I actually don't think Harry will divorce Meghan either same situation as will. I do think unlike Kate Meghan would divorce Harry if she began to see him as more of a liability.

I think both brothers are desperate to avoid being compared to their father in terms of relationships.


What I think is happening with Kate is it's something medical, and something they aren't comfortable discussing publically now if ever, that might be for the protection of the children so as not to worry them. I think whatever it is has a long recovery, but I also think there have been some hiccups along the way that is prolonging recovery.

I also suspect Charles may be a bit worse than has been said.

I’ve said the same thing multiple times on this thread and no one cares. Crazies are crazy. Poor Charles, I do think it’s worse that they’re letting on.

I’m much more interested in talking about what will happen next, and how Camilla is holding on to power with a dead tight grip.

I think that's why things seem to be a bit chaotic in what's being shared with the public. Trying to manage a situation where 2 people are not as well as hoped, plus a vicious public is not a PR job I would envy.

Camilla doesn't have any real power. Yeah she finally married Charles, but she didn't produce his heirs, she's nothing more than a footnote in history.

No expert just utilizing Dr. Google. Yes it appears an additional surgery would be required. It also seems that even without a colectomy, certain types of bowel issues have to be treated in multiple surgeries.

One theory she shared (based on her own experience covering the royal beat) is that she thinks the palace promised the mothers Day photo to get UK publications to agree not to publish the photo of Carole Middleton with someone who looks kind of like Kate (I think it's Pippa). This makes some sense to me as that might be why the palace felt pressure to produce a "recent" photo. And it tracks with the decision to plan that paparazzi photo on Monday (when it became clear the MD photo was not a recent photo).

But the part that doesn't make sense to me is why they'd be so desperate to keep that photo with Carole out of UK papers, especially when it was published by tons of non-UK pubs. I just don't get why that would be worth doctoring a photo and lying about it.

Because it’s possible that whomever took the photo knows the actual location of where they are going or coming from and releasing that information would be a tell on something like a divorce and separated living.

If the children are moved and attending school from a different residence than the usual, the paps know and releasing that photo blows the cover on the imho impending divorce.

If she’s day to day living at the parents home and that where the paps see her and the mom or kids entering and exiting, it proves the Windsor photo was setup with her head looking out the window.

That photo opens up more trouble once the location is tracked down to where they were truly coming or going from basically!

I’ll add that also could open a can of worms if it was to/from a visit to ED clinic with Pippa to visit Kate, etc

My cents on the photo is that it very well may have been a look-alike in the car to help throw off unscrupulous paps from finding out where Kate might be recovering. KP actually releasing the photo as you said would have opened all sorts of problems. Going with this think they released the edited photo after seeing the response to the pap pic thinking it would help .

I tend to believe this is all medical. My kid just went through a series of medical issues starting in December, and it's like the entire world stands still. Also, my kid was very self conscious because she'd been pumped full of IVs and steroids, causing her to have a 15 lbs weight fluctuation (which went away after the final surgery). So my kid was basically bloated and exhausted and lethargic, but also really aware of that so she didn't want to leave her bedroom much in between hospital stays. And people understand surgery, but they don't really understand all the issues that surround it and how that can impact your life. So I tend to believe she's encountered a health issue that has been at least somewhat complicated, and that she's likely self conscious about it and also not in a mental condition to be super strategic about the communication to the public.

Eh. I think people who want out of a marriage are not rational. Like from the outside it’s like “oh of course he wouldn’t want to be compared to his dad” whereas he may just see “well my dad was able to move on and rehab the other woman’s image so why can’t I?” I don’t think William or Harry have the role models or relationship skills to not end up divorced like 75% of the generation before them. But I think it ends with William leaving and Harry getting left.

DP. Rumor had it that Rose’s hubby was gay and the marriage was for the pregnancy

Rose first had twin sons with her husband. They were born soon after the marriage. The daughter came a few years later, and is William’s.

Did you perform a DNA test?

She's more than a footnote; the only divorced woman ever to marry a monarch and become Queen Consort.

Why would Pippa name her daughter Rose ?

I don’t think they would have to tell us if she had a second surgery? This or something like this seems like a likely scenario. But if that’s what’s happening, they’ve done a really poor job managing it. If they lied about when the Mother’s Day photo was taken, that makes the whole thing undeniably news.

Wallis only married after King Edward stepped down, so she married a former King and was never Queen Consort.

Sub stack and other sources reporting ileostomy with perforated bowel. I obviously don’t know if that is true, but that still tracks with any of the speculated ED/DV/Crohn’s, since there are many reasons for perforated bowel, including trauma to the abdomen, forceful vomiting, Crohns (to name a few — other GI issues could also cause it). Either way all of that sounds absolutely horrible no matter what the reason is.
