Proof of life today

We all know that she's alive and well. She's not sickly and recovering.
It's divorce.

Bingo.

If it wasn’t and her FIL is dying of cancer you know she’d do anything/whatever it takes to get herself looking great and smiling/waving (even if sick/with a colostomy bag).

She’s not sick. There is no bag. King may not even have cancer - they are trying to deflect on the scrutiny that is inevitable as the dissolution negotiations go on and she’s phased out of royal life.

I think she likely is sick. Or was, and did in fact have a procedure done that required a hospital stay. I think it would be too hard to fake that, and also it would be way too risky for the RF to claim she was having surgery done if she wasn't.

But I also think something else is badly amiss and they were using the surgery and recovery to conceal it, but it went wrong. Either because Catherine is not participating in the ruse, or because the other issues are so embarrassing/upsetting that the palace has made a bunch of unforced errors in an effort to keep them under wraps.

This. She likely did have a minor surgery completed (maybe a removal of something?) from which she recovered quickly. The larger issue is the failure of W&C's marriage. Likely a huge deal because King Charles' prognosis is worse than they are letting on and the idea of William taking the throne as a divorcee with no queen consort could be disastrous. RF has been banking on the W&C love into the next generation. This is about to collapse. Kate is likely seeking terms for her cooperation the next few years. God knows if she can ever really step aside entirely. What would a William coronation look like without a (beloved) wife?

I'm not ready to assume this is related to them splitting up (I think something is definitely up but just think we need to wait and see).

However, I was perusing their official instagram page yesterday because of the photo fiasco and I have to say, just scanning the grid for the last couple months versus just last year when Kaye was well and in public-- her absence is just glaring and depressing.

I think especially after having QEII as matriarch for so long, and the emphasis they placed on family and projecting an image of family connection and loyalty (if not warmth) throughout her reign, the absence of Catherine AND the kids from their public life is very deeply felt. When it's just William, it feels cold and almost meaningless. It highlights the silliness of his role.

They need Catherine. And the kids. It doesn't work without them and I think if they split, it spells something very bad for the RF.

Almost all of the public support for the monarchy is anchored in the love for William and Kate. The couple's popularity has single handedly brought the RF back from the brink of disaster. Kate's absence would likely signal an overwhelming loss of public support. And with Charles very sick, she is likely lobbying for conditions. Her family maneuvered to put her in that position and it is telling that she is back with mom/dad now. This is a business transaction and they're getting better terms. I cannot imagine her getting out entirely. She likely won't for the kids - at least until they are adults.

This gives me Katie Holmes vibes.

This came to a head after Christmas and William’s temper got the best of him. She’s been incapacitated (or worse) since. Kids are being told the same lies the world is being told while they figure out how to handle it. Maybe she’s in a coma and they don’t want to say anything until they know whether she’s going to recover. Or maybe it’s worse. They’re assuming interest is going to die down and, if she doesn’t make it or didn’t make it, they can blame recovery from whatever surgery as the cause of death. Her parents are radio silence because they’re waiting for a payout for their troubles.

I doubt it’s eating disorder related because that would be such a great cause for people to get behind and sympathize with.

At this point the world is going to need some sort of actual proof of life or this situation is going to continue spiraling. I think it could be the downfall of the BRF.

You sound insane or like you write fanfic. The BRF has been around a very long time.

If Catherine were not alive for any reason there is no way that delaying that announcement for months would be helpful.

I think she’s still alive but they’re waiting to see if she might be able to recover from whatever is going on. Like maybe the her face is partially paralyzed or something.

She took a boulder to the face

Boulder theory, part 2 I'm home with 2 kids sick with flu, this is the content I needed, thank you.

How awful. Kate is being stalked like Diana was.

It’s not awful. She signed up for this.

Nah, no one signs up for this level of stalking. Doesn't matter if you're an entertainer, athlete, billionaire, or royalty.

How is she being stalked? The palace told the photographer where to be and when so they could get a picture. And Kate knew to turn away and hide her face.

She is not being stalked.

Why did the palace send photographers if she was going to turn her face and not be photographed. That makes no sense.

Because she has some free will? Should will hold her face and make sure she looks in the right direction?

I totally agree. She has very little control and she can (if that was her) control what direction she turns her head or not.

She did. She fully knew what she was getting into.

She knew but she didn’t know. I’m guessing it’s far worse than she could ever imagine.

Well, imagine that!

Yes, she signed up for it.

+1. She made it through the whole period of separation from William, when the press was calling her Waity Katy. She knew what she was getting into when he finally asked for her hand.

No woman knows what she is getting into when married or first giving birth. Marriage and motherhood is the journey of the unexpected .

One can also make the case that Will knew what he was getting into when he asked for her hand in marriage. If he was so in love with Rose like his father with Camelot, he should’ve spared the poor woman’s heart and married his true love.

Do we think they were headed to that pizza restaurant with the ped ring in the basement??

You’re so immature it’s embarrassing

I laughed. No one is embarrassed by a joke. Go smell some salts.

You’re not funny, you keep repeating the same childish sentences over and over. That’s what’s embarrassing.

So what’s next here?
Wait and see if the family appears together on Easter?
Something likely between now and then?

Would he be able to carry on like this at today’s event if that was the back story?

Uh, yes. He was paraded behind his dead mother’s hearse for miles in front of the whole world at fourteen or so and expected to maintain his composure. So yes he would - he has been practicing performing in the public eye his entire life.

Then again maybe they're still photoshopping.

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.

+1 This reminds me of Melania staying in NYC for months at the beginning of Trump’s presidency “because of B*rron’s school” when she was actually renegotiating her prenup.

Exactly. Lawyer here. If she was my client, I would advise her to let them clean up this mess, dig in her heels and not participate in anything they are requesting.

Everything should be on the table with respect to negotiation. Force them to come to the table. Use the media to cause chaos and confusion - the more unstable he looks, especially without her, the more leverage she will have. The more she withholds her presence and assistance, the better off she’ll be.

When will the real story come out? Easter?

This is a great point. I don't know a single person who "knew what they were getting into" with marriage or parenthood no matter how long they dated or tried for kids or whatever.

That's a great question. Somehow this photo was supposed to silence the questioning - and it's made it worse. Whoever's in charge of their PR needs to be fired.

To force her to smile and wave to appease you? You’re really going off the deep end.

Perhaps if she wasn't turning away, everyone would believe it's her. Stop gaslighting.

The photographers were Jim Bennett/Kelvin Bruce, who are longtime photographers for the Royal Family. Google them and Prince William, and you'll see they've been taking pictures of him since he was a young child. Clearly the photo today was staged.

The photo credit today is BRUCE BENNETT. Says his name right on the image. Who is this Jim you are talking about?

NP but just from reading these 2 quotes I'm assuming Bruce Bennett stands for Kelvin Bruce and Jim Bennett. Now I don't know those people and I haven't googled anything I'm just using common sense.
