DP. Nah, that PP wasn't wrong. And while William and Charles resemble each other in that they are related, that's about it. Beyond that, they are very different. |
Agree. The story has run its course. |
Not dying down |
I agree with you, but they were already behaving as though they were panicked before the photo. I remember on one of the threads that got shut down, discussing how odd it was that they responded to that coma rumors (which had ZERO substantiation and was just making rounds on twitter, but was not taken seriously by any credible news organization) and then again when William pulled out of that memorial last minute. And also the "clarifications" they issued on both the announcement of Kate's and Charles's illnesses (that Kate did not have cancer, and that Charles had a cancer they didn't reveal BUT it wasn't prostate cancer). It was just out of character and seemed to reflect a lack of control or sense of overwhelm (which is not usually the vibe one get's from the BRF, even when really difficult things are happening, like the Queen's death). The last time the BRF seemed this panicked was Diana's death, and in that case it was much more straightforward -- how should the family, and the Queen in particular, respond to the death of someone who married the heir and was mother to another heir but then divorced? It was unprecedented and they got criticism but also many people understood it was a confusing situation to navigate. This is different because whatever it is they are struggling with, we don't know. But they are definitely struggling. |
Lately he always has this look on his face. Can't read what it is actually is. Anger? Guilt? Anxiety? It's striking. |
Of course it is. The loudest voices demanding proof of life have not been caved into so they will soon move if they haven't already. People have the attention span of gnats these days, particular the social media agitators who were fanning the flames on this. |
If we say it often enough, maybe we can make it come true. |
“What if my dad dies and my wife is unwell”? Maybe? I mean it’s not a big stretch. |
Dog chasing the car finally catches it? |
I think the whole thing will just ramp up again either when Kate is next seen or on Easter if she is not seen then (even though I know the palace said "after Easter" -- it's clear a lot of people didn't read it that closely and think she's going to appear at church or in some other public event.
If she doesn't, I think the intensity might even ramp up. I also think when she is finally seen, her appearance is going to be picked apart like never before. I also think Kensington Palace has done lasting damage to its relationship with some publications. The public will move on and stop caring, but reporters and editors will not. |

Or maybe “What if my dad dies and my wife is unwell” plus anger, guilt, or other additional anxiety. Not everything can be minimized by overdoing the hyperbole, PP. |
You think people are going to rehash the same theories with no new information for weeks? Ok. |

That looks like stress and deep thought. Other than his mother dying, he really hadn’t ever had tough things. This is a difficult time regardless of the cause. His dad is sick, something is going on with his wife, he’s about to become King- that is a responsibility something he’s never really had, guilt…. |
