KP PR are really not doing well with this!

Associated press
AFP
Reuters

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

@Serenster I disagree that paps wouldn’t have seen it as a huge ROI to capture K out and about until now - I think they were respecting the RF requested media black out.

I think today’s shot was staged.

I also think today’s ‘surprise’ pap shot was to show W & C together and another foolish attempt to quieten Twitter - from rumours of a divorce and that she’s alive.

I think it’s also odd that PW is heading off to significant state occasion and she just hops in for a lift on her way to a private appointment. All too contrived in the immediate aftermath of KPs cock-up.

I don’t believe there is any conspiracy but I am disappointed that KP seem to now be doing foolish things (pic edit, pap shot) in reaction to the demands of SM etc - I would have hoped they could have held the line for their own privacy.

I cannot get over the car photo. I mean, who is running this !! Better to have done nothing!

Agree.

Especially at this heightened time. She was put in that unblocked out car deliberately IMHO.

If they wanted to maintain her privacy she could have traveled to her private appointment another way.

Well, the news agencies have done a shit job of "killing" the photo.

They've just given it more publicity. Which was likely their aim.

The Telegraph are reporting that multiple images were merged and the section containing her head was cut out and replaced. Yikes.

Clearly horrible photoshop but nothing will be as bad as this

The car photo from today just adds more fuel to the fire. Why on earth wouldn't she just do a quick smile and wave to the camera when she knows people are asking for proof of life? Just staring at a brick wall so we can only see the back of her head? That could be anyone! And the quality of the pic is poor.

Bear in mind that they showed prince Philip days before he died when he looked like this:

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?

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

DodgeDoggie · 11/03/2024 19:47

I really could t get upset about this. She edited her photo as many people do.

Maybe just take comfort from the fact that Keith Richards is still with us.

Just because something is unprecedented doesn't make it a big deal. Does it matter, not really, apart from the OP who thinks it is akin to man landing on the moon.

You should have put a sensitive image on that. Not everyone wants to see photographs like that. It's in bad taste and can cause harm to readers who have lost someone . There are many situations which can cause this look. Just because it was in the press is no excuse for posting something like his. Very distasteful.

I've been calling out how Meghan's been treated as well and defended her for years but go off, I guess.

Meghan's been bullied

Kate was bullied in the past and is being bullied now

Aquarius1234 · 11/03/2024 19:59

Kate definitely doesn't need a face life. So I doubt its that's.
Royals aren't supposed to have heavy cosmetic work anyway.

So you believe they weren’t stalking Windsor to take photos of Kate out of respect? Why then did you say “In all this time she hasn’t been papped on a public highway” when you don’t think photographers have been trying to pap her?

Sorry to cause offence

Aquarius1234 · 11/03/2024 20:01

I don't know when Kate stopped any pap shots outside official totally made up ones.
Since she's been married? I'm taking photos where she isn't immaculate but still looking 10 times better than us

MrsFinkelstein · 11/03/2024 20:19

Didn't see everyone getting worked up in 2019.

Today's car photo looks more like Rose than Kate

At this point, I think nothing will shut them up until Kate comes back and starts carrying out engagements again
