A friend shared this with me at the end of last week from a private parenting FB group she is in. One of the other mums (who she knows reasonably well) posted:

"My dad is in the know because my mum was in the london clinic for years. So he knows a huge number of staff there. I'm betting every newspaper knows the actual truth. KM has a very severe eating disorder. She didn't have surgery. She was hospitalised to be tubefed as she was refusing to eat."

I obviously can't vouch for the truth of this as I don't know the woman, and am not in the group, but I saw the screenshot so it was a real post. She may be a fantasist, or exaggerating what her father told her, but thought I'd share it anyway. Doesn't sound very ethical for medical staff to be sharing this info if it is true!

Wow, that’s a new one. Horrendous if true but likely fiction.

I have thought for a long time that she likely suffers from disordered eating though. She’s very tiny and gaunt at times. I hope it’s not so bad it requires hospitalisation though.

Agreed, it doesn't look like they do. There's a lot of people online who like to make people think they have inside information.

Personally, I think the issue is either gynaecological , or bowel related.
Yes, she’s very very slim, but she also seems to have a lot of energy, and her hair, skin, etc., don’t, to me, look like she has any kind of eating disorder.
I’m not a fan of the Royals and the whole concept of Royalty, given the century were in!
But I sympathise with Kate on this; she should be able to keep her health matters private if she wants to.
I think it’s a bit cruel to be making fb posts about her being treated for an eating disorder, whether true or fantasy.

The only reason I thought it might have a kernal of truth to it is the speculation I have seen elsewhere about the fact that Kate often has plasters on her fingers/hands and that this is a sign of bulimia.

I know that neither the Sun and Daily Mail nor the National Enquirer (below) are reliable sources, but it makes me wonder if there might be something to it.

She has been in the public eye for twenty years and thirteen of those married. She has been seen with a plaster maybe around ten times. In other words 10 times in 13 years.

And many times those plasters are on her thumb. That's not the place for it.

People should stop spreading that BS.

Medical staff talk, I have worked in hospitals and know they gossip between themselves, it’s the fact that they may discuss things like this outside the environment.. Maybe they could say to there partner oh POW is in hospital with.. Don’t say anything.. then the partner mentions this to someone else., then it goes on and on.. either adding to the story or taking away from it.. “Chinese whispers “ I think it’s called..
Unless you hear it directly from the Dr or staff who are caring for her.. I’d take 20% of this to be true..

It does treat ppl for https://www.thelondonclinic.co.uk/services/treatments/talking-therapies#team
so there is a unit of sorts or they could have outside specialists to come to treat her. It is a private hospital they could cater to her as she is the POW. So it’s not beyond the realm of possibility.. there again I could be wrong

While I don't think she was hospitlaised for an eating disorder, I do think anyone in her position would likely have some sort of obsession with their weight and food. It's hard to imagine not being incredibly strict with yourself when you're one of the most photographed women in the world from every angle and even an extra couple of pounds will be scrutinised by the press and the public.

That being said, you only have to look at photos of her doing sports in shorts to see how toned and muscular she is, you don't get that from not eating. I've no doubt she has a strict diet and exercise plan but I don't think she's out there refusing to eat.

What's funny is that Meghan is no bigger than Kate, in fact her legs are even thinner, and yet I've never seen anyone debate if she has an eating disorder. It seems to be a narrative people are determined to stick to Kate for some reason.

I really think people are getting hysterical. The RF isn’t slimmed down to a point where it’s a problem at all. Skipping some events with no impact on state affairs? Would someone care if the HoS of who know where would bow out on short notice for personal reasons? Have we seen a proper vice presidency invoked for a longer matter of time? HoS get sick on the job all the time. Older even more so, and most are in the 60+ category. Governments work on. Less important engagements get scrapped and a representative does the important stuff (which has been pre-determined by the current laws). William, Anne and Edward are the three working representatives that take on the important engagements that need to be carried out by the actual monarch usually. The RF does so many engagements that people overestimate completely what the role of the monarch actually entails. And Charles isn’t not working. He is just refraining from public engagements.
Additionally, we have seen many weeks with no royal engagement at all or just by people that don’t get reported on for decades. It’s not as if the RF is stretched thin in reality.
It’s really not that big of a deal. I will say though that I think Wiliam should shoulder more public engagements. The downside of his immense privilege is that his personal life will have to take a backseat from time to time. It sucks. For him and and his family. But quite honestly, that’s the trade off.

I also don’t get the drama about Kate’s bandaids. If I would be shaking as many hands, get my hand dirty or in medical environments I would most definitely patch up every scratch to prevent infections. And I am not a germaphobe. I also believe others shouldn’t come in contact with your scratches- especially if they haven’t healed completely yet. Big no no if you visit someone in hospital for example.

I know women who are toned and yet look gaunt and sickly like Kate does, and have an eating disorder. They're athletes - and were only having coffee and laxatives, because they needed to be super thin and have that line and 'look'. I'm long of the opinion she has something going on, whether it is an ED, an intestinal problem, something. Pics of her around the wedding, the honeymoon, and on and off when she wasn't pregnant - it's not normal slimness. Pippa looks great and fuller, healthier; Kate has always looked very gaunt with her head bigger than her waist. Kate looked gloriously lovely fuller when pregnant! But then she slims herself back to the honeymoon look which is frankly scary:

Here when dating William, she looked great! She didn't need to starve herself or diet herself down further.

But if someone in hospital is talking that's pretty crass and a great violation.

I'm also of the opinion RRs all know what's up but they know what side their bread is buttered on, they wouldn't talk. They'd be denied access forever and lose their jobs as a result, though I bet they are dying to talk.

Still of the opinion KP should have released some statement with all the nonsense floating around of a thank you, not even a photo needed, or the kids making a card for Mom, or whatever. Like Charles did to reassure people. They are unnecessarily hostile but that is how William sees legitimate press: he hates them, he hates his own position in life, and will continue to use whatever excuse he can pull out his ass to not work and do the job he's living in glorious wealth for.

They have already thanked people in this statement. And William has also mentioned it in a speech. They can't help it if people don't read and listen.

And royal reporters don't know that's why they are so annoyed. But even if they did know they can't say it because there is something like medical privacy. It's against the law to reveal someone's medical file. Nothing to do with being denied access or other such nonsense.

So first she's been admitted for tube-feeding and now it's bulimia and she's had surgery to repair damaged organs? Get your story right before making these claims.

I would immediately dismiss anything that's printed in the National Enquirer. If the National Enquirer said the sky is blue, I would go outside and check.

Right. And also, if you think someone has grossly breached a person's right to privacy by revealing their intimate medical details, don't then share them further.

I genuinely do know someone who works at the London Clinic who said that there was a very strict warning to people not to talk and anyone who did so was threatened with immediate reporting to the GMC. From what was said, a surgical procedure [operation] was involved which was complex and another surgeon had to be called in to help. I shan't say what specialities these surgeons were, out of respect for her privacy. But there's nothing to indicate that the RF were not telling the truth.

You could have finished your post there tbh. :ROFLMAO:

This has all got out of hand. As you say normally we could go weeks without seeing or hearing from TRF and no one would bat an eyelid but suddenly they're falling apart and one the verge of collapse with all sorts of outlandish claims being spouted.

In other news, it would appear Uncle Gary is set to turn up in the Celebrity Big Brother house ... Just what Catherine needs.

Bit odd...you know someone who works at the Clinic but they were warned not to tell people but they still told you and rather than say 'ok, my lips are sealed' you've come on an open gossip forum to tell us what they told you!

But yet they told you?
If they've told you then they've probably told others too. They need sacked as they clearly have a problem maintaining confidentiality in their job.
