I almost always love Maxima's looks, and I definitely love the last casual outfit with the flowy skirt and sandals!

That poor woman byjove. The whole thing is so hysterically bizarre. Here is a series of tweets that has the guy who played Wonka talking about his experience.
“I can’t improvise a vacuum cleaner. You either have a vacuum cleaner or you don’t have a vacuum cleaner. That’s the two rules of having a vacuum cleaner.” 😂

I am amused by KP telling press we told you we wouldn't be releasing information and she wasn't going to be seen until Easter, why are you asking questions?! Did they really think that supporting the idea that we should know everything about Meghan because she is a publicly funded wouldn't be used against them for "their" royal? They've continued to leak against Meg and Harry whenever they thought it would benefit Will and Kate, and now they are above all the talk. Like, be for real. They have helped build this mess with spinning stories and now they are shocked it's turning on them?

If Kate said, I'm having this procedure done and I'm taking a few months break. No photo ops, no statements, no appearances, nothing. What would they actually be able to do? Would they actually cause a problem over just a few months or just go with it? I don’t think so. Kate tows the line and does what she is supposed to do. I think some procedure was planned right after Christmas, whether it was truly abdominal or something else. The holiday break was supposed to be enough for her to recover without anyone knowing, but something went wrong.

I went on the RoyalsGossip subreddit today to entertain myself with wild Kate speculation, and hoo-boy, that place is nasty.

It wasn't a press release, but any briefing by a rep for Kate means that its coming from KP. They have press meetings, they just don't televise them. Verbal versus in writing, but they can ask questions usually.

Queen Maxima is ready for spring during her trip to Columbia. She looks like a giant in first photo. Colombia* **obligatory correction otherwise I’d be disowned as a Colombian.

Because he can’t support a family in grief over a self-inflicted death?

Google says Queen Maxima is 5'10, so that is one petite person to look so small next to her. She’s also got decent heels on, though. But in general Colombians are split into tall and white like Spaniards or short and tan like the Indigenous. This man clearly falls into the latter.

That'd put her at about 6'2.

Aren't they two different deaths? He pulled out of the memorial for King Constantine possibly as a result of being upset that Thomas Kingston shot himself? I may be mixing up the details though

He issued a statement that it wasn't related to that or Kate's health, just a "personal matter". Plus, Thomas Kingston's in-laws made it to the funeral service. I'm not trying to minimize things, but he died on Saturday and the funeral was on Tuesday. *To me* the timing doesn't make sense to pull out 45 minutes before your godfather's funeral that you are supposed to do a reading at. Edit because I think people are confused. The Thanksgiving Memorial Service was for Will's godfather King Constantine of Greece who was related to Prince Philip. The person who just died was the son-in-law of Queen Elizabeth's cousin Prince Michael of Kent.

Isn't his MIL the racist one with the Blackmoor pin?

The X link that fatpony shared provides a good run down of facts/speculation some of which has been discussed here. I did see the “soft launch” online of the 6-9mo recovery timeframe for Kate and thought why are they suggesting that? I also never considered that Pippa’s vacation pics were not new but now I’m second guessing everything. I doubt we’ll ever get the real details but if Kate doesn’t show up for Easter at the end of this month or her recovery timeline is extended…they’re going to need a better cover story.

I believe neither the kids or her parents have seen her. It’s all so bizarre. And sucks to be you, Will, that you couldn’t get along with your brother and sister-in-law. Because they could have been a really good source of support right now.

I keep reading that the kids haven’t been seen either, but I would assume they are still going to school. There is no way that if they were pulled out of school some parent would leak that as an anonymous source to the tabloids. There haven’t been any kid appropriate public events since Christmas.

A random thought I just had. I dont really follow all the theories but has there been any speculation if there was some kind of credible threat made/stalker situation that needed to be handled so Kate's in hiding for the time being?
