TMZ Producer says it ‘might not’ be Kate!

So after days of so many of us saying it is not Catherine, and being screamed at, shut down and called ‘crazies’ and ‘trolls’ and all kinds of offensive names. It turns out we were right after all. It does not appear to be Cathrrine (no shock there for many of us) According to the producer that beamed this out across the world. Clearly unverified. Incredible that the news outlets just went along with it - no questions asked. What does that say about the quality of our journalism?

It was a huge gas lighting exercise.

So now we know we have one fake Mother’s Day photo and now one fake farm shop footage - it begs the question in a much more pressing way - where is Catherine? The stupid memes have to stop. This isn’t funny or anything to joke about.

No one can verify even a single shot ( I am discounting the photo of Pippa in the car with Carole, and someone’s head in the car turned away in windsor)

I don’t believe we are going to see Catherine this Easter or at any time soon. I don’t know where she is, or what has happened to her but I feel extremely worried for her.

I await Kensington Palace’s statement - it’s about time we learnt the truth. How can it be any worse than what has been speculated?

What will happen next? As this can not continue any longer.

When did stalking and harassment become acceptable?

Oh come on. You’re devaluing what stalking and harassment is.

Easter is next weekend. It’s not three weeks away.

OP Kensington Palace said that she would return after Easter. You are clearly heavily invested and concerned about the PoW so, for your own sake and hers, just don't expect to see her out hunting for Easter eggs next weekend. "After Easter" could mean anytime.

Freakinfraser · 21/03/2024 07:52

But they did, a palace source stated she’d went to the school, then out to a farm shop. The footage was released after this point, as the person captured it then went into negotiations.

I'm absolutely certain that no palace source ever said "she'd went" 😂😂

On that I think we can all agreee

LittleGlowingOblong · 21/03/2024 07:57

If KP have come out and verified a lookalike couple as real - after photoshopgate - then that is most definitively a chapter in “How to lose an information war”

As soon as Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. History repeating itself ? Hopefully not with the same outcome.

Cinai · 21/03/2024 07:58

OP, I can’t comment on photo theories etc, but I can help you with your question ‘where is Kate’: She had abdominal surgery in early January and is now recovering at home. Expected to be back at work after Easter.
Hope that cleared it up and you can get on with your day now!

Freakinfraser · 21/03/2024 07:58

Rosscameasdoody · 21/03/2024 07:53

Diana, Princess of Wales. Williams’ own mother. Some of us remember something very similar to what’s happening now with Kate. The media were obsessed with Diana and her mental health suffered as a result. She was hounded, harassed and finally chased to her death. By paparazzi doing the bidding of a public who felt they had a right to know every intimate detail of her life, and who eagerly lapped it up, and then publicly, and hypocritically grieved when the result of their obsession was her inevitable and yet entirely avoidable death.

Edited

Yes I also find it reminiscent of the hounding of Diana, except social media didn’t exist then, so the media did it instead, now as social media exists and everyone has a phone, it’s so much worse.

the speculation over Nicola `Bulley was another very sad example of this kind of frenzy. With all the internet sleuths giving it wild speculation.

im guessing it will be the same people in many instances.

The photoshopped photos weren’t of a lookalike family though.

Telekoma · 21/03/2024 08:01

Next thing we know, William will be nipping into madam Tussauds to be snapped beside Kate.
Come on op, all this hysteria about her is ridiculous.
They said at the start that she wouldn't be around until after Easter, so why is everyone demanding an appearance?
Have people really got nothing better to occupy themselves with?

Whatafustercluck · 21/03/2024 08:04

I think this is all getting silly now. I'm not a monarchist and thought the Mother's Day photo fiasco was weird (as was Kate not wearing her wedding ring). I believe that shit goes on, as with every family up and down the country. And I believe there may be some truth in the affair rumours. Plenty of normal men with beautiful wives behave in exactly the same way, so why not our beloved Wills?

But the frenzy accompanying all of this has taken quite a dark and sinister turn. Some people are questioning absolutely everything. Sure, stranger things have happened in the world with body doubles etc but most often the simplest explanation is correct. She's had surgery and is recovering. We knew this and we knew she wasn't expected to be back until around Easter. She may well be having some marriage problems too. But whatever it is, whatever is going on with her/ them, they believe it's a private matter while they work through it.

But she's not dead, not in a coma and not being held against her will in the Tower of London dungeons, or under house arrest with an ankle tag! The truth is, 99% of the time, more mundane than that. At some point she'll re-emerge and either continue as normal or there will be an announcement. But either way, this constant speculation about a woman the vast majority of us have never met is just weird. I also agree that people have learned nothing from Diana. History repeating itself?

Capmagturk · 21/03/2024 08:04

Oh well if he says it, must be true.

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 21/03/2024 08:05

@Thekatzenjammerkid No, I had to get the police involved when an ex was hounding me. Posting online with fake concern and asking if anyone had seen me because he worried about my mental health. Posting all kinds of shit about how I had shut myself off from the world when I was actually just avoiding him.

It's happening to kate but far more extreme. Enough to destroy anyone's mental health really. She's human like the rest of us, don't you think all these rumours might be affecting her mental health?

TammytheFaceGhost · 21/03/2024 08:08

These threads remind me of the One Direction madness. Not sure on exact details, I think some people were convinced that Harry Styles and one of the other ones were secretly gay and in a relationship with one another, but for unknown reasons in these enlightened times, they "couldn't" reveal this. They'd analyse videos for an example of one of them looking at the other and go on for pages and pages about what it "meant".

Nutjobs, everywhere.

Misthios · 21/03/2024 08:11

OK let's run with the "it was a random couple shopping" theory.

Now this footage has been everywhere for the last few days. Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have seen it. So why hasn't this "random couple" come forward and said hang on, that's not Kate and William, it's me and Dave picking up steaks for dinner. Or any of the friends/relatives of the random couple approaching the Sun, or another international news outlet to give their story - they would earn ££££ for doing so.

What the OP is really trying to get at is that it's a set-up, that "they" have constructed an elaborate hoax to get two randomers to act as Kate and William, set up the trip to the shop, set up the guy with the phone to film it all to sell to the press to divert attention. Because that fits with the conspiracy that Kate is dead/in a coma.

SheepAndSword · 21/03/2024 08:11

I had an op this week (nothing as serious) and I'm so glad I can rest and not be scrutinised. I'm not PoW though!

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 21/03/2024 08:12

Severalwhippets · 21/03/2024 05:33

Actually, we have been deceived with a fake photo on mother day, and now fake footage of a visit to a farm shop. It’s certainly unacceptable to me for this charade to continue any longer!

At this point we have no idea what it is true and what is not. Has she even had ‘major surgery’ ? Who knows. I am sick and tired ‘LordEmsworth’ of the public being treated with contempt.

But the Palace didn’t release that footage. A member of the public took it and sold it-it is nothing to do with the Palace as to whether the video is fake or not🤷‍♀️

WhoTurnedTheLightsOff · 21/03/2024 08:12

@TammytheFaceGhost Oh god yes I remember that - it was weird and unsettling IMO. And @Rosscameasdoody you are 100% right about the parallels with Diana and esp your point about it being mainstream media and social media now. Mainstream media did enough damage as it was. If I was Kate's parents I would be beside myself with worry for her about how this pans out.

roadee · 21/03/2024 08:12

Like a feeding frenzy isn't it? All the hypocrites who have ranted in the past about how Diana was treated, rubbing their thighs and tapping out their conspiracy theories. Fucking vultures.
How about considering how you'd feel if you were expected to have your private medical issues shared with the world? Trying to manage the information you gave to your children while trying to aviod them being exposed to mad rumours? Worrying that children at school will repeat wild rumours to them that they've heard from their parents. Then you finally get out, get video'd and the attacks go on. You wouldn't even want to get out of bed in the morning, let alone go back to the farm shop.

Same here ex rang the school to ask if I was taking the children in had they seen me he "heard" I was "drinking again" (nice implication there) etc etc the teacher used to try to discreetly smell my breath in the mornings sit as close as possible when I was in doing parent workshops etc I laughed when I found out because I'm virtually tea total and he knows it (occasionally have a glass at new year or at weddings) the school were confused that I was presenting as a busy parent of three not a drunken lush like he was painting me out to be 😂 I can laugh now but at the time I was devastated

Teddleshon · 21/03/2024 08:14

I’m just completely dismayed by all this furore. I seriously worry for the mental health of our nation given how many seem to have been sucked into this nonsense.

I just can’t believe that people don’t have better things to do with their time, it’s depressing.

LittleGlowingOblong · 21/03/2024 08:19

No, but the two taken together are cumulative phoniness.

Notlikeamother · 21/03/2024 08:19

Severalwhippets · 21/03/2024 04:38

So many of us said it’s not her, only to be shot down repeatedly and told we were ‘crazy’ It was a reasonable question to ask given it looked nothing like her.

The fact remains we haven’t seen Catherine since Christmas Day. Three months ago now.

And this matters because…?

BronwenTheBrave · 21/03/2024 08:21

To quote the producer: ‘he was initially 95 per cent sure it was Kate, but now he's not so sure’.
C’mon people, this is utterly indisputable evidence, what more proof do you need!!!

LittleGlowingOblong · 21/03/2024 08:22

It might not matter, save for the fact there have been such strange silences and lies emanating from Kensington Palace.

KP own their share of this, it’s unfair to lay the blame entirely with us tinfoil hatters!

Sashamalia · 21/03/2024 08:24

I do feel a bit worried about kate.

I hope she's ok
