If she had a colon resection, it’s normal to look and feel miserable.

Everyone edits family pictures.

Geez.

We’d have the same reaction here if the President or VP was ill and hiding, didn’t provide specifics, and released a doctored photo as proof of life. You give up your privacy in these types of positions.

Elected officials have real jobs to do.

The princess visits preschools and shelters.

No comparison.

Will and Kate are working royals and can act as head of state in Charles’ stead. Of course their “jobs” are silly in comparison to people who actually work, but their lifestyle is subsidized by the public in the same manner.

While many think this is a joke by going along with it and contributing to it all it’s doing is diminishing another woman’s autonomy for your entertainment. Congrats?

ITA.

So bully her because you need to know? Guess you're not made of as strong stuff.

That's QUITE a leap from my statement.

One thing is that for everyone saying nothing is up, “something” is obviously up at this point. Whether it’s health or personal, major or minor we don’t know. I think some of these really elaborate theories seems outlandish and also think there’d be more leaking if some were true (there clearly are staff, drs, etc who know what’s up).

No, it is not interesting, because the photo where you all are speculating whether or not she is paralyzed was taken in November 2023, when she was definitely not paralyzed. So its' pointless to speculate about how she looks in that photo, which is 5 months old and from a time when she was regularly being seen in public.

You all have some pretty wild ideas. Absolutely no way William beat her, or she attempted suicide. Highly, highly unlikely.

Chrohns complications is a maybe, but I would also say unlikely. That is usually a chronic disease with an onset much early that cause a lot of problems. She has pretty much always appeared very physically fit and active (plus she likely wouldn’t have been approved for royal marriage).

ED seems also unlikely to me, at least for a surgical intervention. That would be a real freak complication.

The most likely reason a seemly perfectly heathy and well cared for 42 yr old women would end up acutely needing surgery would be appendicitis. My theory is hers burst or was leaking and she got a bit septic. This prolongs the hospital stay and makes surgery a lot more complicated (no longer laparoscopic) as it involves other areas now and washing out, etc. It can also mean parts of bowel became involved and had to be removed. This also makes recovery longer too.

She isn’t a normal person. Going out in public for a random citizen after surgery would mean throwing on some sweats and running to the grocery store. Kate can’t do that. Her going out in public is a full blown affair. She isn’t up to it and I get it. Even a photo requires a lot of time spent in hair and makeup, she might not be looking how she feels is presentable. I really think this is all there is. A few more weeks she will be looking perfect and pretend like nothing happened.

The blatant bullying of Kate has surpassed the harassment of Diana.

They should just come out and talk about the complications post surgery and ask for people to respect their privacy and that the return of Kate to public life may be longer than initially thought. I think people could respect that. Many folks are saying at some point in her recovery, she’s had a stroke, which has Complicated things

Not really. She hasn't bent to your will and come out with it no matter how crazy your theories. You said you wouldn't be able to take it and would crumble like a house of cards. What am I not getting?

She released a family photo that she had photoshopped like most on this forum do. She acknowledged the photoshopping.

Let the woman recover in peace.

She is not reading DCUM.

It was not a little skin filtering. It was an entirely deceptive photo. It’s strange.

it's strange people refuse to acknowledge the significance of it.

But Kate is so beautiful! She looks like she's 35 max! Therefore we should accept anything KP or BP tell us without question!

She is stunning. She'll ultimately be the prettiest Queen in history.

No, she shouldn’t reveal private information because people are nosy jerks

The intrigue into the British royal family is why they’re still around. Otherwise, who cares about them visiting daycare, churches, etc. they can’t have it both ways.

She has used her own edited photos before and they have been published. Assume that she was just rushed to put something out, worked on the photo, maybe didn’t give it as much time and attention it needed and sent it out sans information that it had been edited (as an oversight or simply just not caring because she wanted to get it done) and now she and William are facing this ridiculous firestorm of speculation over carelessness. Granted the fact that she underwent some mysterious abdominal procedure and hasn’t been seen in public for an extended period makes this so much worse, if it weren’t for this would a badly edited photo really matter. If she wasn’t in a bad place before, all this speculation over a careless act certainly has put her in one.

Yes--maybe because she is weak and in recovery and slapped on together was like "here you go f*******kers".

Oh cmon. She isn’t paralyzed. It is pretty obv and pretty much confirmed this picture was more or less either taken in the a few months ago AND photoshopped a ton.

There is talk of the photo of her actually being a 2016 Vogue photo. (Vogue Magazine Cover)

No one is forcing anyone to be interested in them. They owe you nothing.
