She was too thin to even have a tummy. Not a tummy tuck.

This makes no sense because even if you believe Kate wanted a tummy tuck, it's a planned procedure that they could probably mostly hide from the public if timed correctly. They'd schedule it to overlap with a school break when the family would likely be on vacation anyway, they'd release a photo of her at an event right before she had it done (not announce a surgery three weeks after she was last publicly seen, stirring up suspicion from the start), and they'd likely arrange for "vacation photos" to be taken that obscure the fact of the procedure to throw people off the scent.

It's not a tummy tuck or any other cosmetic procedure. Setting aside whether Kate "needs" cosmetic surgery, it's just a crazy theory because that's something you can arrange in advance and would not draw attention to in the way that this has drawn attention.

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.
But Catherine’s illness predates Charles’.

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.


I think people are mostly fine with Charles now. He is mild, though a little snippy now and then. He seems genuinely happy with Camilla and people love to see love. I think people could adjust to them divorcing as long as they keep things amicable for the kids and I think people would adjust to them both re-marrying if they seem genuinely helpful. Sure people would hate rose for a while, but with the right PR and advice it would fade. What they hate is lies and deception. Also, Kate should be given enough leeway to admit the scrutiny was too much, the marriage was strained and there were affairs (if there were), but she should not throw him completely under the bus. She should show there is still friendship. She also should take the high road with Harry and Megan and say something like "I was hurt by some of the things said and our recollections are different, but I wish them well in their new life."

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.

Yes except I’m not so sure that the public will forgive and forget.

Nope. This is a post QEII public. They don’t sit by and accept the crumbs. If you think otherwise, you’re with the grandma generation. Not saying you’re bad, just saying you’re out of touch

The way people are married to this divorce narrative is crazy. William and Kate are the last people on earth I would imagine divorcing.

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.


All true.

True. I also do not believe that as king he could not divorce. Not optimal, but look at Henry VIII for example. Where there is a will there is a way, pun intended.

+1 but I doubt anyone would fault them if they did, or even hate Rose. If he married Rose, people would still be up for the fanfare of a new marriage.

I know several women who had tummy tucks—including super skinny women. They either didn’t like their post-baby tummy OR they had issues with muscles, hernias, etc.

If she had gastro issues before, they tend to flare up post-surgery. And sometimes new issues develop.

She’s struggling physically.

They aren’t divorcing.

He’s committed to having a stable family. He picked a partner who could go the distance, and her parents are involved grandparents.

I don't either. At a minimum I think they need each other too much. I also think William wouldn't want his kids to have to deal with a divorce at a young age.

The only way I see the public really being annoyed by a divorce is if it were to get messy and he took to trashing Kate in the press.

Lately he always has this look on his face. Can't read what it is actually is. Anger? Guilt? Anxiety? It's striking.


I always get controlled anger vibes..creeps me out.


Same! I've gotten that vibe ever sense he was young.


I think he looks like an exact cross between Diana and Prince Phillip. My impression of both of them is that they both had real tempers, so doesn’t surprise me that he does as well (although I don’t believe the accusations that he hits Kate, I would buy the yelling of throwing stuff rumors.). I think that’s actually part of the reason that some people are saying he has some BDE — it’s the simmering emotions that he is trying to keep a lid on.

Charles strikes me as just incredibly awkward more than an explosive temper type. More just irritable.

But of course I don’t know any of them! That’s just from body language and reading the press.


Agreed!

Charles is wimpy whiner who has mellowed with age. To his credit, he’s always understood his duty to the monarchy and it’s a miracle he’s as well adjusted as he is given his upbringing. Simply put: he wasn’t raised in a loving environment.

William isn’t a wimpy whiner. Quite the opposite: he’s strong willed and duty-bound to a life of service. He gets that from his grandparents. He knows he needs to get the job done. He experienced glimmers of hope and joy with his mother. She gave her kids a taste of what freedom and fun are…and what parental love is. He knows firsthand that divorce would mean separating the kids from their mother, and I doubt he would ever do that.

The idea that William wants to divorce Kate because he wuuuuvs Rose is ridiculous. Leaving aside whether there is an actual affair there or not, let’s say it’s true for the sake of argument. That just is not how it’s done in that circle. You stay married to your spouse and keep it discreet. Charles would have stayed married to Diana if she had been more stable and the Queen hadn’t told them to finally end it. Kate is the ultimate NOT Diana. She knows her role. William and Rose know their roles. Kate wants to be queen, and William has the perfect person there for it. If Rose was making noises about wanting to go public, William would throw her aside without thinking about it.

Kate is ill, she wasn’t in a state to put out the usual Mother’s Day picture, and the palace did stupid things.

I lean toward ED and complications stemming from that.

But whatever it is, the way KP threw Kate under the bus with that apology is completely unacceptable.
