In my opinion, the left side of her face looks different than the right…

Why “Kate Middleton”?

She’s not Princess Kate, She’s Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales.

Only Princesses of the Blood Royal are entitled to use HRH Princess Givenname. Since 1917 daughters and male line descent granddaughters are styled and titles this way. Before 1917 Great granddaughters in the male line were Princesses with the staple of Highness. Now they are titles and styled as the daughter of a Duke.

Women who marry in are either fortunate to marry a royal duke and then they are titled and styled HRH the Duchess of XYZ. A few are stuck like that old witch HRH Princess Michael, who we all know years to be called Princess Marie-Christine (chortle), with their husband’s name (as in the US many women were and some are Mrs.John Jomes).

QEII made a special exception for her aunt (by marriage) in recognition for her service to the monarchy. When Prince Henry, The Duke of Gloucester died, Alice did NOT want to be HRH The Dowager Duchess of Gloucester. The Queen allowed her to be styled as HRH Princess Alice, The Duchess of Gloucester.

In any case, I think Kate Middleton was in the picture for such a long time that the press were in the habit of using that, and the public knew her well that way, and jt just sort of continued. When Meghan came along, it was natural to follow the same habit, and she had minor fame under that name already.

So why was Princess Di called that?

The 'work' is the excuse for the family being subsidized by tax payers

Think of it as diplomacy with less of a political angle and with a local, national and international platform. It's important in its odd way, but they are doing a shit job lately.

Ok, but does it really matter if they do 5 engagements instead of 10? Or whatever

When my mother had surgery, she stayed with us so that we could take care of her. For Kate to stay with her parents so that they could take care of her, that makes sense to me. That doesn't mean that she didn't have surgery though.

Agreed. I don't think she and William have a great relationship as it is so it makes sense for her to want to be around her parents during a vulnerable time.

Even if they had a good relationship, he doesn’t seem like the “clean my colostomy bag” type. I’m sure her mom is better at administering the health aides and generally making her feel better. I would think they are staying at Windsor though to make it easier on the kids.

My friend in London who travels in peripheral royal social circles is adamant that Kate is being treated for an eating disorder.

That's very sad. It's sad that with so much and 3 beautiful kids women still cause harm to their bodies. What a sick making world we live in.

Isn't school in session? I think we'd have heard if the kids had been pulled from school to stay elsewhere.

Lots of online schools nowadays. I don't think they would say a peep

Well, that's nonsense. They attend a posh private school. There's no way they pulled the kids for online instruction.

I don’t believe it. You wouldn’t need surgery plus a 2 week hospital stay and months more out of public. I don’t think they lied about having surgery bc she wouldn’t stay in the hospital unless she absolutely had to and couldn’t get that level of care with their full medical staff at home. Inpatient ED treatment that normal people get, Kate would be able to get at home with pretty much their full service medical staff

Getting a g tube placed is “abdominal surgery.”

No matter what, I’m glad she’s well enough to sit in a car. Hope she is able to further recover for her kids.

She’s finally put on some weight!

Do you own multiple palaces complete with servants?

Being taken care of after surgery by servants or being taken care of by your parents, which one would you choose?

Are you people human?

+1. ”Stars… They’re Just Like Us!” I actually think it’s endearing when wealthy folks with access to unlimited childcare rely on their families instead. I remember Doria watched the kids in CA when H&M were in the UK and thought it was really sweet. And I recall times in years past where it was reported that Kate’s mom watched the kids while she was off doing her royal stuff. So wouldn’t be surprising at all if she wanted her parents’ help despite having nannies and maids. She’s still a person, y’all!
