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!!

I never speculated on divorce, dv pregnancy, aliens etc - the photos were faked though that was a fact - hence the kill notice. That was what alerted some people to the fact that something was not right, despite all the self-righteous ranting that everything was fine and she would turn out up at Easter as if nothing and happened.

All day bloody long @MrsFinkelstein

You can bet there will be all manner of doubling down though.

I have little idea what this means, but I get your general message, and you are wrong.

..

Not sure the photo montage is necessary – she's not dead!

Well I hope everyone is happy now !
And enjoyed themselves!
😡

I am with you, but it’s better than talking to… well, you get it.

Right?

I don’t feel like throwing my words down a dark black hole of stupidity.

I never disagreed with the “she’s had surgery she should be let in peace”. My comments related to the appalling media management that meant she wasn’t. She should have been much better protected by her comms team.

It’s ridiculous to to tell me I have no empathy simply because I called it right. Despite not being a royalist I have the greatest sympathy for her and her family. It’s a terrible thing for anyone with young children.

Oh bloody hell-do people really have to be congratulating themselves on what they "knew"?

You’re displaying a lack of empathy by posting endless screeds to prove that you, unlike other foolish trusting idiots, knew ‘there was something wrong!!!’ Anyone with a normal emotional range would be thinking ‘God, was I twat with my endless nitpicking and criticism of the Palace PR team who were obviously doing their best while trying not to give anything away that she didn’t want to give away? Did I feed into the media frenzy that has meant she felt obliged to publish a touched up photo of herself then a video revealing the private medical details she obviously didn’t want to reveal?’ Maybe consider whether some self reflection instead of self justification is needed.

I’ve asked a couple of times what the KP team could have done better and the answer always seems to have been ‘Share more medical details, have her show herself in bed reading cards, have her do a video’ when it’s plain she didn’t want to, and now we all know why. How would you have done a better job, under the circumstances?

Surely with hindsight you can see the comms team did nothing wrong? They put out a statement saying she had surgery and was due back at work after Easter. After that she got her diagnosis and, as she said in her statement, her priority was helping her children and family wrap their heads around it. The diagnosis wasn't the comms teams news to share - it was hers, and she clearly didn't want the wider public to know, as is her right. Now, her hand forced, she's updated that initial statement. No fucking conspiracy whatsoever.

Maybe the “appalling media management” was down to the fact that it was a rapidly changing situation and people didn’t know what to do or how to “manage it” as you put it. Media people arehuman too and this is not a situation that you can approach by managing it. It has been revealed that this was why William had missed the memorial service. Obviously they had received the shocking news and didn’t know how to “manage it”. Not everything in life can be run to a slick PR formula

Disgusting behaviour! 😡

It was accepted by anyone with a heart, and in full possession of their sanity, that she was unwell (in need of major surgery; the palace released a succinct statement saying all of this) and in need of privacy. The PR choices were not remotely strange, the decent among us were perfectly satisfied with what the palace said, and understood that intricate details were her own business and no one else's.

I can't (thankfully) get on a level with the type of mindset that, upon hearing of a young Mum's cancer diagnosis, responds by logging onto SM to congratulate the gossips; you couldn't redden some people's necks with a blow torch!

'In this case', ie a young Mum battling cancer, the conspiracy theorists were true to type (every last one) - a bunch of nasty, sad, ambulance chasing fuckwits.

True they must be reeling

I’m just here for the nauseatingly insincere outpourings of concern from hypocritical guilt-ridden posters who were slagging Kate off yesterday. 🍿

You just can't stop congratulating yourself and how you "called it right" can you? You really need to read your posts back and see just how badly you are coming over.

This would be nice but after watching conversations here for week, I don't think it's possible. The main intention seems to be just to argue and attack each other.

I don't think that it was badly managed.

It's not Easter yet & any update could have been given then imo.

This.

Quite. Wtf? Weird, weird, weird.

oh enough, nobody would be happy a mother of 3 has cancer.

Maybe the “appalling media management” was down to the fact that it was a rapidly changing situation and people didn’t know what to do or how to “manage it” as you put it.

And the fact that the moment they widened the circle who was involved they opened the risk of a leak, and her children finding out while they were still at school for the school term. They said they waited til now so the children will be insulated from the furore while the Easter holidays last. So they kept it very tight, and clearly didn’t seek any wider counsel.

With hindsight, it is perfectly sensible and reasonable. It’s a shame people weren’t prepared to give them the space to negotiate this as they wished.

Not attack people, no.

Try to muffle the noise of nasty gossiping fools and twats? Aye.
