Kate's New Picture

I wondered about something similar. Kate’s primary value to the monarchy has been her ability to give birth to future monarchs, and, secondarily, to represent the monarchy in an appropriately positive, photogenic way. Given that, something like a hysterectomy might have been especially traumatic to someone in her position— IF something similar were to happen.

She has three kids already. Not that it wouldn’t have been traumatic but in this day and age I don’t think she was expected to have more.

Even if they had simply said “surgery due to complications from Crohn’s disease etc etc, is non life threatening blah blah”. The whole thing was mismanaged from the start.

To have outed herself with Crohn's would have meant (sadly) a future of people speculating about her bowels, her stomach and her wellness for the rest of her entire life. Peoole would be looking for the outline of a bag at all public functions for the rest of her life.. What person on a global stage wants to have people speculate about the condition of their bowels. Really.

As a person who knows all too well about colonoscopies, colectomies and colostomies, I wish bowel/colon issues would get the "breast cancer" normalization treatment -- but I'd never ask that of anyone. Charles deserves a shout out being open to say "prostate" as that will affect most men as they age! Although his disclosure seemed to highlight Kate's lack of disclosure (beyond "abdominal surgery").

Hysterectomy would be NBD now that she has had three kids! She produced heirs. She did it. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if they were done having kids.

Guys - dig into British media

Read that:
- Kate and William don't live together.
- She lives in Windsor close to her parents. - He lives in KP and Amner Hall (who lives close to Amner? Rose…. whose husband is reportedly gay)…

Just looked Rose up. I don’t know that I believe the affair. I mean, he could have just married her if he loved her, she is an aristocrat and would have likely been suitable wife. BUT…poor Rose. Her husband is so old. Why?? What was she thinking. She is 39 and he is 64!

Some of us think that Rocksavage is pretty dishy. And I would BY FAR prefer Rose’s life — at least what I know about it, or Pippa’s to Kate’s. Check out her Instagram for Houghton Hall if you haven’t already. As to William, multiple aristocratic women turned him down, although I’ve no idea if Rose was one of them.

+1 on Rocksavage being dishy. But he was apparently really commitment shy, serially dating a string of women. He was with Rose for 6 years before she had an oopsie pregnancy.

I hope she’s still alive

Yes..and for a very contained, controlled, fit person to have a public, serious illness can be traumatic and difficult in a certain kind of way.

Or a private serious illness. A serious medical issue can be Life altering and can change one's sense of self.

Her sister also married a much older titled guy. Wanting titles and wealth running the family.

Pippa is 40 and her husband is 48.

The Middleton women met rich men because they were from a family that had become rich. Both women married former friends, not the first random rich dude who would have them. Believe me, they had options.

I’ll debunk your pregnancy theory. Not possible. IF she were pregnant, she’d be having an ultrasound to confirm very early on and a tubal pregnancy would have been detected well before it grew large enough to rupture a tube.

Maybe...maybe she miscarried, maybe a degenerating fibroid, or it was very very early, ie. pre ultrasound. Certainly lots of scenarios present the possibility of a gynecological emergency that then could have triggered bigger problems like infection or sepsis.

Yes, I thought this was obvious when someone marries a much older man with a title. Rose is only distantly related to peerage by birth, and her dad was a website designer and her mom a fashion manager. Now, one of her children is an Earl, and the other two go by Lord and Lady.

I think the optics of her and William getting a divorce and marrying each other are a little too much for even the royal family but I think that if she could, she would. Of course I am also not sure about the affair; I wouldn't be surprised either way.

One of them said this:

"I mean, really, the Kate Middleton thing is about the royal family having power without accountability, and their relationship with a subservient press that would rather keep on their good side instead of telling the truth."

Which is spot on.

Notice how the mothers day picture has not been replaced by a real one. If nothing was wrong, this would be the easiest speculation to kill.

I wonder if the info and lack of info set up dueling opinions between BP and KP.

I don't think there is one serious illness out there that would line up with the royal family's story. I don't doubt that there was/is a medical issue but there has got to be something else going on. Especially after Kate took responsibility for releasing a photoshopped image to the press, wtf she did not have to bear full responsibility for that.
