This my hot take too. I honestly think Kate is probably fucked off that she thought she’d have a breathing space away from the media and then this has all happened.In my own personal opinion I think she’s had major surgery, is chilling in her PJs at home whilst she recovers, binge watching Netflix and eating carbs.
I think she probably made a special effort to get fully dressed and have her hair done for the photos (which can be exhausting in itself) and when they didn’t get one of everyone smiling and happy they cut and pasted others in so they had one composite picture of everyone
Even once the physical wounds have mostly healed on the outside there will be a lot going on healing wise internally and the fatigue can be overwhelming. I’ve not long had abdominal surgery and I just want to hide away until I’m feeling better.
why has there always got to be a huge conspiracy with everything? Sometimes life is just boring and mundane and people have surgery and people get cancer.
At the beginning I thought you were being sarcastic / joking but… are you serious?
I think the media are right to critique the Palace’s response to this, it’s shockingly bad. It was also really crap of the Palace to put the blame on Kate for it.
Absolutely. As an official oldie I remember it well. The media turned against her by 1996. Too much baring her soul, too much public smooching with boyfriends, it was starting to trickle out how she emotionally manipulated her sons and weaponised her mental health struggles for drama and to get what she wanted.
100% agree.Jesus, how misbehaved are these kids if it takes an hour to get one decent shot of them on digital cameras
A kill notice is extremely rare, the level of manipulation was, as such, extremely high. They may have even requested the raw file to do a comparison. In all likelihood they probably pasted Kate’s head on someone else’s body.
It’s not several of the same shots pasted together because let’s be real, it doesn’t take that much to get a decent photo of kids who are very used to being photographed.
No. The vogue cover is a stupid rumour from some social media manager.
Oh yes, such a large control of the press. The press completely ignored them in the 90s, didn't invade their privacy at all or publish highly damaging things and completely covered up the affairs, sex tapes etc. Or after Diana died, didn't demand the RF (including two grieving young boys) return to london and parade around, almost bringing the monarchy down. Such massive control they have.
who doesn't edit or filter photos nowadays, why is it such a massive story? Why does Kate have to apologise for it? Why are the things that have been edited so random? A tile on the floor, Charlotte's hand, a piece of hair, a zip?! If I was editing a photo I'd be far more focused on making my nose smaller and airbrushing my skin 
It's very common in Ireland at least that you'd stop if you were walking along and a hearse was coming up the road, or pull in your car and let the procession pass regardless of if you knew the deceased. Same for commercial premises, in my town at least they'll still close the front doors and turn off/dim the lights if a funeral was passing.
Well, he hasn’t really has he. He’s 40 so it’s a bit late to say your birthright comes as a shock. He’s supposedly been being prepared for it all his life. His gran was actual Queen at 25 and his dad Prince of Wales formally from 20. It’s only the longevity of his family that meant he could get to 40 without troubling himself unduly.
I genuinely don’t understand how it’s fishy? She had surgery and is most likely on steroids so she’s puffy and doesn’t want to be ripped to shreds by the press and twats on Twitter for her appearance.
I have never understood him giving her that ring considering it was from a very unhappy marriage plus it’s so 80’s. She must have been gutted!
