Just that really. From Harry’s car chase to Prince Andrew being at a Pizza Express kid’s party.

And now we’re supposed to believe that the country’s biggest PR machine in the middle of a media storm just let Prince William take a casual Mothers Day pic on his iPhone, let the missus edit it and then post it to the world?

😒

Have you ever managed a staff of 3 never mind 200?

of course! we are all so daft, William is the direct line manager of 200 staff members. he's rushed off his feet with A/L requests alone.

Quite, the idea that the staff all go to the PoW with their leave requests 🤣

I’m sure you are joking here. Or do you really not see the point?

Haha ...what do you think his Personal Private Secretaries are doing?
Do you honestly honestly think W is the one managing all these staff? Interviewing them, agreeing salary terms, managing probationary periods, doing disciplinaries, firing them....
Honestly????

Is that how you would feel in a food bank? Just trying to understand the logic here of describing “the truth” of how someone else felt in a situation you saw remotely via media.

You did, of course.

Such a strange move from KP. They should've not posted anything. Or just put the pic on social media, said it as an old pic and Kate would post more when she was fully up and about

It was the blatant attempt to create a fake picture of her current health status that got the picture killed and all the fuss commencing

Exactly, and this is the point that people keep missing.

It wasn't just a few little cosmetic updates, the problem is that the photo and the narrative that went with it were creating a false impression of the true situation.

Anyone who saw the picture of Kate with her mum last week knew that there was something fishy about that picture on Sunday.

There was no need to release it at all. What happened to "never explain"?

Hahaha this is so funny! I think we don't see W out and about working, because he is directly managing 200 staff 🤣🤣

What narrative? That Kate is recovering and spending time with her children at home?

Let me know when you discover facts to show that neither of those things is true.

You don’t think the head of an organization that large does anything all because the only thing required is approving time cards. Got it.

I think if you had you’d know that managing an organization isn’t just about admin manager tasks.

Even if you had only ever done admin manager tasks you would know this.

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 13/03/2024 12:18

wonder what the reaction would have been had Kate said sorry but because i feel& look like shit (paraphrasing obviously) I tweaked/manipulated photo? More sympathy perhaps. I’ve just stopped my mum from coming over as I feel and look awful. Dread to think about putting out a photo for the world to see!

lighten up Jane!! I know it's hump day, but it's nearly lunch time. treat yourself to a boost bar, seems like you need one, inbetween your taxing, lengthy, and ever so important managerial tasks of course

It would not please nor quiet many, that’s for sure.

It's showing her as a happy glowing picture of health when clearly that's not the reality.

They said she'd be back after Easter, they should have just left it at that instead of trying (badly) to fool the public by superimposing her head on a photo!

Out of comfort zone is the daily life for many fine people.

I thought you were suggesting she was embarrassed.

Again a bit of casual misogyny here today. “Lighten up ladies!”
