You are very funny.

no, have you forgotten the pic on Sunday. I can't see it going out to the right people without KP having a say over it, can you?

There were millions like me that appreciate and understand major ops, any operation can take time to recover from and things may not go to plan. KP, IMO should have kept a new blackout until there was substainal news.

Then there was the fiasco of the MoD saying HRH Kate would attend on ...

KP had to intervene - they should have kept it quiet.

The chatter would not stop if they released the original!!! Are you mad? It would be 1000 times worse. 😂

Beat me to it. Someone is demonstrating an inflated idea of their importance.

Yes the whole thing about the Army having to backtrack about HRH Kate attending Trooping the Colour. That's MUCH more odd and intriguing as that's in June well after any Easter return to duty.

It's stuff like that that fuels rumours of something more concerning than just from a medical condition

Thank you

Another great post

One would have assumed there were some braincells in the MoD that would have privately confirmed the June date. Again I blame KP and MoD on this for serious lack of communication. Ideally, KP should have not said anything at the moment

No it would not. IMO, many more people like me would shut up the chatter as nonsense as the rumours would have been addressed.

It really depends on the extent of the differences between the two photos as to whether it would make things better or worse to release the original. I think the fact they’re not releasing the original suggests they feel it would make things worse, not better. Read into that what you will.

Jesus wept.

Agreed
As an ardent fan of this family, from what I've heard on the news on a respected channel was - the pic has been edited of the children only. Just like people do.

Therefore, I'm blaming KP for delaying this, ie to release original.

Even I have had my little doubt but I'm very confident its a storm in a tea cup and KP needs to act to stem this out-of-control BS

Some of the comments I've read about William and the forieng press, are ludicrous at best

I have great faith in the Press association as they have high standards.

Hmmm I’m not convinced only the children were edited but nobody knows for sure, except those who have seen the original photo, so it’s all just pointless speculation really. KP are to blame for releasing the edited photo in the first place in my opinion and very naive to think it wouldn’t be scrutinised.

William is responsible for KP. He employs them. He should take responsibility for this shitshow. He won't.

Jesus wept indeed Lorelai.

I wonder quite what would be needed to make this kind of worthless chatter stop…

Absolutely he won't

How do people know Kate didn’t ask for changes?

William stood up for his staff when they were being bullied by Meghan, though. And Kate has already held her hand up to say that she did the photoshopping when she and William totally could have blamed the Palace staff (as others did) but that’s obviously not her style.

And on something like this, the buck does stop with Kate and William - their staff may have been advising them, but the decisions are made by the Principals.

Someone on TikTok has come up with the theory that the photo was taken in November 2023 based on how similar the clothes are to the engagement where Kate and the children visited a baby bank.
Based on this theory, clothes have been added and colours changed but the outfits are very similar to what was worn on that day.
KP should have released the original and not lied about the date that it was taken imo. If Kate is well and recovering then they should have stuck to the after Easter appearance and not done things like the pap photos yesterday which cheapens their brand and is going to fuel more outrageous conspiracies.

Coming up for 3 years ago, my late husband's regiment held a drumhead service.

The Queen was the Colonel-in-Chief. We'd been told by the regiment that her previous visit to the regiment would be her last one.

Nevertheless, I got an invitation from regiment to attend to the service. Unusually, I was told that I had to confirm by x date and turn up on the day with two forms of ID.

On the day, I was surprised that no one was interested in my ID - just my ticket.

Got in. Found a place to stand. Was handed an Order of Service. It stated that it would take place in front of Her Majesty the Queen.

Podium party came out. Only the Duke of Kent.

The chaplain announced that the Queen had had to call off because of predicted bad weather disrupting her helicopter travel from Balmoral. In his autobiography, the D of K said the same (and commented on the irony that the weather had been fine).

My take on it is that anyone with a bit of common sense would have known that the Queen was too frail for the trip and that there should have been no expectation of the Queen's presence, particularly when we'd already been told that the her previous visit to the regiment was the final one.

What I’m hearing from that BoohooWoohoo is that some of the people in the photograph wore clothes that they already had in their cupboards, and which their mother had already decided were good choices for them to wear when their pictures were going to be shown publicly. Am I missing something?

It is starting to feel like a smokescreen for another serious situation. Could be Russia, KC, PW or the DC. Who knows but they are not this inept.

If KC is ill and PW needs to take over the crown then this needs careful planning as too much instability could cause the monarchy to fall.

I don't actually believe this btw.

Nothing, nothing at all. Anyone can post whatever nutty thoughts they have. Algorithms create echo chambers so all these exaggerated rigid points of view get reinforced elsewhere online.

In real life you'd probably never ever speak to someone like the poster who wrote that particular weirdness but on Mumsnet all these absurd voices get aired equally. I have to stay away from the royal boards now, it's just too crazy. Mumsnet did not use to be like this, it used to be smart, funny, quirky and fun. The royal board attracts certain kinds of people and it's impossible to have civilised chats. It's a bit full on and rather fanatical, really.

I hear you @Deardoofus

My family doesn’t have any die hard fans. Seems a bit unfair, we’re fucking brilliant.

It was their fault though. They should not have let it be published. Is not about the editing. A mum can play with photoshop in private. It's the extensive editing and then publishing that's the issue. They are meant to be professionals. William as their boss needs to take responsibility for their mistakes. Even morecso ifvhe hasnt briefed them properly or insisted this was published, or even ifvhe has appointed incompetent staff. If he wants to be ' just like us' he needs to take responsibility ' just like us' Not blame his wife.
