TL/DR KateGate

Anonymous
This thread is not for commentary. This is for periodic updates and news articles. Read this before wading into the mega thread.

Here I’ve copied a summary from another poster:

Outlandish theories:

- she’s dead
- she’s being severely physically abused
- she was pregnant with a child by someone other than William
- this whole kerfuffle is because she doesn’t want her son to go to boarding school.

Not outlandish theories

- she has an eating disorder
- she is having maritial difficulties
- she has lost favor with the BRF
- the BRF is not being honest about what is going on

Facts:
- the BRF took the highly unusual step of making an official statement about gossip from a relatively insecure (though reputable) reporter
- Catherine and William have a well-resourced PR team who at least allowed the narrative that Catherine is an idiot making bad photoshop
- Media/tabloid outlets who have access to the RF are trying to spin a “Kate is mentally unstable narrative”
- the children never visited Kate in the hospital
- William visited her only once

There are a lot of theories that people are trying to dismiss as conspiracy but that make a hell of a lot more sense than what the royals would have us believe.

Thanks for not commenting on this thread.

I'm just going to add a link to this article, which has been posted a few times in the other thread but keeps getting buried. This offers a really good chronological timeline of events.

William was only papped visiting her once. We don't know that's the case.

This is a good idea for a thread but still too insider for someone like me. What gossip did BRF comment on? What did they say?

Terminal illness and/or coma after surgery for said illness

A report from a Spanish journalist that Kate is in a coma.

Handgate (besides the knuckle and missing ring as noted in the tweet, also notice the strong light from the left which doesn't match the lighting on their faces)
