This indeed is great news!!!!!!

I'm very pleased to see her in good health!!

Oh sorry smilesy I read you wrong: you did see her with Paddington. Thought you were questioning something I saw WITH MY OWN EYES.

Is your ' contact' the person who told you you had superhuman powers of deduction that meant you could tell people's characters even when you had never met them? Did they then ask you to loan them £10k until they got their inheritance from the King of Botswana? ( just in case this happened, don't do it, it's a scam)

So he just pretended to the Queen he liked marmalade to impress her? What a forelock tugger 🙄

She's not "missing"

She'll been unwell enough to require an operation that needs a couple of months to recuperate. So she's exactly where she's meant to be - at home (probably at least 2 of them, Adelaide Cottage in termtime and Anmer Hall in the school hols) and in private until around Easter

(I still think she'll be at church at Easter> And also suspect a phased return to duties in April, fully back when Lambrook term restarts late in April

This just popped up from LBC

I rarely post but it's just as likely as any of the other conspiracies 😆 . She stepped back from duties to get the last few weeks of training done! Wonder how she qualified.

It’s the exact same article as being published everywhere else. Word for word.

At this point, they’re trolling us.

I think that's exceptionally short for final prep for BM100!!

And of course they can't say exactly when she'd be back and recuperated as Laz wouldn't let them. But knew they'd be OK to say around Easter, because he's doing a charity trail from 7/04.

It's the only one that's safe, you see; no spectators, no pix until afterwards, nicknames not names in the early stages.

(btw, IYK,YK and there is a BM100 thread, opened in anticipation, but still awaiting news of the conch)

He’s playing the game to get into their lofty human circle, like a good little Stepford bear. Left to his authentic self, he’d be rolling around in his own shit and stealing picnics.

Normally, no. But given all the speculation, you'd expect someone to.

I've mulled it over and I think it's fellow mumsnetters

She vanishes every school holiday.

They let everyone think it's the kids, but really it's the training. And she sees a Belgian dentist who attested to her suitability.

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator
Are you Kate?

Ah, that makes sense. As in, "How do you do, fellow mumsnetters?"

Not really, most people respect other people's privacy. Most people aren't speculating so wildly in normal every day life.

Also seeing a royal isn't something unusual around Windsor, the Yorks have been seen in a pub in Virginia Water on occasions in the past.

If people are all respecting their privacy, why have they gone to the Sun to anonymously report that they saw them?

Why let any truth stand in the way of spouting unadulterated pish though? It is almost as though they are just here for the drama…

Exactly, with the she looked happy and healthy line. But not one person took a snap. Or when she was in the car with William. Every single person who saw them respected their privacy, for the first time ever.

Makes sense that @StedeBonnet 🏴‍☠️ 😊

Gosh - John Kelly's aged!!

😂

I can’t believe he would do such a thing! Roll around in his own shit 🙄. Do you have photos or a link 🤔

I wish that “announcement” thread had not been pulled. It was a rogue’s gallery of lovely posters rubbing their hands and one saying they’d be disappointed if there was no Big News. There were other very nasty predictions. I always wonder what these people are like in real life…

Every single person who saw them respected their privacy, for the first time ever.

That’s a nonsense statement. No- one has ever been able to track Kate and William’s movements on a daily basis, even though they obviously pass hundreds of eyeballs and phones as they travel to engagements, to private appointments and around and between their homes. Photos taken by members of the public and published on social media are by far the exception rather than the rule.
