Exactly. Of course they want her to get divorced but unfortunately for them that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Actually, if you follow along that thread, prevailing thought is that it’s going to be changing the line of succession or something to do with Charles.

I think their marriage is fine. I wouldn't be surprised if she came out and talked about this situation when she is feeling mentally and physically better.

I don't think she edited the photo but I do think she may have taken the blame willingly so as not to repeat the hospital worker suicide situation.

Kate wasn’t hovering over Adobe Photoshop to edit a picture and then Tweet an apology.

Signing off as C could only come from the top. The future king’s word is law and his orders must be followed. Throwing C under the bus was lowdown

A lot of people think that Kate doing the photoshopping and writing the apology is the most likely scenario. I don’t but yeah many do.

And a lot of people don't believe Kate did any of it and was straight thrown under the bus.

Which is not what a good husband does. Whether she stays with him or not, I actually pity her.

I was anti Harry before but he sure does seem like the better man. William is the petulant one and he’s going to be king sooner rather than later too

Anything is possible.

But it was all so unnecessary. There were so many other obvious ways to handle an incompetent staffer.

Announce to the world that "mistakes were made by staff" and don't name anybody. There, nobody will ever know the staffer's name. Sure, somebody could leak that staffer's name, but you can bet KP already knows the staffer's name and somebody could leak it today if they wanted to.

Then, either get the staffer training or move them laterally to some position where they don't have social media responsibilities. Done.

I will not venture a guess as to whether or not this is true, but IF it is true, it's really, really dumb. They are paying professionals a not-insignficiant amount of money to manage their public relations, specifically because for people this high profile, doing it yourself is overwhelming, often hurtful, and enormously time consuming. Not least because a non-professional (with zero objectivity because they are doing their own press) is prone to making mistakes that will only require more time and energy to fix.

Like if you the Prince and Princess of Wales, and you really value your privacy plus have a major personal matter that you need to focus on, then you pull in your trusted advisors (all of whom have signed NDAs and been heavily vetted to be in your inner circle) and tell them "this is what's going on, we want to not have to worry about the press, please handle it." And then they handle it and let you know what they might need from you, but also if they say "we need xyz" and you say "z is out of the question" then they are paid a handsome sum to figure out something else.

You don't go rogue and start trying to handle your own social media accounts. It's such a massive rookie mistake and frankly beneath people who have been in the public eye for this long at this level.

OK. I think it is kind of endearing. But then I don't have it out for them.

Agreed. They threw her under the bus.

Endearing? It's awful judgement.

Agree. Blaming staff is not not an admirable thing to do - and they didn't. Good on them.

Depends on your goals and priorities. Are W&K so fragile that they cannot admit a mistake? Or are they big enough that they can?

It was good judgment.

Yeah, this isn't a small time family business. It's terrible all around

+1. People sometimes have post op depression, and just need time to grapple with their reality before they talk about it beyond their immediate circle.

+2
I think the crowd who is insisting on status reports and/or pictures are the type to air all of their health/personal issues on social media and think people who don't do that are somehow the weird ones.
