Why so much photoshopping of the kids' clothes when that would raise red flags? Why imply it was a photo from 2024?

Perhaps she’s unwell mentally akin to Britney at the moment. Nothing makes sense to us that makes sense to her.

Bipolar sets in at much younger ages. She was seen in public in late December, interacting with the public, etc. I do not genuinely believe that it was Catherine editing the photo. Gullible much?

not always. my mother in law was just diagnosed at age 70 after a manic episode. spent one month in mental institution.

Not "imply," say. They said it was taken last week by PW in the caption. That was just a flabbergasting lie if it's an old photo.

It did not actually say that, it said "2024" which could be interpreted as a photo for MD 2024. It did not say, "Taken in March 2024" for example.

The photo, which is still posted to their Instagram, included a caption that read "[camera emoji] 2024."

This is Instagram parlance for "this photo was taken in 2024." It is not ambiguous. That's what that means. It did not say "Happy Mother's Day 2024" or have #mothersday2024. It had a caption identifying it as a photo taken in 2024.

Notably, they rarely identify the year a photo was taken in their posts. They often identify the photographer, but not the date. They were making an effort to convince people that this was a recent photo of Kate and the kids, which is (1) unnecessary, they are not required to post a recent photo of her, and (2) weird because it was a five month old photo that was badly photoshopped for some reason.

This was not a misunderstanding or misinterpretation. This was an effort to pass a doctored old photo as a recent photo to silence rumours, and it blew up spectacularly. This is their own fault.

Nope. Illegitimate kids don't count.

They could if the monarch decided they should.

And unicorns are real.

No, unicorns are fake. But monarchs can make changes to the line of succession. QEII changed the rules so that girls would succeed over their younger brothers, for instance. That's why Charlotte is 3rd in line in line, before Louis, but Anne comes behind her younger brothers.

No. That would be Parliament, which made the change in 2013.

Amazing that people speak so authoritatively when they are just making things up.

Yup.

As much or more to the point, all of this concern trolling is predicated on the idea that William is abusive and screwing a particular other woman — despite no evidence of the former, and the person most responsible for the affair rumor living on Twitter, Giles Coren, stating later that he made it up. Where is the in-print objective evidence that this stuff underlying these acidic rumors is at all true? Where?

Naw, that’s not actually what he said. When confronted, Coren said he didn’t start the rumor. And he didn’t. Dan Wootton first insinuated a falling out between Kate and Rose and that’s the real starting point. Giles Coren was just riffing off of things others posted. Sorry!

But bipolar may be diagnosed at much later ages. Like my ex, who got his diagnoses in his late 50s. Before that it was just a wild ride of depression and awful financial decisions that we shook our heads about.

That said, I don't think for even a second that she's bipolar.

I would think even an UNHAPPILY married couple would do this in this specific scenario. If I were Kate and actually devastated about something/wanting to be left alone, I would be going out of my way to create one genuine non manufactured moment to get everyone off my back. I certainly wouldn't go about it in a way 100% designed to make the situation even worse.

A "proof of life" photo was demanded and provided. But, the goalposts are always moving, eh? She was looking away from the PHOTOGRAPHER too. That was the likely statement. They had conveyed she would return to public appearances after Easter, not on 3/11.

But we have to assume KP set up the pap, because otherwise the British press haven't been publishing anything on her.

So why wouldn't she cooperate? She already agreed to ride in a car with William to their two separate engagements/appointments. Why not seal the deal with a full-face picture, no need even to smile at her husband, just show us she's recovering?

She has no incentive to leave because she would never get full custody of her kids. Under what scenario would both sides come to the conclusion of divorce?

I think as some PPs have suggested, she is using this chance to leverage something in a possibly unhappy marriage. Then once that has been figured out, things will go back to normal and we will never know what really happened.

Why do you think Kate would only accept full custody?

I don't think she wants anything less than what she has now, full custody. Why would she walk away from that?

She doesn't have full custody now.

Are you saying she would be able to see her kids as much as she does now if she divorced William? I don't see how that is possible.

That's not what full custody means. If she deems it's more beneficial for the kids in the long then 100% she's making that choice. Why do you want Kate to be a weak timid mouse?

Under what scenario would her leaving, seeing the kids less often, but leaving William and the RH still with full access to the kids, more beneficial for the kids?

Pretty sad you do t see how detrimental it can be for parents in an unhappy marriage to stay together. If it's starting to affect then it's 1000% morw beneficial for them to separate.

Twitter is a buzz about a Lady Rose Hanbury - William's AP.

There would be a revolution if they tried to pull that off, French-style.

I think she's just not great at photoshop, had to photoshop swollen hands too...Nobody wants to see her looking big or bad in any way. I think about that sometimes: people like her or Jackie O., 20lbs heavier, wouldn't have been liked at all, or married who they did. The pressure to look perfect is real.

What I don't get is, why was everybody photoshopped?
- if they used a November 2023 photo, it was because she looked normal (no puffy hands or face yet). In this scenario, they'd avoid the need to photoshop Kate's face and hands. But they would need to photoshop the kids' clothes so people wouldn't suspect they were passing off an old photo.
- if they used a current photo, then maybe they'd photoshop Kate's face and hands to reduce puffiness. But then the kids could wear different clothes and there'd be no reason to photoshop the kids.

They could have used an old photo and not photoshopped it or claimed it was recent. If people didn't like it, they could have their supporters point out they often post older photos to commemorate holidays and remind people they said Kate would be out of the public eye until after Easter. Hold the line.

If they really felt the need to post a current photo, they could have taken a photo but used artistry to protect Catherine's privacy. A photo from a distance, a photo of her with the kids artistically backlit, etc. think of when new parents post photos of new babies. Sometimes people post close ups of their hands holding the baby's hands, and one reason for this is that a lot of new moms don't want photos of themselves right after birth.

The idea that their only option was to doctor an old photo and claim it was a new photo is crazy.

Bargaining chip. She's not going to fully cooperate until she gets what she's gunning for.
