The British Monarchy

I don’t understand what the fuss is all about? The royals PR photoshopped a photo of her with her kids - so what? Don’t get why anyone cares; either to see the photo or the fact it was doctored. Am I missing something?

She’s not been seen in public for months.

She's not been seen in public for months since her operation.

A photo is then uploaded on mother's day, 'taken by Prince William in 2024' that has been severely doctored to the point that AP told all media to kill it, it wasn't just a little touch up.

Photoshop 'experts' have now said it looks like a few photos have been spliced together.

Then there are the rumours around the picture; the clothing they're wearing being linked to a day in November 2023, the royals were offered to publish an original photo from the shoot but declined etc...

I'm not buying the conspiracies but the reason why they've lied is intriguing me now. Something just doesn't add up.

They were trying to kill rumours by publishing a photo and it's just poured fuel onto the fire.

Chuck in a strange statement from Kate apologising for editing her family photo

Then a picture of her in backseat of car with wills staring at a wall and going to a public engagement but carrying out private duties.

Definitely doesn’t add up but genuinely hoping she’s fine and all this drama has been a complete waste of time.

I mean the 'taken by Prince William' was the least believable bit about this whole thing. The idea that this clearly-posed-by-a-professional-portrait-photographer shot was just some little snap William took and that Kate has a little Photoshop hobby. But then you wonder why they're not just blaming a rogue photographer.

Yeah. The fact that they couldn't hire a better photo editor than that. They're clearly strapped for cash nowadays. They need a bigger handout.

I thought she said she did it ?
Must admit if she considers herself a keen photographer with expensive SLR's then she should be a bit embarrased letting that out like that.

Even if she didn't edit it then as a keen photographer how did she let (approve) that fake shit go out ?

And where is the fucking wedding ring ?

I know people say "why are people bothered, get a life" blah blah.. but it is all a bit fucking strange.
 
They can’t win whatever they do.

If they keep it all a secret, then they are hounded by the press and speculation is rife.

If they disclose the issues, then all the ‘experts’ are dragged out from all the nooks and crannies to fuel speculation and fill the breakfast TV slots.

Personally I don’t care what her medical issues are, it’s none of my business. As with any other person with an illness, I hope she recovers quickly with no lasting problems.

However, if she (or politicians) are funded and paid for by the taxpayer, then the taxpayer has a vested interest and I think they have a right to know.

I don’t know why the Royal Family have to be so secretive about issues like this. If she’s got something like Crohn’s disease, then why hide it, why not be more like Chuck and put it out in the open and give people something to think about.

It’s the same on here with people discussing something like prostate cancer, if it makes people reading focus and bring an awareness, then we’re all benefiting from it. We’re just plebs amongst ourselves on this forum, but the Royal Family have a much greater reach.

Ultimately personal medical confidentiality trumps everything else. If she doesn’t want anyone to know, then fair enough. But the problem the royal family have is that they are desperate to ‘stay relevant’ and nowadays, that seems to involve sharing everything about yourself. It’s tricky to use publicity for your benefit and then expect privacy when something negative happens. They could easily have a more arms length relationship with the press, but then they wouldn’t get the countless positive column inches they crave, where she gets praise for wearing the same dress twice or cutting a ribbon while smiling.

Been a lot of conspiracy rumours about her recovery and whereabouts after her surgery for a long time now and it seems the picture released today from the Royal social media page of her and her kids are being pulled from multiple picture agencies, seems the picture has been manipulated fueling even more rumours.

I think it's funny how all these kids are mini versions of the late Queen Elisabeth.
 
Went into hospital, came out, shares an edited photo, refuses to release an unedited photo to show she's alright? There's only one possible explanation. Botched facelift.
 
What's strange is ye Brits keep supporting this lunacy.

Just create an English version of Paddy's Day and get the World to use it as an excuse to have a piss up. Shut down Oxford, Cambridge and all the private schools. Round up all the toffs and make them work in chippers. Give free elocution classes to poshies who want the speak fam blud. Easy peasy.
