Spanish press reporting Kate was extremely ill

[vaporrub]

I don’t know how credible this is because I saw it on Twitter…

But apparently the media in Spain have reported that Catherine’s surgery was not actually planned, did not go smoothly and she was actually very sick/possibly in a coma for a period of time. And there has been a press blackout in the UK.

Could there be any truth in this? I’m struggling to see WHY something like that would be ‘hidden’ anyway 🤔

See the Yanks have arrived!

Twitter is beyond awful. I don’t know if it’s bots or horrible people, or both.

The head wasn't superimposed, she has actually had a head transplant. Unfortunately they have made a mistake when they were sewing it on and that's why she can only look to the left

Twitter is funny. There was a lot of confusion when she signed off the tweet with a ‘C’ because so many people had no idea that her full name is Catherine not Kate 😅 including British accounts.

@BenefitWaffle I don’t know, but how KP have handled things, it’s attracting all the wrong kind of attention…one of the drivers has been sectioned…

Most surgery is planned a few days or weeks in advance. Planned doesn’t mean non-essential and can wait til July, it just means not unscheduled emergency surgery.

My opinion, not that anyone really cares but I’ll give it anyway, is that the poor woman should be left in peace. She’s obviously had something major go on and she knows that if she’s photographed not looking 100% her best with perfect make up and her glam swishy hair the press would have a field day so she’s hiding away until she’s fully recovered. The rest of us would stick joggy bottom on, hair in a bun not washed, no make up and still do the school run, she can’t do that.

Apart from that I have a mild interest in the Royal Family, I really do not get all the hysteria around them all the Meghan hatred. Prince Andrew (if he did what he is accused of should be in jail, Mummy should not be allowed to pay the victim off). What they do or don’t do doesn’t really affect me and my life so I don’t get it.

Yes the first news reports said broken arm .Am 100% certain of that .

Don’t recall that but I don’t think the British newspapers said she was shot, it was always a crash (that I remember).

The news reports did initially say a broken arm, I remember watching them.

Yes, I've been saying that for a while. Planned surgery for almost anything.
Emergency surgery is just that
Then you have what is know as "elective surgery" often hips/knees etc,

One can play around with the words to make something sound relatively mild when its actually a lot more than that

I blame KP/BP for the recent woes for this family

Reading the posts here, I had a quick look at what other countries gutter press was saying - its not as nasty as some of the comments on forums on the net

IMO, there should have been no pic on mothers day and more so, the other pic in the car

Wishing HRH a speedy and full recovery.

Agreed. The Spanish press has been hinting for a while what's Kate health problem. It's a bit weird because only a few days ago, I answered a post in one of the many threads relating to the POW, saying that IMO, there was a logical explanation connecting all the dots - the abdominal surgery, the long recuperation process, the lack of photographs and ultimately Kensington Palace PR disaster.

It appears El Pais, who is a serious, reputable paper, has finally stopped hinting and come out with it. I don't for a minute believe that the Spanish press have more information than the British, but as you say there is a media blackout in relation to her health they can't print even if it's known.

It's terribly disingenuous to believe that this kind of information can be blocked forever all around the world when we have global mass media and social media sharing information.

There was also on the news a couple of years ago that all her pregnancies didn't go well, which caused some severe health issues.
Well, despite the fact that she's a public figure, she deserves some privacy when it comes to health issues.

Agree with this^ .

Not 'reporting', OP.

Inventing.

There's a difference.

Private citizens: none of our business. People essentially paid by all us, who use media attention only when they choose to in order to shore up public support for an undemocratic institution: all of our business.

I agree with this - it's just madness that people seem to believe each of them is paying a fortune every year towards the RF when in reality it would be a tiny amount. Even if they did individually pay a lot it still wouldn't give them the right to know every little detail of their lives.

😂

Fuck my life.

I suggest you do read the full thread.

@Alondra I am not clear when people refer to El Pais commenting on KM they are referring to an article written in a Colombian newpspaper called El Pais and not the large, reputable Spanish paper? I say this as someone has posted on this thread an article by a Colombian newspaper called El Pais and not the Spanish one? Has there definitely been a Spanish El Pais article as well?

@fairydust11 thank you, I did not know that. Quite sad really.

I've deleted Twitter & Tiktok because of this.

In the past few days I've read

Catherine is dead
William beat her up
Catherine was having an affair with Thomas Kingston & the surgery she had was after a botched termination
William murdered Thomas

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. People seem to forget this isn't a soap opera. This is real people's lives and royal or not they don't deserve this. They also overlook the fact the children, particularly Charlotte & George will have friends who've heard this nonsense

Imagine these poor kids going to school & being told 'oh your Mums dead'

The irony is people saying they think the PoW had MH issues. I cant imagine potentially reading the crap posted online would be helping if that was the case

The sad thing is I don't think these idiots will stop even when she does appear at Easter. They'll be saying it's a clone or something

This whole situation has shown SM at its absolute worst

For those saying we pay for the Royal Family, the RF are not funded directly from our taxes. The RF, not all members, receive funds from the Crown Estate revenue called the sovereign grant which is not our taxes. Of course the monies paid as a sovereign grant to the RF from the Crown Estate could go into the nation’s coffers instead. If the RF was abolished we would still have to fund a ceremonial Head of State which would likely be a President. I don’t know if this would cost less. Also the 2 Duchies generate funds for Prince of Wales and King. Not sure if revenues from Duchies would be owned by the state if monarchy abolished.

@Kinneddar why are you repeating this about Kate? It seems unnecessary.

I'm mentioning it as examples of how absolutely absurd these stories are. Idiots on Twitter etc are posting about it as being fact
