Why?

Makes no sense. Royals divorce. Charles himself is divorced.

And William would be actively destroying the monarchy if he does this. After the queen died, it’s struggling, and the only members people really like are kate and the kids. If William divorces Kate and marries someone else right now, people are going to hate him. Remember how hated Charles was when leaving Diana? People STILL don’t like Charles because of that and it was like 30 years ago.

Because the king is the defender of the faith. Charles divorced when he was a prince not a king. And even then he didn't remarry in an Anglican church. He remarried at the registry office at Windsor and had a church blessing. Princess Anne remarried in a Church of Scotland venue I believe.

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.

Substack is not a source. Substack is a platform that anyone can publish content on, similar to Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress, so they question is, who is the author of the substack content, and are they credible? Probably not likely....

My son texted me this from one of his feeds. I thought it was funny and probably why so many are interested.

The King of England lies dying and one of his sons has been exiled. A princess has vanished.
Plague stalks the land and the Treasury has been plundered.
NOW is the time for strange women lying in ponds to distribute swords to form the basis of government.

Yeah, I don't think the divorce itself is a big deal.

It's just that people so badly want a Diana & Charles part 2 and they want William to pay for the "sins" of his father for some reason.

Weird take…makes no sense to me but you are entitled to your opinion.

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.

Well-said. I think that the multiple unforced errors and missteps feel destabilizing — because we don’t understand why this is being played out by the BRF as “ a confusing situation to navigate “. And then people like me, who only paid attention to the BRF for the occasional pageants and the pretty clothes start wondering at the apparent duplicity, and looking a little bit closer.

Exactly. There is a helluva a lot of smoke blowing around here, and it can't all be from a cigarette. Where's the fire?

What else do they need to explain besides what they have already given explanations for? I think there are serious problems with their stories and something in addition to the health problem is going on, but a lot of people buy the explanations they have already given in terms of her whereabouts and the photoshop. I don’t know why they would go back on those stories and I don’t know what else they absolutely need to explain.

At this point, directly or indirectly, they need to explain why their explanations have been so bad. They’re taking in enormous amounts of tax dollars, have supposedly competent paid staff, yet they’re blurting out information: “It’s not cancer” / “It’s not connected to the sudden death of a family member that’s not yet been deemed suicide”… that raises multiple questions while answering none. The three doctored or unclear pictures that may or may not definitely be of Kate only made things massively worse. Why all the obfuscation? deserves an explanation — if they want to avoid fallout.

Maybe it’s as simple as William doesn’t really want to be an actual monarch — and is acting out his fears. Charles, in contrast, is handling his communications extremely well. William’s keep getting worse and worse — for no clear reason.

I am probably in the minority but I’m worried about William (as well as Kate). William probably assumed he’d be king when he was 60ish, not 42. Now, within a few months, his father has cancer, his wife is either sick or playing hardball with him over his affairs, his affair (whether true or not) is being played out in the media, he has 3 young kids one of whom seems to be quite a handful, he is estranged from his brother…. And people are like “why does he look so stressed and angry recently?” Like man, this dude has a lot of stress right now! For someone who has seemingly been living a pretty cushy life of leisure for his adult life (after what seems like a pretty traumatizing childhood)

Yup. I'm sure all that childhood trauma has come rushing back.

Because Rose duh!!!

Isn’t she also “still” married? When does William toss the other husband into the Tower of London?

Maybe. If they had simply posted it on their Instagram, which most of us don’t follow, a few people would have thought it was cute, maybe noticed some oddities, and would have been satisfied to leave it at that until after Easter. The problem was releasing it as “news”. And maybe the bigger problem is the combination of arrogance and stupidity behind releasing it as “news”. And the even stickier problem is that they’re attracting a LOT of attention for the wrong reasons without reassuring anybody who might be genuinely concerned about Kate’s well-being.

Yes. Kate specifically knows how deeply the fashion blogs and pages go into what she wears and what the children wear. It would be easy for them to identify the clothing and immediately know the items were never sold in those shades.

That is what I think leans me against the idea that Kate edited it. I lean toward it being William or a male member of the PR team. They may not realize the extent to which her wardrobe is analyzed and the children’s wardrobes, and reported in multiple publications and venues.

Good points!

You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you

Nurse thinks Kate had a tummy tuck that is now giving her problems because she knows many women who ended up with issues from tummy tucks. I just don't see her ever even needing something like that despite having 3 kids.

Royal divorces are tricky.

Why?

Charles' illness pushed William to a decision point. If he's unhappy in the marriage, he needs to divorce before he is king. He won't be able to divorce her after he is king because he is the head of the Church of England. Charles was able to divorce Diana because he wasn't king yet. He wasn't able to remarry within the church, though. Queen Elizabeth II didn't even attend Charles' second wedding because it conflicted with her role as head of the Church of England.

William and Catherine have been bumping along in an unhappy marriage, but not making a decision. Now Charles is dying, and they need to decide to stay or go. It's their last chance to make that decision.

She doesn't have a tummy to tuck.
