…disclaimer:…that doesn’t mean that TMZ don’t get some accuracy also…just that they’re a celebrity entertainment media, not a news media based…

For Sure

…that’s another thing that I find a bit…hmmmmmm….that TMZ got the ‘scoop’ on the car pic and ‘sighting’ when UK media must have been camped out for weeks at every Royal residence…looking for that first glimpse….


…I just think it’s all adding to the conspiracy fuelling on the internet, rather than the reverse ….anyway, whether it’s Kate or not in the car, I wish her well in her recovery…maybe she’s gone to moms for a CBB watching evening…

Its who can pay the highest Cash,
FAST.

Using a Long Lens - That is their trade


Money changes the World

….but yeah, I can see that, Arista ….the only thing is with that ….is that is that it doesn’t allow for any time for ‘verification’ of whether things are authentic before they become ‘fact’….which surely was a contributor to fake news and the mess of information/mis information that we have atm…

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…

also jealousy

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….

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

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

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:

If Kate doesn’t appear I will personally run naked around Windsor Castle with we’re is Kate written on me

The good old days when it was written on a toilet wall

But it is a UK Pressman that Sold it.

That is your ‘verification’

…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 ….

…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…

…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…

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…

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

"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

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.
