Just more press dishonesty, I guess.

From a PR perspective though I'm surprised she wasn't wearing one anyway.

To be honest the tv footage yesterday showed her brushing past people .. at one point even squeezing between two people ... I was more stunned at the poor security more than her not wearing a mask

Not going to lie it is sus and were I a more cynical person I might think designed to demonstrate that "Kate has freedom, see?". I don't know. Something feels off.

...it has been reported that this was a PR exercise as well but it’s also ‘very Kate’, I think...it’s very representative of the person she is so I’m going to put the PR thing down to ‘over cynical social media’...I do believe that she tried to remain discreet...as discreet as a Royal can be...and as discreet as the media are portraying while putting her on every front page...

She would have been more discreet (potentially unidentifiable) in a mask though which is what makes something about it feel slightly off, to me. Put her in jogging clothes, a large face covering and tied back hair and I swear she could have jogged right through the crowd without anyone being any the wiser. On top of that, usually when we've seen William and Kate in public recently, they HAVE been wearing masks (including outdoors) so why choose not to wear one, for the first time, whilst trying hard to be discreet? I'm not trying to make conspiracy theories per se but in some ways it doesn't add up.

...I don’t really disagree with you with most of what you say, TS...I guess I’m just trying to not form too many thoughts if I’m honest, just because I’m trying to keep my head more about it all being about Sarah, you know....it’s just really difficult, though...

That's my main issue with Kate being there. I find it sad that the headlines are about her and not about Sarah. Kate was doing a heartfelt thing it seems but it has now become about her being there and not just about Sarah.

If she had been jogging with a mask on she would have stood out a mile.

...I’m thinking that the security would have been there but just in a less visible way and she may have had some kind of alarm button or whatever fitted to her person/in her clothing etc...security was something that would create some difficulty because it could appear intimidating, which would go against everything that was being expressed in the vigil...I do agree that a ‘best practice’ mask would have been the better way for her to be seen...
