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.

Can I just add that Rose Chumley has been at the centre of speculation for years but she has never once been papped! The only photos we see are from official parties.

The fact Rose is the rumoured mistress of the future queen, every paparazzi knows who she is. Photos would be very valuable especially since Christmas but we have never seen them. Someone is protecting her for sure while poor Kate gets fed to the hounds.

THIS!! I was wondering the same! There are so many articles about her but why do all of them use the same few photos that are many years old? Granted, she's not a person in the public eye but neither was Kate when she was a student at St Andrews and there were endless pap shots of her.

It's clearly very easy for the palace (and the future king?) to protect someone if they want to...

How the RF communicates (and leaks) to journalists is fascinating and not always straightforward. I liked this rundown by Nieman Lab (which is the journalism foundation at Harvard); they include the convoy to the hospital in their timeline:

There are some interesting things in that article but it’s important to understand that it’s not been verified by Neiman labs - they quite clearly say this is freelance reporter Ellie Hall’s timeline. Not a verified or factually stood up timeline.

On that timeline she mentions the Dec 28 video that everyone keeps quoting - and she does state that it’s footage from one anonymous Twitter user. But it’s totally disingenuous to even mention it in the timeline because -

the Twitter poster is clearly a conspiracy theory poster putting out wild theories and speculation for clicks - no one else has ever come forward re this footage
it’s not even clear it’s a royal convoy, another user commented on it with claims including photos and licence plates that it was actually the Prime Minister
even if it was a royal convoy there’s no proof that it was from Dec 28 or who was in it
there was no ambulance
there was no proof it was coming from Sandringham or any other royal residence
there was no proof it was going to a hospital
someone in London took a video of a couple of blacked out cars and a police car speeding past at some point in the recent past - it’s absolutely no proof of anything happening to anyone.

This is how fake news and conspiracy theories take hold. It’s very irresponsible of someone like Ellie Hall to claim that this video is part of a ‘timeline’ which shows anything about Kate.

It's possible that the RF or Williams camp feed the press other things to keep the affair out of the papers. But I believe this will only work so long. When the press feel the time is right to fuck W over they will do it. It could be this Sunday or not for another 10 years. Who knows.

Isn't it off, it's just the same few photos! Pippa is always papped, Carole & Michael, James & his wife, Meghan's parents & her sister.. All papped doing utterly mundane things...

Rose is the future kings alleged mistress but not one single pap shot, obviously there is a media black out on pics of her & her hubby! Is this coming directly from the palace?

Surely she would be seen o the school run unless the kids go to boarding school?

@User35352662 it seems that Kate is being thrown to the wolves to spare someone else...

And just like that, here come the Covid phrases. I think we even had “the whole world’s laughing at us” yesterday.

Missing the point of the thread completely but how is “thrown to the wolves “ a covid phrase ? It has possible origins from a Russian tale from the 19th century and appeared in an Assop Fable 🤔

MaturingCheeseball · 15/03/2024 16:14

Just search in the covid threads c.2020 - it was all the time . Clearly quite a lot of people managed to scramble back into the confines of the city walls because they’re here today dredging up the same phrase.

I can't fathom why so many people don't understand that it's NOT about Kate recovering, there was no 'fuss' until the photo that KP released,this is on them.

Show quote history

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor There was a lot of fussing about where Kate was, despite the clear message from the Palace. The fuss was the reason they released the photo. I suspect it was edited bc Kate wasn’t up to being photographed. The hasty editing shows it was probably done as a last-ditch measure to shut the rabble up. And then a MAELSTROM ensued.

concernedchild · 15/03/2024 16:34

@Belichtofalicht the "fuss" before was silly online jokes. It was only once KP got shady about it that it got serious.

I think the simplest explanation is the likeliest.

She needed urgent but not emergency surgery for something like Crohn's, or a scheduled minor op turned into something much more serious. A big op with a long recovery - even without a stoma, having some bowel removed is a big deal and takes ages to get over. For example, other surgeries are available.

They were all a bit blindsided by it and didn't have time to come up with a PR plan. Keeping her medical details private is extremely important to her (makes sense given she has only shared the bare minimum in the past), which is of course perfectly reasonable and very sensible.

To protect her privacy they've kept the details to a very limited close circle within the families and the KP machine, so most people working for them don't know what's up and they're running the PR on a skeleton team by choice.

This leads them to fuck up, a little bit with the "personal matter" at the memorial, and then royally () with the photo. The photo happened because they didn't have the correct people advising them, because the correct people don't know what's what.

She still wants to keep everything private and doesn't want to show her face until it returns to normal - which is sad but understandable on a very human level.

The press are now fuming that they have no idea what's what, and that they were lied to with the photo (which WAS a big deal, even if it wasn't hiding anything more sinister than moon face), hence the Rose articles.

There was no ambulance. There is no evidence it was her or anyone royal in that convoy. The two pap shots are legit, but the one with the face turned was planned and authorised.

I’m sure this pretty much sums it up. I don’t even understand how affairs or divorce or any of the rumours play into the situation as it has unravelled. People keep popping up and knowingly stating how it’s so obviously “ something more”; but none can explain how what we know suggests or even supports that.

MaturingCheeseball · 15/03/2024 14:05

@Missingprincess - you are excitedly posting the exact same things on different threads. Look, why don’t you do your own investigation? Hide in the bushes and take some photos of Rose Hanbury? Why not disguise yourself as a nurse and get in to see if you can take a look at Kate’s abdomen? Possibly inside the abdomen. Oh, and photograph the kids, too, while you’re at it. You clearly admire the paparazzi…

Oooh yes! INSIDE the abdomen, now we’re talking, as after all we do pay taxes.

In fact now I think of it, some stool sample results as well could be a fitting recompense for all the pennies we each pay.

No it wasn’t it was a full on baying mob. WHERE IS KATE? was the demand. Then a load of stuff about how if only she’d post a message of thanks people would stop worrying/thinking she was rude/accusing KP of fucking up/why doesn’t she speak, it must be because she can’t/etc.

Not jokes, not silly, not lighthearted. You are disingenuous.

I think King Charles is seriously ill and other stories are being created as a distraction.
I think Kate has had an attack of Crohns (or similar) had a stoma and is hoping to have it reversed. She’s on steroids and looks puffy, and given how vicious people are she is staying away. The press know but are livid and trying to up the pressure to spill about the King’s health by taunting Kate.

I also think this and agree with Easter glam
