Bingo!

I love that they had no issue throwing Kate under the bus today and putting the blame on her. Nice.

Their statement does nothing to appease the world at this point. Where is Kate?

How do they keep making it worth 😭 BBC explanation would have been better

It won’t get better at this point until she shows her face.

I don’t know what to think now. It’s possible she’s on steroids and has ballooned, and is embarrassed or not ready to reveal herself. That’s fine, but then don’t post a clearly, and badly, edited photo.

It’s possible she has a colostomy bag and wants privacy. That’s also fine, but so much more easily hidden under a dress, flowing top, spring jacket, etc.

If she can’t stand, a current photo could have been taken in a chair, on a couch, etc, rather quickly. Louis would be expected to flub the picture and the other two children have always been cooperative for the camera. Nothing surprising here.

The bottom line is SOMETHING is amiss.

She either looks like crap, can’t stand, or has an embarrassing implement related to her recovery.

Or maybe they are getting a divorce and their PR team just sucks.

It’s not just the Kate aspect that’s weird. It’s William and the palaces behavior.

In past crises, when William and Kate have been out at event they are smiling and thanking well wishers. It’s all “thank you so much, so-and-so is on the mend and the family will be fine.” William has been tight lipped here. Canceling appearances. Issuing statements with his crest alone. Not pictured with his kids or father. The palace is denying things -with terrible excuses- that they would never acknowledge in the past.

The royal family is in crisis. There is something deeply wrong with William and Kate’s relationship and possibly impacting relationships further into the royal family. I don’t know exactly what, but W & K’s estrangement seems like only the tip of the iceberg.

All of this. What the people who are mad about this speculation don't understand is that many of us are not upset about Kate being out of the public eye, whether she's taking time to recover or just needed a break. I don't even care what her medical issue is! She's entitled to sick leave or R&R or whatever, and her actual "job" is to be a mother, essentially, so I don't really think it's that important that she's not going to events.

The issue is the behavior of William and the palace is weird, erratic, totally inconsistent with the past, and is making Kate's absence seem like it's a big deal.

When they first announced her surgery and recovery, my only thought was "oh I wish her the best, I hope she recovers well." I don't even care about the royals really, but I'm a mom in my 40s who has had a serious health issue and it's hard and I just felt empathetic.

And I still feel empathetic towards Kate, who I do think must be going through some kind of medical issue. But the palace's and William's behavior during her absence has been SO WEIRD that I also think something else is going on because if this was genuinely just about her recuperating from a planned surgery and nothing more, they would have had a straightforward PR plan for it and followed it and the only people who would be speculating are fringe crazies on social media. At this point a lot of us who are normal, non-conspiracy theorists are looking at this going "wtf is going on?"

Kate is not the issue. Something is amiss with Kensington Palace.

Sums up my opinion! The deception and the conflicting statements has been awful. Kate is out of commission and they're not rallying behind her. That is sad.

The palace blamed Catherine. Do you really thing she doctored it and posted?

You have identified the problem.

Yup, and they greatly underestimated how mentally ill some people atr, and how vocal they are about it.

People don't like to be told no, they fully believe they are entitled to everything.
It wasn't enough that they were told she wasn't well and was having surgery and would be out of commission for some time. No, they felt they needed to know exactly why.
Because they aren't acting exactly as they want well that entitles them to create stories about Divorce, and DV- how sick do you have to be to gleefully imagine a woman being abused by her husband because she isn't up taking pictures like you want her to?

It’s interesting that this article was posted only hours after the original photo was published:

https://x.com/tudorchick1501/status/1767065443519320403?s=46&t=B_UPLhyHnaYTWZGHGKR0lQ

Speculation:

Rose is pregnant or a new arrangement was proposed after Xmas and Catherine wasn’t having it

Come on, get over the Rose stuff. A 40 year old woman isn't having an oops pregnancy.

It’s no coincidence if a British publication is pushing out another story on her right now. You have to ask yourself why. Is this the soft launch of Camilla 2.0??

They are doing their best to protect her and her privacy. From the insane Internet speculation.

This is so obviously marital discord. Kate isn't cooperating in order to have leverage over the negotiations. It's truly the only leverage she has--she knows the public wants to see her, and she knows the palace knows it. So Will and his press office decide to put out statements and post photos to make it seems like everything is ok and they are one big happy family. When the photo got killed by multiple press agencies for being doctored, Will's office puts out another statement "from Kate" taking the blame. She can't speak out or issue her own statement because she doing so would cause even more havoc and jeopardize her leverage. They would go scorched earth on her if she started pulling back the curtain. So she'll sit tight and play along to get what she wants.

A divorce is the only thing that makes sense at this point. It explains why no one has seen or heard from her for nearly 3 months, except the pap photo from last week showing her in a car. It explains Will canceling his attendance last minute at the memorial service for a "personal matter." It explains how he hasn't said anything much about Kate in recent weeks. It explains the announcement that she'd attend the Trooping in June and the abrupt denial.

The palace probably thought they'd have everything worked out by Easter and that they could plead privacy by tying it to a medial condition--hence the original timeline and early statements given--but that date is rapidly approaching and things do not seem to be going well.

PP has decided that Kate & William are getting divorced. Kates aying she altered the photo means that she's being thrown under the bus and it's part of the start of a smear campaign against her.

If it wasn't William would have said everything was his fault. Of course if he did that it would still mean they were getting a divorce because why couldn't he get a photo with his wife and kids?

Bottom line pp wants them to be divorcing because somehow that vindicates her faves H &M

A marital split fits the facts best, I think, but the puzzling part for me is believing it’s Kate who wants a divorce. Yes, the marriage seems abysmal, but don’t they live mostly separately anyway? She seems so focused on carrying out her role. What could Will possibly do now that would make her decide to divorce him?

I just don’t quite buy it.

DP. Why are you bringing up H & M? If Kate and William are divorcing, it has nothing to do with his brother. You make no sense.
