So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

[Jokester]

She’s disappeared, not seen in public since Christmas. Reportedly was operated on for unspecified abdominal issues. All good.

Not a sight of her since, neither going to hospital or leaving. Leaked photos last week apparently have her in a car with her mother but not entirely sure.

Princess of Wales: Picture agencies pull Kate photo amid 'manipulation' concerns

The newly released photograph of the Princess of Wales came amid online speculation about her health. Kate has not been seen at an official event since Christmas Day.

When I saw the photo in the news yesterday it looked a bit off but I couldn’t but my finger on it. Now looks like it might have been “manipulated” and the media have pulled it. *looks at hands* is it AI generated?

This is on top of a scheduled media event in the summer also being removed the other day as well.

So err, is she still alive?

 

[Jokester]

Very dodgy, something weird is up.

She must be down in your neck of the woods, the tree in the background is in leaf.

 

[Jokester]

It is a bit weird... Louis's right hand looks AI generated as well as the obvious photoshop to Charlotte's left hand. The more I look at it the more Kate's overall proportions just don't look right either....

I don't really have a conspiracy theory as such but it does seem weird to me that they would release such a poorly doctored picture.

It was Kate’s image that I felt didn’t look right - can tell by the pixels…

And to why it matters, if you want to dispel rumours something’s happened to her, this isn’t the way to do it.

Charlotte has different footwear on each foot!

That’s weird. Has she got one leg shorter than the other, it looks like the same style of shoe, but ones flat and the others a raised heel.

 

[Jokester]

It smells worse than Harry's pre-nup!

They need another 24 hours to get the deep fake video Kate up and running apparently.

 

[Jokester]

She needs to release a new photo of her holding a loaf of Hovis. Only then will I believe for sure she’s actually still around

And under a portable sun.

 

[Jokester]

I normally don't bother keeping up to date with celebrity or royal news but this one is incredible.

Has a whiff of "prebunking" about it.

 

[Jokester]

I think they get their look-a-likes the same place Putin does.

 

[Jokester]

The media passing the buck about speculation on to others.

The media knew Kate wasn't scheduled to appear in public till the end of March. Yet they kept talking about her when gossiping about Meghan and Harry 24/7.

They'll already ramping it up with the "Kate's got cancer" rhetoric. From whats actually been said, it appears she might have had a hysterectomy and they subsequently found pre-/cancerous cells and they're giving her precautionary chemo as a result. The media are massively downplaying that it's precautionary.

Good to see Karol Sikora back in the media good books though

I'm no doctor so perhaps you can explain, what do you mean by pre cancerous cells. Did they not find cancerous cells and therefore started chemo? Surely you either have cancer or not, it's just that this has been caught rather early?

They've not said specifics, but you can get cells that are pre-cancerous, eg not normal, but not cancerous and in a lot of cases they'll just monitor you to make sure they don't go to that next stage - these are the sort of thing picked up by routine testing like prostate testing and smear tests. In this case, they might have found cancerous cells in what was presumably removed tissue for other reasons, and in the absence of evidence that they had spread elsewhere, are giving her a precautionary treatment of chemotherapy.

Russia blames us for Ukraine, we blame them for iffy photoshops and staged photos in the Sun. Just tit for tat.

 

[Jokester]

It'll be like Weekend at Bernie's when she's on the palace balcony.
