

This and the newspaper post made me laugh

Perhaps you should write to them with your helpful suggestions , I'm sure they will respond appropriately

The image, taken by Prince William at Windsor earlier this week, shows the princess with her three children

I see no reason to not believe this.

Unless you are a tinfoil hat wearer.

Strange comment. Now even looking at camera while their photo is being taken is an issue 😕

Yep, I genuinely find it quite terrifying!

😂😂😂😂

From other photos Catherine doesn't wear a wedding ring/band she usually wears her engagement ring which belonged to Diana.

I've got evergreen shrubs in my garden and Louis is nearly six and isn't it one of the bottom teeth that fall out first around this age?

Wow amazing.
No text would have been better than that.
It's like that short hilarious CBB apology.
Are we 5 year old s lol

@lifebeginsaftercoffee I know, right? Scary is the right word. I actually wonder if a lot of the posters on this topic are mentally unwell.

Second sentence in article: The image, taken by Prince William at Windsor earlier this week, shows the princess with her three children.

You sound very troubled

They're suede boots, not hiking boots. People really are desperate to criticise/conspiracy theorise absolutely anything, aren't they?

Torn between laughing at people saying they aren’t horticultural experts then commenting on the plants and worrying about my garden not having got the memo that it isn’t supposed to be in leaf.

What a great thread to get an insight into how the minds of some people work, though a bit worrying on one level.
