Updates on the Princess of Wales

The Daily Mail posted a photo of Prince William and (allegedly) Kate leaving Windsor Castle today. It is dim, grainy, and shows Kate looking away, out of her window, while William peruses his phone or papers. I’m sure the photo will put an end to the conspiracy theories and speculation. :roll_eyes:

This story just gets more bizarre by the day.

And here is the one from the WaPo (I had already generated the gift link so I might as well share it :wink:) … all the papers want to get in on this story.

She needs to be holding a current newspaper as proof of life in every photo

There have been some pretty funny ones. I’ve laughed several times in spite of myself.

Not sure what to make of this story.

It’s all beyond weird - and, yes, going by the picture, the bricks totally don’t match.

This story is a PR nightmare and isn’t improving.

Virtually everyone wishes the best for Kate and hopes that she has a speedy and complete recovery. But the Royal Family is a public institution, receiving funding from the British government. As a public figure regular updates are to be expected. This “we will communicate again in three months” and issuing doctored photographs does nothing to endear the family to the public. Not a good move when anti-monarchist sentiment is growing.

I did this once with a New Years photos. I put about 5 pictures of my one dog in it!

What is the comms dept doing? Fire everyone and hire a 21yo influencer with Photoshop skills. This whole thing is ridculous.

Was this photo released by the family? Or a paparazzi shot?

The Daily Mail published it, but I don’t think they attributed the source.

Oh for heavens sake. There is at least one official royal family photographer. Just get a picture taken by that person and put it out. Why use snapshots taken by the family who HAS a royal family photographer?

That is really my question.

Since when does the Royal Family just send out their own snapshots….that would be since never….one would think.

The Wales do release pictures that the Princess has taken. She’s an amateur photographer. They are happy family photos.

This thing is getting weird. The princess must be out of commission for this to get this far.

I wonder if Buckingham Palace ( the king’s aides) will get involved because the PR for the Wales’ have royally :joy: messed this up.

Are they doctored up? Or fun family snapshots. There is a difference.

And she didn’t take this picture according to all sources.
