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

Some of the comments here are ludicrous. I worry about the intellectual level some of the British public operate at.

I don't worry but I do wonder about the IQ level of some of the world's posters. When they swapped tosh gossip on the street doorsteps in 1930 the twaddle wasn't so far reaching.

It definitely is time you backed away from these threads. Good choice. You do seem a little over-invested in proving something weird is going on. Though you’re not sure what. 😂

And yet all the frothing and spite is actually coming from the "think what we think, or else" brigade. Us conspiracy loons are comparatively calm.

Has anyone actually said “Think what we think or else?” Or is that something else you’ve made up?

Don't look @WolfFoxHare in the eye - they'll think you're trying to. dominate them and may attack.

Just back away v-e-r-y c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y . . .

No sudden movements.

Quiet as you can . . .

QUICK! NOW!!! THROUGH THE DOOR!!!!!

God almighty! That was a close one!

I reckon it’s Crohn’s and she’s had a colostomy, hence the loose and dark top. Her knee bones are quite visible, even for a slender woman they seem a bit emaciated, perhaps due to undernourishment, which also explains her sitting, probably due to weakness. Perhaps a temporary ostomy that will be removed by Easter.
I wish them all well, it must be hard for the children not to have their mummy at full speed.

upinaballoon · 10/03/2024 18:59

I apologise to Daniela Relph for mis-spelling her as Daniella Relf earlier and I still wish that she could say 'picture' rather than 'pitcher'. Perhaps The Times will have an article tomorrow about the BBC's reaction to the photo, and the next day the Daily Mail can have an article about The Times's article....et cetera, et cetera, et cetera........

At least you’ve correctly identified yourself

Definitely taken pre op, not that it really matters as its a lovely photo.

Rubbish!
Not taken pre op at all given the tree in the background is likely a Magnolia and my magnolia looks exactly like that atm.
A light covering of leaves before the stunning blossoms erupt.

And just observe the way she's sitting, loose jumper, covering her middle, children to the side and behind, not sitting on her.

And the evident facial pallor and dark shadows around the eyes.

Now for Gods sake let's leave her alone!!!

Without wishing to open a can of worms….
what are the rumours about hrh? I’ve searched Twitter and can only find people asking the same question as me

WolfFoxHare · 10/03/2024 19:14

I actually quite like the idea of it being AI. I like to think of them generating one photo after another, discarding the ones with three legs or weird ears or hands with seven fingers then eventually saying ‘Fuck it, that’ll do.’ Meanwhile she’s lolling on the sofa in her big sweatpants eating bonbons with her hair in a messy bun.

I'd love to know what was so funny... normal smiles would be better. Don't wanna see inside their mouths and every tooth on display lol

If it was their Dad taking the pic he probably said something silly or they noticed he was holding the camera incorrectly .
I wish HRH Catherine could just be left to heal in her own time without making a circus of it like her SIL would have done

Louis seems to have lost a front tooth, what is he, very nearly 6? Last autumn would probably have been fairly early for that

really don't want to get involved in the conspiracies but my son is in reception and several of the children are already missing front teeth. One of them isn't 5 until May and her adult teeth are well on the way through!

WolfFoxHare · 10/03/2024 19:22

TBF I think Meghan would have been even less visible - she certainly protected her privacy when Archie was born. I do wonder if Kate compared the circus after her children were born (standing on the hospital steps hours after giving birth etc etc) with the privacy Meghan managed and thought, “Duly noted, I’m not parading myself on a hospital step again for anyone.” Respect for them both for enforcing their boundaries.

Her children are way too old to be sat on her lap for a public photo. That would look most odd and unlike previous recent photos.

I hope so.
i feel sorry for her if it has recently been taken, having to drag herself off the couch, comb her hair and get tarted up just to satisfy the insatiable curiosity of the public. And even then they can't Stfu. I know she chose this life knowing what it would be but I wouldn't have her life for anything.

With the clothes the kids are wearing that photo looks like it was taken 20 years ago.
Old fashioned.

Oh bore off!! If you have kids I dread to think what they might be wearing. 🙄

I've just read your next post. What a killjoy (and your envy at people who have more than you just shines through).

My three were the same. Got all their milk teeth early and started losing them at around 4 and a half. One of my youngest’s peers hadn’t lost any of his milk teeth before year three. All kids are different. Down to genetics I suppose

Is foaming at the mouth similar to frothing ?

My dog foams at the mouth after gulping down his breakfast. I hope he's not a conspiracy nut🤔.

Well, if you look at the average IQ and then think that half the world is below that then it's a sobering thought...

(I love Yes, Minister and the irregular verbs. I have a healthy interest, you're a little over-invested, she's one step away from hanging over the palace wall with her binoculars out.)
