Hmm. A stroke is kind of an interesting theory. She would need a lot of rehab and time for recovery.
At this point, they are making it way worse by keeping her out of sight. I agree that even a photo of her in bed would help. It seems likely that something is very wrong.

I dont know. I feel like I still have the super unpopular opinion here. But I feel the opposite of you all, I think if they were "hiding" something they would absolutely be posting things by now to cover for it. They said she wouldn't be seen, and nothing has changed. I still also can't quite get on board with her parents/family keeping quiet if something was terribly wrong. Why would they?

I will say though I do find it more interesting her and Charles both have something serious going on at the same time. That's odd or a bad timed coincidence. I'm more inclined to think the Kate thing may have been planned out/exaggerated to take focus off of Charles or something similar

There are several 4-month chunks of my life that I desperately needed to take a bang leave 😂

I think the Middletons would do anything the palace asked them to for money. Their finances are a house of cards.
KP is handling this situation so badly, I can’t even speculate as to what is wrong. Unless they literally can’t find Kate and are trying to cover until they negotiate something, there are so many better options than complete radio silence.

No thank you to more Andrew but I’m also laughing at how “downsizing the monarchy” came back to bite Chuck in the ass. Like if they wanted to really downsize then they’d just be ok with not having anyone in a church walk. 🤷🏻♀️ His big mistake (besides completely alienating his son, DIL, and grandchildren) was not placing more value on the York princesses if they wanted to be working royals. Andrew should be punted into the sun, but Bea and Eugenie have really come into their own. I’d argue that they came into their own because they were not working royals. They had to find their own paths, develop their own interests and become functional humans. I bet they would be exceptionally dull if Charles had brought them into the Firm.

I haven’t been posting ALL the Royal outfits because I sensed people aren’t as interested. Are we? I’m absolutely interested. Please post away ❤️

I still also can't quite get on board with her parents/family keeping quiet if something was terribly wrong. Why would they? 100% They’re awful at hiding things. They have leaks all over the place. If they posted pics of her recovering in bed, there’d be a million questions about what happened or what’s wrong and it’s been clear they don’t want to talk about it. So I don’t find it surprising that we haven’t seen Kate when they said from the outset we wouldn’t see her til Easter.

I think it's weird that there has been next to no information about her, except when their hand is forced (as in yesterday when William canceled something at the minute, or when Charles announced his cancer). While I understand this is a private situation they are a public family. It is a weird balance and I just think they are inviting so much more speculation and bizarre rumors with how they have handled it.

The fact that nothing is being said is what it makes it seem more serious. It is a balance, but normally there is more info being put out there. Charles has cancer and you see Camilla visiting the hospital, him leaving the hospital and then reading get well cards. Kate had to appear in the hospital steps hours after having a baby in a dress and heels when every other woman is still wearing mesh underwear and sweats. Megan was going through a mental health crisis and still had to attend a formal event. The fact that Kate hasn’t even been seen in a car in sunglasses and a ponytail seems off for their usual way of handling things.

You think they would keep quiet if she was dead or seriously injured? I mean I guess I can't discount it but hiding grief for $$ is a lot even for them

Maybe she’s in rehab for an eating disorder or some sort of drug addiction (pills or something). The intense inpatient programs can easily take a month or two of serious work. Maybe she was in the hospital for the initial recovery part and then is doing an inpatient program.
Who knows. Odd odd odd

I had kind of a shitty thought that maybe there was some DV from Will to Kate, and all of this is her healing.
Like if he broke a bone or something.
And before anyone tsks me for that kind of speculation, take a look around the thread and let it go. That's kind of what this is.

What's odd to me is the long range estimation of how long she would be "gone". People heal from things at different rates. With a surgery, they could have said she would out of sight for 2 or 3 months, depending on how she was feeling. They bought themselves like three months of her being gone with that. To make such a far reaching estimation for something medical seems odd. I suppose rehab or something makes more sense, since those programs have set amount of days.

One more thought - it’s interesting that nothing has been leaked about Kate from within the palace. Other royal family members - and we all know who - aren’t awarded that luxury. So…who does the leaking of Kate is never leaked about but others are?

A broken jaw requiring trach placement and subsequent decannulation would be a long process. I also am starting to buy into the Spanish media report that she was in a coma. I believe it is something neurological and I don't believe the palace truly knows if she will make a full recovery or not.

This is an interesting way to frame it. I'm also seeing speculation William may have been at the house where his cousin's husband was found dead. Puts the story yesterday about what would happen if William were to be arrested in a fresh light. Plus also we know William has a history of assault (per Harry). I can't be convinced something didn't happen at this point. I'm really worried about Kate.

If this was just a situation where it was her privacy, they'd be more forthcoming. I have zero doubt it's in protection of the crown at this point.
