Kate's New Picture

Or a video without any editing. There will be people who say it's fake but it will still dispell a bunch of rumors.

What she (Kate) wants isn’t what she gets. Tough life. It is 100% within her own power to make this all stop, so it’s time for her to step up. Easter is two weeks away, but she’s gonna need to come out in one way or another a mere 14 days early. Again, tough life.

It’s what she needs to do if they’d like to have any public love and credibility moving forward. Because I’m actually afraid these rumors are true, and that she’s in danger. She alone has the power to end the global crisis, so she ought to do it. (Unless she’s dead, in a coma, or being held against her will somewhere, KP!!!)

“Global crisis” 🙄

Speculation about the end of the British monarchy, William in prison for DV or murder, George ascending to the throne as a child… any of these would have large scale ramifications.

You are wildly out of control. Those theories are crazy, and so are you for doing your lowly part in propagating them while pretending you’re discussing Rafah.

DP. What’s wildly out of control is your identification and obsession with a princess in another country.

The speculation on this thread and elsewhere is out of control.

Sure, if I or somebody in my name issued weirdly doctored photos and claimed they were taken by William the previous week.

Charles is undergoing the exact same things, and he’s the actual king and has actual cancer, yet nobody is speculating wildly about him. Because he has been seen in a short video and Camilla has been photographed visiting him. Charles’ PR team handled it so much better. I haven’t seen any speculation about Charles, have you?

There has been a lot of speculation about Charles and abdication. Not at all what he wants people to be talking about.

That’s her camera? A point-and-shoot you can put in auto mode? It’s hardly the camera you’d expect from a Photoshop aficionado. Sure, point and shoot cameras can take decent pictures, but the type of people who are into photoshop hand replacements are also likely to care about the things a more sophisticated camera can produce. This just confirms my suspicion she didn’t do the photoshopping.

I think her most used one is a fujifilm X-T3. A higher end point and shoot.

Still. Yes, you can mess a little with exposure and speed on those cameras, but most don’t.

This, the speculation is out of control because they're being deceptive. Not just with the public but with media outlets too

No, they are always careful about their image. The speculation is out of control because of that Spanish "journalist" who said that Kate is/was in a coma. That's the crazy part.

That would make it worse.

I don't understand why they didn't just release the unedited photo that's really what makes it sketchy to me.

Agreed, the fact that they won't produce an unedited photo makes no sense if this were just an innocent mistake. The assumption is that the original photo would make it obvious that the photoshopping was not typical. Also, once people online figured out that the clothes really make it appear that this photo (or some original version of this photo) was actually from last year, they are probably afraid of confirming this suspicion because that will reveal that they outright lied by claiming to news agencies that it was taken last week.

It kind of feels like they are not being advised by a PR team at all. Because a PR team likely would not have approved the original release of the MD photo (they'd either suggest a more professionally edited photo that had less glaring errors, or an actual new photo staged to hide whatever it is they want to hide, or no photo at all). They definitely wouldn't have approved having a statement from "C" claiming this was all the result of her amateur photoshop oopsie. Now they either have to stick with their lies, which are transparent, or issue ANOTHER mea culpa that is actually believable. They've made such a huge mess and I really cannot tell if it's due to incompetence, or trying to cover up something really bad, or both.

I actually think she deserves privacy during her recovery, btw. But I actually think KP is working against that by making such a mess that it's only encouraging more speculation and interest. There was a way to do this so she had actual privacy (see, for instance, how Buckingham has handled the king's diagnosis, and used strategically released info and photos/videos to keep people from asking too many questions or being upset if they don't get answers). That's actually what professional PR teams do, to some extent -- shield their clients from prying questions and speculation by crafting a satisfying story for the public that can be packaged and sold. It is extremely weird to me that KP doesn't seem to understand that, or that William or Catherine or both or someone else were so hubristic as to think they didn't have to play that game.

Can you even take RAW shots with it? What you’d need for photoshop.

We deserve trump as president again. Morons everywhere.

Kate doesn’t like the unedited photo and doesn’t want to release it. This isn’t rocket science.

What I don't get is all celebrity photos are edited. Look at Kim Kardashian: she edits candids even so people can't see she has bad skin, so much so I've seen very very few pics of her real skin. So why is this a scandal now to have a woman release an edited pic?

I think someone (william) thinks he knows better and isn't listening to the staff or Kate.

But nothing like rampant speculation about a crisis abdication. More similar to the speculation QE2 would abdicate in Charles’ favor.

The speculation around Kate is much wilder and it’s self-inflicted because it involves actual deception.

She doesn't have to release it to the public but cam still send it to the agencies. Stop blaming this on Kate as if she's the issue.
