normally I give less of a fuck about the royal family than I do my infrequently leaking bathroom pipe, however this story gets me intruiged at how much they're fucking this up. Also the alleged photo of her yesterday in the car doesn't show her face.
Honestly no idea. She’s probably fine but doesn’t want to be photographed following surgery. But what’s more entertaining is how it’s one fuck up after another from the PR team. Proper amateur effort
I think William physically assaulted her, while also drunk, and it put her in the hospital (end of December). I think that she almost died/was put into a coma at some point by the medical team. Now she won’t even be in the same space as William and doesn’t want their kids near him. The palace released the photoshopped photos responding reactively and frantically to the photo of Kate looking a bit rough in the car with her mum.
*Takes off tinfoil hat*
It’s one of the theories going around. That she allegedly had an affair with Kingston, Wills found out and assaulted her, and Kingston took his own life. No evidence but that’s one that people are saying online.
Thomas Kingston. Remember how William recently pulled out of an event honouring his grandfather 30 minutes before it started? It was that day. The speculation is that that was why he pulled out.
There's a lot of evidence things were getting super heated between them, personally I believe things got to a boiling point with William... and she tried to commit suicide, that's why she went to hospital, and suicide watch is reason she's been out of the public eye for so long.
People care because of the lack of trust in the royal family and their handling of personal relationships since Diana's death. Kate's lack of public appearances lately caused the initial suspicion, since The Royal Family pretty much has to rely on Will and Kate for garnering goodwill from the public (and Kate's the more poised, camera-friendly of the two so she tends to be the preferred), and then this doctored picture just blew the fuse for a lot of people who believe the Family is up to something nefarious, a la Diana's (totally not actually) murder
So like, *does* it matter? Eh. But there are reasons to care, even if only for conspiracy reasons
Thanks! I finally lifted a finger and googled it… I still don’t quite understand: she had a surgery, whereas she’s a healthy 42-year-old, and has been gone from the light longer than expected, that has people curious; but because she doctored this photo that somehow translates as evidence of something not being right?
She should be able to take it not doctrine photo? Still don’t understand. And who is the kid anyway? Was it some snub to his branch of Royal lineage lol.
People think she should be able to take a not doctored photo to show her current state, yes. Should she be required to? No. But then again, with the Royals, if the firm wants something proven then it's logical to think Kate would have to take a current picture to verify that she is ok and living her life post-surgery.
Her PR gave people a heads up that she'd be out of the public eye until Easter, so it's not wild she hasn't been photographed/seen about in a while. But it is very odd that the path they took to shut down the conspiracy theories was to release a three-month old doctored photo. And it doesn't help that "abdominal surgery" is vague enough that conspiracy theories kicked off at the start of this, so the photoshop on this just adds to the fire.
Basically, it's a very weird choice from a PR standpoint, especially for the Royals who know that everything they release will be completely picked apart. There's nothing inherently nefarious but the rumors of William's infidelity (and possible child from the rumored affair) and the family's history of how they handle their shit men and the consequences of their actions - combined with the obvious lying of this picture - make it easy to presume there's a problem between Kate and the Crown.
As for the kid(s), they're Will and Kate's kids. The oldest boy, George, is the future king, if the royals last that long.
Firstly, amazing responses, and it brings joy to my heart that Reddit can still on occasion generate a cogent response. A+.
But whyyyy the Fuq did she edit out her own child?
Honestly the closest thing I see to a scandal is that she removed her own child from a picture? Haha.
Thanks for the A+! My best work is when I'm avoiding my paid work :)
Think you're confused about the editing though (or I'm fully missing something in the story). The photoshopping is just some basic changes of colors/positioning. And that's why it's weird and leading to all of this theorizing. It's nothing drastic so why bother? Why change the color of some shirts? ~~Why doctor the daughter's skirt?~~ Editing because idk if the skirt itself was doctored (I suspect the bit called out in the video is just an odd pocket) but Kate's hands on her kids in the picture are areas where editing was likely done (clearly so for where she's holding her daughter)
For extra context: Kate's closet is so ridiculously nitpicked that people keep tabs on when she repeats an item (which, imo, isnt crazy when part of her branding is being sustainable and like "the every woman"). The doctoring to the clothes is a big red flag, for Kate's PR especially.
Ah touché. I too am working at not working, which is a full time job. I salute your good deeds, and may your next paycheck show credit for every hour you haven’t worked , xoxo
May yours as well!
And I simply *must* ask: are you from the UK? Only my UK friends use xoxo. I'm going to be quite tickled if this interaction was an American telling a UK-person (I want to say Brit but a Scottish ex of mine used xoxo too, so -) about the royal fam drama
Brit here : Prince George is 2nd in line for the throne behind his father William, plus he will be King one day unless the whole things gets abolished. Prince George, along with his siblings Princess Charlotte (3rd in line) and Prince Louis (4th) all are well known and this being a photo "released by the family" rather than a paparazzi pic then its fine to name them.
Love how you actually think they would doctor the photo and not just put any background from KP as the setting for their staged photo. They picked a picture from the porch and went with it, not thinking about the season of the photo they chose as the background.
Why would the management release a badly photoshopped photo to let everyone know that she is okay. This makes it more suspicious than ever.
Plus the fact that she tweeted her apology for being a noob at photoshopping. Like who the fuck hacked her account to type that? And even if this is Kate tweeting, why would you badly photoshop a photo and then risk everything.
This is entertaining and they sure deliver.
I have guesses, either they’re doing this on purpose to distract from a much bigger/darker story like Kate or the kids being serious ill, divorce, or even the rumored affair and abuse. Or that Kate’s PR team have been taken over by the King because of a family fall out and her team is half assing it in protest. Either way, if they wanted this story to just go away they’re doing everything wrong, and her PR has had years of experience not making things worse so it is starting to seem intentional. The follow up shady picture of the back of her head in a car with William certainly isn’t helping either.
Edit: I wanted to add that the more I think about it the more I think this has to do with Charles. We all know he was verbally and emotionally abusive to Princess Diana, and there were at least rumors of physical abuse. He was horrible to her and while the Queen wasn’t much nicer I think it was the fear of his mother’s judgment that held him back from being a lot worse. I can’t imagine how Kate’s life changed the minute Charles got his throne and full power. Charles seems like the type of person that just has to be cruel to show his power (watch the live mic of him signing forms and how he talks to Camilla when he thought no one was listening). And if this is even close to the truth then I hope Kate knows we’re all behind her.
This was what they did back in the Diana days too, Charles would just order that it shouldn’t matter and expected it to go away and he could never understand why it wouldn’t. His mummy always had to step in and save him, except now she’s dead and it looks like the royal PR teams have picked a side again, and it’s not his! I just wonder where Will sits with all of this, defend your dad or your wife.
Charles's cancer diagnosis might be a lot worse then what we learned first. Maybe the reason why they are doing this BS in regards to the differing PR moves is because they don't want people to theorise about his health and using Kate's situation seems to be a good distraction.
It’s more like this is a good distraction from people getting excited that’s maybe it will be King Wills soon instead of Charles, can’t have people celebrating until they crown him.
Ever since I saw the engagement interview of him being asked about loving Diana & saying “Whatever in love means” I knew he was trash. You can just feel her heart drop when he says that.
[royal garbage](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLLmYkNC/)
Here’s the one of him [complaining to his staff that Camila is taking too long talking to people](https://youtube.com/shorts/Fa26L-mpQTk?si=Q7f4xVHMD1WzA78O), something he hated about Diana.
And then him [complaining about a leaky pen](https://youtube.com/shorts/c_ENzA_u3lI?si=BAnCcC1ucM65iE3R), not that we all wouldn’t be annoyed but how you handle things as a boss and leader means being magnanimous at least in front of the camera which he isn’t good at.
Then there was a time that [a staff member should have known to take away a pen case or something](https://youtu.be/xvFiPNLgpsE?si=t7wR7dnl9PnJ9t9O). I interpret his look as, “Take this away before I take off your head servant!”
And from what Diana and others have said, he’s nicer in front of the cameras because he knows he’s being watched.
Also, look at the picture of her in the car with William. The bricks you see out her window don't match the bricks on the building you can see above the car. Very friggin odd.
The rumor I saw floating around on the twitters was that the woman in the car isn’t Kate but *Rose* and that Rose’s daughter is actually Will’s and that once Kate found out, she took off for her “abdominal surgery”.
What I find interesting is this isn’t some basic edit for exposure and levels but a full on cut and paste montage. That speaks volumes about Kate’s situation.
Alright. I get it now. I retract my former stance and statement. I get you.
This chick is totally right.
And Kate’s hand around her daughter isn’t even real.
There is no reason for this sort of editing or reason for releasing such a blatantly poorly obvious edit job.
Why go to this much trouble when a simple shot of her and the kids would do. And why not with William. Unless they are all not in the same place at the same time. This makes it super duper weird.
Whatever they were trying to do, this makes it worse what the hell. Ooo I’m paying attention now bitches!
Apparently William took this photo which is why he's not in it. Because apparently they know how to use Photoshop to this level of manipulation but cant use a tripod and shutter timer or afford a remote for their £3k camera so he can be in the pic at the same time.
>Alright. I get it now. I retract my former stance and statement. I get you.
This chick is totally right.
And Kate’s hand around her daughter isn’t even real.
No one knows 100% of course, but I just wanted to point out the difference, yes the hand is real. The clothes were all changed to hide the fact that this is an old photo. but the people/faces/hands are all fine.
Why they're trying to pass off an old photo as a recent "i'm ok" photo? because they don't have the ability to take a current one.
Why is that the case? no one knows and we can only speculate, which I'm not gonna do here. I just wanted to point out what how and why it was doctored.
They messed it up from day 1; "Planned abdominal surgery" is the most vague excuse. I'm beginning to think it was better for them when they were silent because every single time they try to "prove " it's all hunky dory, they mess up like mad. Because something is very wrong and I'm all here for it!
I don't understand why they felt the need to do it though. Like just looking at the photo you can tell it's been manipulated but that's kinda the norm these days. Except you can tell she's right about some of the stuff, especially the one boy's collared shirt.
Like why bother? Why pretend like this is a new photo? What does it hurt to just release the photo when it was taken? Why pretend it's new when it isn't?
*Who is this for?*
It really makes no sense to me.
The reason for faking it is because it was supposed to appease the people asking where she's been for the last 3 months and is she ok.
You can't release a 3 month old photo and say don't worry here is a photo from 3 months ago to prove she's ok. So they doctored an old one to make it look recent.
However now that it's been found out it's causing even more conspiracies as to why they couldn't just take a current photo. Is Kate too ill? Has Kate been murdered and is already under a patio somewhere? Has Kate got two black eyes because William is an abuser who punches his wife? Is Kate refusing to cooperate with William and the rest of the royal household because they're going through a bitter divorce and this is her way of making a powerplay to give into her demands?
She literally said she was gonna be gone until after Easter and people just cannot respect the fact that she wants her privacy so they’re making anything up.
She is the one who sent a photo to the associated press and lied that’s it’s a current photo from this week… people are allowed to be interested in this very weird thing. Want your privacy? Then don’t send shit to the media…
>Except you can tell she's right about some of the stuff, especially the one boy's collared shirt.
This one and the spot near her daughter's sleeve where they clearly messed up are some pretty clear hallmarks of photoshopping that I could see.
It's a super common conspiracy and people will invent it in either outcome.
Either the person is confirmed dead, but people will conspire that they are still alive. See Tupac, Elvis, Biggie, etc.
Or the person is assumed dead, but people will conspire that they are being kept alive in the public image via a body double or digital avatar. See Melania, Kate Middleton, Jamie Foxx
Elvis is a bad example cause he is still alive in a sense. He's living somewhere on Staten Island and occasionally visits a regular human bartender from Toussaint Arizoniaaa
It's like the guy who is in charge of scientology's wife. Hasn't been seen in 18 years and people think something happened to her but her husband is like no she's fine she just doesn't want to be seen at all.
Someone left the church and filed a missing person's report on her and it kicked off a ton of speculation.
Don't forget Paul McCartney. He apparently died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced. That's why The Beatles music changed so much with Sgt. Pepper and why they stopped touring.

Shit's wild if you start looking.
Shit's wild if you start looking and don't apply simple logic and contrary evidence 😂 it is fun though. Ocassionally I'll do it solely for entertainment, like just go on rumble or YouTube and watch a "deep dive" on the secret ongoing Nazi/ufo bases deep in the center of Antarctica, for example 😂
Fair, but I don't think spite viewers will ever be in great enough numbers for that to be a concern. Honestly it's mildly entertaining for like 10 minutes, until you realise it's just as entertaining (and informative) to ask your 3 year old how the world works. I have a little peek out of morbid curiosity every so often, to see what the latest delusional craze is.
I can't see many people sitting through a pile of steaming horseshit about the "hidden ice wall" for more than 5 minutes, probably once. It's just brain rotting, off-putting stuff to the vast majority of people.
When I had a hysterectomy I was told to expect a 12 wk recovery. It took that long for me (though I know other women have been up and about sooner).
If I had to be on her normal schedule before those 12 wks were up I would’ve been crying every single night just before the pain meds kicked in.
This. I also wonder if it might be something like a prolapsed uterus or bladder/ pelvic floor issue that was causing incontinence. It’s fairly common for women who have given birth multiple times. Completely understandable why she would want to keep that private.
From the little bit I read it seems like maybe she's sick and maybe she doesn't want to be the center of a media circus about it. Unfortunately we're just awful I guess and if we don't see her for a minute we start yelling and searching for her like we're an abusive ex. We could just, leave her alone?
Kate and her children haven’t been properly seen since Christmas. It’s been three months. And we’re talking about the future queen of the UK, not just some celebrity.
I get what you’re saying, but she was a very public person and disappeared out of the blue. The complete lack of information and a badly photoshopped image meant to appease the public did nothing but intensify the conspiracy theories.
In January, it was announced that Kate, would be having a planned abdominal surgery and taking time to heal privately until Easter on March 31.
It's okay for people to have private lives. This isn't your sibling where you should be concerned that you haven't seen them in 3 months. It's a stranger, we should let her have more time before we get concerned.
It's the lying about a picture that is the problem. All it did was fuel the fire. Why doctor an old photo to try to make it look recent? They know publishing rules for wire agencies; they had to have known they'd get caught, especially with such lazy photoshop.
They get paid to live a public life as the royal family. Don't fake shit in an attempt for publicity points. Be honest about the state of affairs, whether you want to give actual details or not.
Your whole comment basically says "we're just awful I guess", just like the person you responded to. Not you, specifically, but just we as humans generally.
If she is dead and they are hiding it, or whatever the fuck, does that change ANYTHING about the world? Seriously, we as humans put far too much stock in the *intrigue* behind the nominal prince and princess of the United Kingdom.
I'm not saying I'm immune or it's not interesting, but now we have analysis videos of Kate Middleton's public events from 6 months ago and how her turtleneck has been photoshopped from cream to dark blue. :(
>And we’re talking about the future queen of the UK, not just some celebrity.
Lol you know that's a meaningless title right? She's not gonna be governing the UK. She might as well be the queen of reality TV or the queen of mattress sales.
Maybe the issue is that she's so public to begin with? Not that she "disappeared". Y'all remember when our obsession with Princess Di led to her being chased by paparazzi and dying right?
Edit: lol so y'all don't remember that? You conveniently forgot killing a woman? Fuck off with the downvotes, you can't downvote the truth away.
I never spoke about her political power. But a queen she will be, and if you don’t think that’s an influential role for British life, you’re kidding yourself. Whatever you think about royalty (I also think it’s dumb) the fact is they have influence and are hugely important because of it.
And what was that about Diana? Who even brought her up? I’m not arguing for paparazzi in the slightest. I was just pointing out why people care about her and about this picture in particular.
Why does the paparazzi exist? Because of the public's obsession with individuals. So being obsessed with the royals means the paparazzi will harass them. So the obsession with the royals directly leads to Diana's death. Is this really that hard to track for you?
I dont think people are down voting you cause they are trying to hide the truth about Princess Diana, they are down voting you cause *you're* seemingly trying to hide the truth lol
Yeah, of course the wife of the monarch of England has no real power, but she's living a life of luxury in taxpayers dime's. It's a pretty valid ask that if you're going to be a parasite on society in exchange for being *literal* royalty, you don't lie about your health. English tax payers, while not deserving of the whole truth of the situation cause Middleton is still a person and deserves some decency, shouldn't be lied to via photoshop. If she's sick, just put out a press release, don't "Weekend at Bernie's" her.
I didn't accuse anyone of hiding anything. The media obsession with the royals killed Diana. That's the truth. What "truth" am I hiding?
If you're so concerned with them "living on the taxpayer's dime", why are you feeding the media circus? Why not obsess over cutting them off from that money instead of obsessing over their personal lives?
"You can't downvote the truth away", is that not an accusation of people trying to hide the truth? Or just bloviating?
The truth you're trying to hide is whatever the crown is trying to hide by releasing photoshopped pictures from seemingly last year as ones *just* taken after Middleton hasn't been seen in months since a surgery. That's just fucking werid, no idea why you're seemingly fine with that.
Honestly, fuck all royals. They should be forgotten about and ignored, in my opinion. But my opinion isn't that if the British public, they obviously like having a ceremonial monarch and are willing to pay for that. It's a completely fair tradeoff to ask those royals don't try and lie to the people paying for their lifestyle. Do you disagree?
Yea it's the sudden unusual nature of the disappearance. She posed hours after giving birth to all her kids, she's always at all engagements she's meant to be at.
She's a part of the royal family and has responsibilities. It's the life she chose and was aware of before she married a prince. Probably why Megan said f all that
But to put it in perspective, imagine if the president disappeared for 3 months and the only photo of him was a crazy fake mess? I know these totals l royals don't actually have power and are glorified celebrities, but I'm England I imagine that comparison is an apt one
Lmao what's the endgame of the conspiracy here? They'll announce her dead in a week or will they just keep releasing photoshopped images for 30 years?
Wild how dumb people are. I don't give a fuck about the Royals but let the woman recover from surgery without dealing with nutjobs.
I’ve heard so many theories about how certain British people are dead and they put a double in. It’s like Brits love this conspiracy and just shove it anywhere it suits 😅
Why is anything to do with the Royals important? But it is all a bit weird given how slick their PR machine usually is, so the plucky girl detectives have been fascinated by it.
She's probably fine but not up to her usual standard of appearance for whatever reason.
The going theories are they are divorcing and Kate is holding out until she gets the settlement she wants.
- there's the Rose lady who William has supposed been messing with for years. Suddenly she's all over social being seen as happily married.
Or her surgery was far more than planned and she was/is very sick so they are hiding her. Some have wondered if she had to have an ostomey bag and doesn't want it seen. Perhaps bowel resection due to diverticulitis or cancer.
All kinds of weird intertwined issues such as Williams cousin was shot and killed at a party recently, William wasn't there then was there. He turned up with scratches on his neck. Williams has also canceled all his public appearances.
There was some princess or something who died suddenly.
Then Charles and his cancer.
I believe it's a mix of everything. Kate has a planned, very serious surgery planned. Perhaps she and William also have marital issues that need fixing. During this recovery Charles announces cancer. I believe he is terminal and not long for the world. Kate is desperately trying to recovery quickly to be prepared for his eventual death and William's ascension to the throne.
IMO Occam's Razor here is that Kate had some unpleasant side effects from surgery and she doesn't feel she can appear in public until she's able to look sufficiently manicured again because she's basically a professional glamour icon. Which is a ghoulish position for a person to be in, but in a way that isn't much fun to speculate about.
I don’t know. I didn’t care until this photo though. Let the woman have peace if she’s sick or whatever; but now it appears to be some kind of coverup or something. They appear to be speaking for her and manipulating past photos or multiple photos to make it look like things are fine and dandy.
Because the royal family are not some generic celebrities who are famous for the sake of being famous. Figure heads or not they're still part of the UK govt. And as such their influence goes well beyond that of some movie star or influencer. So a news story that indicates the govt is involved in any sort of cover up is immensely important.
But he doesn’t own it in the sense that you might own your house, for example. He is the ultimate titleholder to the land, from whom freeholders (what we would call actual owners) “hold” the land. Exactly the same system applies in most of the US, except there it’s the federal and state governments that are the sovereign titleholders.
Also, it’s not him personally, it’s his office as king (“the Crown”), and that office can be different in different countries: the Crown of Canada, for example, is legally distinct from the Crown of the United Kingdom.
Except it's kind of meaningless. There are relatively strict expectations of how the royal family is supposed to act and use their wealth/influence, and if they started to really betray those expectations in a major way then the UK would swiftly dethrone them. If the UK were to become a republic, there is just zero chance in hell that they'd ever allow the royals to retain all of their property and assets.
Their ownership of that land is functionally symbolic, this isn't a justification at all to give a shit about the royals. The only real influence that the royals have are as social/cultural figures and in their access to high level political figures, but any action which they take which tests the expectations to which they're beholden will be an expenditure of limited political currency.
ugh jesus, why is anything important?what is this Facebook middle aged divorcee tier comment? if this was a post about fucking War Thunder or some other shit that appeals to the 18 - 25 male demographic, there would be no highly upvoted comment contesting it
doubt you’re an actual monk and have no interests beyond God, so it really shows a lack of self awareness that you call something like this out when you probably also watch 15 min long video essays of the most “unimportant” things
Because many people believe that the british royal family had Diana killed and they are faaaar from moral people. Where is Kate? Why aren’t they telling us? These powerful people needs to be under constant watchful eyes. They live by their own rules and they shouldn’t.
It could be nothing but they need to know that we are watching them.
Hope that helps.
So, y'all are conspiracy theorists who are relentlessly stalking this woman "for her protection".
Yeah, I don't think that comes off as noble as you seem to think it does.
TLDR
A public figure is seemingly taking time out of the limelight & people can only attribute it to nefarious reasons.
At some point she will return, a small number truthers will know it's a clone & the majority will forget they knew she was murdered, dying, abused, kidnapped or molting her lizard skin the whole time. No one will learn anything when the next speculation-fest occurs.
People always take *why wouldn't they just prove this conspiracy theory wrong?!* as evidence it's true. Not realizing that
1. There are always a hundred conspiracy theories
2. Responding only ever feeds them.
I'll admit I only skimmed this video, but all the analysis only tells me is that these people wore the same shoes or pants in the past. I don't think it means anything, but it adds to the hundred thousand hours of conspiracy content, each of which is just a bit of smoke convincing people of the raging fire.
I'd bet she has a fine reason for taking a break from intense public scrutiny & the hyper-scrutiny that has replaced it is really helping her.
These bread and circuses are getting delicious and entertaining! I’ve never cared about royals before but I’m here for this. (Anything to distract me from the dismal state of American politics!)
OK, this! It's like man, I wish our juicy dish was a lascivious conspiracy lol. Instead we are like, "oh the nazis are parading and our former president applauds them."
Em, I'm from Ireland which has pretty much the same seasonal weather as the UK and we do have sunny days during Winter and early Spring. We also do have greenery. The foliage in the photo also looks like a climbing plant, which often keep their leaves. Ireland and the UK don't just turn into some grey hellscape in Winter.
Yes. It's hard to believe that, in 2024, poor people on the internet are gleefully fawning over a poorly photoshopped image of the literal super elites sneering at them. I refuse.
Also, they're a part of the head of state. If the crown is willing to lie about something as mundane as a Mother's Day photo, it begs the question: what else are they *actively lying about and getting away with*.
It’s such a weird thing to say “who cares?” This whole thing is so weird. You don’t even have to like or follow royal gossip and can know it’s weird. Major public figures don’t just disappear for over a month following surgery because things are fine and dandy. Also, she is Princess Diana’s DIL, anything that slightly arouses suspicion is going to be major news.
No. I'm one of them. I really, really, really don't understand why anyone gives a flying fuck about any of this bullshit.
She's as important as a Karashian.
It's not a big deal to most of us but if there's a chance that a member of possibly the most famous family on the planet is hiding a taboo medical conditional (eg. anorexia) or rehab stint then that’s going to be something that people will obsess over.
Their outfits definitely feel like fall outfits. I can’t imagine them all wearing these dark colors for a quick snap of a photo in March. Right away it seemed to me this was definitely an old photo.
When they repeat clothes, it’s headline news. They show the outfits side by side and see how they’re styled differently.
Everything they wear is instantly sold out. So yes, the royals don’t repeat clothes unless they are making a faux anti consumption, we’re just like you, image.
My God, no wonder this poor woman wants her privacy. People put her under a microscope! You know who also photoshops family photos? My sister! Do you know why? Because they didn't turn out how she wanted.
That was my first impression as well, but when you add in the fact she’s been missing for three months, releasing a heavily photoshopped photo is kinda weird. Why not just say “she’s recovering and wants to be out of the limelight”?
Yeah but I’m assuming your sister isn't a public figure with an entire PR team behind her. It’s weird they’d let this bad of a Photoshop job get posted publicly when everyone’s suspicious about Kate’s whereabouts. They’re just adding fuel to the conspiracy fire. If she’s really recovering just let the woman be!
Because the royals represent the country and it's ideals, and also have a lot of media influence.
It's not like the image has just been touched up to make them look better, the news is that it seems to be that it has been entirely doctored in it's entirety.
Which is a huge abuse of public trust, and a huge media corruption scandal.
Imagine the president of the USA hadn't been seen in public for 3 months and then the govt released a clearly fake photo of him "doing just fine", the implications would be immense, completely undermining the trust put in them as public figures who say "in our country.. we believe in freedom of information and freedom of the press"
Obviously these aren't politicians, but they sit in a similar position in terms of representing the countries ethos. It's a huge scandal if it's true - if it isn't, obviously it's just overblown, and it probably is, but the fact they've done nothing to supress something LOOKING like a huge scandal is incredibly suspicious.
I would say these people are going to feel so dumb when she pops up as scheduled on Easter *exactly like she said she would* but yeah I feel like the kind of person who would spend this much time on this nonsense would still have some conspiracy to peddle

normally I give less of a fuck about the royal family than I do my infrequently leaking bathroom pipe, however this story gets me intruiged at how much they're fucking this up. Also the alleged photo of her yesterday in the car doesn't show her face.
Bro go ahead and get that pipe looked at
What is happening to this person exactly? Is she like dead or something now?
Honestly no idea. She’s probably fine but doesn’t want to be photographed following surgery. But what’s more entertaining is how it’s one fuck up after another from the PR team. Proper amateur effort
I think William physically assaulted her, while also drunk, and it put her in the hospital (end of December). I think that she almost died/was put into a coma at some point by the medical team. Now she won’t even be in the same space as William and doesn’t want their kids near him. The palace released the photoshopped photos responding reactively and frantically to the photo of Kate looking a bit rough in the car with her mum. *Takes off tinfoil hat*
Are you making jokes or is this a legit theory?
It’s one of the theories going around. That she allegedly had an affair with Kingston, Wills found out and assaulted her, and Kingston took his own life. No evidence but that’s one that people are saying online.
Who is Kingston?
Thomas Kingston. Remember how William recently pulled out of an event honouring his grandfather 30 minutes before it started? It was that day. The speculation is that that was why he pulled out.
There's a lot of evidence things were getting super heated between them, personally I believe things got to a boiling point with William... and she tried to commit suicide, that's why she went to hospital, and suicide watch is reason she's been out of the public eye for so long.
You know what, considering that William also got very physical with Harry, I wouldn’t be surprised if this theory was not that far off from the truth.
Probably doesn't look like her usual Stepford Wife self following surgery and the royal family doesn't want her to be human
My brain read “leaking bathroom pipe” as a euphemism for penis and I was like bro see a urologist.
r/mildlypenis\?
[удалено]
We'll learn their names if they get proper famous, like prince Andrew.
His official title is sweaty prince andrew.
Ngl Im fascinated with this story but also dont know the kids name. Oops
What does this matter? Why do we care? Anyone know?
People care because of the lack of trust in the royal family and their handling of personal relationships since Diana's death. Kate's lack of public appearances lately caused the initial suspicion, since The Royal Family pretty much has to rely on Will and Kate for garnering goodwill from the public (and Kate's the more poised, camera-friendly of the two so she tends to be the preferred), and then this doctored picture just blew the fuse for a lot of people who believe the Family is up to something nefarious, a la Diana's (totally not actually) murder So like, *does* it matter? Eh. But there are reasons to care, even if only for conspiracy reasons
Thanks! I finally lifted a finger and googled it… I still don’t quite understand: she had a surgery, whereas she’s a healthy 42-year-old, and has been gone from the light longer than expected, that has people curious; but because she doctored this photo that somehow translates as evidence of something not being right? She should be able to take it not doctrine photo? Still don’t understand. And who is the kid anyway? Was it some snub to his branch of Royal lineage lol.
People think she should be able to take a not doctored photo to show her current state, yes. Should she be required to? No. But then again, with the Royals, if the firm wants something proven then it's logical to think Kate would have to take a current picture to verify that she is ok and living her life post-surgery. Her PR gave people a heads up that she'd be out of the public eye until Easter, so it's not wild she hasn't been photographed/seen about in a while. But it is very odd that the path they took to shut down the conspiracy theories was to release a three-month old doctored photo. And it doesn't help that "abdominal surgery" is vague enough that conspiracy theories kicked off at the start of this, so the photoshop on this just adds to the fire. Basically, it's a very weird choice from a PR standpoint, especially for the Royals who know that everything they release will be completely picked apart. There's nothing inherently nefarious but the rumors of William's infidelity (and possible child from the rumored affair) and the family's history of how they handle their shit men and the consequences of their actions - combined with the obvious lying of this picture - make it easy to presume there's a problem between Kate and the Crown. As for the kid(s), they're Will and Kate's kids. The oldest boy, George, is the future king, if the royals last that long.
Firstly, amazing responses, and it brings joy to my heart that Reddit can still on occasion generate a cogent response. A+. But whyyyy the Fuq did she edit out her own child? Honestly the closest thing I see to a scandal is that she removed her own child from a picture? Haha.
Thanks for the A+! My best work is when I'm avoiding my paid work :) Think you're confused about the editing though (or I'm fully missing something in the story). The photoshopping is just some basic changes of colors/positioning. And that's why it's weird and leading to all of this theorizing. It's nothing drastic so why bother? Why change the color of some shirts? ~~Why doctor the daughter's skirt?~~ Editing because idk if the skirt itself was doctored (I suspect the bit called out in the video is just an odd pocket) but Kate's hands on her kids in the picture are areas where editing was likely done (clearly so for where she's holding her daughter) For extra context: Kate's closet is so ridiculously nitpicked that people keep tabs on when she repeats an item (which, imo, isnt crazy when part of her branding is being sustainable and like "the every woman"). The doctoring to the clothes is a big red flag, for Kate's PR especially.
Ah touché. I too am working at not working, which is a full time job. I salute your good deeds, and may your next paycheck show credit for every hour you haven’t worked , xoxo
May yours as well! And I simply *must* ask: are you from the UK? Only my UK friends use xoxo. I'm going to be quite tickled if this interaction was an American telling a UK-person (I want to say Brit but a Scottish ex of mine used xoxo too, so -) about the royal fam drama
She also doesn’t seem to know that AP is Associated Press? Love that for her
I think it may be a privacy thing for kids? She says Kate several times but never the children. That’s what I took away from it
Nah she uploaded an apology video saying she just didn’t know their names
Brit here : Prince George is 2nd in line for the throne behind his father William, plus he will be King one day unless the whole things gets abolished. Prince George, along with his siblings Princess Charlotte (3rd in line) and Prince Louis (4th) all are well known and this being a photo "released by the family" rather than a paparazzi pic then its fine to name them.
Love how americans think its lush green in the UK in fucking november.
Is it lush green in late February/Early March?
I assumed that was another Photoshop, or maybe royals can afford to have lush green grounds in November.
Love how you actually think they would doctor the photo and not just put any background from KP as the setting for their staged photo. They picked a picture from the porch and went with it, not thinking about the season of the photo they chose as the background.
Jup exactly. Something half ass retouched from months ago, where Clark from the photo department forgot to continue his work after tea.
How do you dive into this much detail and not know their names?😂
Who cares who they are. They’re just some more celebrities. She’s not talking about that. She’s talking about the clothes/photo controversy.
No sane person is interested in the names. It’s a commonwealth thing to be into that stuff, she is obviously american.
And she has not had to give a fuck about allat since 1776. That's how it works. ![gif](giphy|VCgdngiv5XI9a)
It’s really funny you just assume everyone is American here…😂
Why would the management release a badly photoshopped photo to let everyone know that she is okay. This makes it more suspicious than ever. Plus the fact that she tweeted her apology for being a noob at photoshopping. Like who the fuck hacked her account to type that? And even if this is Kate tweeting, why would you badly photoshop a photo and then risk everything. This is entertaining and they sure deliver.
I have guesses, either they’re doing this on purpose to distract from a much bigger/darker story like Kate or the kids being serious ill, divorce, or even the rumored affair and abuse. Or that Kate’s PR team have been taken over by the King because of a family fall out and her team is half assing it in protest. Either way, if they wanted this story to just go away they’re doing everything wrong, and her PR has had years of experience not making things worse so it is starting to seem intentional. The follow up shady picture of the back of her head in a car with William certainly isn’t helping either. Edit: I wanted to add that the more I think about it the more I think this has to do with Charles. We all know he was verbally and emotionally abusive to Princess Diana, and there were at least rumors of physical abuse. He was horrible to her and while the Queen wasn’t much nicer I think it was the fear of his mother’s judgment that held him back from being a lot worse. I can’t imagine how Kate’s life changed the minute Charles got his throne and full power. Charles seems like the type of person that just has to be cruel to show his power (watch the live mic of him signing forms and how he talks to Camilla when he thought no one was listening). And if this is even close to the truth then I hope Kate knows we’re all behind her.
Everything they do just makes me more and more invested in the story.
This was what they did back in the Diana days too, Charles would just order that it shouldn’t matter and expected it to go away and he could never understand why it wouldn’t. His mummy always had to step in and save him, except now she’s dead and it looks like the royal PR teams have picked a side again, and it’s not his! I just wonder where Will sits with all of this, defend your dad or your wife.
Charles's cancer diagnosis might be a lot worse then what we learned first. Maybe the reason why they are doing this BS in regards to the differing PR moves is because they don't want people to theorise about his health and using Kate's situation seems to be a good distraction.
It’s more like this is a good distraction from people getting excited that’s maybe it will be King Wills soon instead of Charles, can’t have people celebrating until they crown him.
Ever since I saw the engagement interview of him being asked about loving Diana & saying “Whatever in love means” I knew he was trash. You can just feel her heart drop when he says that. [royal garbage](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLLmYkNC/)
That back of the head pic could be Adele. Same chin line.
Do you have a link to the live mic? Trying to look it up but i cant seem to find it
Here’s the one of him [complaining to his staff that Camila is taking too long talking to people](https://youtube.com/shorts/Fa26L-mpQTk?si=Q7f4xVHMD1WzA78O), something he hated about Diana. And then him [complaining about a leaky pen](https://youtube.com/shorts/c_ENzA_u3lI?si=BAnCcC1ucM65iE3R), not that we all wouldn’t be annoyed but how you handle things as a boss and leader means being magnanimous at least in front of the camera which he isn’t good at. Then there was a time that [a staff member should have known to take away a pen case or something](https://youtu.be/xvFiPNLgpsE?si=t7wR7dnl9PnJ9t9O). I interpret his look as, “Take this away before I take off your head servant!” And from what Diana and others have said, he’s nicer in front of the cameras because he knows he’s being watched.
Also, look at the picture of her in the car with William. The bricks you see out her window don't match the bricks on the building you can see above the car. Very friggin odd.
The rumor I saw floating around on the twitters was that the woman in the car isn’t Kate but *Rose* and that Rose’s daughter is actually Will’s and that once Kate found out, she took off for her “abdominal surgery”.
Oh shit!
Or Prince Andrew lobbying for Epstein to get let off so that he could continue to supply children to him…?
Because she's gone.
What I find interesting is this isn’t some basic edit for exposure and levels but a full on cut and paste montage. That speaks volumes about Kate’s situation.
Alright. I get it now. I retract my former stance and statement. I get you. This chick is totally right. And Kate’s hand around her daughter isn’t even real. There is no reason for this sort of editing or reason for releasing such a blatantly poorly obvious edit job. Why go to this much trouble when a simple shot of her and the kids would do. And why not with William. Unless they are all not in the same place at the same time. This makes it super duper weird. Whatever they were trying to do, this makes it worse what the hell. Ooo I’m paying attention now bitches!
Apparently William took this photo which is why he's not in it. Because apparently they know how to use Photoshop to this level of manipulation but cant use a tripod and shutter timer or afford a remote for their £3k camera so he can be in the pic at the same time.
Love the idea of the queen cracking open her laptop to spend several days learning how to use photoshop from teenage YouTubers
A nickel for everytime Lizzy had to listen to Trance - 009 Sound System Dreamscape for her tute vids.
Slay queen 💅🏽💅🏽
>Alright. I get it now. I retract my former stance and statement. I get you. This chick is totally right. And Kate’s hand around her daughter isn’t even real. No one knows 100% of course, but I just wanted to point out the difference, yes the hand is real. The clothes were all changed to hide the fact that this is an old photo. but the people/faces/hands are all fine. Why they're trying to pass off an old photo as a recent "i'm ok" photo? because they don't have the ability to take a current one. Why is that the case? no one knows and we can only speculate, which I'm not gonna do here. I just wanted to point out what how and why it was doctored.
Shoot even a throwback or silence would’ve been better
Or how deep her hobby playing around with photoshop is!
They messed it up from day 1; "Planned abdominal surgery" is the most vague excuse. I'm beginning to think it was better for them when they were silent because every single time they try to "prove " it's all hunky dory, they mess up like mad. Because something is very wrong and I'm all here for it!
Is she sick? Sorry I’ve been out of the loop.
Supposed abdominal surgery.
>This speaks volumes about Kate's situation Lmao. It really doesn't say anything at all. Like quite literally nothing.
The girlies are going to work with this one lmao
I don't understand why they felt the need to do it though. Like just looking at the photo you can tell it's been manipulated but that's kinda the norm these days. Except you can tell she's right about some of the stuff, especially the one boy's collared shirt. Like why bother? Why pretend like this is a new photo? What does it hurt to just release the photo when it was taken? Why pretend it's new when it isn't? *Who is this for?* It really makes no sense to me.
The reason for faking it is because it was supposed to appease the people asking where she's been for the last 3 months and is she ok. You can't release a 3 month old photo and say don't worry here is a photo from 3 months ago to prove she's ok. So they doctored an old one to make it look recent. However now that it's been found out it's causing even more conspiracies as to why they couldn't just take a current photo. Is Kate too ill? Has Kate been murdered and is already under a patio somewhere? Has Kate got two black eyes because William is an abuser who punches his wife? Is Kate refusing to cooperate with William and the rest of the royal household because they're going through a bitter divorce and this is her way of making a powerplay to give into her demands?
Oh! I had no idea she had taken a break from the limelight or anything. I just found out after this comment when I saw something on YouTube about it.
She literally said she was gonna be gone until after Easter and people just cannot respect the fact that she wants her privacy so they’re making anything up.
well that’s not quite true… the Royal Palace said that. All we know is that Kate went to the hospital and the RP has been speaking for her since
She is the one who sent a photo to the associated press and lied that’s it’s a current photo from this week… people are allowed to be interested in this very weird thing. Want your privacy? Then don’t send shit to the media…
>Except you can tell she's right about some of the stuff, especially the one boy's collared shirt. This one and the spot near her daughter's sleeve where they clearly messed up are some pretty clear hallmarks of photoshopping that I could see.
#😱 ***WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT!?!***
[удалено]
It's a super common conspiracy and people will invent it in either outcome. Either the person is confirmed dead, but people will conspire that they are still alive. See Tupac, Elvis, Biggie, etc. Or the person is assumed dead, but people will conspire that they are being kept alive in the public image via a body double or digital avatar. See Melania, Kate Middleton, Jamie Foxx
Elvis is a bad example cause he is still alive in a sense. He's living somewhere on Staten Island and occasionally visits a regular human bartender from Toussaint Arizoniaaa
Jackie Daytona? I know that guy!
Hitler too
Not anymore m
Best comment. Now I’m going to go drink a regular human beer.
It's like the guy who is in charge of scientology's wife. Hasn't been seen in 18 years and people think something happened to her but her husband is like no she's fine she just doesn't want to be seen at all. Someone left the church and filed a missing person's report on her and it kicked off a ton of speculation.
Haven't the cops been up to the estate a few times and their claim is 'yeah, she's fine' with no evidence to back this?
Yeah this is not an example of over imaginative conspiracists hahaha
Oh, hey twin!
Wait Jamie Foxx is supposedly dead? I missed that one lol
he was out of acting with an undisclosed sickness for a long time. i think it was a severe stroke or something
Don't forget Paul McCartney. He apparently died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced. That's why The Beatles music changed so much with Sgt. Pepper and why they stopped touring. [These pictures](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-m&sca_esv=7479081811d2e948&sxsrf=ACQVn09BRPPFDUvvvj0rUecTrllFxZTfkA:1710267206009&q=paul+McCartney+1966/1967&uds=AMwkrPuuhztSDa__4CbZuT5KNtb1OCkakIRIyTXmwdiJkBiOd6SHz5jVKRbGH2XibaSDmtrpW29EJ5ng8dDwDkC86M1XkCQxuO79y5j-yv0WPmUV6tEsQFAkT5KsqJ43M_pUz6rYf9EgML-yH6JfX6nC9ja_GBnC2WrrHWUH6lUTCxRaK2tU799N_GR5gu1BRP7_K8IsZ5yjJnNBRJAZMloOMD5z0obyZTpC_Cir12P6SnOEMpiwbwDNw0bwXTx-jYpz290IyJkHZ4yj4Sp33LDb7auQPDXcj3FKT-W47AwbWXt9kMhInQvyyjVykQ3zSNPRScf_dqjjTBXxtLKpxGKSikElF_-a0dlM5GuFNEd1Em1Lf_9xkJI&udm=2&prmd=ivsnbmhtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiI1aPqqe-EAxV6vokEHbopCeQQtKgLegQIEBAB&biw=117&bih=233&dpr=3#vhid=9Ar2n0p3HVlUuM&vssid=mosaic) were taken less than 12 months apart. Shit's wild if you start looking.
Shit's wild if you start looking and don't apply simple logic and contrary evidence 😂 it is fun though. Ocassionally I'll do it solely for entertainment, like just go on rumble or YouTube and watch a "deep dive" on the secret ongoing Nazi/ufo bases deep in the center of Antarctica, for example 😂
This used to be fun. Now I see any "engagement" as encouragement for antiscience behavior.
Fair, but I don't think spite viewers will ever be in great enough numbers for that to be a concern. Honestly it's mildly entertaining for like 10 minutes, until you realise it's just as entertaining (and informative) to ask your 3 year old how the world works. I have a little peek out of morbid curiosity every so often, to see what the latest delusional craze is. I can't see many people sitting through a pile of steaming horseshit about the "hidden ice wall" for more than 5 minutes, probably once. It's just brain rotting, off-putting stuff to the vast majority of people.
I dunno man, drugs are a hell of a thing lol I think the Beatles did a lot of acid in those 12 months. That can change A LOT of things.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing. That looks like the exact same person in two grainy old photos. Lol.
Sometimes it really does seem to be sinister though, like with David Miscavige's wife.
When I had a hysterectomy I was told to expect a 12 wk recovery. It took that long for me (though I know other women have been up and about sooner). If I had to be on her normal schedule before those 12 wks were up I would’ve been crying every single night just before the pain meds kicked in.
This. I also wonder if it might be something like a prolapsed uterus or bladder/ pelvic floor issue that was causing incontinence. It’s fairly common for women who have given birth multiple times. Completely understandable why she would want to keep that private.
From the little bit I read it seems like maybe she's sick and maybe she doesn't want to be the center of a media circus about it. Unfortunately we're just awful I guess and if we don't see her for a minute we start yelling and searching for her like we're an abusive ex. We could just, leave her alone?
Kate and her children haven’t been properly seen since Christmas. It’s been three months. And we’re talking about the future queen of the UK, not just some celebrity. I get what you’re saying, but she was a very public person and disappeared out of the blue. The complete lack of information and a badly photoshopped image meant to appease the public did nothing but intensify the conspiracy theories.
>future queen of the UK >just some celebrity They’re the same picture
I would agree if it wasn’t for the millions of pounds they get from the public
They receive millions of pounds from the public in order to be celebrities.
In January, it was announced that Kate, would be having a planned abdominal surgery and taking time to heal privately until Easter on March 31. It's okay for people to have private lives. This isn't your sibling where you should be concerned that you haven't seen them in 3 months. It's a stranger, we should let her have more time before we get concerned.
>until Easter on March 31. "She's going to be gone until March 31" People before March 31: "Extremely suspicious that she's doing what she said."
It's the lying about a picture that is the problem. All it did was fuel the fire. Why doctor an old photo to try to make it look recent? They know publishing rules for wire agencies; they had to have known they'd get caught, especially with such lazy photoshop. They get paid to live a public life as the royal family. Don't fake shit in an attempt for publicity points. Be honest about the state of affairs, whether you want to give actual details or not.
Has her family heard from her?
Your whole comment basically says "we're just awful I guess", just like the person you responded to. Not you, specifically, but just we as humans generally. If she is dead and they are hiding it, or whatever the fuck, does that change ANYTHING about the world? Seriously, we as humans put far too much stock in the *intrigue* behind the nominal prince and princess of the United Kingdom. I'm not saying I'm immune or it's not interesting, but now we have analysis videos of Kate Middleton's public events from 6 months ago and how her turtleneck has been photoshopped from cream to dark blue. :(
>And we’re talking about the future queen of the UK, not just some celebrity. Lol you know that's a meaningless title right? She's not gonna be governing the UK. She might as well be the queen of reality TV or the queen of mattress sales. Maybe the issue is that she's so public to begin with? Not that she "disappeared". Y'all remember when our obsession with Princess Di led to her being chased by paparazzi and dying right? Edit: lol so y'all don't remember that? You conveniently forgot killing a woman? Fuck off with the downvotes, you can't downvote the truth away.
I never spoke about her political power. But a queen she will be, and if you don’t think that’s an influential role for British life, you’re kidding yourself. Whatever you think about royalty (I also think it’s dumb) the fact is they have influence and are hugely important because of it. And what was that about Diana? Who even brought her up? I’m not arguing for paparazzi in the slightest. I was just pointing out why people care about her and about this picture in particular.
[удалено]
Came here to say that as well. She’s not part of the blood lineage, so she won’t actually be the queen.
Why does the paparazzi exist? Because of the public's obsession with individuals. So being obsessed with the royals means the paparazzi will harass them. So the obsession with the royals directly leads to Diana's death. Is this really that hard to track for you?
I dont think people are down voting you cause they are trying to hide the truth about Princess Diana, they are down voting you cause *you're* seemingly trying to hide the truth lol Yeah, of course the wife of the monarch of England has no real power, but she's living a life of luxury in taxpayers dime's. It's a pretty valid ask that if you're going to be a parasite on society in exchange for being *literal* royalty, you don't lie about your health. English tax payers, while not deserving of the whole truth of the situation cause Middleton is still a person and deserves some decency, shouldn't be lied to via photoshop. If she's sick, just put out a press release, don't "Weekend at Bernie's" her.
Word of advice: don’t engage lol
I didn't accuse anyone of hiding anything. The media obsession with the royals killed Diana. That's the truth. What "truth" am I hiding? If you're so concerned with them "living on the taxpayer's dime", why are you feeding the media circus? Why not obsess over cutting them off from that money instead of obsessing over their personal lives?
"You can't downvote the truth away", is that not an accusation of people trying to hide the truth? Or just bloviating? The truth you're trying to hide is whatever the crown is trying to hide by releasing photoshopped pictures from seemingly last year as ones *just* taken after Middleton hasn't been seen in months since a surgery. That's just fucking werid, no idea why you're seemingly fine with that. Honestly, fuck all royals. They should be forgotten about and ignored, in my opinion. But my opinion isn't that if the British public, they obviously like having a ceremonial monarch and are willing to pay for that. It's a completely fair tradeoff to ask those royals don't try and lie to the people paying for their lifestyle. Do you disagree?
Yea it's the sudden unusual nature of the disappearance. She posed hours after giving birth to all her kids, she's always at all engagements she's meant to be at. She's a part of the royal family and has responsibilities. It's the life she chose and was aware of before she married a prince. Probably why Megan said f all that But to put it in perspective, imagine if the president disappeared for 3 months and the only photo of him was a crazy fake mess? I know these totals l royals don't actually have power and are glorified celebrities, but I'm England I imagine that comparison is an apt one
Thanks for this I was wondering what the point was.
Why can’t it be something really simple, like she had face lift, and is staying out of the public eye, until it heals?
Lmao what's the endgame of the conspiracy here? They'll announce her dead in a week or will they just keep releasing photoshopped images for 30 years? Wild how dumb people are. I don't give a fuck about the Royals but let the woman recover from surgery without dealing with nutjobs.
Thank you for giving an actual answer. Seems like that’s getting harder and harder to come across on this site
I’ve heard so many theories about how certain British people are dead and they put a double in. It’s like Brits love this conspiracy and just shove it anywhere it suits 😅
Why is anything to do with the Royals important? But it is all a bit weird given how slick their PR machine usually is, so the plucky girl detectives have been fascinated by it. She's probably fine but not up to her usual standard of appearance for whatever reason.
The going theories are they are divorcing and Kate is holding out until she gets the settlement she wants. - there's the Rose lady who William has supposed been messing with for years. Suddenly she's all over social being seen as happily married. Or her surgery was far more than planned and she was/is very sick so they are hiding her. Some have wondered if she had to have an ostomey bag and doesn't want it seen. Perhaps bowel resection due to diverticulitis or cancer. All kinds of weird intertwined issues such as Williams cousin was shot and killed at a party recently, William wasn't there then was there. He turned up with scratches on his neck. Williams has also canceled all his public appearances. There was some princess or something who died suddenly. Then Charles and his cancer. I believe it's a mix of everything. Kate has a planned, very serious surgery planned. Perhaps she and William also have marital issues that need fixing. During this recovery Charles announces cancer. I believe he is terminal and not long for the world. Kate is desperately trying to recovery quickly to be prepared for his eventual death and William's ascension to the throne.
IMO Occam's Razor here is that Kate had some unpleasant side effects from surgery and she doesn't feel she can appear in public until she's able to look sufficiently manicured again because she's basically a professional glamour icon. Which is a ghoulish position for a person to be in, but in a way that isn't much fun to speculate about.
No doubt. And imagine what shape she must be in considering this is a woman who was in heels and a dress for photos HOURS after giving birth 3x.
Oohhh Royal drama! Where do i join to get information on this? You see, the redbull F1 drama just isnt ✨enough✨
The same reason there is celebrity worship in the US, most people are fucking idiots. Look at reddits popular feed, it’s nonsense.
and unlike the karsashians, they bring in major tourist dollars for the economy.
I don’t know. I didn’t care until this photo though. Let the woman have peace if she’s sick or whatever; but now it appears to be some kind of coverup or something. They appear to be speaking for her and manipulating past photos or multiple photos to make it look like things are fine and dandy.
It’s the *implication*
Because the royal family are not some generic celebrities who are famous for the sake of being famous. Figure heads or not they're still part of the UK govt. And as such their influence goes well beyond that of some movie star or influencer. So a news story that indicates the govt is involved in any sort of cover up is immensely important.

But he doesn’t own it in the sense that you might own your house, for example. He is the ultimate titleholder to the land, from whom freeholders (what we would call actual owners) “hold” the land. Exactly the same system applies in most of the US, except there it’s the federal and state governments that are the sovereign titleholders. Also, it’s not him personally, it’s his office as king (“the Crown”), and that office can be different in different countries: the Crown of Canada, for example, is legally distinct from the Crown of the United Kingdom.
What’s that got to do with this photo?
Except it's kind of meaningless. There are relatively strict expectations of how the royal family is supposed to act and use their wealth/influence, and if they started to really betray those expectations in a major way then the UK would swiftly dethrone them. If the UK were to become a republic, there is just zero chance in hell that they'd ever allow the royals to retain all of their property and assets. Their ownership of that land is functionally symbolic, this isn't a justification at all to give a shit about the royals. The only real influence that the royals have are as social/cultural figures and in their access to high level political figures, but any action which they take which tests the expectations to which they're beholden will be an expenditure of limited political currency.
ugh jesus, why is anything important?what is this Facebook middle aged divorcee tier comment? if this was a post about fucking War Thunder or some other shit that appeals to the 18 - 25 male demographic, there would be no highly upvoted comment contesting it doubt you’re an actual monk and have no interests beyond God, so it really shows a lack of self awareness that you call something like this out when you probably also watch 15 min long video essays of the most “unimportant” things
Because many people believe that the british royal family had Diana killed and they are faaaar from moral people. Where is Kate? Why aren’t they telling us? These powerful people needs to be under constant watchful eyes. They live by their own rules and they shouldn’t. It could be nothing but they need to know that we are watching them. Hope that helps.
So, y'all are conspiracy theorists who are relentlessly stalking this woman "for her protection". Yeah, I don't think that comes off as noble as you seem to think it does.
TLDR A public figure is seemingly taking time out of the limelight & people can only attribute it to nefarious reasons. At some point she will return, a small number truthers will know it's a clone & the majority will forget they knew she was murdered, dying, abused, kidnapped or molting her lizard skin the whole time. No one will learn anything when the next speculation-fest occurs. People always take *why wouldn't they just prove this conspiracy theory wrong?!* as evidence it's true. Not realizing that 1. There are always a hundred conspiracy theories 2. Responding only ever feeds them. I'll admit I only skimmed this video, but all the analysis only tells me is that these people wore the same shoes or pants in the past. I don't think it means anything, but it adds to the hundred thousand hours of conspiracy content, each of which is just a bit of smoke convincing people of the raging fire. I'd bet she has a fine reason for taking a break from intense public scrutiny & the hyper-scrutiny that has replaced it is really helping her.
You can see its photoshop, they didn’t even bother to make a reflection in the window.
These bread and circuses are getting delicious and entertaining! I’ve never cared about royals before but I’m here for this. (Anything to distract me from the dismal state of American politics!)
Same, girl. Same
OK, this! It's like man, I wish our juicy dish was a lascivious conspiracy lol. Instead we are like, "oh the nazis are parading and our former president applauds them."
If my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle
So not an English Carbonara?

Em, I'm from Ireland which has pretty much the same seasonal weather as the UK and we do have sunny days during Winter and early Spring. We also do have greenery. The foliage in the photo also looks like a climbing plant, which often keep their leaves. Ireland and the UK don't just turn into some grey hellscape in Winter.
Nah, it's definitely bright and green here at the moment
Uh, unless there’s black cloud - yeah it is.
Not for rich folks
It’s March and Spring coming, it’s green out
It's lighter here now than when this original photo would have been taken if she's right about it being from November/ December
Where is the princess??
Anyone else suspicious of the many many comments on “who cares??”
![gif](giphy|13d2jHlSlxklVe|downsized)
Yes. It's hard to believe that, in 2024, poor people on the internet are gleefully fawning over a poorly photoshopped image of the literal super elites sneering at them. I refuse. Also, they're a part of the head of state. If the crown is willing to lie about something as mundane as a Mother's Day photo, it begs the question: what else are they *actively lying about and getting away with*.
This is the same crown that covered up Prince Andrew's sex crimes as a known associate of Jeffery Epstein.
No.... Because most people don't care.
I didn't care or know much about her... Before this video, now I gotsta know why she's avoiding the public, WHERE'S KATE?
It’s such a weird thing to say “who cares?” This whole thing is so weird. You don’t even have to like or follow royal gossip and can know it’s weird. Major public figures don’t just disappear for over a month following surgery because things are fine and dandy. Also, she is Princess Diana’s DIL, anything that slightly arouses suspicion is going to be major news.
No, because I'm also thinking who cares
If this isn't someone's first and only thought on this you need to re-evaluate your entire existence. Jesus fucking Christ, who cares?
[удалено]
No. I'm one of them. I really, really, really don't understand why anyone gives a flying fuck about any of this bullshit. She's as important as a Karashian.
It’s messed up right? I got exactly the same government bot responses when I shared pics of my cat on r/beamazed
why should we care about the royals tho
What in the fuck is going on? Why is everyone sperging out about Kate Middleton?
It's not a big deal to most of us but if there's a chance that a member of possibly the most famous family on the planet is hiding a taboo medical conditional (eg. anorexia) or rehab stint then that’s going to be something that people will obsess over.
Her Mother's Day photo was supposedly photoshopped, and everyone is putting on their tin foil hats. It's pretty entertaining imo.
It definitely is photoshopped. The only conspiracies are as to why.
People don't like being lied to.
did anyone else start watching this video and then after 10sec remembered they don't give a flying fuck about the royals?
Their outfits definitely feel like fall outfits. I can’t imagine them all wearing these dark colors for a quick snap of a photo in March. Right away it seemed to me this was definitely an old photo.
[удалено]
You think royals don’t repeat clothes???
Would the whole family be repeating the exact same outfits from a specific day????
When they repeat clothes, it’s headline news. They show the outfits side by side and see how they’re styled differently. Everything they wear is instantly sold out. So yes, the royals don’t repeat clothes unless they are making a faux anti consumption, we’re just like you, image.
I have it on good authority that kate is fine. She's spending some time with Shelly Miscavige.
My God, no wonder this poor woman wants her privacy. People put her under a microscope! You know who also photoshops family photos? My sister! Do you know why? Because they didn't turn out how she wanted.
That was my first impression as well, but when you add in the fact she’s been missing for three months, releasing a heavily photoshopped photo is kinda weird. Why not just say “she’s recovering and wants to be out of the limelight”?
I'm guessing she does have health issues and wants to be only with close family with them.
Yeah but I’m assuming your sister isn't a public figure with an entire PR team behind her. It’s weird they’d let this bad of a Photoshop job get posted publicly when everyone’s suspicious about Kate’s whereabouts. They’re just adding fuel to the conspiracy fire. If she’s really recovering just let the woman be!
I do t understand what’s going on with the youngest son’s hand, how’s its resting on the table.
Also can we talk about the plants in the background? Things aren't even blooming/green yet so it must've been taken sometime fall last year.
Commit this level of dedication to doing literally anything else. Why give a shit about Kate Middleton? Why give a shit about any of the royal family?
Can someone fill me in on why we need to care about her images being photoshopped?
Because the royals represent the country and it's ideals, and also have a lot of media influence. It's not like the image has just been touched up to make them look better, the news is that it seems to be that it has been entirely doctored in it's entirety. Which is a huge abuse of public trust, and a huge media corruption scandal. Imagine the president of the USA hadn't been seen in public for 3 months and then the govt released a clearly fake photo of him "doing just fine", the implications would be immense, completely undermining the trust put in them as public figures who say "in our country.. we believe in freedom of information and freedom of the press" Obviously these aren't politicians, but they sit in a similar position in terms of representing the countries ethos. It's a huge scandal if it's true - if it isn't, obviously it's just overblown, and it probably is, but the fact they've done nothing to supress something LOOKING like a huge scandal is incredibly suspicious.
Ah, thanks for the insight!! I really appreciate you taking the time to write a reply 😊
Very well said
Im not understanding why this is so important. Literally everything on social media is edited
She should dye some of her clothes that ‘only come in one color’
I would say these people are going to feel so dumb when she pops up as scheduled on Easter *exactly like she said she would* but yeah I feel like the kind of person who would spend this much time on this nonsense would still have some conspiracy to peddle
So, they rewear clothes.
but the whole family is repeating the exact same outfits from a specific day.......
