Kate in car with face turned away

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 ?

I understand that. Except people drag Meghan into these threads. Apparently now she should also speak up for Kate.
Kate can speak up for herself, so can her family. Whatever is happening will come to light eventually.

Has anyone said that on this thread about Meghan? and even if they have, it doesn’t make it the general consensus.

@Redglitter "She clearly did not want her face to be seen.

Happy to accept that 'forced' may not be appropriate here.
But do think Kate was happy to be in that car given that there had just been a lot of publicity about a Mother's Day montage and she'd avoided being seen in public since her operation?
You think she just decided she'd pop out and be driven in a car where she was visible. Why would she make that decision ?

@Giovannimilanese if you genuinely want to 'stand against vitriol' you are more likely to succeed if ,instead of making generic statements like 'Your entire output in this thread is toxic' you explained what you thought was so critical of Kate in my posts..
I'd also like to hear why you are so convinced that Kate feels bullied by SM .

Are you incapable of imagining why this all might be deeply distressing for Kate? In fact not only for herself but for her children as well who are old enough to understand what’s going on? Have you even given 5 seconds thought on the psychological harm of being annihilated on social media and mainstream media? not just in this country but around the world? It’s all very well saying she shouldn’t read it but even if she doesn’t, she will know the things that are being said, to expect her to not feel distressed, attacked, bullied and worried for the effect this is having on her children is basically expecting her to have ho human emotion whatsoever, but then again she isn’t being treated as a human being with feelings by so many on here.

Forced is completely inappropriate when you're only speculating

She didn't want her face photographed that seems clear but they said she ess attending a private appointment. So maybe a hospital check up. Clearly something she had to go to

Since William was also going out why not go in the same car. If she's seen the crap online about her this week she's probably feeling quite emotional. Maybe she wanted to travel with him so he'd block her & give her some support

People are just reading far too much into the slightest thing now. Its dreadful

It's spring. The time the Royal Family have their lizard blood injections. She's clearly had a bad reaction because, unlike most of them, she wasn't hatched from an egg.

You can see in this photo of the family on holiday, that they're happier away from the public glare.

I hope everyone read this in David Attenborough's voice? Bravo OP, loving your work!

amberedover1 · 14/03/2024 21:39

I think we can both agree that neither of us know how Kate was feeling or where she was going.
If , as you suggest, she wanted to travel with William for support because she was feeling emotional it would make more sense to be in a car with dark windows.

I am not sure what the point of your reply is. Did I say everyone or allude to it being general consensus?

Yes you did, that’s the narrative you are pushing, so where are these posts saying Meghan should speak up for Kate?

BigWillyLittleTodger it could be argued that not “being treated as a human being with feelings” is actually exactly what happens when you become a member of the RF, especially if you are a woman and marry in. It renders you virtually silent and emotionless inasmuch as you are not allowed to express opinions or say anything beyond bland pleasantries and you must do your duty and be perfectly attired at all times. with a fixed smile, however awful you might be feeling.

In addition, huge pressure has always rested on Katherine’s shoulders , even before all of this furore, by virtue of her being one of the most popular and most competent members of the RF.

I’m not saying all of this crazy sm speculation is edifying but, the monarchy invites the public to share in their very personal family rituals eg weddings and funerals, so it is hardly surprising when the public also feel as if they are invested and entitled to comment when things go slightly awry. The alternative would be that no one cared about the monarchy (my personal hope is that one day no one will) but that is not what they want.

In all of these numerous threads about KM and Wills, I think I have only seen perhaps two horrible comments about KM herself and the rest have been overwhelmingly supportive of her and wishing her a full recovery. The criticism has largely been aimed at Palace PR.

So yes, this can’t be a happy time for her or her family and none of us who are ordinary members of the public can fully appreciate the hideous levels of personal pressure that continual scrutiny brings . However I would argue that it’s being a member of the institution itself that causes the leading figures within it the most psychological upset and not randoms commenting anonymously on the Internet.

I beg to differ, internet bullying is not ok

I think there is more on-line bullying between opposing factions on these royal threads than there is direct criticism of Katherine.

MyopicBunny · 15/03/2024 01:13

For goodness sake. The 'leave her alone' brigade are tedious. These people are kept in the lap of luxury by the taxpayer. Of course people are going to have opinions about them. Boo hoo. Save your sympathy for the people in the world who actually need it.

StickyWickets · 15/03/2024 01:16

Tedious is exactly how you can describe these threads that is certainly true

BenefitWaffle · 15/03/2024 01:27

@StickyWickets so why do you make horrible comments about Harry and Meghan?

One example - Well Meghan definitely married a pussy that’s for sure!

There's an entire "news article" calling her out for saying nothing.

Ok, I admit this will be my first post in anything Royal Family, although I have read the threads for a long time including the Style and Beauty royal ones, but I did just want to comment as I do feel some things need to be said - I apologise for posting on yet another Catherine thread though!

2 days ago Catherine was in the car with William, he was on his way to the Earthshot event. The same day, in Windsor, was Ton Kingston's funeral, where there appears to (thankfully) have been no photographs taken. Was Catherine on her way there to support her sister who was close to him?

I do not believe in any of the conspiracy theories being posted here or anywhere else - Catherine has had abdominal issues and is recovering. We can all relate our own situations - I had an op which was meant to be keyhole with a couple of weeks recovery, however open surgery had to be done and 3 months recovery just about got me nearly normal again! I also spent just over 2 weeks in hospital so the info given for her is perfectly feasible imo.

The photograph, I believe was an honest attempt to publish something on Mothers Day.

The MSM are not happy with the control KP/William is having, hence the various pieces being published, possibly including RH - there is major stirring going on to try and cause a reaction. It is shortsighted imo, as I think William will stand his ground now and in the future about providing photos to the media.

I have no issue with people discussing what is going on, it is news of course which will always see differing opinions but at the end of the day, this is a wife/mother trying to recover, with a husband wanting to protect her and the children. In does not matter who they are.

I think this theory about the funeral is very interesting. In the circumstances the funeral was probably not publicised. William would not have been able to go because of his prior commitment. If it was indeed in Windsor it’s possible Catherine could have left the car discreetly in order to attend and represent their family. Again, given the circumstances, no one else attending would be like to blab, or take photos.

The only mention of this was a goady article in the mirror, and the Megan obsessives have jumped on it like everyone is saying it.

no one in their right mind thinks Megan should say anything about Kate and would be appalled if she thought she was entitled to.

Its sheer lunacy that some folks are using that stupid article as some sort of proof anyone with more than one brain cell thinks such a thing,

actually have seen it said on one of the many threads here! I don't want to copy the posters words because that would be unfair given you've just accused them of having only one brain cell.

AliceOlive · 15/03/2024 12:49

Maybe you should address specific posters words instead of taking one negative post and repeatedly applying it to anyone you perceive as not being supportive of everything H&M.
