Royal Scandal 2024 - Wheres Kate Middleton? Fake Photos! Charles Abdication Imminent?

[Cherie]

Snipe is such Josy throwback, you need your own word Annie

we need to find Annie her own word that she can go bold on....

[user104658]

Please can everyone stay on topic and not snipe at each other. Thank you

On a Bwitish Woyalty thread? I'm afraid it seems highly unlikely...

[Ammi]

…one of the headlines actually says…’Kate spotted alive and well…’…so maybe some conspiracies have been speculating that she wasn’t alive….that’s very dark, tbh…and very scary for someone to read about themselves…

[AnnieK]

I'll think of a new word for next time :laugh:

[Ammi]

…just to say also though…the palace haven’t confirmed the Trooping of the Colour engagement in June…it’s the Ministry of Defence website that says that …

[Ammi]

That is Kate with her mother.



Can Admin please edit this stupid/wrong title

She is Now NOT Missing


TIBB in the Gutter
we do not want.

…and her Royal bodyguards/security team are where…?…we’re told that she’s been the subject of huge speculation and conspiracies and everyone is looking here and looking there for Kate, the future Queen of England, a most precious car passenger…the media/the public and every looney in between in desperation for a glance of her…and no security pictured at all…just a sole Kate and her sole mum …..that’s a bit shabby, isn’t it…

[Ammi]

…I don’t blame User for being a little bit hesitant of title changes until he knows for sure that Kate is safe and sound…

Long may she serve

The queen and prince Philip often drove alone on the royal estates

Windsor castle is on my doorstep my neighbour was an armed royal protection officer they are are constantly on patrols

[Vanessa]

Have you guys seen the picture of Kate that's going round on twitter?
That doesn't look like her at all. I know she's not well, but the facial features don't match.
Looks more like her sister Pippa? :suspect:

[UserSince2005]

People are saying it’s not her unless she’s had a lot of plastic surgery, her mole is gone.
Though if it is her people are ruling out the rumour that she had a BBL given she’s sat down in the car.

[bots]

all this comes from young people that have too much time on their hands. It reminds me of the chaos that was created when that woman jumped/fell into the river. The level of conspiracy was ridiculous. If she still doesn't appear after easter as planned, then questions can be legitimately asked. Anything before then is just people making trouble for their own morbid amusement

…I agree to an extent but I also think it’s inevitable that these speculations are going to happen in a social media world we live in…because Charles has been photographed whereas Kate hasn’t….I’m only stating what I’m reading, and the reasoning of it, not my own thoughts…but I can understand how this is ‘gaining legs’ also…

Charles is the top Royal though he has a duty to show his face, I dont think Kate has any obligation to do so especially as the Palace said she would not be back on public facing duties until 31st March, as BOTs says if she doesn't appear after that something is seriously amiss, Kate has the extra pressure of having her looks scrutinised to the nth degree, something Charles doesn't really have to worry about

..yeah that’s true also, that he’s the King…the big boss guy, as it were…but the younger royals…(…and hugely, the females like Diana, Meghan and Kate for instance…)…are the ones that gain the public interest because they’re hugely popular…’the people’s princesses’ if you like, so Kate is gaining that speculation so much more than Charles because of the nature of public popularity and populism, which is a huge part of today….i guess what I’m trying to say in reading what people are saying, is that I understand their reasoning and how I think the royal firm also has to realise that this was an inevitable thing….

[Ammi]

…the sovereign may rule the country, as it were…but the younger royals hugely rule the media and headlines and public opinions…

[Ammi]

…apart from Princess Margaret, she could hold her own headline grabbing with the young’uns….

[bots]

It's a world made up of conspiracy theories. In the past they didn't gain much traction without the internet, now they spread like wildfire. It's the modern day equivalent of gossip, which has always annoyed me :laugh:

But it is a UK Pressman that Sold it.

That is your ‘verification’

[Ammi]

…it’s also a world of mis information, I think…it’s a very layered world of many things…which is why I don’t think there is the simplicity of people/young or old, having too much time on their hands…it’s all become so messy and it’s about either spending time in filtering through that mess for ‘truth’ or just turning away completely and being equally as unknowing, you know…neither one an ideal in keeping up with any current affairs and finding that accuracy that isn’t trying to divide ….

[Ammi]

But it is a UK Pressman that Sold it.

That is your ‘verification’

…well, there isn’t a one size fits all verification, Arista…if we had one, there wouldn’t be the speculation …when photographs are rushed to get that scoop, though …there’s less time for verification is the thing…that’s not the focus, is it…as you wisely stated….dollars are the focus and being the first…

[Ammi]

…I for one, though, have got too much time on my hands this morning…and having a good old think about it and why the conspiracy theories are spiralling…and I do understand the reasoning for it…I don’t believe the theories, but I see why they’re happening, also…

[AnnieK]

The fact the UK media have not printed the picture has lent to the speculation that it is not Kate.

[Ammi]

The fact the UK media have not printed the picture has lent to the speculation that it is not Kate.

….I guess it’s damned if the Royal firm do comment and damned if they don’t and that’s just what it’s all become…it just is what it is and speculation will happen because it’s human nature…we may not all do it over this but we all do it…

[arista]

The fact the UK media have not printed the picture has lent to the speculation that it is not Kate.


Of Course but I can see why he sold the Photos
to the USA, then they are Published all around the World
Earning More Money.


No Paper in the UK wants to publish them.

Tragic

[Crimson Dynamo]

"Other trolls and conspiracy theorists have used her absence and the lawlessness of social media to spread deeply sinister and highly libellous claims.

Kensington Palace did not comment tonight but sources stressed these were
paparazzi pictures that were not authorised by the palace. "

I bet the press haven't checked the pizza express in wokingham, that's obviously where she will be

[Livia]

I really can't understand why people are SO desperate for something to be wrong. The palace said she won't be around till after Easter and they've said she will be at Trooping the Colour... I think the conspiracy theorists need a little excitement in their lives.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/let-their-words-do-the-talking/202106/why-people-gossip

Jokes aside - the research paper this article is based on (Peng et al. 2015) is very interesting. Not sure where it can be accessed for free but if you happen to have academic access to it somewhere well worth a read especially for anyone who frequents the 'net and social media...

[jet]

[Last week a spokesman re-iterated their advice that they were not going to provide a 'running commentary' on the princess' health, no matter how much they were provoked by nasty internet rumours.
'From our perspective, we were very clear from our statement at the start of this in January that the Princess of Wales planned to be out of public action until after Easter and that hasn't changed,' they said. 'We were always clear we wouldn't be providing updates when there wasn't anything new to share.]

Could anything be clearer? There is nothing whatsoever to gossip about. There seems to be excuses made that it is human nature to speculate, and that is true of certain humans I suppose; but for example there is a massive difference between a Royal asking for and needing privacy and rest after a serious operation and Royals who continually serve themselves up to social media and the press in their quest for attention and relevancy.
And it is no secret that admirers of those particular ‘Royals’ have a big part to play in those nasty internet rumours.

That's what it seems like, some people badly want something to go wrong. The celebrity watch crowd can be rather ghoulish. Especially people who follow Hollywood trainwrecks.

I miss some parts of using X, for example, like being able to search up small details (thanks, Elon) that do get leaked that are nothing like conspiracy theories. Just tidbits of information, for example, I had to dig through streams to see mentions of same information about a court case that could've probably been found much quicker using #hashtags or going through the replies of key accounts.

But then, I also value not being bombarded with cringe on a constant enough basis. At worst, I have access to fewer of the less important, but certainly juicy, tidbits... but I'm also not seeing as much misinformed gossip either and having my worldview skewed by the terminally online.

I just wanted to know what Hannah Gutierrez Reed's mum shouted to the court (and possibly her step dad) when she kicked off in court right after her daughter got convicted. That's all. :laugh: What a loss.

That's her left hand around Charlotte so you have two options here Royal defending squad:

Either that's not Kates hand, or Kate isn't wearing her wedding ring.

Uh oh.

You do realise women don't wear their wedding rings 24/7 365 days of the year? they might not fit properly at the moment and she doesn't want to lose them, my friend had hers cut off recently as she could not get them off, she didnt wear her rings for about 4 months, still married though :blush:

[Cherie]

I also find it a bit sexist as plenty married men don't wear a wedding ring, but if a women is seen without hers suddenly its a cause for gossip, its not a branding iron :idc:

You do realise women don't wear their wedding rings 24/7 365 days of the year? they might not fit properly at the moment and she doesn't want to lose them, my friend had hers cut off recently as she could not get them off, she didnt wear her rings for about 4 months, still married though :blush:

Sorry I also didn't realise that princesses are actually magical and can become semi-transparent in places, and that they can have clear horizontal lines across their front where their hair and clothing doesn't quite match up in a bodged-together photo crop.

Please Cherie. We can all speculate until the cows come home on the nature of the cropping/editing of the photo, and on the reasons for it, it's all just guesswork BUT trying to claim that it "isn't edited" at this point requires blinkers so thick you might as well be certified blind. The photograph unquestionably IS, for whatever reason, photoshopped. You can literally just see it for yourself.

[user104658]

Also even if it is her real hand, and even if she does just sometimes not wear her ring, releasing a picture of an extremely famous family minus wedding ring when there's current rumours regarding the husbands fidelity would be an absolutely massive PR fck up.

I never said anything about the photo? and I never claimed it wasn't edited? you just made that up to please yourself and so you could go on the attack. I was responding to your comment about the ringless hand....you are turning somersaults in your desperation for something to be wrong, really do you have anything better to do with your time than wish ill on a couple who have asked for privacy and are being private...very bizarre behaviour from you

[Cherie]

Probably photoshopped to troll the nasties, no wonder the kids are guffawing :laugh:

in fact this is what I said about the photo, but never miss an opportunity to try and put someone down eh SB?

[Cherie]

I agree with you Cherie,in my opinion the pic is genuine some people just seem desperate to create a conspirisy

[Maru]

Possibly they took burst shots and merged portions where that person had a slightly more ideal pose or expression. Very common in professional photography. I think we saw evidence of this before in their past family shots. Seeing as people clearly overanalyze their photos, they care very much what impression it leaves.. so it is a little bit less about the tricks involved because as we know these shots are typically creatively adjusted. Edit: For me it always seemed about capturing their family charm, maybe not capturing the "perfect" well-behaved family.. because it is not like kids sit still for photos.

It could also be a Patch tool and Clone brush either not checked against every edge to be sure it is seamless. Maybe a simpler error in cleaning up ugly folds or seams. (I haven't looked that closely, I have a headcold)

They're royals, celebrities, whatever... They're going to do fussy things to their images. One of the US mags did the weird head/body replacement thing (I forget which) on Harry that one photoshoot for a magazine where he was standing with Meghan. That one was really obvious, but you would be surprised people don't notice because these are done so often in the US in magazine covers. They usually just look like they have a stiff neck posture with an OTT facial expression, but something feels off..

So it is very common to pull portions of shots from the same shoot and replace elements in the final. Including an entire person's head because they had a better expression in the other one. Sometimes it looks fine. Other times it looks like the person is Frankensteined. But many people in Hollywood like to brush themselves up and Frankenstein their looks, so it usually just looks on brand and the average person won't notice..

the press worrying about a photo that has been "manipulated"

:laugh2:

I have heard it all now

[Cherie]

Literally, the photo probably has been touched up to make her look as good as can be, I think its unlikely there was a stand in unless it was someone very close to children, when you think what Kate has been through in the last couple of years its no wonder she is taking time out, she was very close to Philip and Liz, she was very close to Harry who is now happy to throw her under a bus, she doesn't know what they are going to come out with next and has been accused of being a racist and a bully, does a bully go round with flowers to apologise...not known that before... she is a human, not a robot and might be struggling to process everything that has happened in the last few years, if she had had a hysterectomy then that can also affect women badly as any future childbearing is snatched away, and finally IF William has played away that is for them to work out ....this ghoulish appetite to know what is going on is very weird.... they are not doing interviews or books or netflix series they want to deal with whatever is going on in private and they should be left to it...not much more to say

If you genuinely believe that this is a picture that was taken recently of the four of them together, Maru, I have a fine selection of exquisite chocolate teapots you might be interested in buying.

Like I said guessing at why they've mocked up a fake photo to release is pure speculation but at this point only an absolute fool would believe that this is a picture that was taken of Kate recently and if she looks 25% as healthy when she does actually emerge I'll be amazed. I'm not wishing ill on her, I'm just flabbergasted at the sheer contempt that's being shown for the public by expecting them to believe that this is a real recent photograph.

They should just have stuck to their guns and released nothing at all.

In image manipulation, there is a big difference from applying filters and such to improve/enhance the subject and cropping and pasting. The image from the palace has been cropped and pasted. Kate is a photographer that takes great pride in the official pictures that she produces, do people really think she would approve of a picture that had been put together like a poor jigsaw gone wrong? There is not just one reason why this picture is a concern, there are loads of them, and given the circumstances it was published in it raises more questions than it answers. Now, the palace have reverted to their "no comment", raising the speculation even further.

( As an aside, Prince Andrew has been warning about fake pictures for a while :laugh: )

She may not be looking that hard into anything since technically she's not even supposed to be working. I mean that would be my casual assumption?

I'm much more amused it's taken this long for this much of the public to realize the depth of image manipulation that goes on. Beyond just Liquify and noticeably wavey backgrounds around mysteriously tightened waistlines, etc. Compositing portraits is also a thing. It's usually necessary for landscapes in order for the background and skies to match correctly (requires 2+ shots at different exposure)... and is what HDR is meant to accomplish. This isn't a problem with portraits unless the lighting is setup poorly.

More surprised the royals would do it so blatantly since it is such tacky thing that celebrities do in America. They really don't need to try to copy Hollywood :laugh:

I think this lends more weight to the criticism against Wills & Kate trying to be more glamorous akin to that demographic. They should just come out with the individual images and explain "We took this hand from here because that version looked better" "Charlottes hair was wrong in this place here so we cropped that so that it fit better creatively". Just be freaking honest. I do photo-manipulations too, so I get it, but it's not so good to do it for portraits unless one has a good reason... like I actually do understand changing out a face if the posture is literally magical in another shot. I've never had to do it, but I can see a reason if the vision for that person is just too perfect. Or it could be that just every shot had something terribly wrong going on with it. It should have a good reason, but this just looks like it was overthought and obviously controversial for a high profile figure (as in very relevant figures) anyway to be replacing details or clone-brushing away features and replacing with a different shot. It's a thing that we do do here, but they really shouldn't for such intimate subjects.

4 news agencies have pulled the photo now including AP, Reuters, and Getty images.

This was a big mistake by the palace

They've learned their lesson then. I wonder if they rushed this portrait because of all the noise and this is the result... very sad.

…it maybe sounds strange to say but I find it quite reassuring and ‘honest’ as well in a way…that for one of the most wealthy and influential families and institutions in the world, something so amateur-ish has been done…because the level of conspiracy involvement in the past has been quite…well, very negative …this to me shows a family/institution etc that has just quickly botched something together to try appease the conspiracies and now…?…it’s obviously just made it worse…the conspiracies don’t matter…conspiracies are going to conspiracy, as they say…it’s what they’re leaning is to do…but because it’s become an international rejection of the pic in highlighting its manipulation etc…?…that in itself will probably require an explanation…and it feels like this is all the last thing the family need right now, I feel for them…what a total royal pickle this has become…

[Gusto Brunt]

My first thought when I saw the picture was it wasn't real.

You can do so much with digital photography these days and there is no reason why the person manipulating the photo would leave a hand looking a bit weird. Unless of course the intention was to show the photo had been touched up.:shocked:

Kate's face could have been taken from any other photo and superimposed on that body.

…I honestly didn’t look at the photographic/technical stuff…but Kate was wearing what looked like slim/close fitting jeans, which I thought she would wear loose fitting clothing after abdominal surgery…and in a sitting position, they would have maybe caused discomfort…mind you, I think that there are post surgery fitted jeans available also…so I just presumed they were those…

I wasn't even invested in this story until they have mentioned this fake photo now it does seem something very mysterious is going on. They say abdominal surgery which is likely true but I don't get why they are being so mysterious about it?

We may never know the full story

Didn’t her uncle say his sister, Kate’s mum said she is receiving the best treatment?

You have taken the stance that’s it’s privacy at all costs
I like so many only want the best for Kate

It's definitely odd, I agree.
No one thought they were connected until they insisted the two things weren't.
Which makes me think there is a connection.....

[AnnieK]

Its all a right royal mess. I wish they had stuck to their guns and not released anything until Kate was ready to get back to work. It feels like they have bowed to pressure.

Personally, I don't think Kate has had a hysterectomy, the recovery period seems too long. I think that she has had a lot of gasto problems including the sever morning sickness which left her with some reflux issues and I think she may have had a stoma fitted to offer some relief. This would be why she absolutely wants privacy whilst she learns to live with it as it takes time (even if its a reversible thing which a lot of time it is).

In short....they should leave the woman alone to heal and we will hear when we hear.

Exactly, no matter what different people think is actually going on, there's no way around saying that this photo has been a massive cock-up by the Royal PR team. Someone is losing their job for this one. There are so many errors in it on close inspection that it almost feels deliberate or designed to generate speculation. I just can't believe that got past any sort of quality control.

[Ammi]

…it’s not even about whether someone should lose their job or not…internationally, the UK is unique in their Royal family and there is a huge element of judgement and opinion of the country based on that…so this is becoming a right royal/national embarrassment because international agencies were the first ones to identify the manipulation and reject the image…

'I don't know how many times this needs to be said but if Kate is ill, and she wants to keep it private that is 100 per cent her business, we do not own her or have any right to her medical issues, its interesting that none of those 'worried' about her have responded to my post about the pressure that has been piled on Kate for the last few years especially from someone she was once very close to

For me, I just want to know that she is okay at a base level (i.e able to move around,) because if the pressure has taken it's toll on Kate, then that's tragic.

[Ammi]

…I mean, up until now I would have said that it was mainly social media conspiracy stuff and not of any particular note than any other conspiracy…but now ‘Katespiracies’ could become historically referred as a key part of the here and now…

I think its like Annie said she might be adjusting to something after the surgery, for a woman who is so scrutinised and photographed that wouldn't be easy, I honestly don't think the Palace would say she was recovering well if she wasn't, all trust would go out the window

[Ammi]

…I don’t know, was a Mother’s Day pic expected when only days before, the palace had issued the statement to say there would be no updates…I know that I didn’t expect one, in fact I would say that the pic was completely unexpected surprise in view of it immediately following on from the statement…

…anyway, it’s all past stuff and can’t be undone…so far as any embarrassment is concerned with any of this, it’s now up to the palace to address and put right …or not and just adopt silence…but this is a tricky one to not speak out about their reasoning when they’ve added so much to an escalation…

Princess Kate apologises over 'amateur' Mother's Day photo…

Kensington Palace has released an official statement in response to concerns over an image ofPrincess Kate and her three children,Prince George, Princess Charlotte, andPrince Louis, that was shared to mark Mother's Day on Sunday.

The statement comes after questions were raised over whether the image had been digitally altered. The photo, taken by Prince William, is the first of the princess to be released after her abdominal surgery.


In a message shared on social media on Monday morning, Princess Kate stated: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.

"I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C."


Royal sources said the Princess of Wales made "minor adjustments" and that Kate and Prince William wanted to offer an informal picture of the family together for Mother's Day.

"The Wales family spent Mother's Day together and had a wonderful day," the source added.


Earlier on, the PA news agency said it would be withdrawing the image from its picture service.

A spokesperson for the national news agency has since said: "Like other news agencies, PA Media issued the handout image provided by Kensington Palace of the Princess of Wales and her children in good faith yesterday.


We became aware of concerns about the image and we carried a report about it last night, and made clear that we were seeking urgent clarification about the image from Kensington Palace. In the absence of that clarification, we are killing the image from our picture service."

The photograph in question showed Kate sitting on a chair, surrounded by her three children. The princess had her arms around Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, who are on either side of her, while Prince George, ten, is standing behind with his arms hugging her neck.

The mum-of-three captioned the post: "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day. C."

Royal fans had questioned whether the image had been photoshopped after claiming that the sleeve of Princess Charlotte's cardigan did not line up.

Later that day, the photo was withdrawn by international picture agencies over concerns that the image had been manipulated.

The photo marked the first image released of Kate since her planned operation at the London Clinic on January 16. She was released two weeks later and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

The mum-of-three is not expected to return to royal duties until after Easter.

:joker:

To me the number of edits strongly indicates that the kids have been photoshopped into an older (pre-surgery) picture of Kate. WHy would they do that instead of just using an old photo? Well, for the obvious reason that people would pick up on it very quickly if the kids looked younger, and if it was just Kate on her own, people would still say it's an old photo. So it had to be a current photo of the kids alongside a healthy-looking Kate. Which they don't have and can't get.

Do I think that's because they've done away with her or any particularly grand conspiracy? No, I just think she's more unwell than they want to say - and the ABSOLUTE IRONY that would come with having to demand privacy and that the press don't badger them, given how the man has treated his brother for wanting the same. Never complain, never explain right Wills. Until it's your own wife who is ill. Then - lo and behold - the "Precious Royal Etiquette" becomes a bit less important. Who would have thought?

I'm not judging them - if I am it's positively. He should be ready to burn the entire monarchy to the ground for his wife and children if necessary, and I'd think 10x more of him if he did.

Anyway. I do also think this has to be considered in the context of how awful he looked in that recent video being sworn in. That was not a man worried for his 75 year old dad and overwhelmed at the responsibility (that he's been groomed for his entire life). To me, that was a man reeling because his own immediate life is in turmoil. At the time I was inclined to believe that the rumours of a rift/infidelity and impending divorce were the cause. Now I'm wondering if it's simply that Kate is quite unwell.

To go a bit more down the Zizu rabbit hole and speculate - perhaps it is because of an eating disorder. Which would explain why they don't want it being publicly available info. A tragic thing for anyone to go through but also it would be an absolute PR disaster for the Royals for Kate to be struggling with mental health issues. It's distinctly against the New Young Wives rearing handbook.

The sheer contempt this press office has for the public is absolutely wild.

…I guess so but I think it’s maybe more…clueless/at a loss at how to put right …I always felt that the Royal firm were such a machine of efficiency and abilities etc…but maybe not so much at all…?…when you think about it, their ‘typical behaviour pattern’ of ‘never explain’ might mean that explanation is something they don’t atm know how to address and not a skill set they’re coached in….so maybe not contempt after all…

"The proletariat hath had their obligatory platitudinal statement... now let them eat cake!" :idc:

Public worm has turned on the Royals and they're flailing desperately. Her Maj was the glue holding the whole ship together... there were high hopes for a solid comeback post-Charles (inevitably) brief stint with William and Kate but the Perfect Royal Family is coming apart at the seams before they've even started.

Queen Elizabeth II was a clear (and let's face it, quite fitting and hugely dignified) full stop at the end of the British Monarchy. I don't doubt this silly soap opera will dribble on for decades to come, but we know it's over. Anyone with even the vaguest gauge on public opinion knows. The "special case" exceptions they've enjoyed as Royal Celebrities are well and truly gone ... and this whole debacle demonstrates that with crystal clarity.

William's brother and sister and law could have told him that if he was listening. As could his mother.
