If a couple weeks after that, I received an "update" on Jane featuring a heavily photoshopped picture of her with her children, where her children were wearing clothes almost identical to my coworkers Christmas card from last year except for some changes that looked clearly faked via editing, and accompanied by an explanation that this photo had been taken days before by her husband, I'd be on Slack with my colleagues unpacking the whole thing and struggling to get work done because, uh, this is getting very strange.

If Jane then sent a follow up email stating that sometimes she gets overzealous with photoshop and apologizing for any controversy, but no other information, I'd continue to scratch my head and I feel certain my colleagues and I would be combing over these missives trying to figure out if there is some kind of hidden plea for help in them.

If the next day Jane's cousin posted a photo of Jane and her husband to Facebook, only the husband was fully visible and Jane was turned almost completely away from the camera staring at a brick wall, I'd immediately text my colleagues with "WFT is going on, should be be doing something to help Jane."

If a week later our boss came into the office and was like "oh you guys don't worry, I saw Jane and her husband at Foxtrot on Sunday buying specialty jams, she seemed fine," I'd say "I will believe Jane is fine when I see her thanks, but also what kind of jam, I love jam."

I mean, if you want it to be a real analogy.

This post is not normal.

Yes, the normal thing to do is to post 300 times that people need to please stop talking about the Princess of Wales on a thread about the Princess of Wales, when you could also just... not.

+1 She’s a (tax-funded) public figure. It’s not unreasonable for people to discuss what’s going on. Just exit the thread if it disturbs you so. GMAFB already.

We're discussing what's going on, just like you.

I don't think about my coworkers that much or follow them on Facebook. But, you do you.

Oh, that's so sad for you! i really like most of my coworkers and care very much for their health and happiness.

Well aren’t you just above it all?


I actually like my coworkers. I’d be worried if they were MIA for sure.

But normal people keep it to themselves. They don't fill in the gaps with insane theories and obsess about it.

What? “Normal” people keep it to themselves? Nope. “Normal” people are curious by nature and discuss things with friends. The people who never talk are the weirdos.

And it's just really intriguing. It's like watching the show Succession, especially considering everything that has happened with Harry in the last few years, and everything The Crown revealed. I guess it's feels like the next season of The Crown. It's all deeply fascinating. I'm not a "royalist", I think it's absurd that England has never had a revolution and ousted these people, and my parents also immigrated from a former British colony (that was absolutely gutted by the monarchy). So of course I'm going to pay attention. And this thread is pretty good!

DP. That post was very normal, and a great analogy. PP was trying to use the analogy to get through to you guys that what's going on is not normal.

You have no response, so you call her "not normal." That's pretty shoddy behavior on your part.

Yes, exactly. I would contend that the public doesn’t specifically need to know the cause of medical leaves, but the public does need to know that its tax-supported agents are using public resources appropriately. With the palace’s repeated suspicious actions, it’s entirely appropriate to question what they’re up to.

Have you written to your Congress person yet to demand an investigation?

Dp. I didn’t write ✍️ but I phoned in but it went to voicemail. They didn’t pick up my call. I wanted to report busybodies of Bethesda for bullying the Princess

Your tax dollars are being misspent. Surely you deserve an answer.

For sure . If Jeff doesn’t do what I say, legislators should. My demands are important and should be enacted by everybody I request them too

And they can take time off. Time off for them includes not being photographed, as being photographed is part of their “job.”

They don’t have an essential government role, nor are they contracted to do a specific or minimum number of yearly appearances. It isn’t even clear what her duties really are. Unless she is breaking some contract by taking these months off, I don’t get the hang ups. Who cares?

Same here (except for the British colony part). I've never posted on a royals thread before, but this cloak and dagger stuff is intriguing. Also intriguing are the people who want a Disney princess so they rationalize skeletal, dream about sheets, and who think Kate is reading 375 pages of posts from a bunch of Bethesda moms, so they keep bumping the thread with more posts.

It's like people watching x3

I'm inclined to think Kate's recovering from surgery, she's put on 10 pounds from steroids or a much less restrictive diet, and she doesn't want to go out win public because she thinks she looks puffy. Then KP made an own goal and stirred everything up. The domestic abuse people are way out there, but I don't blame them as much as I blame the Disney princess people who set the expectations Kate is hiding from.

DP is insider code for the princess party. Where their stated mission is to have this thread locked (well they say “deleted”). And they do this by gaslight and duplicity and foul language.

No. That's only for you. I post dp and enjoy the speculating with known factors like William is abusive and Kate is thinner than everyone (save Rose maybe).

[Anonymous]

The palace keeps digging this hole further with all of these fake photos and “spottings” of Kate being “happy and healthy.”

I follow the royal family out of intrigue for their glamour, but as an American, I’m thankful that my tax dollars don’t fund this utter nonsense and gaslighting. The royal family is a bunch of ribbon cutters. They are either essential to the governmental framework of the UK- in which case the deception and cover ups the palace is involved is in unacceptable - or they are not, and are private citizens, in which case, they need to be cut loose from this nonsensical life of leisure funded by the taxpayers.
