I think we all know the photo is a fake. We all know something is up and the cat is firmly out of the bag.

the only question now is whether they are heading for divorce; what are the grounds; what are her terms for return to the marriage; and who had the AP. Or long shot that neither did and she is just done with her position. Given how hard Kate and the Middletons lobbied for this role and their new found rank in society, I find it implausible that she or the family would leave. Maybe the Middletons want money? God knows.

Start another thread Megaloons.

+1 this.

I will also say, for those still hung up on the picture, there are many articles, such as this one from the telegraph, that explain the degree of photoshopping, which explains why it’s a problem. You can’t merge someone’s head and then claim it as fact

“ Analysis of data embedded in the image indicates that a copy and paste function was used, most likely in the section featuring her face.”

Also, for those concerned it’s an invasion of her privacy, she’s the future queen of England and the hypocrisy is stunning. Case in point, Celia Walden of the Telegraph just released an article titled “Shameful Speculation about the Princess of Wales’ Health has to Stop” yet when MM had Archie, her piece said “Meghan Can’t Demand Privacy for baby Archie while asking the public to fund her family’s lifestyle.” So which is it?

Any of this could have been managed with simple PR.

Yes.

If she needed leverage bc her husband wants to continue with his affair and/or he’s asked to divorce before becoming king (knowing he couldn’t get a divorce once king as head of the Church of England)….

Color me confused, wasn’t the COE founded because a king wanted a divorce?

The ignorance of the low information posters here never surprises. Yes. So a way would be found.

NO ONE, NOT ONE PERSON said they hate her. So just stop with this line.
This is a colossal dustup of their own making with people just bad at their jobs.

Oh please. No comparison with Diana who was driven by the press to death in a tunnel, or to Meghan who had to leave the country.

Your fawning adoration for Kate it's toe-curling. I bet you subscribe to teen magazines too.

So this is all your perverse way of getting payback?

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?

I think that might be some people's goal but I actually don't need her to share her medical information. I am curious about the frankly insane behavior from the Kensington Palace press office, and to me that's where the drama is. If this were really just about a medical issue and recovery, and nothing more, I don't think we'd be getting weird contradictory messages from KP, and they wouldn't have tried to doctor a 5 month old photo and pass it off as new (and no, I don't believe that Catherine randomly decided to change all the colors/patterns in the photo for fun before posting it herself to their official Instagram page and distributing a copy to news agencies on her own).

This is not about invading the privacy of a woman having a medical issue. It's about a powerful, wealthy institution behaving in an erratic and suspicious way that raises questions.

I find the apology by princess Catherine really inauthentic. She edited the photo herself? She has time to be doing that? The edits aren't like removing a pimple or smoothing lines, they are putting different photos and together and realigning whole body parts. This has to be someone in the media team or a staff person. But somehow they think it's better if she takes the blame herself? I don't get it

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).

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)

That is strange. If she had abdominal surgery her current face should be fine for photos.

All of it is crazy.

She's paralyzed? OMG. She was in a DV incident so bad she needed stomach surgery? JFC She is hiding out and faking the whole thing because of an impending divorce? Come on.

If this speculation is "crazy", then what do you think is going on?

If this is all about custody that seems ridiculous- the kids are accustomed to parents traveling and being raised by nannies already. Not much will change. And Kate could even become more famous and wealthy after divorce so money cannot be the issue. I don’t understand what she needs a bargaining chip or leverage for ?

Just curious, other than being mother to the future king, what would make her become more famous? She has no personality and other than fake smiling and playing with her hair, she doesn’t really seem to have any skills.

I don't think anyone hates her. I also don't think she's reading or watching any of it, and I doubt the kids are exposed to it either.

I can see how some of this would be burdensome but I actually don't think it's as bad as what happened to Diana or Meghan, because in both of those cases the family declined to protect or defend them from the press attacks and speculation. In some cases members of the royal family or their staff even encouraged or planted rumors about both of them. The press also treated them fairly terribly, but I think the thing that hurt them both was having the family throw them to the wolves. Both women also get trashed for being "too public" and talking to the press too much, but one reason they both wound up doing that is because they felt the need to defend themselves against lies and insults that were "leaked" to the press from the BRF.

An interesting thing about this whole situation is that there is none of that. Catherine is being defended and protected by the family. No leaks. It's interesting given their history.

Kate had a tummy tuck.

This was the initial speculation, but she was already thin. Look at the December 2023 photos of her.

She could still have loose skin, or pelvic floor issues, or need diastasis repair. She’s thin and looks good in clothes but that could be shapewear doing the heavy lifting, especially after 3 kids.

I think she did have a medical issue of some sort but the Palace misread the current tone of society right now. Everyone on here is like, why isn’t she just honest about what happened, no one would judge. Well 1, they probably would. “Omg I had that surgery 3 years ago and I was 100% back at work in a week!!!!111” 2, the BRF isn’t big on explanations and the Queen, herself, basically disappeared during her pregnancies so there would be no unflattering pictures of her. 3, I don’t think they’ve fully realized that people are more forthcoming about their health issues these days and when they cover it up, it usually creates more of a scandal and speculation.

However if it’s true that the King’s health is worse than thought, then maybe they’re creating a scandal with Kate deliberately in order to distract.

Its called a post pregnancy / birth "mommy makeover" surgery.

They are really inexplicably shooting themselves in the foot by just not disclosing what the medical issue is. Is it really that bad?

KP said she'd need months and months of recovery (so, no, nothing simple) and Will would pull back his schedule too. They've invited the scrutiny by being terrible at their jobs.

Is an appendix burst, it isn’t simple at all, it can be extremely complicated. First you can become septic. It means on open belly operation, sometimes they have to remove parts of intestines or other organs involved, it can be very hard to wash out and they sometimes have to leave belly open for an extended time. Even once closed, it could mean IV/central line nutrition for an extended time if there was bowel involvement, weeks of IV antibiotic therapy.

A burst appendix is not a “planned” surgery. It is a life threatening emergency. Not what happened here

yes, orchestrated by trump's people to get his trials and Katie Britt out of the news cycle.

Now you're really losing it.
