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.

They manage to deal with the Andrew saga with effortless ease and care, so why not this?

😂😂😂

Have you forgotten Newsnight?

Early start you said at 4am for your early hospital shift.

I don't what to believe now, if it's not the Royal Family, or the OP then it must be Pinocchio.

I expect she will be out and about exactly when they originally said she would.
What makes you think otherwise?

It's only if that date passes with her returning to duties that I feel another statement is warranted.

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’ ?

What was the official statement about the 'coma rumours'?

And do you not understand that if they respond to every photo, they set a precedent that could be awkward over years and decades?

Your 'concern' for Kate is touching however.

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’ ?

a) They never addressed the coma rumours because the Royals have a strict policy of never commenting on rumours. As a former Royalist, you should know that.
b) Because it was her at the farm shop.

I think she's growing out her grey and wants to avoid the worse bit 😂

And the millions of tax payer's cash used to buy him out of the mess he was in?

What a load of twaddle.

I agree with the OP. I don’t believe that’s Kate in the photo.

I had the pleasure of meeting her just before Christmas, and have many photos of her. I’ve compared all my different photos of her from all the different angles, and the farm shop photo and footage looks like a completely different woman.

I think it was a complete set up, maybe by a big media outlet, and don’t think it’s William either, but a couple of lookalikes.

Think you might combust as you seem the angriest person on these entire threads. “Muuum! The Internet isn’t saying what I want it to say again! How do I make it stop?” 😄

Ok, first the photo…not fake, just photoshopped. Badly photoshopped but I am sure most or all,of the pics we see are altered.

Then the farm shop. The producer you refer to just bought the video, he knows no more about it than any of us, and he doesn’t say it isn’t her, just that he isn’t sure. Obviously he wants controversy to drive traffic to the site. If it isn’t her, so what? The Royal family have never said it was, have they? They are probably trying to stay out of it.

There’s nothing to see here. Kate I am sure is with her family recuperating from her health issue.

Yes. The 'Andrew saga' is now a textbook example of exemplary royal communications?

Say what?

Never mind that it was handled by a completely different team. Kensington Palace have their own press office, independent of Buckingham Palace.

I honestly think you are confusing me with someone else. I'm not remotely angry. I am, however, incredulous that seemingly sane people actually believe the conspiracy theories.

OP, do you think there is any reason why the exec producer at TMZ might want to add to the drama and hype around this video?

Is it possible that by stirring the pot it will encourage many more people to go and view the video time and time again to see whether it is really her or not?

Is there a financial benefit to TMZ if their website gets thousands of extra visitors?

Yes.

That’s why he’s doing this. It’s nothing to do with genuine confusion over whether it’s William and Kate. It’s to make money off people like you.

Wise up a bit.

A few years ago I was ill, I lot 3stone and was under 6 stone. I don't even recognise myself in photos from back then. She's lost weight, she's been ill, I don't see anything surprising in her not looking exactly as we normally see her.

The article says he is 95% sure its her but he has doubts after reading online rumours about her height etc, moreful him if he couldn't be arsed to check before he distributed it.

Plus I've actually only commented on two threads about this.

What I find truly fascinating is the same people insisting that it was definitely Kate at the farm shop on here, are now blaming TMZ and running them down. Without really considering why they believed a young woman in her 20s was Kate in the first place?!

I hope you are privately reevaluating your future posts that are so dogmatically insistent and absolute. As it turns out many of us didn’t believe it was her in the first place, and was shouted down.

I don’t think it’s her in the farm shop video. Looks like a younger woman. I’m finding the whole thing fascinating as to what, if anything, is going on. May be something. May be nothing but it’s certainly interesting

Is it the case then that the press TMZ have been duped by someone selling this video for a shedload of money and it was an old video created by some look a likes? If so then that is a bit amusing.

I don't understand why you're getting so much hate. You are as entitled to your opinions as anyone else here.
I honestly couldn't care less about the royals or what they may/may not be doing but I agree, it's all a bit odd.
Whether or not she returns at Easter will have no effect on my life though.

4am? Really?? Are you okay?

That farm footage was amateurish and very grainy and she was not fully 'done up' as we usually see her, so no make up etc. When I first read that is probably wasn't her, I looked at the video in real time and thought 'Ooh. These people might have a point. She does look a bit different.'

So I looked at it again, slowly and more close up.

It's her. She does look slightly different to how we are used to seeing her, but that's not surprising under the circumstances. She does NOT look sufficiently different to make me question whether it is her though.

You relly think the royal family drafted in some body/face double under a cloak of secrecy and paid them to pretend to be Catherine in a farm shop and never tell a soul?

You really think the staff in the farm shop couldn't tell the difference?

Lunatics. You are all lunatics.

Do we have sound now on mn? Just so I can hear all the screaming

I’d say it was a much younger woman
