I hope the POW makes a speedy recovery. I do think she looked unwell, which is to be expected. Her skin was pale, her eyes were sunken and dark. Again to be expected but just the reality.
I don't think the dark shop was her. That was of a younger, more sprightly woman. Even in her movements that person has a bounce in their step.

The point I'm making is the farmshop 'Kate' looked healthy and the Kate on tv yesterday looks as you would expect a woman undergoing chemo and recovering from surgery to look...but yeah again that means I have no compassion and am picking on her looks 🙄

Oh Christ don't say this. Apparently this means you are mentally ill with no compassion. Because attacking other people for presenting a fact is so kind

Gossip, speculation are not facts.

Not mentally ill - though it is possible.

Just a bit dim and with nothing better to do than engage in bizarre conspiracy theories that suggest you don't have much to do in real life or you have significant real life concerns and use conspiracy theories to distract yourself.

Whatever the cause. THIS IS NOTHING TO WITH YOU. YOU DONT KNOW THESE PEOPLE AND THEY DONT EFFECT YOUR LIFE IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY.

Switch off the Internet. Concentrate on your life. If you don't have friends or family, go outside and touch some grass and listen to the birds.

True. I hope they are swiftly deleted.

I think you need to take your own advice @Christmastreegremlin .
It's can't be healthy to get so over wrought about a post on the internet that isn't even directed at you .

But this is a woman who turned herself out in full make up & totally glammed up hours after giving birth. She absolutely could have done the same for this video - but that wasn’t the image she wanted to portray this time.

Just FYI this is what she was facing as she left the hospital with newborn George. Maybe she felt she needed to be totally glammed up to help deal with that onslaught? Maybe the fact that she’d have just a couple of people with her to film yesterday’s video message in the garden meant she felt she didn’t need the glam? Maybe she couldn’t face making polite conversation to a makeup artist? You have no idea, and let’s face it, will never walk any distance in anything like her shoes .Leave her be.

And that was ten years ago when she was new to her role. Perhaps she's changed and toughened up and isn't going to do things like that anymore when she's feeling vulnerable and unwell.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 23/03/2024 13:54

Last weekend allegedly a dark haired Kate was seen looking years younger and healthy. Yesterday she was seen with lighter hair and looking very unwell

Breaking news, Francis. Women change their hair colour. They can even look well one day and a bit pale and pasty a few days later.

FrancisSeaton · 23/03/2024 10:46

I'm going to say this only one more time .
Last weekend allegedly a dark haired Kate was seen looking years younger and healthy. Yesterday she was seen with lighter hair and looking very unwell. The bbc are using an image that is alleged to be Kate not confirmed- that is the difference. If it was unconfirmed like the Mother's Day photo they would not be using it.
You can definitely tell the difference from that alleged image of her to the video yesterday

Lighter hair? The farm shop video had her walking in the shade. The video from Wednesday is in full sunlight. That would probably account for the variation in the way her hair appeared. It’s not like she was blonde in one and brunette in the other 🙄

Amara123 · 23/03/2024 14:08

You can only conclude that the Royal Family don't look after the women that marry in properly e.g. Kate, Meghan, Sarah F, Di etc.
They have moved on from the beheading etc. but they do tend to let the media torment them, while protecting their own.
It's interesting when Harry came out punching for Meghan, the machinery of the RF mostly sat back and left him to it on his own.
It seems to be bloodline first.

Hilarious- with shouty caps and everything

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 23/03/2024 14:11

They have moved on from the beheading etc

You really expect to be taken seriously after that? and what's the etc to a beheading?

Henry VIII executed two wives on (in at least one case) trumped up charges of adultery. Are you seriously trying to imply that that's how the RF deals with wives?

Fucking hell. I knew the education system was in a dire state but I didn't think it was THAT bad.

How do 'we' expect a woman undergoing chemo to look, doctor?

You're not having compassion because under the guise of saying 'oh she really looks well here but she looks really pale here a few days later' you're very nastily implying that on one occasion at least the RF has sent a body double out to fool the public that they're seeing the PoW - and in addition to that you're implying none too subtly that you're the only one who can see we're being taken for fools.

How you have the flaming cheek to piously claim that all this spite and poison is being done under the guise of compassion is an absolute master class in trolling.

FrancisSeaton · 23/03/2024 14:20

lol yeah of course I'm 'nastily implying' 🙄🙄🙄🙄

FrancisSeaton · 23/03/2024 14:21

And I haven't said anywhere they have sent body doubles out unless you can quote this?

FrancisSeaton · 23/03/2024 14:21

And no doubt if I'd have said she looks really well in her video I'd have been told I'm accusing her of lying about her illness! Peak Mumsnet gaslighting at its finest

FrancisSeaton · 23/03/2024 14:21

But even on this thread you are still saying it is evident it was not her in the video at the farm shop. Why can't you just leave it be?

Main broadcasters showed that video yesterday and mentioned William and Catherine's visit to the farm shop. Do you really think they would have been so tasteless to do so after showing the video of Catherine giving her statement if it had not been her? Do you really think they would have played that video if it was of Steve and Julie at the farm shop? Surely you have to have some critical thinking here to realise that you may think that she did not look in the video as you are used to seeing her, but actually it was her all along?

You've mentioned hair colouring, skin tone and it's evident Catherine was not in the video. It really is time to just stop this nonsense.

@buzzlightyearsaway

I have an incurable cancer and I had a second aggressive cancer in last few years.

The NHS was the cutting edge for treatment not Private

Go and crawl back under a stone because your narrative is incredibly crass and distasteful.

Im sorry about that.

Glad to hear nhs is the cutting edge as i couldn't afford anything else if it comes to it. Hope you get the best treatment possible

Middleagedspreadisreal · 23/03/2024 17:40

I know, heard it thanks.

Idontknowwhattodo78 · 23/03/2024 17:43

For what it’s worth, I don’t think that was her at the farm shop. I DO think it was a last ditch attempt to get the press and social media to back off so they could deal with this, privately, as a family, as is their right! Most people would give a very diluted version of this kind of illness to their young children. She has now been forced to give this statement and tell her children probably more than she would have. Can you imagine facing this kind of diagnosis and being forced to deal with the media on the scale that she is? Being worried that her DC will go to school and be told “your mummy is dying”? It’s atrocious. She may well be a public figure but she is not public property. She is a person in her own right and she needs to be left the fuck alone.

MarvellousMonsters · 23/03/2024 18:05

Maybe all you nosey gossips will back off and leave her alone now.

So you believe she ( and presumably, William and the rest of KP) colluded in sending out "lookalikes" to the farm shop in an attempt to get the press and social media off her!
Try some critical thinking!
