TMZ Producer says it ‘might not’ be Kate!

[Severalwhippets]

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.

If they had said it wasn’t them do you think the conspiracy theories etc would have stopped. People would still be clamouring to see her

“There’s no reason to think”

A meaningless turn of phrase. Ok I’ll throw it back at you - given the secretive behaviour and dodgy manipulative individuals which make up the British RF, “there’s no reason to think” that footage is KM.

@viques oh thanks a bunch! Now i've got that song as an ear worm for the morning!

Surely it would’ve been ‘better’ if there hadn’t been a photo or random sightings. They did say she would be recuperating until Easter and it’s Easter in a week so maybe then we can worry if she doesn’t appear.
imho she had a serious op and unlike us mere mortals she doesn’t have to rush back to work to pay the bills or feel guilty for letting colleagues down so is taking the time to recover or finish treatment.

I am disappointed in William for not protecting Catherine - had they confirmed it was not them at the farm shop this latest PR faux pas could have been avoided.

And what happens next time someone who looks like Kate is photographed somewhere? Perhaps in embarrassing circumstances? Should they confirm it is or not her then? If they don't, will people point to this instance and say that their failure to confirm means that it must be Kate? There's a good reason royals don't comment on pap photos. They have to look at the longer term, not just concern trolling on social media which will be forgotten in a few weeks time.

As for William 'protecting' Kate, you are being patronising under the guise of 'concern'. She's not William's child. She's his wife, with agency of her own. She's a mature woman who has been in the public eye all her adult life. She could issue a statement herself if she chose to.

But that doesn't fit the narrative you want to spin, does it?

The way the comments are going on here is interesting. It's like it's 'virtuous' to not be interested, and to avoid questioning anything. People are signalling that they are members of the virtuous club in increasingly strong ways - e.g. by accusing questioning people of being unwell.
Why?

OP

IMO, the mothers day pic was not what it was, hence not presented as original. However, the video footage was genuine IMO and this was done to stop the uproar re the mothers day pic

Bottom line, it was HRH Kate inn the farm shop vide and looking well, wishing her a speedy recovery

I reckon she's bleached her hair, it looked fucking shocking, tried hair surgery and it went green then fell out. She'll be back at Easter rocking a short bob buzz cut whilst noshing into a Cadburys cream egg on the way prayers with bunny.

Seriously, the guy from TMZ right, he said that could possibly happen. Quite possibly in fact.

So there.

I hope we see her next Sunday fit and well

Why would you see her then when they said after Easter? They didn’t say at Easter. Or, am I wrong and did they? Happy to be corrected😊.

I am disappointed in William for not protecting Catherine

Protecting her from what?

However the deception and lack of information has not served them well.

Literally want to bang my head against a brick wall reading this. The only "deception" was a badly photoshopped family snap which she immediately owned, and the information hasn't needed to be updated since day one - she's had abdominal surgery, it went well, she's out of hospital, she won't be back at work until after Easter. There's nothing else the public needs to know.

Definitely not with the aliens having taken her.

Fruit loops on the internet

PoW’s office statement:

That was not the Princess of Wales photographed at the farm shop.

That was not the Princess of Wales photographed shoplifting pickn’mix in Asda.

That was not the Princess of Wales photographed emerging from a tattoo parlour in Wigan.

That was not the Princess of Wales photographed rolling around on the ground outside Wetherspoons with Rose Hanbury.

Well yes!

Other than that?

Pirates and bananas.

Ok, so I dont usually hang around this board as I am only mildly interested in The RF and KM and I do think we should just leave her alone now BUT having seen this in Trending and looked the footage from the Farm Shop I really dont think it looks like her

People care WAY too much about this.
I wish people cared this much about how the government are running this country into the ground, and ruining all our public services, or the fact that the earth is on fire, or that microplastics are destroying all our ecosystems. But no, we must know what happened to Catherine 🙄

Literally all celebrities are guilty of editing photographs, and nobody seems to care. the RF edit their photographs so everyone looks their best - probably more so when the kids are in them because when have children ever all smiled perfectly at the same time on one picture!

And TMZ? are you joking? If you like conspiracy theories then google TMZ, and see all the batshit things they had done over the years... they are not a trustworthy source of news, and I think it's quite laughable that you believe in a random reporters ramblings😂

Either way... who gives a shit? Leave the poor women in peace to recover, and if you see her at Easter your mind will be at rest (or even more fuelled with conspiracy theories about how Kate has be replaced with a clone / robot / alien)

Oh give over. If KM is suffering from poor mental health it will be from being part of that toxic institution. You know the same as happened to Princess Margaret, Sarah Ferguson, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and of course Princess Diana, who put down in writing that she believed her husband, King Charles, wanted her dead. The common factor is the institution itself, not the British public or randoms on the Internet speculating over the veracity of a photo.

They didn't say. OP is assuming that the Easter mentioned in the statement was Easter Sunday, March 31. It could actually have mean after the Easter school hols, which where we are don't end until April 15.

Think OP might combust if it is after the hols.

The man who filmed the footage was in the shop at the same time as Kate and William and quickly ducked out to take the recording for his family back in Portugal. He says it was her as he saw her with his “own eyes”

All these conspiracy believers need to get a life. It’s simply because they chose not to believe the reality that they’re making up their own narrative. Next min you’ll be telling us the earth is flat 🤣

We do have a statement. She had abdominal surgery and won't be back until after Easter.

All of these 'news sources' with videos of her or not her are irrelevant. You've been told what you need to know. You demanding more information makes you seem absolutely insane and is none of your business.

Honestly this is hilarious.

The Royal Family, mid-January: Catherine’s having surgery then recovering at home til after Easter.

Nutjobs on the internet, literally three weeks later: WhErE iS kAtE wE dEmAnD pRoOf Of LiFe

This has been an incredible dead cat situation for the government to get out whatever they want to hide, buried under waffle and crap from everyone else looking the other way.

Remember them? The tories? The ones with actual power to change things and make laws and fuck the country over repeatedly? The ones who lie and make things harder for the very people who can't take things getting harder? Who already can't pay their bills or buy food or uniform etc because of policies the government did and then fucking over the pound? (we haven't forgotten what Truss and her Chancellor did)

Those who said to let bodies pile high during covid, who delayed locking down so far that we had thousands more die and such a high death rate for a tiny part of the world. Who wanted to only lock down London and to hell with the rest of the country at first. Who gave money to their mates for contracts, often receiving no promised ppe in return. Who have no written off that money. Who fucked the nhs over repeatedly by not giving them the ppe needed (and not getting more when they knew there was going to be a rush on it) so they heightened the danger to staff and patients too. Who sent the elderly back to their care homes wheh suffering covid to the kill off more residents. Whos interest it was in for the elderly and most vulnerable of society to catch covid and pass so they didn't have to pay them benefits or pensions anymore. Who continue to fuck over the nhs and think that a few nights clapping for them was enough and that they don't deserve an actual liveable wage. Who are penalising disabled people by threatening their benefits if they don't start to look for work in jobs that aren't available or adapted for them and won't give them the support they need to get them or keep them. Who talk about removing basic human rights.

That's just a small amount of problems and things we should be concerned about and remembering caused by the people who have ACTUAL power to change things in the country. Not an institution who essentially cost a pound a year who have to make appointments to see each other even when close family and who have to bow and deign to those above them even in private. They're essentially a picture to make things look pretty and bring in people to the country to spend money over here.

They said Easter form the start. It's not Easter, you can't start shouting that you're being lied to and mislead a month (now a week) ahead of what was planned and communicated.

As much as tmz and the sun play the innocent it could have been them paying lookalikes (if it's not Kate and William) to walk along and be filmed on a grainy camera to get people talking and keep the gossip going and driving worldwide hits to their websites. Something like what the op talks just sets off hits again as people look and play the video and try to guess of it is them and gets them payments as papers etc use their footage. You can't trust the papers or gossip sites as they all have agendas too.

I'd hardly call editing a few pictures that contain multiple children who all fidget and pull faces and look away or blink etc or doing what newspaper and magazine people do every day to pictures lying on the sense that you are making it out to be. It's just that she's not an expert so there's issues left behind in the touching up of pictures. Big deal.

The world can't bully a sick woman who can afford real time off to recuperate from a traumatic operation to show her face. That is horrific. And as for moaning about her lying or not saying what she has... Give the poor woman time to come to terms with what has happened to her and to get it put into words properly of that's what she does. It's her own private medical records that at least three people have already illegally tried to access which she now has to deal with on top of recovery, her children and family and the pressure from media and the public. I wouldn't share my private personal business and neither would any of you.

Catherine may not have agency, or the energy to be personally overseeing the comms, they are paid a small fortune to expertly manage the PR. You would think William would ensure it was being done properly.

Kensington Palace had no problem correcting other inconsistencies such as the coma rumours. So why didn’t they simply say ‘Kate is at home resting and recovering, and was not at farm shop on Sunday, she looks forward to a gentle return at Easter as planned’ ?

This whole sorry mess both the Mother’s Day photoshop and now the fake farm shop footage could have been easily avoided. They manage to deal with the Andrew saga with effortless ease and care, so why not this?
