Kate had some sort of ... stomach surgery. Intestinal. Large, obviously. Maybe the colon was also involved, who knows. The whole surgery resulted in her needing a colostomy bag. Originally she was going to come back to work after Easter. But they are going to give her a second surgery to fix things inside so she'll no longer need a colostomy bag and that's why now she's off until June. A colostomy bag would explain why she's not being seen in public, why she used an old picture, etc.

Lest you think this isn't a thing, here's a video of someone who had it done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYR4c-zBCww

this actually sounds reasonable. and i undersatnd why she doesn't want the whole world to see her with a colostomy bag. despite what people think she is entitled to some privacy around medical issues.

This was reasonable until two weeks ago when the press and then the palace started releasing fake photos of her. Why didn’t they just stay silent?

And if they wanted to, they could easily release a flattering video of her that doesn’t show a colostomy bag. She seems completely inaccessible, either by choice or by circumstance. And the palace seems to be gaslighting the public. THAT is the problem.

no- the "fake photo" was a subtly photoshopped picture, just like ALL the pictures released by the palace, Megan and Harry and all your fave celebs. The media generally turns a blind eye to this. Why they decided that specific photo at that specific time needed to be "killed" is the real mystery. She IS inaccessebile because she clearly wants to be. I don't begrudge her wanting to recuperate in peace and neither should anyone with any sense of decency.

Did you say "subtly photoshopped" ? Here, read this: https://people.com/kate-middleton-mothers-day-photo-editing-errors-examined-proof-photoshop-found-metadata-8607951

Did you say "it's a mystery" why the photo was killed? Here, read this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIV817vWQAAJLnX?format=jpg&name=medium. And then read this: https://twitter.com/bbcrosatkins/status/1768304152407351591

DP adding Pete Souza's explanation too.

Subtly?! Subtly is editing your jawline or waist to be slimmer. Changing the color of your shirt, editing the colors on each child’s apparel, removing child bracelets and more is not subtle. Its extreme.

Don’t forget she was wearing skinny jeans after abdominal surgery. Obviously an old photo that was doctored

The idea behind using an old photo with her in skinny jeans gives dumb man. William is beyond his depths here and it shows.

one of the princess power puff girls routinely comes back with "oh, it's just a nice photo -everyone photoshops" - and she's trying to just throw the thread on a tangent. If there's one "fact" in all of this it's that the pic was a photoshop butcher job enough to get it booted from every news source. And, for extra credit, may be pointed to as the beginning of the end. We should really ignore this type of post, if we can.

Interesting. He distinguishes between "photoshopping" the color balance or saturation vs. "altering" a photo by, to use his example, adding people.

The only thing it's making me aware of is to be even more careful not to disclose any details about health or mental health so that people won't speculate.

Right!? Imagine, expecting your personal health issues to remain private. The nerve of her, not spelling out exactly what's going on to the idiots who demand to know. How dare she.

She's the future Queen of England. Stop acting like she is a private citizen.

You just want to know what's wrong with her so you can make peepee poopoo jokes or gossip about ED/mental health issues.

Civility please and thank you.

Ooh, touched a nerve? Sorry not sorry.

I hate the re-litigating of the MD pic. This has already been settled! (And may be the only thing that's settled.)

Is that the same hall monitor who has a meltdown over us “still talking about this” and not having the facts ? I hope they’re getting their typewriter dusted off to send a letter to CNN because I just saw a “where’s Kate” headline and panel of experts this morning

Not at all. Sorry. Discussing the photo is the only non-offensive topic on this appalling thread. You can smear whoever you want. We'll discuss the photo.

Try to be polite. Just try. Be helpful without throwing a nasty snide comment. It is possible.

Not on this thread, it's not.

For the love of God, you need to accept that she does have an ED.

Probably, but if I were her I would seek treatment privately and never admit to it. The people who speculate on it constantly are doing that because they are looking for a weakness not because they care about her health.

Yes, Anderson Cooper did a segment last night. One of the original princess warriors claimed to be home with her sick grandchildren. Never explained how she never left her keyboard since.

DP. When has anyone made poopoo or peepee jokes? When has anyone referenced feces or urine directly, other than you, come to think of it?

The call is coming from inside the house, lady.

Almost 50% of posts on this thread have gleefully discussed colostomy bags.

Own it.

+1. The princess power puff girls have on rotation:
- "oh, it's just a nice photo, everyone photoshops"
- "you hate Kate because she's beautiful and you're a fatso"
- "she's a perfect healthy weight"
- "it's Meghan and Harry's fault"
- "@#!@#!@!@#!@#" followed by "you're the rude ahole here, not me"

Best to ignore all of this derailment. Let the adults talk.

DH brought up Kate may be in California with Harry and Meg.

I didn’t think of that before but is there any chance of this ?
