KP PR are really not doing well with this!

Associated press
AFP
Reuters
Getty images
And now PA media have all issued picture kill notifications to their editors and publishers regarding the Mother’s Day image due to how highly edited it was

Not going to help with the conspiracy theories

I find it really worrying. Literally the only reason they’d be secretive about her health is if she’s terminally ill. I mean if they can say the King has prostate cancer then they can talk about whatever Catherine has! And if she, with all of her expensive doctors and monitoring, can die, then what hope do the rest of us have?

Maybe part of the reason they won’t say anything is because people basically ignore it anyway. The King has a cancer found when having treatment for an enlarged prostate, but they specifically said that he doesn’t have prostate cancer.

Regarding affairs, years ago I heard a rumour that Kate liked women as well as men.

Yes, that’s been said about pretty much every woman ever at some point. Usually by awful men.

I’m really quite concerned to learn that we can all die. I thought we lived forever. It feels like when I learned Santa Claus is not real a few weeks ago.

Stop being facetious. It’s not normal for a young mum with kids to die and you know fine well that’s what I was talking about. It’s scary when you’re the same age.

So you think she’s dead?

No but she possibly will do. I mean it’s obviously worse than cancer, because they’re willing to disclose when senior royals have cancer (eg the King) but apparently can’t disclose what Kate has.

Salemforcuddles · 11/03/2024 21:17

I think it is disgusting that another woman is being bullied, criticised and shamed , it's never ending

They can't disclose because she chooses not to, it's nothing to do with how bad it is, or worse or better than someone else.

If she was terminally ill they'd hardly say she'll be back after Easter

I actually doubt Kate is that stupid. She would know the rules behind submitting these photos surely. They have been dealing with the media for years.
The person they asked to create that photo has done a bad job on purpose and released it in that state on purpose knowing what would happen.

TastyTakoyaki · 12/03/2024 07:08

I reckon Wills affair with Rose is true, Kate has had enough, she has taken her ring off, staying with her mother and not wanting to play ball with the palace. They said we need to post a picture on Mother’s Day, she said no, so someone took a couple of images and came up with that image. She was then forced to say it was her as they couldn’t tell the truth, the palace then staged the picture of them both in the car, but again she didn’t want to play the game so turned her face away.
No face lifts, no dying, just classic affair tale

I agree. Its the simplest explanation for all this. They are not even bothering to protect her now. Why did the Press office release that terribly edited photo? And then blame her?
After all the things said by people who have married into the Royal Family about how insular and snobbish they are about anyone who marries in, the mental health problems suffered by so many of the women (not just the married in's like Diana and Meghan, but Princess Margaret attempted suicide) people think it is beyond all comprehension that Kate is being treated badly by the entire KP establishment. She will be absolutely demonised if she leaves, and William protected. If he's having an affair, do people think he will allow the 'wronged wife' narrative to prevail? He will do what his father did and get his attack dogs in the media to drip feed that she was lazy/mentally ill/had an eating disorder etc. Royalists will lap it up and tie themselves in knots trying to defend the Royals.

Would you want to smile to the people who have been bullying you for the past 2 weeks?

Exactly. Why should she smile and wave? She's supposed to be recuperating in private.

She DOESNT WANT HER PERSONAL INFORMATION DISCLOSED. Is that so hard to understand?

Exactly! We don't even know what type of cancer the monarch has yet we're supposed to know everything about Kate's health?!

TastyTakoyaki · 12/03/2024 11:51

I don’t think we should know about Kate’s health, but they are fools if they think that people will buy anything they say after this faked picture. It’s not really up for debate, that picture has been categorically edited to the point publications can’t judge if it’s real.

I don’t think she is ill or dying, but historically the royals have been fundamentally neglectful when it came to mental health, it wouldn’t be shocking or unusual if Kate requested time away (would explain the length) and because of the speculation, and the kings illness, patience for her in the household has run out. It’s quite likely the king won’t be king for long, I am not saying he is going to die, but my much younger mother (early 60s) is going through chemotherapy for the second time and will have to retire when her treatment is finished, I can’t see how a much older man is going to be able to fulfil his duties as king. Cancer treatment is rough.
Therefore William will be required to step up, and maybe Kate doesn’t want to, maybe her husband is cheating and she has said no, I won’t be in your staged photos and I won’t be pretending. The affair rumours aren’t bizarre or far out, they have been circulating for years.

PerfectYear321 · 12/03/2024 13:46

This latest car photo is being picked apart on twitter, with people saying the bricks through the window are different to the bricks outside the car and that the pic of Kate's head is very similar to one taken in 2016. Basically, 'is it another Photoshop?'!

KP has brought this upon itself

User0000009 · 12/03/2024 14:07

Not sure whether to throw this into the mix but here goes. Just spoken to someone close to me who has a friend who works in a fairly elevated position in finance in The City. This chap was in the company of someone who has heard from a source that the King is more unwell than we are being told and that KM’s surgery didn’t go to plan. Don’t flame me. It could be bollocks but this bloke does work with wealthy clients

BeachBeerBbq · 12/03/2024 14:33

I think everyone can now see how this frenzy will grow.
I may get banned for this, but I feel like some people are ready to line up by closest tunnel closest to W&K's home hoping for repeat of the last sad RF event....

One of my friends said something similar, that some people will never be satisfied until they get a divorce or death notification

I have seen one genius on Twitter posting a picture of Pippa driving (into Kensington Palace), comparing it it to yesterday’s picture of Kate and William driving (out of Windsor Palace) and excitedly saying “OMG the bricks are different - the photo is a mock up!”

Yes Sherlock, the bricks are different. 🙄

BenefitWaffle · 12/03/2024 15:08

When the Palace lie to the public who can blame people for not trusting anything they say.
And the press agencies issued a kill notice because they believed the photo was a fake i.e. a lie.
That will lead to some wild theories, but they have only themselves to blame.

TastyTakoyaki · 12/03/2024 15:32

They do only have themselves to blame but it’s all just so odd and out of character for K&W usually very polished public image. Since January there seems to have been one PR mistake right after another, have they not been able to hire a competent team? No wonder people are speculating. It’s like watching an episode of the crown play out in real life…
