Story broken by the Sun. Thats like quoting the National Inquirer.

Uh huh.

So now multiple news outlets are posting a fake story?

Unlikely.

Sounds like she will be back making public appearances very soon. Time to get a life, my dear!

But because of the insane faked photo with the lies about when it was taken, people are either going to think it's a lie or think it's a planted story to distract from something worse going on, maybe with Charles.

No, most people aren't that cynical...

I think most people will think "that's nice" and move on with their day.

The sugars are trying to fan the dying embers of their outlandish theories.

I can’t say I’ve ever read a headline from The Sun and thought “that’s nice” without questioning it. In this case I expected there to be a photo but nope.

And honestly, it’s the tabloids trying to keep this alive. “The sugars” aren’t the ones making money off the BRF or MM.

They’re all citing The Sun as their source. It’s not like they all talked to the same person at the garden center.

The chief editor Richard Eden of DM is a friend of the Middleton family (namely Carole Middleton , Kates wayward uncle Gary , and Kates brother) .

The DM is part of the royal rota (network of tabloids on speed dial from the palace). Anything you hear on DM is because some royal or zealous staffer or insider relative wanted you to hear it.

These stories of Kate and Will being spotted while the DM cleverly uses old photographs is because the palace wanted this out to quell the rumors.

Obviously.

But it seems she is on the mend and will be back soon if they were at a farm stand and watching the kids do sports. Good news to all normal people!

William cancelling engagements because he is taking kids daily on the “school run” was also a lie. No photos spotted of blacked out vehicles /convoys on the route to school dropoff or pickup.

They are only causing more suspicion with these fake stories

They quoted someone at the shop. Sorry, Kate was actually there.

The whole thing is just weird. I think it is likely true. But then why that in touch article that says people would be shocked by her appearance or why the need for a doctored photo or turning away in the car shot?

She is not Queen yet so this is her last chance to do such a thing, most likely.

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.

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.

We have no idea what happened. It's been a week. Bickering over fan fic scenarios at this point is more than repetitive.

I wrote that. Lots of us work in senior positions for well-known companies, and this is HR 101/crisis management 101.

Insulting anyone who disagrees with you is a bad look.

But you are apparently coming from an incorrect perspective. So your experience is steering you (and others) wrong.

What? Are you saying that KP, Kate, and William are all either incredibly naive, incredibly incompetent, incredibly dumb, incredibly hubristic, or all of these? And I use the word “incredibly” because it’s not credible.

No, your perspective seems to be that a PR staff exists to both bolster their principal and to take the blame for mistakes. But KP is known to be extremely protective of their staff and to allow no blame towards them. Also, their reputation is built over time, by rising above problems, so they don't need to blame someone for every mistake. They just need to carry on.

Your perspective seems to be short term and focused on a different way of operating.

No, the long-term perspective is to protect the future Queen. I don’t know how you could think otherwise.

Especially when they don’t even need to name an individual staffer. It would be so easy to protect both an individual staffer and the future Queen at the same time.

Your perspective seems to be that KP staff are more important than the people who run KP and may soon run the country—Kate and Wills. I couldn’t disagree more.

There is a new anime/manga out right now. In the latest episode, they talked about noblesse oblige. It's still an important idea.

This isn’t about noblesse oblige. You seem to think either KP or Kate had to take the fall. That’s manifestly not true.

They could easily have protected Kate and the staffer at the same time, by keeping the staffer anonymous.

They chose not to. Why?

Were the kids doing sports alone? Otherwise, I’m sure other bored soccer moms would’ve absolutely whipped out the camera phone to get a money shot .

William is such a bad liar. He should give up this whole charade while he still can

Their school circles don't work that way and there is an agreement not to publish. Find another published snap of the kids doing sports. Any time.

If she was able to go to the shop a mile from her house for a couple minutes, she may be "healthy" in that she is out of bed - but not recovered. Not surprised she wasn't ready for pictures yet.

Exactly. She is not doing "public" appearances yet, thus photos won't be published.

If she is seen outside church on Easter there will be video.

This is still following the celebrity couple trajectory… rumors of a split.. followed by confirmation that they are happy and recently seen together..

Nick and Jessica anyone? Angie and Brad?

Except there were no rumors of a split so your trajectory is missing the first data point.

They are a business more than a celebrity couple.

It’s reported Kate’s 5’9” and 120lbs. Does that sound about right (pre surgery, of course)?

Agreed. They threw her under the bus.

And William is trying to throw Camilla , the stepmother he always hated, under the bus too. I guess they can’t use Megan anymore . All roads lead to William . It’s his mistake

Such BS. There is nothing at all about that in the news - in fact, quite the opposite. Nice try.

And the conversation was going so civilly… until you came along with some gossip sheets and your usual insults.

Riiiight... continuing to lie about everything is so very civil! Spreading malicious rumors, like the bolded, is really mature and again - so civil! Sorry you're upset about being called out for lying.
