If she does have a pouch, why should she have to normalise it? It's not her job to do that and she deserves privacy to deal with a medical condition however she sees fit. She doesn't have to, but like I said, she could normalize much more than any "regular" person could. There is speculation she will discuss her medical issues when she is ready. Then I saw someone tried to access her medical records and think At this point, I think she has to (I actually wish she would not). It's literally no one's business. Had she wanted to talk about it, she would have on her own. But because of all the speculation that she's dead (she is not), I think she will be forced to so that everyone will shut up about it. Initially, I was curious about what was going on. I get it. But the way everyone is speculating about domestic violence, death, kidney transplants, etc. is just gross. The world needs to let the poor girl rest. I keep thinking about if *I* were in her shoes, and possibly have major health complications like what we have speculated about. I would be mortified if the whole world was discussing my colostomy bag. Edited to add: everyone says they don't want a repeat of what happened to Diana with the media. Yet, here we are. In every news paper, magazine and website, people are talking about her. People are looking at her medical records without cause, making up lies about 'facts' that are easily proven wrong.

Do you not think you might just have hit the nail on the head? Except TMZ has now said that the video is not Will & Kate but impersonaters. Well, shit, did they retract *that* now too?? Last night there was video of TMZ staffers talking about it not being them after all. But now this morning it looks like they’re walking that back? Wtaf. This is ridiculous.

If this is the article you are referring to (which I think it has to be since I can't find any other article about it), then that is not what TMZ said. They reported that a friend of Harry and Meghan thinks it's an imposter. So that's hardly a reliable source and definitely NOT TMZ saying it's an imposter. Edited: I was typing this while busy was editing her comment.

The other issue that keeps coming up is that she, in the past, has been a frequent user of Zoom and YouTube to talk to the public. If she can walk around a Farmer's Market, why not pop on and just say hi and set all of this to rest. Shut everyone up.
In my opinion she should be left alone to come out and update when she wants to. Leave her alone.
One of the theories I've seen is that Will is still having that affair he was accused of back in 2018/19 an she's pissed. Won't come out and talk until he boots that woman to the curb.

I'm not an avid royal watcher but I saw the video and thought it looked like her. I think the level of speculation on this is just crazy! I know she's a public figure and all but man, I feel sorry for her.

I think she will once her official resting period is over. She never interrupts her official breaks with her family to hold meetings, etc. So I wouldn't expect her to do so when she is supposed to be on official rest. Now, when Easter comes and goes, then other major holidays and she hasnt said a word --- well, then I will give more credence to the possibility that she is holding out on William and and there was been an affair. But so far, she's done everything the Palace said she would do while healing....which is no public appearances.

Yes, I know that what they've told to expect is what's happening, but there is widespread, insane speculation, getting more insane by the day, that something is very wrong. That's not going to die down by them ignoring it and is giving them - especially William - tons of bad press. It just feels ill-advised for them not to do something to quell it. The fact that they haven't goes against every modern PR strategy and makes things seem even MORE suspicious.

FTR: I don't think for a second that anything strange or nefarious is going on. They told us she had surgery - and after the shit show that went down when she was admitted to hospital with extreme morning sickness when she was pregnant the first time, they probably hoped that by being upfront that she had surgery and would be out of the public eye that they could avoid a repeat performance of the desperation for information and the media making up stupid shit for clicks.
I wouldn't be quite so repulsed by the reaction is she had just vanished without explanation...as I think that would be unprecedented and lead to crazy speculation, BUT they released a statement that she had surgery and would be out of action and recovering for an indeterminate amount of time. So based on that, knowing she was recovering from 'something' all the jokes from other celebs and the conspiracy theories on social media are just disgusting. They are literally making fun of someone who is recovering after surgery...and someone who has done nothing except be kind and nice to people.
What's more - you know whose platform is all about bullying on social media? Harry & Meghan, Meghan was just last week in a seminar talking about how cruel people on social media were to her ....and what have they come out and said in support of Catherine...nothing, Radio silence. Not a single word.

I just think they have created a situation that if they give into public demands of proof of life in this situation then going forward the public will expect them to give in on everything (if that makes sense). The Palace is known for not talking, not giving in to public demands. This is breaking that.

Jackie and Shadow are local to me. Last year the eggs didn't hatch either. Jackie laid one with no hatching and a second with no hatching. It seems when we have a solid winter with a lot of cold and snow, the eggs don't do well. When we have warmer winter with less snow, the eggs do great. I am not expert of course. Eta I believe there have been 13 eggs and 5 have hatched. And 2 have lived into adult hood. the eagle situation has me invested. now people are saying they have mated again. so does that mean another set of eggs this year or not until next january? i also learned that shadow is her second mate. the first eagle mate got booted by shadow when she last had eggs that hatched. it's just an eagle soap opera in that nest. LOL

I really wonder how, as a society we have fallen this low. Looking for conspiracy where there is none. It’s actually quite normal for people to have several surgeries in their lifetime. Most of us go back to work as soon as we can but who wouldn’t take as much time as needed if they could? What updates do they want? Her blood pressure? How much walking can she do? My post surgeries have been very uneventful, not much to say except I’m taking it easy, relaxing and recovering. Why would a surgery performed on a young woman, with the best surgeons go wrong? Was she looking terribly Ill the last time she was seen? And as far as people speculating on what the surgery was, suggesting she should discuss “the bag” when we don’t know if there is one, is absurd. Reporting that someone said the woman in the video is not her, what kind of journalism is that? Basically the mediad is in a frenzy trying to make money, get views etc. Shame on them.

I feel like Americans are much more invested in this than we should be. Ultimately does it really matter if she is out of the limelight for a few months? Now if she doesn't show up after Easter, then I can see people questioning it. I just hope she is well and recovering from whatever is ailing her. I am starting to see that Easter to us means different than Easter to them. Easter to us is the holiday, and to them is when the kids return from a longer break. IF we see her at Easter services, I bet we won't see her much, if at all until after their break. Also, June/July is after Easter too... LOL. I was thinking Trooping the Color in June. They didn't give an exact date. I thought it was written that she would return to her duties after Easter. That was my take on it.

I didn’t think the video looked like her I thought the cheeks looked way more prominent than in her usual pictures. BUT the video is grainy and far away and I don’t even really know what she looks like unphotoshopped because pretty much every picture they put out of her is photoshopped. 🤷♀️ would I even know.
I also don't really care.
I feel bad that she has people speculating about her whist she is recovering. I feel bad that one main theory involves her husband cheating on her and throwing his mistress in her face and her having a mental breakdown over it.

I’m not asking her to share every detail of her personal life but normalizing things others might feel-but shouldn’t feel-shame about would be a great service. I find the whole antiquated monarchy nonsense pretty gross but at least that would be one good thing to come from it.

I resent that all of this speculation and conspiracy theorizing has made me care about people who I have never cared one whit about. I feel so sorry for her and I feel that this kind of media frenzy is what ended up killing Diana. I want to crawl under my blankets and cry into a video "LEAVE KATE ALONE!" Can you imagine going through a medical issue and having the world speculate that it's mental illness or your husband got your best friend pregnant etc...? (and I only know this from people posting on FB - I haven't clicked on one link or read anything about it.) And, sure, people can blame the royals' PR machine - but it's so sad.

When did it become acceptable for society to require the minute details of her health, or anyones, to be laid bare and picked over? She has a public life and a private one and she should be allowed to keep them separate.

I do think it’s human nature to speculate and it’s a lot more fun to go down the rabbit hole of British royalty conspiracy theories than it is to read the horrors of the daily news. I think the PR for the royal family has handled this abysmally. Better to have said nothing than release a poorly photoshopped picture. If I were Kate I’d be super annoyed with them.and id absolutely be watching all the tiktoks about myself. I can’t imagine it bothers her too much or that she cares what people think and if she is bothered by public speculation, again-get a private job.

Granted she fell in love with a future King, but I think she has handled her role pretty well. She seems to be striving for a balance between what is expected of her as a wife of a royal and her wanting some semblance of normalcy. She certainly benefits greatly in regards to finances, but again, she was young and in love when she married William. William certainly had no say in his role as future King. I don't think it is as easy as just getting a private job if you are William.

And I think it's gross that it's become "entertainment" for people. They're amused by the speculation and engage in it and it seems the more prurient, the better. It's like people forget she's a human being; a mother, with children who will see all of this someday. Anyway - the royals have never been a hobby for me so I'm done. It just makes me sad for her.

I don’t think that means she needs to disclose private details but I think it’s foolhardy to ignore the chaos. It’s just making it worse. Their messaging from the beginning is what caused the speculation - calling it planned surgery when they’d just announced a trip abroad that would now have to be canceled seemed disingenuous. It seems like it was probably more like not-emergency-but-this-has-to-be-dealt-with-ASAP, which i think they could have disclosed without giving details. But since they opted not to do that, it set the stage for all these wild theories. A 30 second video thanking everyone for their concern and maybe making a light joke about the conspiracy theories - to show that it’s right now, without getting too “proof of life” lol - would put this to bed for 95% of people who are speculating. (5% will never be convinced)

The other issue that keeps coming up is that she, in the past, has been a frequent user of Zoom and YouTube to talk to the public. If she can walk around a Farmer's Market, why not pop on and just say hi and set all of this to rest. Shut everyone up. In my opinion she should be left alone to come out and update when she wants to. Leave her alone. One of the theories I've seen is that Will is still having that affair he was accused of back in 2018/19 a she's pissed. Won't come out and talk until he boots that woman to the curb. People who come up with absurd theories such as Catherine being pissed about an alleged affair and won’t come out into public until he ends it, have such a lack of logical thought, don’t they! The Palace has said all along that she is out until after Easter - which means, if this theory were true, they are confident that if there was such an affair, it will all be completely resolved by Easter. Yeah, right. Much more likely that the theory is a load of bullshit.

I think a regular job and being a royal are fundamentally different. My regular job might come with such benefits as paid sick leave or vacation time, maybe something like a company car. Being a royal means if you sexually assault someone, you won’t be held accountable. If you speed, you won’t be ticketed. You get luxurious properties and private jets and security. With great power comes great responsibility. You don’t get to pretend you’re just a regular person. In my opinion, which I admit doesn’t really count, but I’m sharing it anyway!

But I do owe an explanation to my employer with a doctors not for a leave like that. But the public is not exactly Kate’s employer

I really wonder how, as a society we have fallen this low. Looking for conspiracy where there is none. It’s actually quite normal for people to have several surgeries in their lifetime. Most of us go back to work as soon as we can but who wouldn’t take as much time as needed if they could? What updates do they want? Her blood pressure? How much walking can she do? My post surgeries have been very uneventful, not much to say except I’m taking it easy, relaxing and recovering. Why would a surgery performed on a young woman, with the best surgeons go wrong? Was she looking terribly Ill the last time she was seen? And as far as people speculating on what the surgery was, suggesting she should discuss “the bag” when we don’t know if there is one, is absurd. Reporting that someone said the woman in the video is not her, what kind of journalism is that? Basically the mediad is in a frenzy trying to make money, get views etc. Shame on them. Thank you. I resent that all of this speculation and conspiracy theorizing has made me care about people who I have never cared one whit about. I feel so sorry for her and I feel that this kind of media frenzy is what ended up killing Diana. I want to crawl under my blankets and cry into a video "LEAVE KATE ALONE!" Can you imagine going through a medical issue and having the world speculate that it's mental illness or your husband got your best friend pregnant etc...? (and I only know this from people posting on FB - I haven't clicked on one link or read anything about it.) And, sure, people can blame the royals' PR machine - but it's so sad. This. ^^^

You mean when you still get funded (paid) even though you can’t work because of a medical event? Hmmm….. now why does that sound familiar? I absolutely agree with you about the great responsibility that the Royals bear, and that they cannot pretend they’re just regular people. However I don’t think that means they have to share all their private details with the whole world.
