Richard Eden, the DM’s royal editor, said on Palace Confidential that he was disappointed in by the staff and by William. Even went so far as saying that it wasn’t the gentleman thing to do, to let his wife take the hit. That they have paid comma staff and nobody should have let that leave their desk without being checked. Something to that effect. Surprising as he’s such a loyal lover usually.

It doesn’t rain but it pours for the beleaguered Cambridges. ‘Not Dicky!’ Wills will cry when he sees. ‘Hush!’ Kate will hiss, pausing her YouTube Photoshop tutorial for the 12th time…

I will say that it looks like they have been badly advised.

It was 100% ok to not release any photos and for Kate to take 3 months off due to a medical situation. They just needed to hang in there and let the public wait 3 months. During this time other royals needed to step up and fill the media void. They didn't hold their nerve and ended up making a big mistake by sharing a photoshopped image. I don't know who's idea it was to share a photo that is heavily constructed but it's unfortunate that it didn't occur to them that this was not a good idea. Unless the furore about the picture was intended to distract the public from Kate's illness. Whatever it is, the royal family are not showing strong and secure leadership during this crisis. Managing the media must be one of the top priorities after security I would have thought. How could this be so bangled? It's not about conspiracy, it is a lack of leadership and quality advice. I am guessing that the stress Harry and Meghan have cause the family has really undermined their resilience. However they should have palace aids to catch this sort of thing.

There’s a few threads on here where someone has unflattering pic on FB or whatever and everyone talks them down from asking the person to remove it, or whatever

That initial car pic could be Kate’s version on a global scale though, all the new pics just makes it more of a thing

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was her request, I can relate to disliking bad pics

Serenster · 12/03/2024 13:48

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?

KP specifically said that it was a 2024 photo. A bit of a coincidence if they all rewore clothes from a specific day in 2023.

Kate is being royally screwed over. That’s my instinct on this, the palace are closing ranks, and they have fed Kate to the dogs over the Mother’s Day photo.

I didn’t have much respect for William before but now I can’t stand him. What kind of man uses his beleaguered hospitalised wife as a human shield for their own fuck up??

How can anyone consider him to be a gentlemen or even a decent person at this point?

Its disgusting. I hope she leaves and enjoys the life she deserves. No wonder her face is turned away.

Oh my goodness this is some creative writing

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

The whole thing is pathetic and distasteful.

Well she's not dead or in a coma which dispels about 60+% of the SM conspiracy theories

strictly speaking this could be a lookalike etc no proof its actually her ?

Says who? William is a total disgrace. Not exactly breaking news. If we did a poll here on MN I am pretty sure Willys popularity is in free fall right now.

peppermintcrisp · 12/03/2024 14:38

They could be checking their Global Brand? It is clear they are very much in demand!

But you have no idea who asked for the changes. Maybe Kate did

As for she can’t look at him do you ever look out a car window or do you gaze at your dh at all times whilst in a car

It is really odd that having wheeled her out to prove all is well, they didn't make a better attempt to look like all is well.

Oh give over! Kate didn’t take the photo even, William did ‘apparently’ last week. He should have taken the hit.

The frantically organised pap shot yesterday was another PR disaster, the fact we can’t even be sure it is Kate tells us everything we need to know about her desire to be there, paraded in front of the media. Had Kate welcomed the opportunity no doubt we would have seen her signature smile and wave. Clearly she looks sad. Clearly she doesn’t want to be there. William is looking at his phone that’s how interested he is in supporting his wife. It beggars belief.

I feel desperately sorry for Kate. The palace are clearly not interested in protecting her at this point, and she is looking very exposed.

‘Give over’

People get worked up about this stuff

You don’t know why she was looking out a car window. The fact you’ve summed up their relationship from it is.. extra

Severalwhippets · 12/03/2024 14:51

The only job I am assuming W&K were instructed to do was clearly to reassure the nation that all is well in the RF yesterday, and quite frankly it was total failure and created even more uneasy questions. Kate’s body language alone speaks volumes. I would say their marriage is over, best case scenario.

They had one job, and she choose to turn away. William choose to look at his phone. It looks bad, because it is bad. It’s uncharacteristic to say the least.

Oh here we go. H&M have been gone for about 4 years now but this is still all their fault.

Roussette · 12/03/2024 16:09

@Serenster,seriously you don't have to pick up on every single post of mine, you really don't
I was agreeing with someone about William not taking responsibility, you ignore the original poster and their post, I wrote just three words ("absolutely he won't") and I get a massive spiel back from you.
It happens a lot to anything I post and quite frankly I'm getting a bit tired of everything I write being "fact checked" by you

HelenaCh9 · 12/03/2024 16:28

C should get away from this shit show and fast. She could live for another 45+ years. There’s a better life out there for her. Billy Idle will manage without her.

Let's all not forget that pretty much the last thing that happened before Kate took sick leave, Scobie published his nasty little book with that ever so oooooopsi translation mishap claiming she is the royal racist.

For a woman who has talked about being bullied in school and who has not made one wrong step, with a squeaky clean image that sort of negative publicity must have been absolutely unbearable. She wasn't able to defend herself. Why? Was she actually the royal racist? Or is she taking the hit for another family member?We are lucky to have Kate, she is not full of herself and is trying to do her best serving the country as a royal and raising a well rounded future King.

I'd like to know what Scobie is doing now and how he feels about behaving in this torturous way towards Kate. He is a nasty bully.
