I'm wondering if there is some sort of "mistress's alliance" between Lady Rose and Queen Camilla. Rose Hanbury's son was named one of the four "Pages of Honor" at King Charles's coronation, alongside Prince George...

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Camilla is running the palace intrigue. If Rose Hanbury ended up with William, she would be forever in the pocket of Camilla and her branch of the family. Catherine is only loyal to William and I suspect Camilla does not like that.

Camilla is getting the boot as soon as Charles is gone.

Totally agree. William didn’t nod/bow to her at the commonwealth ceremony today; Edward did.

She has zero reason to stay. Charles will leave her provided for and she has her own family.

She's not a blood royal. She didn't birth any heirs or royal children. She's got no role beyond being Charles wife if course she's getting the boot.

Proof of life today

This is not proof of life. We can’t even see her face.

What would be a satisfactory proof of life?

We saw her face- and the claim was it was a body double.

Photo release - shown to be doctored not current


Today's photo - can't see her face.

So what do you need?

Don't be obtuse. There have been three attempts at proof of life in the last week.

1) Blurry photos taken by american paps with her in the car with her mom

2) Photo issued from the palace that is immediately proven to be heavily doctored

3) Blurry photos taken by a KP placed photographer where she refuses to look at the camera.

What would obviously clear this up is a normal to high quality picture of her face. Which isn't exactly a lot to ask from someone who's literal job is to be photographed in places and who has a substantial staff paid to make her look good. The fact that they have not done this despite CLEARLY knowing it needs to be done and fumbling two attempts shows that something is wrong.

I mentioned all 3. The American photos weren't blurry you and your ilk just decided it didn't look enough like her because her face was puffy.

Just admit you won't be satisfied with anything no matter what they do.

It is possible she's still on steroid or other therapy that would cause facial swelling.

I'm sure I'll be corrected but Wills doesn't bow because he's senior to stepMIL.

I liked time's write up about their PR.

For instance, last year they used photos from the same two photo shoots to commemorate Christmas 2022, Will & Kate's anniversary in 2023, and Mother's Day 2023. They also used photos from another shoot (or possibly the same shoot but different outfits) to commemorate all the kid's birthdays. None of these photos were contemporaneous and in some cases would have been as much as 9-10 months old when posted. None of them were posted with a date -- you can see from the photos that they are "recent enough" to represent generally what they look like right now. It was fine.

So why did they suddenly feel the need to try and pass this photo off as recent? In fact, why even make it ambiguous? Share a photo from December 2023 that was prominently covered to commemorate Mothers Day so it's not even an issue.

I just don't get it. It's such an own goal. They lied, got caught in the lie, and still aren't even admitting it, instead posting a vague admission from Catherine that she sometimes toys with photoshop. It is very strange behavior from a press shop that is usually pretty good.

Total, 100% unforced error. And then raises questions and satisfies no one.

The orginal photo with her mother was blurry. Someone put a filter on to try and clean up the blurriness but that ended up causing more issues.

Didn't she have a recent new hire? Maybe down to inexperience? Could also track with the last minute photoshop?

Yes, I saw something about how she hired a new equerry. I don't really know what an equerry does these days, but it used to be the person who took care of the horses, and I don't believe Kate rides.

He was Queen Elizabeth's equerry. He's now Kate's private secretary. He's also a Royal Marine who looks like Roger Federer, and he certainly could kick William's ass. Just in case that's important.

Au contraire personally I felt the american photos were the best and they DID give proof of life. I think she looked fine in them, which means her complete refusal to play ball with KP on putting something out means something is wrong with W+K not Kate.

How do you know this wasn't all her idea? She didn't want a new photo taken and shared and compromised on a mish mash which didn't quite work? She's supposed to be on some kind of medical leave of absence and people won't stop bugging her.

Today's car photo and the photo of her with her mom would seem to be proof of life, which frankly at this point I'm glad to see.

Mish mash? Because she's a million times smarter then to think it would ever work.
