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? |
Not outlandish theory:
Terminal illness and/or coma after surgery for said illness |
Outlandish theory: The royal family was poisoned by the Russians |
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)
