Do not read or comment if you aren't interested! Shamefully starting a new Kate related thread for the fellow people like me who are so far down the rabbit hole they need to talk it out with fellow tin foil hat wearers 🤙 I want to know.. what do you think? Where is she? The wild theories? Will she make the Easter Day service? What the hell is going on over at KP? I think she's seriously ill and will be stepping back soon. I've got popcorn and I've got alllllll night, let's dissect.

I would really like to believe this - but I don’t.

Here is why.

At the moment the royal family’s credibility and reputation is being blown to smithereens worldwide. Even supporters and royalists are questioning their continued viability. I don’t think for a second this would be happening if it really was as simple as what you have described.

If Kate wanted to retain her position within the family - now she is out and about in cars etc apparently - I think she and William would be moving heaven and earth now to shore up public support - but they are not.

Even now knee deep in this awful, awful situation no one is doing or saying anything.

That is why I believe it is far, far more serious than surgery having unexpected complications. Or puffy faces or steroids etc.

There are too many questionable indicators: the missing wedding ring. William looking entirely checked out in the car, no proper statements or explanations. The children not being in school. No sign of the Middletons (always usually seen to be supporting the couple) a news black out, William pulling out of his speech at an important memorial. The fake photo and Kate taking responsibility despite not having taken the picture, it was William.

Too many things do not add up.

If this was simply about Kates ‘recovery’ we would be seeing a huge campaign now to get the family ‘back on track’, but there is just radio silence. It’s now deafening.

I now sadly expect the next statement to be that they have officially separated. I dearly hope to be wrong on this.

Why is Unc suddenly allowed to do reality TV when he wanted to do it since the beginning. No negative pr deflection for the Middletons when their business folded. It is not a short term strategy is it? It's bloody annoying how the trophy wife produces the lovely heirs and then becomes redundant. History repeating itself endlessly.

Agree with this. Until the memorial, the insane speculation was just in the parts of the internet where insane speculation on any topic can be expected. Then with the faked photo it went properly mainstream as they effectively announced they have something to hide.

I disagree with this and @MrsPelligrinoPetrichor.
There was loads of speculation before the memorial, people kept asking where she was. Then the memorial jammed it up and then photo-gate sent everyone wild.

But questions over lack of seeing/hearing her were being asked long before the memorial. You only have to look back on here to see the multitude of threads demanding to know where she was.

But they fucked with the photo and now there will always be people who believe something more dark was afoot, even if she does emerge at Easter.

The missing wedding ring if anything makes me think the marriage is fine. Otherwise that would have been on the list of essentials for the photo, if William was trying to portray things as happier than they are in that regard.

100% @ColleenDonaghy, if there was a big cover up about the marriage this would have been important. But it wasn’t.

I also don’t understand how people think this is the end of the family altogether? Even if their marriage does break down. Charles marriage broke down and was played out very publicly and uncomfortably but the RF went on. If their marriage was over, and I’ll eat my hat if it is because I really don’t think that’s the case, then it wouldn’t signal the end of the royal family at all. Christ, they’ve got Andrew not sweating at Pizza Hut and they’re still going. Yet another broken marriage isn’t going to be the nail
in the coffin.

I think there's generally been a narrative that William and Kate were going to repair the damage done to the family's reputation by Charles' generation. Here was a couple who fell in love at uni, she's from a normal, loving, stable family and would bring that to the royal family. They would prioritise raising their children in a healthy way relatable to us common folk.

A classy, drama free family restoring a bit of dignity to the Windsors.

Part truth, part PR of course.

I'm inclined to believe Harry about the extent to which that image was protected by the royal machine.

Of course, if that marriage does fail, now or in the future, that won't mean the end of the monarchy (alas!), but it will be another good chunk of the mystique removed.

Does she have any engagements actually in the diary for Easter and beyond?

@TitusMoan The Independent newspaper which is famous for not covering the royal family, let alone apparently inconsequential members of the aristocracy, published a bland article about Rose Hanbury two days ago. It was such a departure of style and content for a serious newspaper and no explanation was given in the article as to why they had chosen to profile her. Of course the online comments were very explicit and I guess that’s what the newspaper was hoping to elicit.

Well, I follow an interior decorating poster on Instagram. Guess who´s house was on it some days ago? Lady Whatshername and her husband´s. Both posing in different rooms of their uber palatial home. Then out come all these references to her in all these different publications. Coincidence? Who knows. I, personally, don´t think so. I believe he had an affair with her. I don´t think KM will divorce him over that though. She definitely has some important health problem, how bad or how chronic will come out in the end. It always does.

I think if you'd asked the general public - not those posting online about the royals, just the average person - pre photo, they would have said she was recovering, leave her in peace, nothing to see here.

Post photo I think far more people are sceptical.

I think they don't usually announce their engagements in advance any more, so we can't read anything into it.

They did ask the MOD to remove a reference to her attending something at trooping the colour in June though, which is a bit suss.

1 million dollars for the real answer to that.

Bambarr · 15/03/2024 11:06

I don't think Kate has any say in the sloppy narrative being put out by that dysfunctional institution. They could pin the blame on her for anything they like but she is not powerful enough to contradict them.

See it was already all over the media, so I think it was in people’s minds but I think photo-gate made people cross. So whilst the speculation was always there, the attitude towards it changed.

For me it's the lack of leaks from the kids school Lambrook. Surely parents there know the royal jizz but apparently the children aren't going to school so that puts a firm stop to any Lambrook leaks.
Also find it very obvious that the Middleton's aren't front & centre, photographed with the kids etc. The only shot of them was the pic of Carole & Kate in the car. I'm very glad that Kate has such a tight knit family. She will need them.

ColleenDonaghy · 15/03/2024 11:12

People keep saying the children aren't at school, but seriously, where is the evidence for this?

The media commented that the photo of Kate and Carole was likely on the way back from the school run.

Ferrymerseymo · 15/03/2024 11:13

I’m going out on a limb here with my outrageous theory…she’s at home recuperating from major abdominal surgery and won’t resume public duties till after Easter. Just like we were told in December. Everything else speculation and bullshit.

Probably because her face is swollen and she doesn’t want anyone to see it?

Bambarr · 15/03/2024 11:17

Consider this. Even If she had photoshopped the picture and she was also really poorly after major surgery then an institution that cared one iota about her would put one of their multitude of staff forward to accept the blame. Even if she insisted on taking the blame, it would not be allowed as the backlash would be too stressful to a convalescent.

But they didn't say that did they? They tried to lie to us and pull the wool over our eyes. I couldn't care less if a photo was released or not. I was fully in on letting her recuperate in privacy. That's the whole point. They did it! Even when they have to admit it, strange people piling in completely unable to accept that they shouldn't have done it and have opened themselves to speculation and comment.

Oh I agree with you, God knows what they were doing, they need to fire whoever advised them to do it, it was crazy.

Im merely pointing out that that, if she has had surgery, is the likely reason for not wanting to put out the original photo or any further photos of herself. Her personal brand is her looks and style, she won’t want to compromise that.

Ferrymerseymo · 15/03/2024 11:22

I think they issued the photo to appease the great unwashed. Unfortunately for them they made a botched job of editing it and they’ve only added fuel to the flames . From now on the only photos they are likely to release will be taken by professional photographers and they will be a rare occurrence after this fiasco.

CurlewKate · 15/03/2024 11:25

Personally, I hope it is a separation and it's announced as soon as possible. But I'm always on the side of women breaking out of crap relationships. She can come and stay with me if she likes.
