The Princess of Wales skipped the St. Patrick’s Day parade hosted by the Irish Guards this year. We knew she would, even though this is her first official St. Patrick’s Day as Colonel of the Irish Guards, having been given the honorary military patronage last year when Prince William stepped down. In previous years, her job was to show up in a green coatdress, attach a giant shamrock bouquet to the Irish Guards’ mascot dog Seamus and watch the parade. Maybe make a brief speech. Kate is obviously (??) still recuperating from her January abdominal surgery, so that’s why she skipped this year. Except… Kate was reportedly well enough to go to a garden center AND her kids’ sporting event on Saturday. She was well enough to be out and about throughout the day on Saturday, but not well enough to do her shamrock job on St. Patrick’s Day? I mean, that’s if you believe the Sun’s completely random cover story:
Princess Kate took her first steps towards a return to official engagements with a trip to her favourite farm shop. Onlookers said she looked “happy, relaxed and healthy” on the visit a mile from her Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor on Saturday. In a further boost yesterday, Kate and William spent the morning watching children George, ten, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five, take part in sports.
The sightings come amid wild speculation and gossip about her health and whereabouts which left the royal couple “devastated”. Kate was also embroiled in hurtful criticism over a Mother’s Day picture which she altered using Photoshop.
A witness at the farm shop in Windsor said: “After all the rumours that had been going round I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well. The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.”
There was more encouraging news for the Royal Family yesterday as King Charles, who is receiving cancer treatment, spent the weekend at his Highgrove home in Gloucestershire.
Kate was last seen on public duty on Christmas Day, and has been unable to carry out official engagements since having an operation in January.
If Kate was really out and about on Saturday, going to her kids’ sporting event (??) and popping by a farm shop… why did no one think to snap a photo? You could argue that the paparazzi are not staking out garden shops in Windsor, but why didn’t some random onlooker or witness snap a blurry pic on their iPhone? This is so bizarre. While Kate is known to love a garden store, William doesn’t really give a sh-t – why were they together? Is any of this real? And why didn’t William think to hang out with the Irish Guards in his wife’s place on Sunday?
Update!! The Sun and TMZ just posted a video of Kate and William walking out of the garden store on Saturday. We will have much more on all of this tomorrow. She doesn’t look puffy or ill at all.

Oh so she’s definitely in a coma.
Only half joking. I get lulled into thinking it can’t be that bad. Probably just a very tough recovery and nasty illness and the usual bs will lazy Wills. Then they do this and I’m right back to: nope this is princess Charlene/miscavige xfiles qanon level bad
Sorry to jump on the top comment, but yeah its definitely way too much protesting at this point. For some local context (as I used to live practically next door to the Windsor grounds and drive past this farm shop every day) – its not a garden centre, it’s just bougie deli type shop where you can buy fancy produce from the Windsor grounds. It’s really delicious to be fair. The point is – I will eat my hat if Kate just randomly goes shopping for food at the Windsor’s OWN SHOP for things she could have for free anyway. And even if she did, we all know staff would be going to get it. It’s a reasonably popular farm shop, and there’s no way in the current circumstances Kate would just be popping in there in the public. It’s also immediately outside the grounds, next to one of the entrance gates (the one that leads to Frogmore) so she’d have to drive, or awkwardly have the gates opened to walk out. Makes no sense and is just one more very transparent lie.
Edited to add – the more I think about it this seems like a shameless plug for the farm shop, on top of a clear lie.
Just want to flag up that this is a thriving commercial enterprise with the profits going back into the royal estates (whose farm products are sold in the Windsor Farm Shop).
CherHorowitz and Beth, thanks for the local information and the warning that this is potentially being used to get people to buy produce to make money for Windsor. That’s gross.
@Beth so it sounds like the rumor is she bought some produce from her own family at her family store 🤣
lol well this is my first top comment on a Kate post hehe—I’m letting my preschooler get himself up with his alarm so I have a little moment at 7:30 to read the internet and drink coffee.
If that is Kate in the video, she had some major face work.
@Megan – Wut did I even just watch?? Yeah, if that’s her, then yes she’s had major work done. And if that’s the case, they botched the PR on this to the point of never being fully trusted again, all so she could get some tweaks (as do all celebrities all the time, so why even hide it?) But I’m still leaning pretty far into fake-Melani, er, Kate, because they’ve said for *weeks* that we wouldn’t see Kate until Easter. But suddenly she’s in the mood to buy some vegetables? (which other posters have pointed out are grown in Windsor and hers to enjoy for for free??)
Yeah, if that’s her, then it might actually be face work??? I have never made the joke that it was just plastic surgery but omg if it is.
@cherhorowitz, thanks for sharing, it’s very insightful!!
You’re absolutely right, there’s no way W&K we’re randomly going about their daily life at *that* shop.
It’s a deli and we know they can get that stuff for free if they asked for it, AND they have access to Windsor Castle food and meals (Andrew and Fergie get their food and meals delivered from the castle too), AND they have staff quarters in the driveway of Adelaide Cottage to service all their needs, AND they have a team of Filipino nurses, AND they’ve NEVER been photographed at that farm shop before. This is 100% a PR set-up.
I’d say the location was chosen not as a ploy to increase sales, but because the Crown owns it and can shut the entry points, stage it with cars and people (probably security and staff), and direct a poor-quality propaganda video to make it look like a sneaker stranger took it.
I have no idea if it’s actually W&K in the video. She does look extraordinary skinny and with sudden extraordinary high and bulbous cheekbones.
If she’s well enough, as the video implies, why couldn’t she sit for a real and current Mother’s day photo? Or pose facing the photographer in car photo? This leads me to think it’s either an old video, or it’s not Kate in the video, or her face doesn’t look ‘normal enough’ for a proper clear photo yet, or the King and William finally gave her what she kept asking for.
Keep your eyes out to see if Andrew’s suddenly leaving Royal Lodge or George isn’t going to Eton 😆
I know there will be a bigger post later this morning, but I just want to say that I have poo-pooed the idea for the past few months that this was just about a facelift or some other form of plastic surgery. But now I think that theory was correct – she just had work done and used the “abdominal surgery” thing to get public sympathy.
Not Kate not William at the farm
Nah, this isn’t Charlene bad. We had proof of life for Charlene. Sure, many of us didn’t believe the ‘ear surgery’ story, but she posted on Instagram and Albert (and the kids?) went to visit her. We knew where she was; we just didn’t know/buy their explanation of why she was there. The only time we didn’t get photos was when she went to Switzerland for treatment. (And I don’t think anyone would expect photos from someone in a treatment centre.)
Charlene was sending us flags: the haircut was obvious cry for help. Kate did have her retro bangs – that was her cry for help – next time we’ll know. You know, the more I think about it the more this is about her being vain. She had something done to her face and then half her face was frozen so she had to cancel her events. They’re not that deep… as we know
What are the odds this was a knee-jerk reaction from KP to Meghan’s launching of ARO? 🤔
Well that would be about the right amount of thought put into this: aka ZERO. If they can’t actually produce a film of her prancing around the garden, then they should seriously just STFU. The scolding editorials about how we are all tormenting a sick woman were putting a damper on my conspiracy theory fun but now this?? Nah, on some level they must love Twitter freaking out and running amok with where-is-kate stories.
Now THIS is a theory. I knew there would be SOMETHING.
Not only no photos, but “quotes” from unnamed other shoppers? Don’t UK reporters get people’s names when interviewing them? This did not happen.
@WaterLily this was my EXACT thought after reading localaa describe it as a local deli with products from the grounds of Windsor. An attempt to show up ARO. This is pathetic. And I highly doubt she was even there.
She’s either recovering from a stroke or some complication from surgery. She won’t “work” until she’s had enough physical and speech therapy to appear normal. But they can’t hide her after Easter because there’s too much build up now, so whether she’s ready or not, I think she will “appear” somewhere she can photographed from afar, but will not speak. That’s my best guess.
Yeah, my friend group agrees that it’s something facial that is preventing her from coming out in public/getting her face photographed.
Our suspicion is not something as severe as a stroke, but something like bell’s palsy, where she has minor facial paralysis. That would be something that is NOT all that serious (which is why the rest of the family is gleefully going on about their lives), but is something that would mean that Kate absolutely refuses to go out in public and/or be photographed.
Maybe she’s taking a few shifts at the garden shop, and William was dropping her off at work the other day!
Every crazy day I move closer to believing she really is tied up in the Balmoral basement
Now I also think the coma story was true. We all have eyes, we all know she had an eating disorder/ something seriously wrong with her ability to absorb calories. With advanced eating disorders comes organ failure and ruptures, sepsis. Things like that, which could necessitate a medically induced coma. And during recovery from an ED a person usually becomes incredibly puffy. I am actually hoping at this point that Kate is in a responsible treatment program and that they’re shielding her from ALL this bullshit and prioritizing her physical and mental health. I suspect that tomorrow someone will point out that the video above was made 6 months ago.
Am I losing my mind, or do her legs looks way too thin? Maybe she lost weight because of the surgery? Something about the way the shoes look on both of them, like they seem to slightly change size as they walk. Could be an optical illusion, but there are a few other things about this vid that make it seem off. They look like they are gliding, with how fast they seem to be walking, plus the crazy amount of objects that seems to be obscuring them for most of the short clip. I feel like this is part AI, like these people were added in after. No one else seems to even notice them walking by.
Yeah, the legs also look too long to me.
Another fail. Is the witness the new PR guy?
Yeah, the new secretary, also subbing as a PR advisor, who orchastrated the last few weeks to Peg’s complete satisfaction.
I keep thinking about the new kp yes man and how John Oliver referred to their handling as almost “impressively bad.”
It’s like they can’t stop themselves from getting to work in the morning, having a cup of tea, and brainstorming ways to make it worse.
It’s mind bogglingly bad.
Too bad England has zero ready press covering the royals.
Because no one who was actually shopping there saw the princess, but we’ll never know b/c the press works for the palace and the palace works for the press.
Sure sure out shopping at the garden center probably to buy fertilizer for that pot farm near her parents home. Somebody has got to think of those plants.
She doesn’t need to buy any fertilizer, the amount of B***S coming out of that family and the British Media is enough for years.
@My3Cents……ROTFL!!!!!!
It just goes from bad to worse with that family and their lying propaganda press team. Did they think anyone would find this article credible especially after the lies surrounding the illness and the Frankenstein photo?
Exactly. This is such an amateur move, that I can’t believe they released this news – and without a photo! ridiculous.
That’s my question. This random person wouldn’t take a picture but would call and tell the Sun they saw her. Get outa here.
And not give their name? No actual witness is cited by name, somehow?
The photo is from last year before christmas even if its them (don’t think so it is them) to photo was taken when the windsor farm shop had the christmas decor on the little hut behind them where people drink and sitt those are only out in december before christmas it is end of march why would that still be up
I saw Big Foot at Market Basket the other day. He looked happy and healthy and was checking out the chuck roast on sale. Nobody took pics out of respect for his privacy.
I really did laugh out loud.
And you’ve summed the farcical situation up superbly. Your response need echoing nationally.
Were we there on the same day? I saw him giving tips to the Lock Ness Monster on how to keep baked good fresh for longer!
Snap, I just said the same thing!
I saw the Loch Ness monster in the bay near where I live as well. Didn’t think to get photos, was making sure s/he had their privacy.
Lmao, not the Basket!!!
He was probably there to see if there was any corned beef brisket on sale. Hope he was clever enough to get the last one.
My cousin saw Grand Duchess Anastasia in a Florida retirement home. No pictures, she said, not to alert the bolsheviks.
Didn’t she fly in on that missing Malaysia jet? Or did Amelia Earhart bring her? (No pictures….privacy, ya know.).
I’m filing this one under “Prince William goes jogging in Central Park”, but am happy to add that “he then runs into Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster at Market Basket”.
@mobimom and « then he takes a selfie with the Lindbergh baby ».
HA HA HA HA HA
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s!
Same. And Amelia Earhart does all her shopping at my neighborhood grocery store. But I don’t bother her while she recovers from a very long trip.
And his hair looked perfect!
LMAO
His hair was perfect!
(Ahhh, Interested Gawker beat me to it!)
…and his hair was perfect! LOL!
Y’all!! 👏🤣
Mmhm I’d like to meet his tailor.
His hair was perfect….yey!
That was after Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney Jr. were walking with the Queen.
Robot Dog *chef’s kiss* along with ‘his hair was perfect’ comments. Dying.
WZ would give big thumbs up. I hope Stephen King comes across this. He and WZ were very good friends and would appreciate the macabre spirit of all of this.
LOLeD so hard at the above comments. A change in underwear *might* be needed.
You better stay away from him, he’ll rip your lungs out, Jim!
At this point I would more believe it’s her if thy put up a mannequin wearing a t shirt that says “I’m Kate”
There should be a meme of Big Foot / windagos / Nessie whatever walking past that store.
I know plenty of people that take a leave of absence from work but leave the house. Maternity leave is a good example. You can be recovering from a c section but still go to Walmart. It doesn’t mean you are going to go back to work Monday.
I read somewhere else there are pics but the press was asked not to print them. That doesn’t explain why they aren’t on twitter or insta though.
Then (exactly like someone on maternity leave) why not release an *actual* family photo, filtered to your desire, (sending the original to the papers as proof)??
Instead of faking a photo (because you don’t want to be seen?), yet being perfectly happy to be out in town being seen?
We told the peasants to wait until Easter, so wait until Easter they shall!!!! Do not question my decision, lowly tax paying subject 🤪🤪
But why can’t the press print the pics when they’re definitely running the story? This is so bizarre. And, no, Kate is not any mom on mat leave etc, etc, spare me. These BRF people are just thieves, stealing from the poor masses and getting away with it every single time. Now we have their mouthpieces and derangers making excuse after excuse for their laziness and thieving ways.
My 70 year old mom had a heart surgery 2 months ago (open heart) she was home after 2 weeks and she is doing spring cleanin now going shopping playing with grandkids just like before. No way in hell that a 40 year old women after a “abdominal surgery” needs six months to recover (they told she comes back after easter but that changed to june)
Jamie, I agree that you can start going out and about during recovery from, for example, a C-section. However, there are no photos of this: “Onlookers said she looked “happy, relaxed and healthy” on the visit a mile from her Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor on Saturday.”
If she’s looking “happy, relaxed, and healthy,” why on earth won’t they release the original pix W took for Mother’s Day? Since Christmas there have been NO public sightings of her, her staff is NOT in touch with her, and no one has heard her voice. I’m not sure I trust this information.
Also-why is Prince William dodgy with his cap, trying to avoid paparazzi-hide his face – while she’s gleefully prancing along-almost skipping and throwing her hair around?
It doesn’t feel right. Doesn’t she move more elegantly than that? The movement is of a young girl.
Except that she’s not on maternity leave. She keeps pushing back on the timeline and a boss would have acceptable evidence of medical leave being necessary. In this case she works for the public by being publicly funded. I thought it was rough that the minister of defense here in the US had to share so many details of his hospitalization and is still being hounded by Congress for the secrecy. You either “work” for the public and accept some measure of privacy loss (as KC seems to have managed to balance out) or you become private and fund your own life (like H&M). You find it acceptable that W&K get a middle ground, but H&M weren’t allowed that? It’s not like going to the one event for the Guards would have required her to work a 40 hour week like someone with a regular job.
I remember the chapter from SPARE when Harry was pressed for information regarding when (as we know now) Archie would make his appearance. The BRITISH PRESS were getting impatient. Harry(me paraphrashing), “Oh yeah, THEY’RE IMPATIENT!”. Camilla T. complained about having to wait for the news because of something. Really b*tch. You made a choice in your own life-if it effected YOU missing out on something with your own children, it was YOUR choice.
Just to remind you that you are talking about a woman who was accustomed to prancing down the steps of a maternity wing, for a photo call, in pumps, mere hours after giving birth. Not only that, she is not you. She is a woman who is fully funded by the state, presumably in exchange for her doing basic things like ribbon cutting. I think the public has the right to know why she is well enough to be out and about, but not to do menial tasks associated with her “job”. And it doesn’t bother you that the Sun would choose to print this story without the photos, and, fail to disclose that info to it’s readers? Does it not bother you at all that the pictures accompanying the story have nothing to do with that story? Does the word “journalism” mean nothing to you at all?
I wish we had a “like” button cause you certainly earned a “like” here, Proud Mary!
Right – two things can be true! A person recuperating from an illness/surgery can go on low key errands or sit at a sporting event for their kids but not be ready to return to work (whatever you think of their job) AND it’s sus as hell that nobody got a photo and KP is being KP about it.
But… they can’t be “healthy” looking enough at the market on Saturday but refuse to sit for a photo that they could have their face and body photoshopped for.
Normal people can and would, but these aren’t normal people, and they’ve lost the trust of the public and the non-rota-rat press.
Yeah, I’m not buying it. I don’t believe *any* of their anonymous sources.
Same. Given their response to the last ‘pics or it didn’t happen’, I love that this weekend they try this. There is zero chance that any of this took place without something getting online somewhere unless they totally shut down the garden centre and the witness is a plant, in which case why believe any of it? With the school I can imagine some kind of contract that has gone out to all parents that they’re banned from taking any pics of the royals at school events/on school property.
She was outside my kitchen window! Totally! She checked her phone and was walking around! Now my condo is on the 14th floor so it was a bit surprising to see someone walking outside my window…but trust me bro! 😏
LOL! Of course, don’t you know Kate can levitate?!
I completely agree with you both. Pics or it didn’t happen was my first thought too. They and their entire team of bumbling buffoons are lying liars who lie but I’m supposed to believe this story?
And even with them allegedly going to the school sporting events, the kids supposedly haven’t even been in school this whole time, right, isn’t that the gossip? So the kids AND the disappeared wife AND the husband with the wandering willy ALL suddenly show up and no one snaps a pic? I don’t believe that for a second. Even if there were some compact with the other parents, this is no ordinary appearance.
But, just assuming that it is all true, then why isn’t she well enough to work or even plan to work in June?
Aha! I thought I’d read that the kids’ sporting event was a school thing.
According to the Fail online they did the sporty stuff before going to the farmshop sans enfants, so that was Saturday.The lyingSun had them farm shopping on Saturday then watching the kids sports on Sunday.
A quick look at Lambrook’s website “What’s on” section makes no mention of sports day or any other sporty events last weekend.
Caught again.
When I saw this article last night, I rolled my eyes so hard.
A photo from last fall on the cover with claims she’s been spotted. By Unnamed sources. With no photos. But she’s healthy. but she can’t sit for a photo she could edit her face and body on. But she’s healthy. But she can’t work or write a thank you card or wave from a car. But she’s healthy.
Yes, it seems like more and more is adding to the not healthy and it’s more than possible that it’s because of Will.
Yeah. “C” was out shopping. And spending time with William. The more desperate they show themselves to be, the more I’m convinced she’s no longer here.
This story just keeps getting weirder and more suspicious.
For a family with an entire couturier of PR people, they are failing spectacularly.
If she’s fine and just taking some time off to recuperate, why not schedule an interview with a journalist of their choice?
They could even just announce that a future interview has been scheduled for X time and date.
Whenever there are rumbles in the press or public sphere regarding the state of the WanK’s marriage, stories like these emerge. It’s always ‘Keen was spotted with Peen at a local *insert establishment here*, but of course no photos were taken because of *insert privacy excuse here*’.
It’s mind-boggling to say the least that there’s never any photographic evidence to back it up. Whenever other royal/celebrity couples are spotted in public, there’s always a sneaky picture of them in a restaurant. We have seen this all the time with Harry & Meghan, Beyonce & Jay-Z, George & Amal, etc. This never happens with William & Kate because they are liars. Their whole marriage is one big sham and it’s borderline disturbing that they are still committed to keeping this up. Especially after everything that has happened within the past week.
Hahaha they can’t be serious. The part about Peg accompanying her is what gave it away. He sure as sh!t did not go to any garden center. It’s one thing that he endures a soccer match for his kid but spend all that time around Keen and then spend some MORE time with her in a garden center?? For him that’s what the staff is for.
Exactly! Pegs going shopping with the missus on a Saturday afternoon? Sure, Jan. I don’t think he’s ever done this. Even when she was pregnant with G and spotted out shopping, she was always alone. Plus, a garden center? Someone recovering from something so severe that she can’t be seen by the public who fund her life, or talk to/see her own staff, or do easy work like watch a parade, or (allegedly) release more than a tweet, is suddenly going to be gardening? Or even has the strength to walk through a garden center? Nah, I don’t think so.
I don’t even buy that Peg would endure a sports day for his children. Flirting with the other mums, maybe. Fly to France to watch professional sports and suck up to the pro athletes afterward, definitely. Watch a 5-year old run around a field? Nope.
Not only are there no pix of Keen, but there are none of Willnot either. It just beggars belief.
Haha, right? Next they’ll try to sell us a story about William going to a home improvement store to pick up a few things to do some home repairs like a totally normal dad.
Wills has decided to finish the basement of Adelaide Cottage. While nursing Kate back to health, he discovered how keen he is about carpentry. It will be a cozy space for this perfect family.
There were people from the area on reddit, saying that the locals didn’t see her in the market. So, probably #fakenews. Just the other day, the palace had a chat with the Sun’s editor to discuss how to fight the online rumors. I am guessing that they cooked this story then. Also, I am seeing the twitter added the note of pics not being recent to the Sun’s post. They were trying to mislead people putting this story to the front page, but no one is buying it.
I love that every photo that’s not current/relevant is now getting community notes from a whole range of people, not just the sussex squad.
There is actually a date on those photos in the fine print. They were taken six months ago.
Ooh what sub on reddit? I like a good gossip sub 🥰
@Sandy8, RoyalsGossip. There are a lot of H&M haters there, so I didn’t read there much. But, with Kate’s disappearance, a lot of people started to visit and comment on the sub, so now a little more balanced. There is a KateGate megathread, at part 5 now 😭
This is all reinforcing my theory that the main reason KatieKeen doesn’t want to be seen is because her face is puffy due to being on steroids and/or osteomy bag and she’s ashamed of it. But it sounds like the palace is stirring up propaganda yet again so it really could be anything.
I’m just hoping that those horrendous bangs have grown out during this time.
It’s the least that could happen.
Agreed, or to let facial plastic surgery settle- maybe both.
I had a hysterectomy @ age 55 & was out of hospital in 2 days. The only restriction was not to lift anything weighing more than 10 lbs for 30 days. After an -ostomy, my
s-i-l was able to go for rides, easy walks, etc, in a month. Kate’s surgery was pre-planned & her long recup time was scheduled & announced well in advance. The secrecy is weird and maybe just an mis-guided ploy for sympathy & attention.
“Misguided” is very generous term. If there hasn’t been so many lies and deceit this year in this story alone. If they stayed quiet and malingered for a little sympathy that would be misguided. But they ACTIVELY worked to deceive. They should be dragged for how they handled this in my opinion. These people were no good before all this happened and they are no good now.
Again, though, with all the photoshopping that’s being done, couldn’t they take a photo and slim it down or whatever? It makes no sense.
And look at the second bullet: first public trip ends web rumors. They really do think we are blind sheep who will follow whatever they say. They insult our intelligence at every turn and prove they are the dim witted ones.
Really, how ridiculous are they? Nothing ever ends web rumors. But, let’s just pretend that this ends the rumor that she’s dead – it doesn’t change the fact that they issued a photo so fake that news services around the globe will be forever suspicious of them.
In hindsight, Monaco dealt with their missing princess with way better finesse.
Monaco also dealt with illegitimate children (rumors) better. Score Monaco 2 KP 0.
Let’s be real, @ Seraphina and ML, Monaco has had a ton of practice with Albert and has clearly learned.
The RBF apparently still thinks is a pre Edward/Wallis environment.
Yeah that’s what I noticed too. Wishful thinking on their part.
It’s a little terrifying how confident they are in their North Korea style propaganda. I’m beginning to worry about Britain as a whole, being so cut off from the world.
I agree. This entire fiasco and the continued strategy to lie about all of it is and should be disturbing for the nation.
A picture of Kate out and about would be worth A TON right now, I’d imagine at least high-6-figures. I refuse to believe no one took a photo while there, or that paps didnt catch anything on their way to/from
The Windsor farm shop itself is quite big and normally has at least 20 people in. There’s also a café with big windows overlooking the car park and the entrance, and that is usually heaving on a Saturday so, call it another hundred people. There is absolutely no way that somebody would not have snapped a photo on their phone given the current situation and mystery around Kate’s disappearance. Some people might have respected her privacy, but all of them? No.
What a life. They have the best of everything, funded by the public largely crushing under cost of living, she/he take months off from doing nothing, and repeatedly tell the great unwashed “f off”. They are thumbing their noses at the public they “serve”. It’s disgusting. Good enough to maybe go shopping, but not good enough to do anything that might benefit anyone else. These two are such a waste.
my immediate thought reading that she’d allegedly gone to the farm store and the sports game was that she was obviously well enough then to do the Irish Guards gig, but chose not to.
No, no. She was so tired from being out Saturday. Obviously she needed to take it easy Sunday! She’s unwell! Stop demonizing her!!!! 😂
Bread and circuses without the bread, or the performances.
What is the point of royalty in the 21st century?
THIS!!! If the royal family was 1) actually contributing to the running of the country in a meaningful way or 2) Their charity organization impact exceeded the money they get from taxpayers ergo amplifying that they do actual good or 3) they could prove they bring in more tourism dollars than they spend/inherit tax free then maybe they might have some value??? Maybe?? and I know they say they bring in tourism dollars but honestly I am fairly certain tourists visit London all the time without visiting Buckingham palace (hell, I went to London and never set foot near anything royal and had a lovely time). The Louvre is a palace and I am guessing The Louvre provides more cash and more cultural significance to the world than Bill and Cathy and Chuck and Camilla….and guess what….no royalty! So yeah, people like palaces. People like shiny things. Open up the grounds and make them public, turn them into public parks and museums….I’d bet my pinky toe in the end the UK would actually see an increase in tourism and cash flow than what they do now. Just my two cents.
The point of royalty is to keep the grift of taking tax-payers’ money and maintaining the image of their “superiority. “
File this one under “Prince William goes jogging in Central Park”.
Exactly 😂
But this story ups the ante – it’s somewhat believable that New Yorkers wouldn’t recognize or care about TOB. But Kate has been quite publicly missing from view. It’s an even stupider lie!
Why do they think people are going to read that and believe them!?
I am glad this got Community Notes, this is really ridiculous.
Can the Prime Minster demand Kate’s proof of life and a welfare check for George and his siblings? It’s unbelievable that they can float an absurd story like this and shirk the Irish Guards again while insisting Kate can’t be seen until April.
“First trip ends online rumors?” You wish. Another case of deciding what reality is instead of just reporting it.
They are lying through their teeth!@@ if that was the first trip, then what was the thip with William to a private appointment on commonwealth day? And what about the so-called school run she did with her mother?
Out and about; looking “happy and healthy”….OK let’s pretend this is actually true: she’s feeling great and almost back to her normal self. Then why couldn’t she spend two hours watching a parade – doing the “job” that tax dollars support? And as Kaiser mentions – Willy was watching the kids play sports and shopping with her (ahahaha, please) – HE couldn’t fill in for her?
Why do Brits put up with this sh**??? I mean, I get that it’s a complicated relationship with actual government structure – but take away all their state-owned properties except one, and throw them the fare for an Uber when they come by and open Parliament. Stop paying for this.
It’s really interesting that two recent stories emphasized ‘happy and healthy.’ Which makes me think the rumors/theories Kate had a mental breakdown (on top of surgery or which led to some kind of medical intervention) have some merit to them.
I think it’s more likely to try to quash the “marital troubles” stories.
Unhealthy and unhappy, then?
What is more interesting is that the videos and photos where taken by nelson silva TMZ and Sun confirmed. They guy is a professional photographer who happened to be there (yeah right and im fu… snowwhite) he had his gear yet he could not take any clear photo or video, he sucks iin his profession big time
Yeah, this is completely made up.
She’s happy and healthy and shopping and spending the day at kids’ sports events – but might not be well enough to attend trooping in june, where she just rides in a carriage and then waves from the balcony? Of course recovering from surgery doesn’t mean you are bedbound or can’t leave your house, but this still sounds fishy to me. KP is trying desperate to convince the world that Kate is healthy and recovering well……while providing zero evidence of that and throwing a tantrum over the possibility of Kate attending an event in JUNE. It just doesn’t add up.
If this was supposed to be “proof of life,” then KP should have carefully stage managed a pap pic and let the pic get published for a day or so before pulling it (like they did with the pub pictures a few years ago.) As it is, it comes across very much like KP insisting that everything is fine while behind the scenes its just a disaster.
This whole thing is like that moment in the Wizard of Oz where the wizard tells Dorothy and friends to “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” They’re trying to order us to stop talking. And it’s just morr Streisand effect.
What really shows that this is all made up is the detail that William was with her. He doesn’t want to be with her when he has to be. No way he’s going to accompany her to a “garden center” when he could be day drinking with his mates.
William could have taken a photo of her out and about himself since he is now such a keen photographer. Or they could have done a selfie together, since they are so relatable! Either option could have been released to the press and put the internet rumors to rest. But now we get another full week of BBC on the alert for a major announcement, CRex is dead, and Kate has a bag so she can’t take a photo.
Also, where were the children on a weekend? Wouldn’t they have loved a visit to the farm shop during this difficult time?
William was probably nowhere near her.
So what they are saying is that the last photo that the pap says he was hired to take at a certain location was staged only to show the back of her head but she went out publicly a week later to a market where coincidentally no one there took a photo of her? So she heavily doctored a photo to place an old image of her face on it to avoid the public seeing her but suddenly decided to go outside publicly for people to see her face without fear of her face being photographed? I don’t know what else to say about how stupid this is.
Don’t think about it for too long – it will make your head hurt.
I don’t know who at the palaces needs to hear this, but… Y’ALL.
This comms team is NOT it.
I mean, where is this supposed MBE diplomat of a secretary they gave to Huevos Rageros?
Since he was onboarded, we’ve seen:
1. Sketchy af statements from Huevo sticking his oar into an ongoing genocide purely to draw attention to himself and pretend he’s the new Lawrence of Arabia,
2. Four faked photos, and multiple articles claiming she’s everywhere and yet demonstrably nowhere at the same time,
4. Unrelenting abusive tantrums in the press about how much Huevo despises Hazza’s competence & confidence,
3. Bungling of Huevo’s schedule. First he was to be out as long as Huesa; then it was “just until she gets settled”; then the rota rattled their rat cage and suddenly Huevo’s doing drive bys disguised as fake hospital visits, drunken investitures, more Lawrence of Arabia-esque cosplay, notable blanking of a family event on his doorstep that other Euro royals managed to pull their thumbs out to attend, and has he even visited his own father since the dx was announced? Is Cluck still holding Huevo at arms’ length?
I mean I get it, Ian, your principal is exceedingly exhausting and a pile of unresolved childhood trauma in an adult man suit. But for pity’s sake, you were meant to be, hand chosen to be, a bulwark; how is it that everything got so much *worse* after you arrived? Why did you let the garden center story go out, Ian? If you aren’t up to the task, just admit that and resign, dude.
I had to laugh when the tweet was called out by Simon McCoy – the ex-BBC Royal reporter who usually looked like he’d rather report on something else. Anything else.
Just when you think it can’t get any more farcical, it does.
The daily fail printed the headline she was seen in the garden shop last week and accompanied it with photos from last year.
They changed it when commenters pointed out it was very misleading.
On another note Kate looks extremely thin in that pic with the floral dress and plant.
Liz- those pics are still there on that article in the Fail. Ons almost looks like she’s giving a thumbs up to the camera.
Rapunzel – yes, it like they’re playing games. Switched headlines when they saw the comments. All clickbait revenue for them
Why on earth was she ‘gardening’ while wearing a floaty dress & espadrilles & no gloves? Did they not tell her what she was going to be doing that day?
Like Willy jogging in central park when he can’t stand up. Or will and Kate and the kids at the local pub for lunch. Or will and Kate basically doing anything together other than looks would kill. That kind of stuff? Or will and Kate working, that’s the biggest joke.
It’s such a weird story… I think it wants to play in to the conspiracy side of things, as that is what is going to get them international clicks. Could there be an embargo on any pap/private images of her? Based on the brouhaha of that Backgrid image in the car… I’m wondering if the press are closing ranks and waiting for a better scoop? That still does not explain why a British citizen would not approach TMZ or Backgrid for a very high priced image,.. (I like to game things out and Occam razor things … which for me is there is no sighting.. the Sun is just making money on a planted story)
When H&M took their kids to 4th of July parade, people around them took some pics and uploaded to their personal facebook account. People, especially old people, wouldn’t think of selling them, but would definitely share them on their facebook or twitter account. This is an international news now, everyone knows it is newsworthy to see Kate in the wild.
Yeah… fair enough. Kate wasn’t there and the Sun was probably leaked the info and they ran with it knowing the negative and positive attention it would get. Sounds like a sound business decision for bottomcrawing scum.
Agreed that a member of the public wouldn’t have to be motivated by money to take and post a picture. Just the notoriety would be enough for many.
The rules in the UK say that if you are out in a public area people can take photographs of you. It’s only on private land that you can’t be photographed. I’m not sure given that the Farm Shop will be on Crown land, whether it counts or not but it is open to the public, so people could take photographs and they could be published? is there anybody who knows more about the legal aspects?
Maybe she did go and maybe she didn’t and it was just some KP staffer in a Kate wig. It doesn’t matter because the internet won’t believe them after the whole photo situation. I don’t have any sympathy or understanding because this mess was entirely their making.
What the public will believe is a video message from Kate explaining where the hell she’s been. We are way past the point of ‘privacy’ now, considering KP squandered it by their ‘nothing to see here’ panic-messaging. All I know is that this will be an absolute nightmare for Kate. A woman who has never spoken off-cue about anything in her life, let alone herself. And it’s not like she can come out and say she’s had botched plastic surgery or god-forbid a mental breakdown. My guess is if they’re forced to say something it will be along the lines of gastric issues (Crohn’s) and nothing more will be said on the matter.
If they had just kept with the “we’re not telling you anything,” the public would have gotten bored with this. They didn’t have to provide (what’s the count now?) 4 fake photos/sightings.
If she looked healthy why did she post a fake mother’s day photo?
Meanwhile… a royal headline on the Fail:
“Kings and royal princes were the rock stars of their day – with the rampant sex life and the mistresses to suit. Shame about the murder, blackmail and kidnapping along the way…”
Interesting historical reminder…. no?
Oh, snap!
Looks like not much has changed since the middle ages…not much at all…
Them releasing yet another bs Kate sighting just tells me that now they’re playing games. They had to know the reaction a non-documented “sighting” would garner after the back-to-back-to-back faked proof of life photos, and yet they did it anyway. So clearly they want to stoke speculation.
Remember when Harry said if a palace plan gets out they no longer can pursue that plan? (said about the Sussexes moving to S Africa, which was nixed after the story leaked). I’ve long thought that Kate’s “surgery” was more of a Hail Mary move on her part to delay or prevent a separation announcement. I think she succeeded, at least temporarily – the “surgery” & now “recovery” threw enough of a wrench in the plans that divorce and Rose rumors started surfacing in official media stories. So, if divorce and acceptance of a new spouse was the plan for Will, palace protocol would dictate it has to be abandoned because it’s leaked.
Obviously Will would throw a tantrum at that, and his subsequent failures and gaffs emboldened Kate and Carole to claw their way out of their rota blackout to start planting some stories of their own, namely the TMZ and Page 6 sightings. It’s really turning into such a circus that the only surefire way to get this to go away is for Kate to emerge, buttoned and keen. Which would obviously be a win for Team Keen. And on the other side, we have more and more photos “taken” by Kate being ripped to shreds as essentially docotoring historic records – make no mistake, those are sh*ts being fired at Kate from inside the palace.
It really does feel like they’re just playing games at this point. This story is silly, disrespectful to the public and arrogant. The only true thing is that they’re all liars who play games.
Agreed, this is a blatant middle finger to the public who has to pay for the Wails.
The Daily Mail’s top story comments on the lack of photo evidence and has her listed as “Kate Middleton”. Am I wrong that they haven’’t used that in a while? They usually use Princess Kate or the Princess of Wales. Interesting.
Going back to the original January press release about abdominal procedure; nothing else they say is true so why did we believe this? The comments are down the rabbit hole speculating on what kind of abdominal surgery would cause a long recovery. What if there was never any such event and it was a smokescreen for something else? Why do we assume that” just this once” they are being truthful when history proves the opposite?
So no excuse anymore not to attend Easter Sunday service.
Watching The Suns coverage I am wondering what was included in Willy’s settlement with The Sun, probably more than just a considerable amount of money.
They got him on camera for posterity calling Diana paranoid, through an undisclosed amount of money and threats to out his personal information/kompromat. Now they have gotten the use out of him they will resume being their vicious selves.
Elvis has left the building! My God, they British Media obviously failed to get their “lying” badge in Boy Scouts, or they wouldn’t be so TERRIBLE at it. Are they just trying to feed the frenzy and turn everyone into proof-of-life Kate truthers???
I wonder if people can see the irony that we are supposed to believe a RUMOR she was seen out and about (with no proof) yet we should not believe the RUMORS of the alleged affair.
You guys, it was just the KP gopher in a wiglet out for a weekend stroll. This whole thing is more hilarious by the day. I guess “pics or it didn’t happen” means nothing to them.
Maybe they got Ann to put on a wig and walk around. Now there is a funny SNL skit,
They have hired Katy Holmes to play Kate 2.0 for six months or so. There will be no Kate 3.0, this model is being discontinued fall ’24. /s
Someone on SNL is upset they’re on a break!
I still don’t understand why everyone seems to be taking it for granted that Kate is actually recovering from an operation; the palace is lying about everything but they were telling the truth about that? Everyone is saying how squirrelly the royals are being and how nothing adds up yet are still giving the benefit of the doubt that the original story is authentic and checks out? That they are clearly hiding something but the “planned surgery” story that kicked all of this off in the first place must be genuine? Why?
You are absolutely right! All that is deflection! something really bad is wrong (probably with the heir, as he’s always protected) and they are hiding it…it’s absurd, no matter how serious Kate’s”surgery ” was, for the heir to have worked only for 10 days maximum since new year while the king is seriously ill and to take one further month for his children break … come on! Did Charles took such a long time to be with his children when Diana died ? I know they were divorced and I know he isn’t a great father but he always fulfilled his role as a heir and William should be compared to him…after all what makes us believe that he is such a hand on father appart from some photos and the fact that his children seem somewhat more relaxed with him than Kate?
Don’t forget “friends” and staff at the palaces saying they were shocked to hear of Huesa’s “planned” surgery.
Offices of senior royals spend their days coordinating diaries, we’re told; so how was it that her own staff were not aware of an upcoming surgery that would involve most of a year in recovery?
How was it that zero offices of the other senior royals coordinated to come up with an effective strategy to cover the gaps?
And why announce spring visits to the Pope et al if you knew she was going to be off duty the bulk of the year?
It doesn’t make sense, the palaces are clearly engaged in a pathetically bad coverup, and it cannot sustain.
I myself have many doubts, and give them the benefit of nothing except baseline good will that any creature deserves. I do not trust Will, especially, or KP, or Kate, or, to a lesser degree BP and Charles. Not Camilla certainly. There are three or four possible story lines at this point and my mind can’t really help searching for pro or contrary evidence for each. But it has nothing to do with that they say. 1. Intestinal resection plus stoma plus ED tx or therapy after stroke. 2. Tx for domestic violence, minor to life threatening, and possible divorce negotiations. 3. Mental health leave plus tx. (tx = therapy) plus possible divorce negotiations. Willy looks like he might be thinking better of the divorce right now, as it would be an absolute loser move that would stain him forever. But he is an idiot, so, there’s that.
I am assuming all the cellphone cameras turned off and bowed down in respect for her. The iPhones went into automatic lockdown and the Samsung Galaxies shut down to the sounds of the BS coming from KP. I didn’t know Khate had the power to shut these phones down with the magnitude of her presence. Now, THIS is the story the RR missed.
@Rapunzel, the press is definitely rattling KPs cage! They are getting the clicks from the royal groupies who believe dear Kate is just recovering, whilst at the same time slipping in articles that show they don’t believe a word of KP’s lies. Playing both ends against the middle and getting tons of clicks.
Well, what I can understand from the article is that at least she’s recuperating and no longer at deaths door…remember the deafening silence of the first month and more? It was as everybody was afraid to write something similar in case they were caught lying…they don’t seem to care anymore, so she’s probably getting better from whatever she had..there’s seem to be some sort of race with time so that she would look OK for her first appearance…prepare yourself for the praise and admiration she would receive when she returns 🙄
Except we still don’t know anything about her health or whereabouts.
This is a clearly fake article so none of it can be believed or used to provide proof that she is getting better or that she is at Windsor.
Kate is still missing.
It really does mark a turn in coverage that they are now venturing to print stories, fake or not, about how she’s doing.
I find it obnoxious that they have not done more to reassure the public. If she is well enough to go to a farm store, there should have been real photos and updates all along. These aren’t regular people. They have a responsibility.
It would seem that since people are online accusing the heir to the throne of m*rder, Willy himself would have insisted on someone taking a picture of him and Kate together. We are beyond the planting of fake stories with no pictures stage Willy. Although after the Mothers Day debacle, people will have a hard time believing even a picture.
After this weekend on Twitter I was sure Burger King was going down for some offense that can only be DMed to the curious but not publicly posted for fear of legal repurcussions. But at this point how would the palace’s legal team ever keep up?
Good Lord, just shut up! Stop telling lies especially ridiculously obvious lies, all they’re doing is focusing people to catch them in their BS. How can a bunch of professionals e so inept?
At what point can we perceive that the bad messaging from KP’s ‘professional PR team’ is actually a cry for help from staff?
So a “journalist” (using that loosely) was at said garden center (why) in time to get a quote from “onlookers”… but didn’t quite get a first-hand glance? How long to people hang about in a garden center? What, did “journo” walk up to some random person all “Hey, see anything interesting today?”
And as for sports games – NEVER in a child’s life are mom and dad’s cameras front and center more than when johnny’s on the pitch. No way in sam hill hell were “they” there and not one person posted it.
Nice try, though. 1 point for minimum effort.
This feels like a Middleton story – they used to do this a LOT early in the marriage when they were living in Wales. It was often ‘Kate was seen happily buying pizza in the local Sainsburys’.
Why would the Middletons cooperate with this? Its their daughter that’s “missing”? This story is to try and stop the rumors that Baldemort did something awful to Keen. ” Look, he can’t be abusing her, they’re going shopping and to their kids events together! ” As if both things can’t be true. Seriously, where is Kate?
If its true that William is trying to push her completely into the background given all the nonsense of will she / won’t she be seen at Easter this is the Mids telling us that she’s recovered enough to be out and about at events. There is conflicting narratives at play here and the clownshow of their own making is getting worse hour by hour.
Because KP said at the outset no updates will be given unless significant and she will return after Easter. Middleton’s and Kate have other ideas..the exclusive to Page 6..TMZ Audi school run pap shot, the Frankenphoto that KP made Kate apologize for because she did it all herself..now the Windsor farm market and kids sports..Kate and her mother are desperate to get info out.
@Digital Unicorn, the conflicting reports could definitely be chalked up to War of the Waleses 2.0.
The Middleton’s are definitely in the middle of all this.
At one point I was expecting them to call a press conference.
I read somewhere that it was a a case of the Middletons vs the Windsors…..so let us see.
This could totally be a Middleton move. See no divorce, they were seen together. Yet this is also a typical move before a divorce is announced.
How convenient that there is no photo evidence of this bogus sightings of Kate. Color me shocked😂
I find it hard to fathom after this debacle, that the British public would still be happy to fund these fibbers and layabouts.
So she watched her kids taking part “in sports”? What sport? All 3 of them doing the same “sport”? Were they with other kids? It’s almost like a robot writing this garbage. Or someone who think we’re all stupid. Yeah the peasants won’t ask for more details. Just write kids playing “sports”.
Haha, if we find out this was written by AI and this is a frankenarticle I am going to lose my mind from laughter.
Good point! When I and my siblings were at School (private boarding and day schools), then we did not have the same sports at the same time. My brother played rugby and cricket, my sister played rounders (she was younger) and I played hockey and lacrosse. Never did we play all these sports at the same time. That’s the thing about British fee paying schools, they arrange the sports so that Mumsy and Pater can attend all the fixtures for multiple siblings if they so wish, and won’t lump all the sports together, because nothing says pissed off like a parent who is paying a fortune in fees being denied seeing one kids match and missing another kids match. And Lambrook is co ed, so I think this is a blatant lie imo.
That’s something that had me thinking, what sport is there that all three kids could participate at the same time? Was this one of those ‘sports days’ they have in the UK? Because as somebody else pointed out, the Lambrook School website didn’t mention such an event on its calendar.
@Beanie Bean – Sports Day used to be a grand finale to the end of the summer term when we were at school, but that was many years ago! It was where the school put on lavish teas and was almost like a garden party with silver engraved cups (trophies) being given out, and siblings who attended other schools were there dressed in their school blazers and boater hats etc. but during the year, Saturday mornings was when the sports matches took place, with all the schools in the leagues who would coordinate with each other. My school (in Dorset) played Downe House (where I believe Kate went at one time) and it was quite a journey there and back. But as I say, perhaps things have now changed, but I still don’t believe that all three Cambs kids were doing sports on one particular Saturday morning. The just couldn’t cover the vast amount of sports with all the different age groups in one morning. A lie imo.
Thanks, @Belinda! Sounds like fun!
She is well enough go to a store but can’t do any zoom calls and meetings? I don’t know if that would fly with too many employers…
That is kinda of a bummer with the whole WFH thing! Even if you’re feeling crappy, you can still work & often are expected to! What’s a cold now that you’re at home sharing your germs with only your family rather than your colleagues?
If the British media is still continuing with its moratorium on releasing photos of her, why haven’t they been snapped up by TMZ? The American press seems to be just as invested in the “where’s Kate???” mystery as everyone else and it’s simply not possible that she was seen there without someone sneaking out their phone and getting a pic. Another day another batch of fresh BS from the BM via Willbur and his crack comms team.
I would say the American public are even more invested in “where’s Kate” at this point. I’m in NY but was talking to my friends in London yesterday and they didn’t know there was anything weird going on. They hadn’t even heard about Rose.
I can see that. Americans have no deference towards the monarchy so the whole where is Kate saga is more about a lack of trust in hereditary rule. Add in a missing white princess and it’s a dateline episode. It’s also interesting to watch the mess from somewhere else. We have enough mess here with trump so it’s something to follow that will mostly have very little impact our actual lives. I hope Kate is healthy for her kids but we are mostly watching for the messy pr moves from a tax-funded cultish mafia-like system.
And this is the bullsh*t that the Rota want you to believe that Harry “misses”. You can love your family and not want to be around them. Two things can be true.
They are really insulting our intelligence with this one. She was “out and about”, people saw her but not one person had their cell with them to take a pic? Like we’re in 1994 and not 2024? Umm OK sure. It’s like it’s a bigfoot sighting. No evidence at all but people swear they saw it.
I haven’t posted frequently in the last 2 weeks because I’ve been traveling for work but I’ve been reading all the articles about KateGate (I have a backlist of articles to get through from last week).
As for this garden center sighting, it does sound like a place Kate would be spotted KP really needs to stop with the terrible car photos and sightings without any pictures. At this point, they’ve messed up so badly that no one will believe anything until we get video of Kate walking and talking.
VilleRose, see Cher Horowitz under #1 above, where she said “– its not a garden centre, it’s just bougie deli type shop where you can buy fancy produce from the Windsor grounds.”
Maybe she was buying Easter presents for her many grown-up girlfriends.
(She has no friends. And no one buys Easter presents for grown-ups. This is, like the Sun story, made-up.)
Did anyone see big foot at the farmers market as well?
Yeah I think I saw him chasing the Easter Bunny down around where the bushes are.
What if William was out with one of his mistresses but she looks so much like Kate that people thought it was her ? At that point a blurry photo might not cut it, people will still dive into conspiracy theories territory.
Wow, must have been one of those super high end garden centers where they force you to leave your phone at the door, huh?
Happy and Healthy but had to fake a photo with her kids a week ago? Out and about but can’t zoom for her charities? I think she will turn up on easter, looking herself. I don’t think they will bring it up again unless its for pr. I could see them making a “private donation” to a charity dealing with whatever she had done and also her using it in the future as “work”. Had they just put out the real photo, with her looking like she’s recovering from a surgery, i think it would have done huge pr for them. She would have been praised to the moon and back by everyone for it. Now its just creepy royalist crying over her and still in the same sentence attacking Meghan and her kids. I would guess its something she finds embarrassing and she doesn’t look quite herself yet.
“She would have been praised to the moon and back by everyone for it” – that’s it. There’s a killer PR strategy in here, but they aren’t taking it. So it must be because they can’t. I know their PR has been dumb as a box of wiglets, but surely they wouldn’t pass up an opportunity that would be SO easy to perform and so guaranteed to work.
Shopping and attending her children’s sports events, but not able to even send a video message or a someone to represent her with the Irish guards St. Patrick’s Day parade is not a good look for Kate. She is derelict in her royal duties, then. This knee-jerk response to what is being said on SM about Kate’s non-appearance is not being crafted by someone very smart. A picture, or they made it up, like they seem to be doing with everything these days.
Spitballing here, William is in inpatient rehab. No one believes he’s taking care of the kids.
i don’t believe it. Pics or it didn’t happen.
If they feel like they can’t do anything right, well, they can’t. They earned it.
Sorry KP, you reap what you sow. Unbelievable they continue to f*** this up SO. BADLY.
It also reported she insists on cooking all her children’s meals. First of all, who is in a position to report this? Secondly, aren’t these the same kids who love to get up to wholesome hijinx in the kitchen and serve their mom breakfast in bed? She can insist it is more work to clean up after them, but how much mess can a ten year old make popping some toast and boiling an egg? The palace PR aides are so bad at this.
Note to KP. Most every man, woman and child has a small internet connected computer and camera (cellphone) with them at all times. If Kate had set foot in public, someone would have snapped a pic and sold it for big money. These fake stories fly in the rota, but not with the world press who have no vested interest in the survival of the monarchy. This entire near 3 month drama is stranger than anything Chris Carter and company ever dreamed up.
I saw Kate just previous day in Lidl and then I bumped into Elvis.I could not believe my luck. But sorry guys didn’t take any photos.
Personally, I think Will has been frantically searching for a Kate lookalike since January (or maybe has found one, but needs a few plastic surgery tweaks to be able to fully pass for Kate) to impersonate Kate from here on out. Because Kate is no longer with us.
As mentioned the public will be even more brutal on their next fu$&ck up. These idiots are so incompetent will prob see one soon.
This article has a community note on Twitter as Misleading. And Ks other photo with QE2 and her grandkids(without Archie or Lili) was deemed altered 😆.
The BRF and the BMs credibility is literally down the sh&@thole..The public won’t forget 😆 We’re not stupid as they think.
I also just saw Obama had visited Sunak today on an undisclosed visit. Interesting….
LOL NY Mag just published a column titled “Kate Middleton Spotted … by Unnamed Sources Who Took No Photos”.
They keep making it worse. Every step is a misstep. I’m embarrassed for them.
At least they’re learning… They can’t put out another fake photo … because now people will be looking at it closely to see what’s fake… so they do the thing that they’ve always done and always got away with , …just a fake story. …He said she said.. “sources” who remain unnamed, unseen, and unquestioned .. it’s worked a treat smearing the Sussexes , a “friend “ of William said he saw them at a garden store…
Maybe it’s time they started questioning these unnamed “friends” and sources as much as that questioning the fake photis … but no .. the story has been published all around the world, including in my own country as a fact, while running an old picture of Kate , that could be presumed to have been taken a garden store … if anyone doesn’t look too closely..
Why wouldn’t they just say that then? It would get her crazy sympathy. Enough to coast on for a decade at least. If somethings wrong with her face, its either from cosmetic surgery or DV. Or could be both although I hope not.
BREAKING: The Sun just ran the photo. The Fail ran it, too (with The Sun watermark). It’s 9:15 pm in Paris.
So they did a pap stroll, interesting choice. If she is in that much of a good health, they have been weird for these past few weeks just for the sake of being weird. It’s insane.
There is a photo. Daily Mail
Looks like holiday decorations in the background. If it *is* her, this video was taken in late November, early December – pre “health emergency” and “abdominal surgery.”
The most simple and obvious solution at the very start of this escandaloso would been to have filmed a quick video of her hands holding get well cards with her voice saying thank you. Now, after all the busted lies, they should have had a trusted BBC or Sky cameraman shoot video kf Kate and the kids waving from across a field or summat.
Why will they still not provide an “official” video or let her voice be heard? Where are Kate and the kids?
Wow Katesquatch has been photographed. It’s clearly been done on a potato camera so we know, by standards for all UFO and cryptid sightings that it’s legit!
She looks extremely thin, even more than we had been used to seeing. That’s not a criticism, it’s an observation that may be relevant to her health status, as it is for many of us. I hope she is feeling stronger every day. I’m glad to see she’s not in a dire condition as was once feared. And as I myself once feared.
My question: in the TMZ video, Huevos Rageros looks like he’s trying to hide under his cap.
On the Windsor Estate?? Why?? It’s not like they’d bother him if he was recognized. They’re estate workers?
This woman, whomever she is, is also apparently speedwalking. A remarkable feat for someone we were told would be completely out of commission for nine months out of twelve because of “abdominal surgery”. Smiley and bouncy? Respectfully, dafuq?
All of this is just palaces feeling pressure to shut up public scrutiny, just like they tried with FOUR FAKED PHOTOS RELEASED IN A ROW.
The story went out this morning with no pics or evidence it actually happened. They thought job done, back to naptime, and then the internet fell on them.
Panic ensues, someone gets an idea to fake a pap walk. But Huesa isn’t in Windsor! What do? Get another doppleganger. They’re easy as heck to find, because Huevos Rageros plays the field like he’s in the English Premier League and He Has A Type.
My two cents: this is one of Huevos’ girlfriends, and they got caught out, and Murdoch is “doing him this favor” by trying to make Kate happen, and Huevos is gonna owe him big later on.
It’s either someone else or… this was all for a facelift. those cheeks were up high and the jowls were gone.
Weird that she can lift a bag and speed walk with no problem, but she couldn’t go to the Irish guard to stand there the next day.
All this really proves is that Someone in KP is reading Kaiser’s columns.
Because we’ve been saying for 2 months: pics or it didn’t happen. Where’s the twee video snippet of her surrounded by her kids giving her cards?
Instead they’ve got some cack handed intern named Gerrold or something holding a beat up burner iPhone at leagues away.
Why is the setting always set to “sh-tty quality” when they want to hide something? The quality of the vid and the photos is absolute garbage. That’s how you know they’re still on their shady ass bs.
If this was really her, if all this Farm Shop visit was really above board, it’d be in glowing HD and they’d have invited the entire Rota photo corps out to snap her. This isn’t even giving papped. This is giving fakey papped. Staged to quiet rumors.
Which are now blazing again, because KP’s entire staff are as technically incompetent as they are moral cowards.
Is it just me or does this not look like Keen at all?? Her gait doesn’t look like Keen, her leg to torso proportions look off (legs too long, unless she really had leg-lengthening surgery), and her face doesn’t look like her. And the cheek bones (face shape) are standing out from across the parking lot! In fact it looks more like Rose than Keen, IMO.
Plus, if she can speed walk while carrying a heavy bag how is she still too sick to work?! And no one they pass looks at them! I can understand if bystanders have been told not to take photos, but no one is even noticing them walking by? Makes no kind of sense.
I will pee my pants laughing if Pegs has hired a body double or dragged Rose out into his shenanigans.
Look at her calves, she has skinny Meghan legs now, whereas she has always had more curvy muscular legs in the past.
As someone who watches her posture, I feel like the gait is off. But I’m honestly getting tired of this fuckery. This is coy game playing bs from KP. Maybe they like that attention and the clicks or at least they like that it makes Murdoch of the sun page 6 tmz and the times happy. For now.
@Jais I feel the same, I’m so sick of looking at her now. Hopefully this is her, with a facelift, and the British taxpayers are fine with her taking 9 months off to “recover.”
At least nothing bad has happened to her, but this woman and KP and PW are completely insane and they look like huge liars.
Currently on Twitter/X they are cleaning up the blurred pic and it sure doesn’t look like Kate Check out “Just2_U_” on the site.
I think she’s right. I would post a link if I could but I’m too much a luddite to know how to do it.
Just saw the Sun photos… and the TMZ video.
Nah, that ain’t her.
This is Murdoch’s work in cahoots with W and his palace hobgoblins.
He owns all the outlets this is running in. He also owns William. The coverup continues.
If this was real, then it would be all over the BBC.
Also? If that really is Kate, she is clearly well enough to show up to her basic ass job along with her basic ass husband.
If she’s that smiley, she can workey.
+100 Doesn’t look like her. But if it is, and if she’s so happy and well, why has she been in complete hiding for ALL THESE MONTHS?!?! #FakeKate
It’s her just really really skinny. Skinnier than the wedding. Not healthy at all. How did her face go from so puffy a week ago to this?
Ol’ girl looks 15 years younger.
Did you see the size of the bag she was carrying? AFTER “ABDOMINAL SURGERY”?
Mind that this was a woman whom we were told would need to rest for NINE MONTHS post op. They said that with a straight face. Reiterated with their whole chest, to every media outlet.
If she’s well enough to carry loads, then she’s well enough to pin shamrocks on a g-d mascot dog. So why didn’t she show her basic ass up to greet the Irish Guards yesterday??
If the Spanish press, Calleja et al was right in their original reporting, then Easter weekend is going to be an absolute trip. If she’s not seen, in HD, herself, no DupliKates, by end of April, they’re f-cked.
Here’s a side by side comparison of the alleged W+K in the video today (?) with a confirmed W+K at an earlier time. This doesn’t look like her. Moreover, I’m not even sure that the man in the TMZ video is William. Why are they so bad at this!? https://www.threads.net/@houseofmabeline/post/C4rGVYorsQ6/?xmt=AQGztzTAI82VbJiV7FOt1b9mvcWsbWLjb-JpEIIr12fTCg
@wheresmytiara I think last week Concha said that she was recuperating at home still under the supervision of doctors at the palace and hospital. That the progress wasn’t as fast as they hoped but they are still hoping for Easter Day.
My gut reaction was NOPE too, but I’m trying not to be too conspiratorial. (But, yeeeeeah, “Kate” wasn’t my first guess.)
@lauren exactly! She has the profile of someone much younger here.
The legs are too long to be her, and this woman looks to be 30 or younger. The blush stripes were a nice touch for the quasi authentic look.
She’s walking quite well & quite quickly, she’s carrying a bag with some weight, she’s smiling & chatting with William–the same guy who has ignored her in public for these last 6-9 months. I dunno, it’s weird. The hair doesn’t look real, full on wig. And when have we ever, EVER, seen Kate wear her socks like that? And what are they, anyway? Shearling lined wool? Does she need specialty socks for some reason?
If that’s Kate (…), then I want to know exactly what kind of abdominal surgery she got because, man, it’s like a miracle, it must be some new wizardry AI surgery that just working on your abdomen you get to look 20+ years younger, gazelle-like fit, and oh boy, she is almost luminous, haven’t seen Kate like this in more than a decade, maybe never…oh I want to know everything, the surgeon’s name, the clinic, the procedure, I don’t have much now, but whatever it costs I’ll work hard, I’ll make the money, it really *is* worth the effort… lifting? this is something else entirely, totally another planet… see we talk her down yet she is a pioneer woman who goes around experimenting with the latest cutting-edge findings of modern technology…
@MollyF: IKR?? 🤣 Thanks for that, I just sprayed water all over my phone, but it was well worth it! I need that surgery too.
I’m sure this was filmed at a Four Seasons Total Landscaping outlet. 🙃
I’m still convinced that she’s in trouble but one thing the RRs, their fake stories, and stupid easily-disproven lies has accomplished is to piss me off to the point where I don’t care anymore. I’m angry that I felt so much concern for her well-being, only to be continually slapped in the face for it by KP’s arrogance and disregard for all of us who (and we don’t even like her!!)dared worry about her. I won’t be surprised if she turns up either dead or fine.
Kate returned! TMZ got the video. The Sun wasn’t lying apparently, which is a rare victory for them. She looks healthy, so I am gonna guess the first speculations about W&K taking this health crisis as an opportunity for a long holiday was right.
That’s the only conclusion I can draw looking at this video. She’s carrying a huge bag and practically skipping. If this is her, I feel like people will have questions about why she’s been hiding and manipulating photos and why she needs another month off of work.
This is definitely W&K (with screen shots of the metadata to verify date/time/loc) On one hand, it’s great she’s alive and seemingly well. But again, they’re still not thinking this through. She’s supposed to be recovering from serious surgery, and her husband is letting her carry a large stuffed bag?. Perhaps it’s just full of crackers, but it doesn’t feed the story well does it! As with any serious abdominal surgery, you are not allowed to lift anything approaching 2.5kg!
The Windsors are so much like the Trump clan with their lies and grifts. Without parental money and legacy connection, none of these people would have amounted to anything. Or in the case of Javanka, wanna be councilors of state. The only big difference between the two clans is one is royal and gets to access taxpayers dollars and benefits and because of special exemptions, they don’t have to follow the laws like ordinary citizens. This is how they get to keep their dodgy wealth and shady stuff hidden.
Both families rely on the right wing press to lie for them. Instead of Hannity and Tucker Carlson, they have Tominey and Piers Morgan. Instead of Trump’s Mannafort, they have Dan Strauss and the latest, ex Whitehall ubermensch.
Couldn’t have said it better, Kit!
I cannot believe anyone thinks it’s them, and I note there’s no official comment. When it comes out that it’s a suspiciously similar-looking couple (for hire), they can say, “Well, WE never said it was.” Plausible deniability.
Yeah…the lower half of that woman’s face looks completely different from Kate’s imo: sharper jawline, prominent chin…hell, her face in general looks more heart-shaped while Kate’s has always been round, even at her thinnest. Very bizarre. In the video, she’s also practically speed walking and holding bags…not what you’d expect for someone who supposedly went through “abdominal surgery” and was said to need an extensive recovery period.
Yeah the heart shaped face looks weird. Very prominent cheekbones that seem off and a puppy dog happy eagerness compared to the guy in the cap looking down. Even their kids don’t act that way around Pegs, he’s the freaking heir to the throne. The DM was chock full of people saying it was not Kate,
Holding my judgment until she talks because face lifts happen. Lmao I’d love to see Carole put together a rebuttal here.
TMZ = “not our fault”
And again, the papers made a huge thing about refusing to publish the photos with Kate her mom. So what makes this video/pic okay for the sun to publish? It’s bc it’s a KP setup. The hypocrisy and fakery is real.
Obviously a set up. I couldn’t say for sure whether it was her in the picture, but it looks like her in the video. She looks very thin, though walking easily. I’d say this was done to finally show proof of life. But has anything changed? Will she be banished or has she won the war of the wails?
I’m operating under the assumption that’s her and I’m truly confused as to why they faked that photo and jumped for the MoD for announcing her appearance in JUNE when she looks completely fine and recovered. What the heck are they doing??
The only thing I can think of is that during her ‘health issue’, egg thought this was his chance to divorce her and bring in his alleged ‘new woman’. But as usual, he couldn’t follow advice from his advisors, resulting in the circus we’ve seen. Perhaps Kate and her mother dug their heels in and what we’re seeing today is their victory in the war of the wails? I notice she’s smiling, egg – not so much. I doubt she’s going anywhere now. Well played Middletons!
That is for sure her. You can tell in the video but she looks normal. So they are now gonna take 4 weeks off and get no pushback from the British media. Unbelievable!
And nope she’s not going anywhere. I don’t know why people thought different when her parents are struggling with fiances. She most likely got a nice cushion like melania by holding out.
Meanwhile if she can walk and do all that she can easily still do charity videos and attend 30 min events.
Please Sussex fans stop giving this woman attention.
It is very confusing–those previous fake photo releases? The two car ones, the one with kids? WHY??? If she’s this well, then, what was the issue?
I operated under the assumption it was her for the Mother’s Day photo. Fr I did. And felt a fool when it wasn’t. So at this point, I’m done. Maybe it’s her. Maybe it’s not. Why the fuck should I believe this obviously staged pap walk? It could be her. Idk! Someone could reveal its not her and I wouldn’t be surprised. I actually hate this. It’s stupid and exhausting and it’s KPs fault.
It looks like her, but she does not look healthy.
Healthy enough to speed walk while carrying grocery bags though
What do you mean she doesn’t look healthy? It’s a grainy vid and she looks fine. If it’s her. But no that person walking looks fine.
Agreed. She’s lost a lot of weight and muscle mass, if that’s her. And not wearing makeup.
All of these comments saying she’s had facial surgery are nuts. Have any of them actually seen people after a major operation? This is par for the course, especially after abdominal surgery and a months-long lack of vitamin absorption.
If it’s Kate, she got a new face and new ears, somehow lost some inches of her height, and is walking really fast in pretty tight clothes for someone recovering from abdominal surgery. Also, she is somehow happy to be around William all the sudden.
This!!
agree
If that’s her, she’s had Jennifer Grey levels of plastic surgery altering her face.
She’s always been quite a bit shorter than William, she’s just usually in heels. It’s the at ease with William part, and he with her, that I don’t get.
Nope. I don’t think it’s her or him . She’s way too jaunty, the walk doesn’t look right and why would he wear a cap on the Royal estate?
Sticking my head back down the rabbit hole.
I’m with you
None of the people around them look at Kate once. A woman who hasn’t been seen in public for months would attract at least a double take. And I’ve watched enough videos to know that you often hear commentary from the person filming. “Oh, look. It’s Kate!” But not this time.
Ok nobody else is even remotely looking at them?? And the grainy recording is a give away for being fake. I actually don’t think that’s Will or Kate. My take is that they are look alikes and TMZ was paid to record them as if it was a sighting.
yap..
casting open for next videos and/or photo shoot
send your pics to
KP_casting.KandW@adelaide-windsor.co.uk
under 30y.o. only
Thank you
They both clearly look at the camera, so they not only know that person was there but it’s likely a set up scenario, aka ‘pap stroll’.
Bingo
Her cheeks look bizarre ,very pointy while she has obviously lost a ton of weight,she looks tiny even in those baggy clothes.
Agree here…she looks like she lost a lot of weight ..her clothes really hang on her frame. Her lower jaw looks oddly gaunt… Strange her cheeks are still full – preexisting implants?
Another poster said her walk looks different. I guess we have never seen her speed walk?
We’ve been played, people. I think that is her – janky wig, extreme thinness and all – and judging by the hop, skip and jump in her step there is no stoma and no stroke, nothing to see here folks. Settlement negotiations went extremely in her favor and she’s back on board. William looks suitably unamused but he played along at his most recent engagement chatting heartily about “his wife being the arty one.”
In sports terms, one of the key players on the team has re-upped for another 10 years or so (until George is of age) and got lots of nice bonuses in the bargain, hence the happy skipping and willingness to play ball. I’m thinking Frogmore House with full reno, since they can’t get Royal Lodge?
But not to work, of course! That will be MAYBE Easter, then Trooping, then Wimbledon (count on it), the usual Balmoral Sunday car photo and then nothing until October because something something stress health Harry and Meghan. Count on it! They are predictable as rain in Scotland….
I live in Scotland and it does rain every day 😀🌧️
Right?
Agree – and going by the elongated ears and strange tightness of the face that doesn’t look like her.. a facelift that didn’t really go very well.
There are Christmas decorations up. Does anyone live close to here to verify if they actually have those decorations up 2 wks before Easter? This is absolutely insane IMO. She either had a facelift or this is a really old staged pap shot of them where she looks younger. Or it simply isn’t her. If its her (even an old video) WTF? She did this for attention. In the video, you can actually see William spot the camera, said something to Kate and she then spots it to. Then she does her little happy pap walk for the camera. Just crazy.
Good catch on the Christmas decorations
A few British people called in to “in royal news” on IG and one of them says they go to Windsor farm all the time and those huts are only up during the Christmas season.
I completely believe them!! This whole thing is totally insane! I wonder if its an old staged pap photo of them . I mean I don’t buy that it was some random person that caught the footage and sold it because they literally both looked directly over to the camera as if they already knew it was there.
WaPo says they are able to confirm the location but not the date. 🤷🏻♀️
That would mean this was taped way in advance. Creepy. (Although TMZ claims the metadata checks out.)
I watched it over and over and could not see any Christmas decorations. Where should I be looking?
OK. So much for not commenting on Kate Middleton! Kate has a lot of grey. Going by her hair when it’s due a colour, I’d say 50 per cent of her hair, verging onwards towards 60/70, is now grey – hence why she has gone lighter over the years, away from brunette proper, and with lights. This is nearly dark brown/black. No woman would decide now’s the time for a radical re colour. And most women after surgery at home don’t get their hair coloured full stop. Kate’s hair will now either be salt and pepper roots galore, or, if she’s been well enough to have it styled, it’ll be as light as usual. This is a double.
Kate has worn wigs and I suspect it is that. Plus the hair looks like straw.
But they have lied so much it is possible to believe anything with them.
But why wear a wig if the whole purpose was to be clearly you and spottable?
Regarding the Update: 1) a bit of a stretch to have us believe that this was taken this weekend given her rather bloated appearance, if that was her, in the photo driving out with her mother not long ago. 2). If this video was indeed shot on Saturday, why didn’t she show up for the Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Guards event the next day? I would think they wouldn’t be too happy about Kate fobbing them off yet again to shop.
TMZ&The Sun – Murdoch owned, suspicious
Piers Morgan immediately crowing that it should stop the speculation, laughably suspicious
It:
A: Doesn’t look like Kate, the face is too heart shaped, ears look elfin, Spock like
B: again, blurry and indeterminate footage designed to be difficult to view her at close detail
C: moving with the swift gait of a younger person whilst carrying a bulky looking carrier bag after abdominal surgery?
And why does it look like a winter holiday craft fair when Easter is coming?
I remained unconvinced. I still request a clear video of Kate, verifiable as to date of it being recently recorded, in a formal setting with independent media witnesses on hand to agree KP isn’t pulling any fast ones.
Getting more BS from Murdoch tainted outlets is unserious.
Comments on TMZ’s YouTube page agree with you!
The two pap pictures were both districted by TMZ, and both look very different.
Seems like they should explain how this is Kate but the puffy face person in the car was also her, just a week or so ago.
So bully apparently punched kitty’s face so badly, he broke bones. Hence the rush to the hospital Dec 28.
Then the lies began: planned/emergency abdominal surgery. But really, its to fix her face and hey…… perfect opportunity for a facelift (that car ride photo with carole showed a whole diff none-kHATE nose that looked like it was healing from being broken. Plus puffy, post-surgery face.)
Now this video, from TMZ, obviously authorized by KP (unlike the one in the car with carole, also by tmz, but with the excuse from KP that it was “unauthorized.”)
But with the rush to present proof of life, they forgot that everyone who has talked about having had abdominal surgery, says they needed all this time KP had telegraphed earlier that kitty would need.
So we get this bouncy rush-walk which completely belies “abdominal surgery.”
Oh what a tangled web…….
@Kingston I like your take
Makes me nauseous to consider whether she actually pap walked with someone who did that to her. Surely she’s not that good of an actress. And if DV is involved, get away, K. That ring ain’t worth it.
Also – it’s giving Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie.
I don’t know what to think. Why would they not release the video at the same time as the press release? The whole sequence of PR moves is just getting ridiculous. It’s like KP is chasing a moving dot. Has a reliable legitimate news source shown the video or just TMZ and the British tabs. Was this video sold to the tabs by the person who took it? Curiouser and curiouser.
Perhaps they had this ready to use in advance, say in January when they knew it was all going bad? There are festive decorations out, good grief! Employ doubles. Keep this video in the vault for emergencies. No security. No one looking at them. He’s letting her carry the bags, post surgery.
Good grief, Sparrow, I did not think I owned a tin foil hat, but I’m with you.
Her cheekbones are really high in these new images.
The woman in brown coat behind them at the end of the video has her phone in her hand. If that was them she’d have filmed them given she hasn’t been seen in 3 months and half the world thinks she’s dead.
People aren’t even doing a double take here. The whole world is asking where she is and these people, at a Windsor farm near their home, don’t wonder if that’s them?
It almost looks staged, like they know where the videographer is and she looks like she’s smiling uncontrollably as they do their walk because she knows they’re being videoed.
They’re trolling us. Now I’m inclined to believe that there was a big blow up between the WanKs the end of December and Kate decided to go on strike. She just went Gone Girl until whatever conditions she wanted were met. It’s that or the KP staff is putting out fake videos and photos again.
I mean if you showed me that person I’d say she could be Kate’s doppelganger but tell me that’s Kate and I’m all “girl please”.
And if she’s skipping through markets like that, doesn’t the palace risk pissing off a whole lot more Irish people by not having anyone show up for the Irish Guards on St. Patrick’s day?
If she’s well enough to shop she’s well enough to do her job. Sacre bleu! (Ou vert ?). It’s an easy enough job, show up in green, smile pretty.
Looks too tall to me. In other pics she measures up to him like that with stilettos on. #notconvinced #flightkate370
Kate also has a proportionately large head. I think her head has shrunken and her ears have gotten bigger ,😂
May, one of the first things I noticed was the woman’s small, elfin type head. Decidedly not Mrs. Wails-esque.
Sorry, I don’t believe it’s her.
I swear I used to laugh at the cconspiracy theorists, and I’m beginning to question my sanity here, but that ain’t Kate.
@julie this is pure gaslighting territory, yet they aren’t the ones with the lamps to turn on and off anymore
it’s like chinese shadow pupetry when the light are on and you can see everything as is
Guys, not everyone has a good smartphone. My phone’s camera is also sh*tty. That is her, just seems like she lost some weight because her surgery or whatever she was dealing with. Puffiness on her face is gone, so that is probably why she felt like she can go outside. What is the alternative scenario? They got a body double? She has to do engagements in the future eventually. There is no body-doubling that. It is obvious they wanted to extend their break as an opportunity.
Paps have better cameras and this was obviously set up or the Sun, Daily Fail etc wouldn’t be running it.
Remember a week ago they claimed they don’t run unauthorized photos or videos.
@WiththeAmerican, TMZ named the person who took the video. Someone recognized her and took the video, TMZ paid for the video. The tabloids didn’t run the previous photo because the palace stopped it. They apparently didn’t object to this, probably because she doesn’t have a puffy face anymore. I understand the scepticism, but this is an obvious passerby video.
TMZ is a shitty tabloid, but they have a solid reputation, they shared the metadata of the video. They wouldn’t risk their reputation for BRF. TMZ also supported H&M’s NYC pap chase. People trust their videos, pics for a reason.
@sevenblue, The video may be real but it doesn’t mean that’s Kate. There’s a real credibility problem with KP, K&W, and the British press covering the royals.
The credibility problem isn’t just about the coverage of the royals, but runs the gamut from political to celebrity coverage. These tabloids broke laws and paid out billions of pounds to settle with their victims.
So I’m waiting for second independent verification of this video and one that shows without image manipulation that that person is indeed Kate on that day. Otherwise, it’s fair game for speculation and not credible enough to prove that was Kate (and William).
W&K created this mess. It’s not up to the public to battle it out and clean their mess up for them.
If that is her, why did she not pose for her Mother’s Day photo?? It was only a week ago and there would have been no need to fake it. Lies!!!!
@Galadriel, Don’t they usually share pics taken previously on special days? Like they do a day photoshoot, then share the pics the whole year. I think, they realized they can’t share a past pic because of the online speculations. So, they chose to do the stupidest option: just edit the kids’ clothes. Editing Kate’s face was probably just a vanity choice. On the previous TMZ photo, her face was puffy. So, they couldn’t take a recent pic until the puffiness went away obviously. It doesn’t look weird to me her face went to normal in a week? But, I am not a doctor or dealt with such illness, so can’t say I am right.
So why couldn’t she do a real pic of herself a mere week ago? I mean if this is her then what are they playing at with the different stories and secrecy and manipulated photos. Why do the damage that was caused by the photo alone. I am really at a loss, truly. The woman on the video looks healthy and without a care in the world. But Kate had surgery and needs time to recover or an illness or gave a kidney yeah that’s the ticket! I’m gobsmacked by all this
You can believe whatever you want, but this whole story was set up with the same talking points of unnamed passerbys giving quotes. a legit media organization wouldn’t do what The Sun did and not even describe the passerbys.
Then when no one believed it, suddenly a “passerby” has taken grainy video knowing when they were coming out.
but no one else is even turning a head to look at the missing Kate.
No matter how often she shops at their own market, people would look since she’s been missing since Christmas.
It doesn’t make sense.
I see her cheek implants and/or cheek filler has settled. The swelling in her face has gone down, and those cheeks are prominent. Yep, she got some facial work about a month after her abdominal surgery since she could use it as a reason not to be seen and let it settle.
And Kate and William are bonkers the way this has played out. Neither one has an ounce of common sense, evidenced by the bizarre way Kate’s disappearance has been handled.
Yep, this is my new theory. She probably had something laparoscopic and then used the excuse to schedule major cosmetic work
Looks to me like as if that is what happened. Well, well, well. It’s always in what they leave out.
They might have said, abdominal surgery and a few other small problems. Then we would not be quite so cynical and sour about being lied to the whole time…A kindergartener could have done better PR for KP these last three months or so.
I checked one of the registration plates with DVLA. What’s the chances of a person living in such a posh area driving around in a 16 year old Lexus?
That is NOT Kate! The ears are very different and ears can be matched like fingerprints. Side by side photos show it is not her!
Pretty high. In the UK it’s considered very very posh and an upper class badge of honour to drive an ancient car.
Buying new things is considered noveau riche.
There’s a reason the main insult for Michael Heseltine was that “he buys his own furniture.”
This is fake Melania levels of BS. 😂
I don’t believe that’s Kate, unless she had plastic surgery. Close, but no cigar. And having had major abdominal surgery myself, I could hardly walk faster than a snail’s pace, or hold anything heavier than a pillow for quite awhile. Of course, everyone recuperates in different ways, but this woman looks ready to run a marathon. So why didn’t she appear for the Saint Patrick’s engagement if she’s this fit and slinging weighted bags?
Assuming this is not AI manipulated, she seems to have lost a lot of weight and pretty chuffed about it. Her legs are so skinny now, they actually look longer. But I think it is her.
For someone who’s supposedly had a very serious abdominal surgery, she’s walking very fast and carrying a big-ish bag. I’m starting to wonder if it wasn’t a face lift after all.
Another theory I have is that she’s absolutely oblivious to all the news about herself because she’s been kept in the dark during her mental health therapy. She looks like she doesn’t have a care in the world.
She has short legs and long torso, difficult but not impossible to hide.
Yes, she has quite short tibia relative to her femur and to her height. Every time she wears trousers, her crotch always looks waaaay low and even with stilettos, her legs look short.
This is the longest I have ever seen her tibia look.
OMG, she had her tibias lengthened!
So….welcome back from Switzerland, Kate! You look…different, somehow.
Kate definitely looks different in that video with William. Could be a like a look-a-like or Kate post-cosmetic surgery.
It could be a picture from when they were dating.
@Just Jade, Kate wasn’t that thin when she was dating Will. After the engagement, her extreme weight loss started. The tabloids made fun of her weight apparently at the time, which is crazy considering she was just at a normal, healthy weight.
Daily Mail has, in the article about this market appearance, a picture of Kate’s body double. Now, why would they put that pic in this article? Can’t trust anything, these days. It’s all designed so that deception is always possible.
Her face looks very different, especially in the chin and nose area. It’s either a look-alike or her face got totally rearranged. Also the hair has gotten a LOT longer and looks like a whole wig. I say fake Kate.
One of the enlorged still photo I saw on twitter she looks very different, especially her teeth. Doesn’t Kate have dental veneers? The teeth in photo are not straight.
Someone elso on FB said how did she grow her hair out so fast what happened to her bangs and I just thought she’s not wearing a wig.
The update just might confirm my theory about the Kate impersonater/lookalike.
ALSO, why did it take ALL DAY for someone to produce this video?? Can’t help but think it’s the result of a full day of millions of people scoffing at this “Kate shopping with will but absolutely NO ONE took a photo!! 🥴👍” story
Maybe it took all day to negotiate the price of the video? I can’t even begin to imagine how much they got for it
I am gonna also guess, it took some time for TMZ to verify the video. After pic manipulation, they wouldn’t risk their reputation for a fake video.
@sevenblue, TMZ pushed that grainy photo of Carole and supposedly a person who was Kate. That was credible? The woman in question had swollen face and there were questions about the rest of the image.
@Kit, I believe it was credible in the way it was organized by Middletons. So, it was an organized pap shot. This is someone in public selling video to TMZ, they gave the person’s name. That’s why they would verify the video first since they didn’t organize it.
I fully admit I’m not googling who all was involved in the kill order, but my understanding was that order came from news wires, like AP. TMZ is not a news agency and does not draw a feed from news wires. The photo is all over the internet, just not on reputable news sites. TMZ, like fellow Murdoch holding Fox News, is not an accredited news agency, and thus not held to the same standard.
What reputation does TMZ have? They specialize in harassment and report on any and all gossip. They do not operate with integrity and wallow in exposing people at their worst. If this is a video of Kate, it wasn’t filmed within the last few days. And if metadata verifies that this footage is recent, then it’s ‘unlikely’ the real Kate taking a brisk walk and swinging a bag.
We need someone who has gait analysis software to review this
Yes! Gait analysis and more precise body proportions — Kate is very distinctive in both respects
No sign of royal Protection Officers there. Just saying.
And no one looks up as she walks past them.
No RPOs is kind of the kiss of death for this photo, unless they were told to lag behind for photos. The current king is out with cancer, the future king and queen would have tight security. Then again I just saw a video of Obama strolling up to 10 Downing Street with no visible secret security.
The secret service shuts streets down long before a president arrives, so Obama’s arrival today was protected in a lot of ways, just not caught on video.
What we didn’t see is President Obama strolling past people who never looked up, because people would notice someone that famous. Which makes no one looking at this alleged Kate very odd.
That section of Downing Street is gated down at the corner, nobody gets to walk right up to the front door of #10. Pres. Obama is walking freely because he was driven there specifically & is on his way to his car.
The whole entirety of Downing Street is a private gated road that is 100% covered by armed police and anti-terrorism forces at all time. There’s a massive gate at one end of Downing Street and a brick wall at the other.
You cannot physically step foot on that street unless you live or work there (which means you directly work for the Conservative Party) or have a verified appointment and have passed security clearance.
So Obama had already gone beyond the armed checkpoint at the gate, and into the area where the general public cannot go.
It can’t be Kate. No way she’d be smiling that big next to him haha.
But it’s true. There’s no way she’s that happy being near Will.
Even with video people still come of with insane conspiracy theories. Look alike Duchesses and mystery comas. A whole lot of nothing for a glorified trophy wife on “sick leave.”
Let’s say for the sake of argument that this is really Kate. She’s clearly had work done, which is NBD. Celebrities get tweaked and she’s a celebrity. We’ve heard for *weeks* that we wouldn’t see her until Easter. So, if it’s all legit, she was getting a touch up, needed rest, and would reappear at Easter, why soft launch her in this laughably ridiculous way? (As posters above have pointed out, the produce at that store belongs to the Windsors and doesn’t need to be purchased). And if it is Kate, there’s some serious ‘splainin’ to do about why all the hijinx.
It almost doesn’t even matter. We don’t need a conspiracy theory for this to be the most absurd charade ever attempted (and failed at) by the BRF.
If it’s her and she got work done, it will be a big deal. Bc of the whole charade they put on. If she really steps out totally refreshed and obviously tightened, the public response will not be good. That said, the gait has me questioning if its even her.
@Jais – I def don’t think it’s her, but if – for the sake of argument – it is her, there’s no excuse for this being the way they announce she’s okay. A completely tweaked, remade Kate just casually buying vegetables when the entire globe is like where TF is Kate? Nope.
Riddle me this Batman. IF the people in the video are WanK then WHY does William need a 4 week vacation? That was announced yesterday or recently right?!?!
And if she can walk so spritely and carry things surely she can work even by just doing a zoom call.
These two are manipulating lazy liars.
He is obviously very weak here, because his wife, who just had abdominal surgery and had to be out for months, is doing all the heavy lifting in this photo. So Poor Willy must be very weak.
Am I crazy? I don’t think that looks like her at all. Just because it’s a skiny brunette we are all supposed to believe it is Kate. She’s either had a complete facelift/plastic surgery, or that’t not her.
Or do i just lack the ability to recognize another human being?
It reminds me of when Bristol Palin reappeared with any entirely new face. Cosmetic surgery can do just about anything at this point, but this makes no sense as the soft launch of her new face.
I just watched it again and she isn’t doing that weird thing Kate does, where she walks with her the front of her hands turned forward instead of turned palm toward her body.
I’ve never seen a woman walk like Kate does with her palms facing back.
You’re right! This woman is walking normally! Kate does not!
Not her. The face is different as is the body and gait as others have commented. Also the hair looks off.
I think this is bulliam, upping the ante to kHATE.
The earlier theories tht she had gone on “strike” in response to the divorce demand & beatdown she got after xmas day; and tht the doctored mothers day photo and subsequent “apology” signed by “C” was all bully’s doing; hv created an impasse between bully i:e KP, & kHate. And in the void, onlookers around the world had filled it with theories (e.g: she’s dead/in a coma/KP no better than North Korea/etc) that hv severely damaged the monarchy.
So this is bully’s remedy: use a body double to do this fake sprint. So what do we hear folks saying: “if she’s this well, why did she not do a proper mother’s day pic/why did she not do the Irish Guard St. Patrick’s Day thing on Sunday; etc.
So bully has not only put the ball bk in her court he’s upped the ante so now tht everyone “sees” that she’s more than well, and outraged tht they’ve wasted their sympathy card, bully can now push thru wth the divorce.
Rmbr her street-pissing, drug dealer uncle said, less than 2wks ago, that “when they make the announcement,” he’ll give his opinion on it.
The divorce announcement is the only logical conclusion.
Yeah…no. 1000% not Kate. Probably not William either.
HMMM…..pap video through TMZ has dropped, either the Middletons are fighting back or Buckingham Palace has entered the chat.
Oh Peggy feels like your “single Dad’ branding is disintegrating and we are all going to find new adjectives to describe your ‘new rage era’…. phosphorescent?, white-hot? Sure your media friends will let us know soon. Happy Endgame Week Celebitchy squad!:)
This is absolutely insane. Just all of it. If it is or isn’t her its all just insane. And tbh it’s either not her, a FULL facelift, or a really old video like for instance when they were engaged or shortly after being married. Hell for all we know it may even be AI. Its just crazy. Doesnt really look like her and the Christmas decorations… thats crazy. NIC19 pointed out people called in to say those huts are only out during Christmas. If it was some random person selling the video why do “W&K” spot it immediately. Both of them spot it at the very beginning of the video. I dont buy any of this sh*t.
IF the video is true (AI can do anything), she´s way too thin. Not healthy thin. Maybe she is really ill but I bet anything the RF doesn´t want to talk about (another) eating disorder.
She looks the same weight as she did at the royal variety performance 30 November 2023 and on Christmas day.
Look at the leg-forward photos from getting out of the car for the Korean event, where she wore the red dress. Very thin.
As predicted it didn’t take too long for the incompetents to produce another fu$&ck up. At this point, just give Up-they’re making it worse on themselves and the comments on the TMZ page are Brutal.
The community note went up on NY Post article. They can’t even coordinate between TMZ, the NY post and the Sun(mind you all owned by Murdoch) the Outfit and hairstyle that K wore to the farm shop😄 in the supposedly same day.
Going to sleep 💤.
l just saw a deblurred photo of this woman and that’s not Kate at all.
It’s not Kate. The ears are pointy, and Kate’s ears are round. I’m not even sure it’s William as he’s lost a lot of weight lately and video William looks almost hunky. If the deblurred photo is true, it’s a joke. My first sight of this video was a still–the still did not look like Kate at all.
Now the TMZ car video of Kate and her mom–100% her. No doubt.
One of the photos I saw was deblurred using AI. Someone on x used an AI app on an authorised photo of K which almost made her face unrecognisable. I wouldn’t trust the app deblurred image.
It really really looks like Heidi Agan, a really incredible professional Kate Middleton look-alike actress. The question, if it is Heidi, is who hired her to do this?
Lots if people are saying its Heidi Agan and her boyfriend who is William lookalike.
Christmas huts and decoration , why in March?
Did someone hired them or is it old video of them(skit) that resurfaced ??
This is… perplexing. I was getting to the point that I didn’t care any more because it seemed like they were playing games. If I were a UK citizen I’d be one of those with the yellow signs protesting because wow this is a poor use of taxpayer funding.
Playing games is right. This is actually making me really annoyed bc I’m looking at her walking and thinking that’s not her. But maybe it’s her? Idk is it her? It’s making me think I’m seeing things or being overly paranoid and you know what? Fuck these assholes for making us all feel crazy.
It sounds like I’m in the minority, but I think this is really them. Not only TMZ but also the Sun has published the video now. The Sun publishing tbe video is kind of a big deal. I don’t think the tabloids usually publish off duty pictures of the royals unless there is some sort of tacit permission from them. So I think it has to be real. Also they probably usually verify the videos for date / making sure there isn’t any AI etc. She does look very thin, though if she had an abdominal surgery and was thin to begin with that’s probably not super surprising. She was probably on a liquid diet for a bit. Her hair is longer – hard to tell if that’s extensions or a full on wig. It’s odd that her face looked so much more swollen in the video with her mom – would Prednisone wear off so quickly? Idk. Anyway, this tells me that I don’t think she had a stroke. I’m back to thinking this was some sort of intestinal rupture or something and that she needed a ostomy bag (and actually the top that’s she’s wearing in this photo is rather loose fitting), and I think she might actually be back after Easter after all – I don’t think the palace would be releasing that mother’s day photo in which she looked healthy, and then Kate and William walking around a garden center like she’s certainly fine unless they understood she’d have to come back soon if she’s out and about looking fine. I think the palace or Kate will make an announcement at some point that her surgery was one on her intestines. In terms of the marriage – idk what to think. If they were trying to soft launch a divorce I’d be surprised if they’d let themselves be seen like this out and about. Maybe they are just planning on going back to the way their relationship was before (mostly separate lives but no official separation)?
Yeah she looks fine, clearly mobile and looking healthy. With Wills so…no separation I guess? Looks like the whole thing was a tempest in a teapot, just terrible PR moves around a nothingburger medical journey. It was fun while it lasted, though.
If it was a nothing burger medical journey then WanK lied about the time she would need to recuperate before returning to work. She really is living up to her fakey katey hashtag.
The UK papers ran the Frankenpic because KP approved it. They’re obviously running this because KP approved it. Given the Frankenpic fiasco, what on Earth makes you think KP’s “tacit permission” to run this makes it “real”???
Curious to spin this as “a tempest in a teapot” and “nothing burger”. Two of the most overused phrases besides, “leave Kate alone” by Kate’s followers.
Even more curious, this is KP’s doing. THIS after the whole pray for Kate after her abdominal surgery and she may be out till Easter, but will try to work from her bed, per KP’s own PRs.
So which is it? Face lift or abdominal surgery? Or is this a two for one surgery that British princess gets?
Why the doctored Mother’s Day photo taken by Willy if “girlfriend” is So, So fine?
The Sun and TMZ are both owned by Murdoch, the same person who Harry is suing for illegal and unethical information gathering. They were involved in the Levinson investigation and they have people like Piers and Jeremy Clarkson who work for them. There’s one video where a psychologist is speaking on a panel and said that she was approached by them to lie about Meghan and say that she’s a horrible person who fired all of her staff and was difficult to work for, she fortunately refused. TMZ has a reputation of being a televised trashy tabloid that stalks people and used unethical practices to get information. Neither of them are reputable.
I’ll buy that it could be her but not that it’s now. If there are Christmas decorations up, and if those little huts/stalls are only there at Christmas, then it wasn’t taken recently. Either Christmas 2023, or some other Christmas. Was there a year when she was skinny with darker hair and fresher looking that this could plausibly be from? If it is her. Whoever it is, I don’t see how it can be from this past weekend.
Yes, I think it’s earlier, although I don’t even think it’s them. I was saying above, if they’d been really clever (ha ha) they’d have set this up with doubles earlier rather than later. Perhaps during Jan, hence the decs. At that point, KP would’ve known things were going wrong for her and got these doubles out there in readiness. There’s no way they’d take the risk of exposing her to people around about who could’ve gone up to her, not only to say, good to see you, but potentially what the hell are you doing not working. Although, maybe the decs are genuine and the shop owner doesn’t care. Who knows, It’s this debate that proves that they’ve lost all credibility.
This is so creepy and is giving me Prince William Foodtruck vibes.
So Will and Kate went shopping together, grinning like kids, and nobody rushed to social media to report the sighting? And yet there is a video posted to TMZ because somebody happened to be filming some couple out for a walk and realized it was Will and Kate?
How many times are they going to double down instead of learning their lesson from this sort of blunder?
Could that blurry video have not been done completely with AI?
No, “AI” could not have made that video.
I’m still stuck on the manipulation picture that they sent out on Mothers Day. All the major news agencies pulled it. Why would they go to such extreme to do that and then send out a video of Bill and Cathy skipping through the tulips. It’s still fake news to me.
It kind of looks like her and it kind of doesn’t, which is weird. Like everyone is saying, the person in the video looks strong and energetic, which doesn’t Jibe with the all the hush-hush about major serious surgery, intense stress and necessity of a really long recovery yada yada. Who knows but if she’s looking and feeling that well, if that really is her, then they’re a huge pair of trolls for toying with the public like this. They could release a real, actual, non-altered photo of her which in no way compromises her supposed need for privacy and a long recovery. If she can bop around very briskly doing errands, grinning and carrying bags, she can pose for a real photo, ffs.
They are turning everyone into Columbo with one more question. Now we have to see if TMZ have the original video and picture. What a shame!
That’s just crazy train. Was she even sick? Didn’t she have a serious abdominal surgery? Why then isn’t he carrying both bags? They don’t look that heavy. I just can’t anymore with these two…
Maybe this was the dry run and next time she disappears nobody will care.
At first I assumed it was a hernia repair. The more I thought about it, I figured she had plastic surgery and had to hide until her face was tolerably healed. Looks like that was on target.
I think that’s her but she lost a lot of weight, maybe because she’s been on a liquid diet following the surgery (my MIL had that and lost a spectacular amount of weight over a couple months.) Not sure how she went from puffy to emaciated over a couple weeks, but that’s just one more mystery in this whole saga. I’m frustrated they’re not communicating about her condition : not because I want to know, but because it’s so shrouded in secrecy it’s stigmatizing whatever condition/ disease she had. She could have used this as a moment to shed light on an illness – extreme acid reflux or whatever it is – and help bring it into the open and speak about it without fuss. And maybe that would have helped a kid somewhere in a hospital with the same condition feel better. Instead, there’s so much secrecy the condition is treated as something shameful, not to be talked about. Way to miss an opportunity to educate about and destigmatise a disease …
That’s not Kate, it may or may not be William.
Unless she has shrunk significantly there is no way it’s her. In the still photo it looks similar but not her.
The teeth are wrong too
Be aware AI video is Very very good now
But I see Christmas crap so I doubt it is current.
People local say the Christmas huts and crap are only up during the winter holidays.
I just realized who the tmz vid kate looks like: mary, denmark ‘s queen. What if kate got plastic surgery to look like her?
It looks very much like this might actually be Heidi Agan, a professional Kate Middleton look-alike.
At this point, KP just want to muddy the water so much, that their lies are hidden. It’s an old disinformation tactic BTW.
It’s effective because it overwhelms the public to the point of exhaustion and the winning narrative which doesn’t have to be the truth, prevails.
In fact, this tactics favor lies with deep pockets.
So who has deep pockets here?
The Wales, and Murdoch empire.
Lies are cheap. Real journalism which requires checking for veracity is expensive.
You can do the math.
Standing by my facelift comment from a few posts back. Girl is looking refreshed.
I think my favorite theory is that it’s just some random couple doing their shopping, and KP just shrugged and said ‘let it ride’ . And somewhere in Leishire Bob and Linda Stafford are very amused at being confused for W & K
Facelift! What a joke. Liars all around.
I usually don’t comment on the Wales family-I have seen the pics-one question why send the photos to TMZ which owned by Murdock-why not send them to a news outlet with an upstanding reputation?
Or why not release a short video celebrating the Irish Guards who she bailed on for this pap walk?
Is Kate wearing a wig? Her hair looks very odd.
Maybe this is what her hair looks like without a professional blow-out? but I DID wonder where her long fringe went? would they have grown out to blend well in 3months? perhaps.
But her hair is darker. After lack of professional care throughout recovery, her hair should’ve got greyer if anything. Her hair colour here is radically back to the dark it was when she was younger, when she didn’t have to lighten it up more and more as she got greyer and greyer. She is very grey in reality. It seems odd that a woman would choose to go this dark during recovery if she has access to a stylist; she’d go back to her usual light brunette with lights to blend out the grey.
Her hair without a blowout is very curly. William once referred to Kate’s “nightmare hair” (Isn’t he nice, LOL) and there were photos taken on their honeymoon that might have disappeared of her natural hair in the heat and humidity at the beach. This hair looks like a wig. It does look darker than the hair and wiglets before Christmas.
She has shrunk her legs look shorter .and skinnier .
William also looks like he is ten years younger in this vid?!!!!! Waity looks like she is as young as her uni years and so does he. Wtf. I think it’s them but from years ago. Must have been a hell of a facelift if it takes decades off both of them, and also takes away her stooped old lady posture, makes William look almost good looking, and like they have just graduated. I really think this is footage from years ago. No matter how skilled a plastic surgeon is for the face, it’s impossible to take away natural bone aging in the body, and they both are decades younger in this footage imo.
There was no corroborating time stamp. So date taken is unverifiable presently.
TMZ posted a screenshot of the metadata – so it verifies the video date/time/location. I don’t know how you mess with that, though anything is possible – but it’s verging into tin hat wearing territory.
A screenshot of meta data can be faked, anything can be faked if you’re decent enough with PS or other software programs.
I looked at the still photo next to a still of the current Wails and for sure I don’t think it’s Kate
Besides being about 5-6 inches shorter than she usually is, the face isn’t really that close. And this girl looks about 15 years younger.
No facelift does that.
Also, Mary Pester and another poster mention Lucy and Lucy Orr-Ewing
So I did a dive on Lucy Orr-ewing
She is pretty, educated, accomplished way out of Wills league.
And I wasn’t seeing a connection, then I found it!
Will Orr-Ewing, 25, educational consultant. Son of a baronet, he was educated at Harrow School. His brother Archie is a friend of Prince William.
@Khat omg yes! Just googled, and could be! Going down a rabbit hole very deep here, but look at the business partner (tutoring business) and he’s a dead ringer for a young William, even more than Will Orr-Ewing, who himself is very similar to Bullyiam. And the business partner is in his twenties, which fits with the picture showing young couple in their twenties, not Will and Kate forties.
Um, why not just sit K in front of a camera instead of allowing a blurry video to run on TMZ? I’ve had friends who have had intense abdominal-related health issues. Crohn’s, cancer, pancreatitis, kidney disease, ectopic pregnancy… I’m not sure she’s had something like that if I see this video and that is actually her. This woman looks like someone who should already be working part time (if she lived in Europe). Are there any checks and balances to make sure the mascot family isn’t entirely sponging? She’s not doing that hangy thing many people do when portions of their bowels have been removed.
So basically Charles is out with cancer treatments, William and Camilla are both out on break and Kate & the children are in seclusion or something ….. hmmmm!
Most of the royals have ‘doubles’ who earn a living as lookalikes. QE11 had one, a lady called Jeanette Charles, who played her for years in various shows, skits etc
Exactly, Liz. And you can tell the Will double isn’t so much up to scratch, because his cap etc are pulled right down. If you want this to be a public moment to prove everything’s OK, Will would also have his face completely showing.
Thanks Sparrow. You don’t need to be a conspiracy theorist to be well aware that when ‘powers that be’ want something covered up they’ll try any tactic. Even veering into deep state territory.
It’s not her. People shopping there, if not allowed to take or distribute photos, would be talking about it all over the place. Witnesses would be going wild with shared stories. The location – it’s not unusual to see royals, so the public there wouldn’t be totally oblivious to a Kate, they’d be primed to know what she looks like and respond. It’s not like a hardware store in Staffordshire or something, where someone with a passing likeness to Kate wouldn’t get any interest. There could also be a hostility there – if you can do this, why not a proper photo, why not work; I doubt they’d expose her to that potential questioning etc. This was either done in readiness months ago by two doubles (in preparation when they knew things were going very wrong, say Jan) or has been done recently with doubles. The face is wrong. He’s wrong. She’s trying to be seen but isn’t getting the attention. She’s carrying bags like nothing’s happened. And before people say that’s possible, it shouldn’t be for a woman who is implying she’s too ill to sit for a photo or do a zoom. And, anyway, it doesn’t matter what I think. Thousands and thousands on the DM are refusing to take this for the truth. Which shows they have lost all credibility. And rather than all this crap they should just be honest, and should’ve been from the start. If you are going to pull stunts like this, sit down and address the nation properly and thank people.
I am the first person to be disgusted by the constant conspiracy theories flooding our country. But I really don’t think that’s Kate. The face is very different. Even if it IS Kate, not a good look. She is well enough to shop and attend sports games, but can’t do anything for the country? Either way, their PR is absurd. And I agree with another poster that nobody at KP will comment on this video. If a body double was used, they can say: we had nothing to do with this and we have no idea who these people are.
Exactly. When this story first broke I thought, seen BY WHOM? Because it could be Kate was seen by a member of her staff as she literally got out of the car and then back in. Kate could’ve been seen by a member of staff as she went to the sports venue but literally remained sitting in the car with the said staff. There are semantics all over the place. Being seen is no guarantee; it’s being seen by verified other people.
There are two main Dutch news internet sites, NOS.nl and nu.nl, if you don’t get your news from one of the papers. The latter IS NOT showing any pictures or video from TMZ—they’ve provided a link, but their focus is on the Frankenphoto issues. To me this means that they are not sure if it’s K, or they believe that this is not entirely accurate.
I don’t know what to believe at this point but am skewing towards it’s not Kate. The whole thing is very dodgy. At very best, it’s completely staged, possibly faked.
Regarding the “huts”, those aren’t Christmas decorations. They’re dining huts, which are fairly common in the UK – my local pub has them in the garden. Basically because the UK gets a fair bit of rain, outdoor dining areas are often covered for when it’s warm enough to sit outside but a bit drizzly. And it’s illegal to smoke indoors, so smokers often sit outside even when it’s cold. And British people are kinda anti-social and have a big personal space bubble, so they prefer to sit in their own little hut, rather than at a large public table. You can see a man in a grey cardigan sitting in one of the huts, and the black stick with 34 written on it is a table number, so the wait staff knows which hut to deliver food orders to.
The things on top of the huts aren’t Christmas decorations (British Christmas decorations don’t look like that), just normal year-round decorations. The thing dangling from the top of the hut looks heart-shaped, which wouldn’t be used at Christmastime. I can’t tell but it looks like a heart shaped corn dolly which is a fairly common (albeit extremely twee) form of decoration. The UK is an officially Christian country and although we’re a very secular/atheist country, the whole country goes bananas for Christmas – and this is a royal shop, who have to be super CoE. If it was Christmas it would be a billion times more decorated than this.
The people in the video are all wearing cardigans, jumpers, or light jackets, which definitely wouldn’t be the case at Christmastime. If the video was shot in December everyone would be in thick winter coats. It’s only started to get warm here since the last week or so, so just from clothing alone, the video can’t have been taken more than a couple of weeks ago max. (Unless it was from spring 2023 or something.)
Zoom in and notice her skeletal chest. I personally feel that considering her bobble head and skeletal frame that she’s been in for treatment for an ED, and her ED may have caused her to have abdominal surgery (if she even had one). Not everything is a massive conspiracy. It’s not hard to see that she has a difficult relationship with food. And it’s not hard to see why.
Where was the “Mother’s Day” photo allegedly taken? Windsor, right? I thought the trees in the background of that photo were pretty full-on green with foliage. But in this photo, the trees are quite bare despite being on the same Windsor Estate.
This is all quite ridiculous and this could have been all handled quite nicely in a manner similar to King Charles’ videos and photos. Instead, we get a car photo with a puffy faced Kate, a Frankenchop photo, and now this video where she’s hauling a$$ a week or so later? So strange and incompetent.
I really do hate to sound like an insane conspiracy theorist but I have to admit that I simply do not believe that is KKKate in the video. That was my immediate instinct/gut reaction while watching it the first time. I have since seen it several times in tik tok & other places online and my opinion has not changed. I genuinely do not believe that is her — which makes me even more curious than I was before this was released. Like… What in the actual hell???
Exactly my thoughts Lee
Not sure if anyone noticed, but it appears that no one looked up at them as they were walking by. I did not watch intently but if a missing princess shows up would not you at least glance?
