Kate in car with face turned away

[amberedover1]

Sadly I've become too interested in Picturegate than is good for the level of hygiene in my household.
But ... that image of Kate turning away has stuck in my mind and is exercising me more than the Mothers Day photo.
If she was going to an appointment surely she'd be in a car with dark windows and not hitching a ride in a car n going somewhere else ?
She clearly did not want her face to be seen.
So she's being forced to do something against her will.
Which now makes me think differently about Harry and Meghan.
Any thoughts ?

Your deductions are flights of fancy rather than logical.

Haven't you got anything better to do?
I need to clean the cat's litter tray

I'm not so much interested in H &M , that was just a by the by . Just thinking about the Royal Family and how they operate .

Oh my god, this is getting ridiculous... step away from the Internet and embrace the world around you, with your own two eyes.

She clearly did not want her face to be seen.

Bloody hell. Look, the only thing she's been forced to do is show her face in public because of all the trash being posted about her being dead/in a coma yadayadayada. What did you want, a wave so people can see she's written HELP ME on her palm?

Duchess and a Large one - bit of pot and kettle going on with you both ?

Some people have looked into the photo and have decided it's another Photoshop job using one of her from another event . This is in a similar vein to suggesting that the Mothers Day one was the cover of Vogue (iirc) from a few years ago.

So who is it you think forced her into a car? The legendary ‘Grey Men’? Her husband? Her security detail?

Maybe she wanted to spend time with her husband in the car and they were both going in the same direction.
Maybe she was looking the other way because William said "oh look there's that fat squirrel Louis told you about" so turned to look out the window.
Who knows.
Leave her alone.

I wonder where her hands were? What about her handbag? If it was on the floor it means she is having an affair with the bloke in the local off licence but if was in the back seat it means she is planning on holidaying in Butlins, don't get me started on which foundation she was wearing or there may have been a spy camera in the bottle

So when Charles divorced Diana, they started to paint her as crazy. They tried to make it so Camilla was the more acceptable option.

Now rumours are surfacing that Kate is considering stepping down form royal duties and William is concerned she is "emotionally unstable". Meanwhile articles are running about William's rumoured mistress.

Do you not see a pattern?

They also threw H&M under the bus again claiming their pregnancy photo was fake, and the photographer debunked that within minutes. The firm will only protect those they want to, and they only want to protect those with royal blood. Kate has given William and heir and now she's expendable by their measure.

This!

The direction someone looks is surely controlled by the photographer and where they are though. What an odd thing to say 🙄
if someone takes a photo of me from behind an I also looking away?

DH reckons she's had a nose job.

🤣🤣🤣 @ "wave sp people can see she's written HELP ME on her palm". Now I think of it, that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Her head was fully turned to be facing away from William. She wasn't even looking straight ahead.

The picture was also one from when she and William visited the Somme in 2016.

Using your logic (using the word very loosely there) that includes the DC as their 'blood' is half expendable commoner.

Fucking hell. Just when you think people have outbatshitted themselves.

These “rumours” you talk about are only being spread by people like you!

Do you not see a pattern?

Ok , it was a performance Kate was forced to go through because of media attention.
The thing is , if that were the case she was either badly advised or she made the wrong decision because what did it achieve ?

I'm lost for words 🙄

Who knew people could have such crazy perspectives right here on Mumsnet?

This thread is an eye opener for sure

@concernedchild please stop spreading misinformation- it was not a photoshop of her Somme photo.

The car did have tinted windows - you can tell by looking at the different colour of the bricks of the wall behind when seen directly and when seen through the glass.

I think intrusive photography of this sort is wrong, and that outlets should refuse to print images taken using such techniques.

She already had one.

They were very well advised, and were saying nothing unless/until there was a significant update.

But they always release a Mothers Day pic, and so decision was made to do one this year. It might, with hindsight, have been better to skip this year (even though that would also have fuelled the "where's Kate?" tantrum)

(I do hope that all future images from all public figures will be similarly scrutinised, and outlets will refuse to print modified ones)
