Royalty is an official british institution. A celeb is not

a photo in the media is a photo in the media and in 2024 every pic is manipulated massively

either intentionally or unintentionally by a phone camera software chip

Listen putting a pig’s head on your shoulders would be an improvement but that’s another story

I agree to some degree but when things don’t actually line up you are taking the p1ss

Then leave her alone which is what she asked for :shrug:

…what felt and feels odd as well for me is when William cancelled his attendance at his godfather’s memorial service…?..and then it unfolded that Thomas Kingston has died suddenly…?…it was specifically stated that wasn’t the reason for his cancelling for ‘personal reasons’, when it was perfectly plausible to be left at that explanation to dumb down any conspiracies at the time…it didn’t have to be confirmed as that if it wasn’t true …but just not commented on at all…

only if looking for a story for malfeasant reasons

I’m on a bb forum not the the news at ten get a grip woman

it only feels odd is you feel you have to know a private families full personal details

I presume you don't feel that need?

I didn't mean you specifically but you counted yourself among numbers of people who wanted the best for Kate

This episode is not so much about Kate, but about the fact that the palace were happy to try and hoodwink the public. I'm assuming Kate is recovering fine, if she wasn't, she would be back in hospital for a start, and no-one can cover that up

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.....

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.

I’m on no other social platform talking about this subject and I’ve not been posting that much in this thread

If you want privacy don’t post a manipulated photo that’s has gone international because it’s now done the exact opposite of reassuring the general public that things are ok with kate

At least she's looking happier. Which means she's probably on the mend.

Life doesn’t work like that does it.

…sadly this has all escalated to what it has become…?…with added contribution and input from the palace/royal institution as well…from my interpretation because I don’t do social media and it’s frenzy about many things…is that any questioning or conspiracy theories or concerns etc…?…mainly began with pics of Charles appearing through his recovery… and as we know, his health concerns aren’t ’scheduled ‘more minor’ surgery and treatment…so that seemed to spark social media into this ‘where’s Kate’ thing…it was obviously stated and confirmed that she would be absent from any Royal duties until after Easter at the earliest and that was that…so why the pic, why manipulate a false pic when it wasn’t necessary to do so at all….to update anything at all regarding Kate when it was already just confirmed that there would be no updates…

…I think that there may have been hernia complications as well, is my thought…but this really has become a mess and that mess can’t just be attributed to social media and conspiracy theories…it’s also a royal owned mess, as you say…

I expect she will be back. Maybe early summer?

…well, it’s just not good for them as an establishment and on a personal level of trying to build that public connection with a new sovereign and new royal era as it were…

…when she’s back, I have no idea tbh…but I hope she’s recovering and that her complete well-being is good and healthy…

hoodwink them by making a sleeve less folded?

:joker:

…I’m not going to click the link but I think that Sharon was absolutely right when she said ‘why don’t I believe you…’, regarding Gary’s intention to seek celebrity for himself….

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.

…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…
