Updates on the Princess of Wales

I can’t remember if it was this thread or another, which discussed a few days ago how the mainstream media - like NYT and VF are covering the Kate story and including all the frenzy. I feel like once the big guys start picking up on it, it gets more traction.

Well, you’re the one who put those two together. I responded to a post in which the poster opened that some suggested proof of life should be offered:

Which resulted in my response:

That elicited your stretch:

My comment on the NYT editor was very tongue-in-cheek, I apologize if it came across otherwise. None of this is serious business (except, of course, none of us want Kate to be ill). In my book, we are all just speculating on the lives of people we don’t know. :grinning:

This seems very likely and would warrant staying out the public eye for a while.

You know who probably knows a bit more than most about Kate’s situation - Prince Louis’ pals and teacher. He seems like a kid who would share everything he knows LOL. I’m surprised the media hasn’t tried to infiltrate his friend group.

Oh, it must be tempting. As much as I dislike some of the invasive royal press coverage, I have been impressed by how much they leave the kids alone (except for sanctioned photo ops)

I was thinking the same thing! Louis is the bomb. I bet the teachers at the school have had serious convos with the students about not asking questions.

Proof of life photo

And the conspiracy theorists are already having a field day. :roll_eyes:

Someone will zoom in to see if she can wear a seatbelt. The sunglasses add to the mystery!

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but that does not look like Kate.

Not to mention the obvious photoshopping on the 3rd pic on that TMZ page (extra tires on the left side of the car, as you are looking at it.)

Maybe TMZ was having a slow day :woman_shrugging:

Why not a body double? Movie stars have them—let’s be creative here. Haha!

My gosh on TikTok the conspiracy people said there is no mole so it is not Kate. Some were saying it was Pippa. The only thing that is sort of odd to me are the sunglasse and not smiling. She had to know that photographers were everywhere.

I was also very disappointed to see on social media a grainy video of William dropping Charlotte off at a child’s birthday party. It almost looks like security camera footage so I hope it wasn’t another parent.

delete, wrong thread

I thought it looked more like Pippa too.

I’m picturing the palace comms office saying, “Get Carole Middleton on the horn! We need her to drive Kate (Pippa) around the city! Tell her not to forget the sunglasses! No, no smiling or waving!”

From one of the articles:

“She couldn’t keep food down and has lost an alarming amount of weight,”

She really didn’t have any weight to lose, did she?

Yeah, “alarming” is a strong word. Her physical appearance may indeed be alarming to see if she has lost a fair amount of weight.

Well the photo of her face, while recently out with her mom as a front seat passenger in the Audi, does not look cachectic; in fact, it looks pretty normal to me, consistent with her previous appearance. That’s good - if she’d had a Whipple, she definitely would have lost more weight, and it would have been visible in her face.

That’s why I really question if it was her - especially after this possible tidbit of “drastic weight loss”

I don’t believe that is her in that pic, and like I posted above the 3rd pic in that TMZ article is obviously photoshopped. Disclaimer: I am not a conspiracy theorist.
