It's just all so WEIRD, the way this has been handled. It's like a PR in how not to handle a situation of this kind. (Which I'm assuming is Kate having abdominal surgery, although possibly less planned and more serious than we have been led to believe.) Fake photos WTF? I'm not that academically bright, and work in a shop. I don't even have Facebook. But even I would have said to William go to some sympathetic event, something with small kids, and when some cute looking child inevitably says how's Catherine, say oh she's doing ever so well! She's so sad she couldn't come today and really misses coming to special days like this. But she's still recovering from tummy surgery and also has to take medicine that makes her face look different, which she's a bit shy about! But it's only for another month and then she'll be as right as rain. That would be caught on a million cameras, and would be lapped up. Throw in some kind of cute "fat face" nickname from her children and it's publicity gold, everyone would leave her alone. I just don't understand why they've taken this weird, lying, PR route that they have.
