Yesterday, I revealed a YouTube video: My Favourite Being pregnant Meals – so please test that out and provides it a like, in case you have a spare second!
OK — we have to discuss one thing that has been occupying my ideas for the final 48 hours: there whereabouts of Kate Middleton.
In any other case often called #KateGate – the world is in an acute tailspin asking: The place is Kate Middleton?
If that is the primary time you’re listening to about this, I’ll break it down with a cohesive timeline. However mainly, she hasn’t been seen publicly since Christmas, with the Palace explaining that she had “deliberate belly surgical procedure.” The PR nightmare started after the Royals launched two extremely doctored photographs of her this week to quell rumors…which have solely added gasoline to the firestorm of conspiracy theories that she could possibly be in a coma, or having a psychological breakdown after discovering marital infidelity, or that she and William could possibly be on the point of divorce, or that she’s might have gone to dwell past the “Ice Wall” in Antarctica.
However I’m getting forward of myself. And earlier than we dive in — I used to be very hesitant to put in writing this publish, as a result of I don’t wish to gossip. That isn’t a Christian factor to do, and so I wish to simply current the details of this example that actually has your entire world placing on their Carmen Sandiego hats.
Right here’s what we all know:

Some palace watchers even went to far as to query whether or not or not she was truly alive. In response, the Palace points this assertion: “Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the Princess’ restoration and we’d solely be offering important updates. That steering stands.” Sounds to me like they have been fed up with the ridiculous rumor mill, and had contacted their PR Disaster Administration workforce…which ends up in…
March 4: First Paparazzi pic of “Kate” emerges
A photograph of — what seems to be Kate — within the passenger seat of her mom’s automotive emerges, driving by means of Windsor.

March 10: Mom’s Day Picture Scandal
In response to the rampant rumors over the now-coined, “KateGate,” Kensington Palace posted a photograph of Kate and her three youngsters on social media on Mom’s Day. Along with Kate not carrying her marriage ceremony ring within the photograph, there have been a number of discrepancies within the photograph, clearly indicating the the photograph had been manipulated. Some eagle-eyed individuals, even went as far as to posit that the photograph was utterly created from scratch…because the picture of Kate’s face is a close to duplicate of her cowl on Vogue, simply over-imposed onto this “photograph.”
Then, in an unprecedented transfer, 4 completely different photograph businesses: AP, Reuters, PA and AFP, put out a “kill discover” on the Royals’ Mom’s Day photograph…for its digital manipulation. Cue the press now starting to activate the Royals, with the director of Agence France-Presse — one of many world’s largest information businesses — telling BBC that Kensington Palace is now not a “trusted supply.” We are going to see this lack of belief come into play later.

Later that afternoon, the Royals launch one other faceless, darkish and blurry {photograph} of “Kate”.

March 12: Girl Rose Hanbury “Child Mama” Rumor Emerges

Tuesday night time, Stephen Colbert brings up an alleged affair that Prince William had with British socialite, mannequin and neighbor Rose Hanbury. The {couples} (Kate and William and Rose and her husband) have been quick mates within the 2010s, till a falling out, when rumors emerged in 2019 that William and Rose had an alleged affair.
The Palace, after all, denied the rumors, however now…due to a disgruntled press…the rumors have resurfaced. British tabloids, indignant with the Palace for tarnishing their popularity with a doctored’s photograph, are actually working articles and spotlights to the tune of, “Who’s Girl Rose Hanbury?”
Many Royal Watchers theorize that Kate discovered — over Christmas — that Girl Hanbury is allegedly pregnant with William’s baby, and Kate allegedly had a psychological breakdown and is accomplished cooperating with the Palace, refusing to do appearances or her Royal duties, therefore why there was no ring within the Mom’s Day photograph, why we’re getting faux pictures of the princess, and why she will be able to’t even give the general public a 3 minute Zoom name from their residence saying she’s alive and effectively. — As a result of she’s accomplished cooperating and desires out.

Who’s Thomas Kingston? Kate’s sister: Pippa Middleton’s ex. And final week he was discovered deceased with a traumatic head harm, that was later declared to be “self-inflicted.” Many individuals are speculating that this all performs collectively.

However none-the-less, Prince William was in attendance — regardless of not too long ago canceling a talking obligation at his godfather’s funeral as a consequence of “private issues.”
March 14: Helicopter lands at Buckingham Palace
And simply to spherical issues out, as we speak, a mysterious helicopter lands at Buckingham Palace in London.
SO — what’s going on? The place is Kate?
There are such a lot of theories happening.
Don’t suppose it hasn’t crossed my thoughts that the Biden administration is capitalizing on this to maintain his personal psychological decline out of the general public discourse for some time. I’m solely half-kidding.
I actually don’t wish to speculate on right here, however quite simply follow details, and say that no matter is occurring with Kate, I pray that she is protected, wholesome, and recovering efficiently from her belly surgical procedure. I wish to imagine the official palace statements, and in order that’s what I’ll follow going ahead.
I pray that William and Kate’s marriage be sustained by means of all of this public scrutiny. And I simply hope that they arrive by means of this as a household, stronger, and as one.
Let me know what you make of all of this. Are you following the saga? Have been you conscious that every one of this was even taking place? Let me know within the feedback.
Till Monday!
