We likely have at least 2 more weeks before we get anything new to talk about depending on if Kate is able to attend Easter events.

This!

You two are responsible for 1/3 of the posts here. When are you going to realize that you're responsible for a large share of this thread's length?

lol really. they don't want people on this thread so they remedy is to keep bumping it to the top. We are not going to stop talking about it 😭

No statements from the Middletons (uncle Gary doesn’t count), none from any of William’s relatives either.

I don’t believe in the outside baby/hoing Wills and Rose/Wills beats the living sh!t out of Kate fantasies enjoyed by the beautiful people here, so I assume William likes Kate enough to have made very clear to stupid Harry that making public comments about anyone in William’s family won’t work well for Harry. He is an unusually cruel in-law to Kate, and normal adults would find a lot of his antics unforgivable.

1) Kate is recovering from a serious abdominal surgery. KP wouldn't have announced such unglamorous news were it not the case. If they wanted an excuse for Kate being out of the public eye, they could've concocted something else.

2) Kate's condition may or may not be related to an ED. But there's no evidence that she's ever had a drinking problem!

3) Years ago, I believed the rumors that William had an affair with Rose. But after Pippa named her daughter Rose, this seems doubtful.

4) KP is not "soft launching" Rose. The reason The Independent ran the feature on Rose is because people are curious about her given the explosion of interest in William and Kate's marriage. Even if William and Rose were having an affair, I seriously doubt they would think now, while Kate is ill, is a good time to gin up some favorable press in William's mistress.

5) The photo of William and Kate in the car was exactly that. After the fiasco over the altered photo, do you really think KP would pull a stunt by having Pippa sit in for Kate in the "proof of life" photo?! Kate is almost certainly looking away from the camera because she is unwell and doesn't want to be photographed, which we already know.

6) KP said from the beginning that Kate would be off until sometime after Easter. So this is not unexpected.

7) The part that is peculiar is KP has not released any credible recent photos of Kate during her recovery, such as the obligatory "looking at well-wishers' cards" photo. This obviously indicates that Kate is feeling quite unwell, likely both physically and mentally.

8) But it does not suggest that Kate was in a coma! Just because Kate has a Spanish nanny doesn't mean that the Spanish reporter is correct. (Hey, I have British family and that doesn't make me an insider.) That reporter has written that Michael Jackson and Princess Diana were murdered...

TL;DR - We haven't seen Kate because she's feeling unwell, likely both mentally and physically. But some of the conspiracy theories are nutty.

Do you have a cite for that? I thought that was actually quite a recent development.

Yes. Official KP statement from Jan. 17. (I follow this stuff.)

Cool. I am actually reassured by that. It's less haphazard a progression than I thought.

It; 's a very good and clear statement. I just don't know where Or why it went off the rails. Like really off the rails, and it happened well before the picture gate.

Like how did this happen?

It happened because KP started responding to gossip (the coma thing). I really don’t understand why they did that.

I don’t understand that, either. But it definitely got everybody’s spidey senses tingling, and then they went on to release the fake photo, and it’s snowballed from there.

For me it was when William gave "personal matter" as a reason why he missed his godfathers memorial service. It had been just over a month since Kate's surgery and people were like "What? What's going on? Is Kate Okay?" If he had said something like due to flu he had to cancel last minutes, people wouldn't have reacted that much. There was a thread here at that time too.

+1

It was also weird that they felt the need to preemptively say he wasn’t missing the service because of the Kingston suicide. Nobody asked? I don’t think Kingston’s death has anything to do with whatever Kate is dealing with, but it added to the weirdness.

yup completely agree

They're exaggerated what Witchell said about succession as if it's for Rose kid lol. I think it's more to do with a just in case dealing with Charles cancer.

Kind of? Witchell did say Charles was working on succession plans but they're making it into a joke.

Well what did he say?
There’s no “just in case” needed for Charles’ cancer unless something has changed in the line of succession. If Charles croaked right now it’s a very clearly defined line.
Of course it doesn’t mean it has anything to do with Rose, but it’s certainly not nothing if that quote is accurate!

Can one of the royal watchers explain to me why Charles is making succession plans? I thought that was all totally spelled out already

Why are people so certain that there are no marriage troubles? Marriage tension is incredibly common, particularly with kids that age, and the royal family is currently going through big transitions. And Kate has a big medical issue. It would be weird if there *weren’t* marriage troubles.

Their kids are at easy ages.

Marriage tension related to kids is typical newborns/babies and older teens/empty nest.

Maybe William as Regent if Charles needs to step back (but not abdicate) from his duties temporarily?

Like George IV when George III became incapacitated.

That would make sense.
