That’s not Kate. No way!

[Bluesky91]

Who are they fooling!!?? That’s no way Kate. There are 1000s of pics of this woman all over the internet. NONE look like this. It’s not her!!

@smilesy, Does she live in "Farnham Common, Gerrards Cross" by any chance?

How did you guess? 😂😂

I'm starting to remember why I don't usually venture onto the 'royal' boards.

And that was fine. Until photogate and then the whole thing kicked off.

If you really think the story is just SM and not all the papers then you haven’t been paying attention.

That’s not the same thing as people actually caring.

me too...

Trending all over the world” ?? Hate to break it to you, but the fact you see this as a dreadful scandal doesn’t make that the consensus. Most people are just interested in Kate and wish her well.

It’s not a scandal but it is a thing. Nor do I think many are that interested in Kate per se.

she is possibly the most famous and one of the most admired women on earth.

oh my goodness... this board! the sycophancy is part of the reason this caused such a fuss in the first place!

I think anyone who thinks this is not a major event and caused harm to the reputation of both the palace and the couple, is seriously committed to the monarchy or just deluded. This was deliberate deception, faking a photo to create a particular narrative and therefore lying. Why? That question and mistrust in them is not going away. Why else is every photo and sighting being picked over or media outlets reviewing other KP released photos?

The picking over has been across the media internationally - including US and European papers etc.

If you think this is about liking or disliking you’ve completely missed the point.

Exactly, you are right. It is about the reputation of the "firm" not really about Kate at all.

Yep.

100%.

This is not just going to disappear now, every photo they release or have released to the media is going to be picked over, this is the inevitable consequence of their deceptive actions so don't blame the public or posters on here for that.

Just one random example: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/king-charles-prince-william-camilla-catherine-b2190758.html

It looks as though the four of them were photographed together on this occasion; yet William looks as though he is standing slightly behind Charles whilst his shoulder is in front. How does that work?

All of Windsor has a Slough postal address. Even Windsor Castle.

Looks like it is trending @TakemetoMandalay

WTAF!!!! 😂😂

This was published this evening:

Ten days after Kensington Palace released a photograph of Catherine with her children – which it later was forced to admit had been altered – the enormous scale of the conspiracies it has fed and generated is becoming apparent.
According to BrandMentions, a company that monitors the spread of hashtags and keywords online, over the past seven days the hashtags #whereiskate #katebodydouble and #katemiddleton have been used on social media accounts and webpages with a total reach of 400 million people, as measured by factors such as account followers.
The hashtags were mentioned 5,400 times, with Instagram accounting for more than eight out of 10 mentions, followed by TikTok, which accounted for 5% of mentions. Posts with those hashtags have been shared 2.3m times and liked 2.2m times.
The speculation has been truly global, with the biggest reach for the three hashtags on Facebook coming from the India Today news magazine page, while one of the biggest reaches on Instagram is from the account of Diario Libre, a newspaper in the Dominican Republic, which has 1.8 million followers.

Anyone who thinks this hasn't damaged KP and it's PR people really hasn't been concentrating
It's worldwide news...the complete manipulation of a photo released to news outlets to create a certain narrative. Lies and subterfuge

Nothing to do with Kate whatsoever. I hope she's getting all the support she needs

Also from that article:

Much of the current frenzy will subside when Catherine resumes royal duties, “so in a sense, who cares, right?” says Lewandowsky. “The world isn’t going to be altered by whatever this person does. But the real problem is, of course, that it contributes to this blizzard of disinformation, misinformation, misleading information on social media – and it makes it increasingly difficult to differentiate between truth and falsehood. That is, in the long run, very concerning.”

It’s a big story, people are intrigued and it’s gossip really

Whether it’ll do anything other than make Kate more in demand I guess we’ll see

No, it does not. All of Windsor has an SL postcode, as does Maidenhead. The SL refers to Slough.

It compares with an RG postcode. The RG refers to Reading. Newbury and Henley have an RG postcode but do not have a Reading address.

The SY postcode refers to Shrewsbury. Aberystwyth has an SY postcode but it does not have a Shrewsbury address.

I was just thinking today, that if I were physically and/or mentally frail and had made a public appeal for a period of privacy, I would be beyond furious at my husband - future King of England no less - for being such a useless effing jellyfish.

If I wasn’t divorcing him in January, I’d bloody well be divorcing him by March. He’s her husband, he has power and resources and advisors galore, and he’s let this complete galactic clusterfuck of a situation blow up?

He’d be in the sea so fast he wouldn’t see the sand.

That was what I meant?

It wasn't what you posted.
