She needs major surgery, yells of ‘we have a right to know full
details’

She love photography, tries to change the position of her daughter’s hand, yells of ‘what else is being kept from us’

She can’t do anything right, nasty speculation on her health and pounced on for a bit of photoshopping.
Don’t tell me the paps don’t fiddle with pictures all the time, I feel sorry for her.

Am I the only one to pot on shrubs, plants and take wedding band off ?

... no you're not - I remove mine when doing various things - especially if using sticky glue or something messy.

And most people now edit their photo's...

Poor woman. The speculation is distasteful.

Catherine is the most photographed woman in the world. She wears her rings in every photo published even when appearing in nursery schools for example and doing cookery/ pastey/gluey/gardening sort of things. So really a strange move on a photo published to quell the mad rumours and celebrate MD.
If she were plain Mrs Brown who would care if she wore rings or not. Anniebach you have missed the point.

I’m not a conspiracy fan but I’m aware there are endless ‘rumours’ about Catherine’s health and their marriage. We often remove wedding and engagement rings , hands can swell for various reasons. I’m surprised this media savvy couple and their PR people didn’t ensure speculation wasn’t fuelled by this

It’s totally bonkers.

A married woman not wearing her wedding band, shock horror

maddyone Mon 11-Mar-24 11:25:01

It’s a ridiculous fuss over nothing in my opinion.

vegansrock Mon 11-Mar-24 11:21:03

Yes a photo issued to dispel rumours has created more. Bad move .

HelterSkelter1 Mon 11-Mar-24 11:13:08

Didn't anyone comment at Kensington Palace or wherever her PR team reside that she had no rings on?
Surely that should have jumped out. I removed my rings during chemo as my hands swelled up at odd times. But back to wearing them now.
Just a rather strange thing to do it can hardly have been forgetfulness? Bound to prompt more questions which they must have been trying to avoid. Surely someone noticed before publication.
A shame as a lovely photo has lost its charm and the whole thing must be now giving her a massive headache.

Just seen an apology from Kate (Evening Standard) as she had played with editing the photo.

I find that I am living in a world where I struggle to separate fact from fiction. I could write on the back of a stamp what I understand about AI but I do know that it concerns me with the way it will be manipulated and not always for good. The conspiracy theorists inhabit a strange world where they take nothing at face value but pick it apart to find something they can base their weird and wild findings on. I see that photo of Kate and her children on Mother's Day as a delightful family snap taken by Prince William. I won't listen to any other wacky opinions.

There’s a long thread already Mae why not join in that one

lemsip Mon 11-Mar-24 09:46:02

it's far from the only story! and there's already a thread about this!

what about the thread re 34 bodies removed from Hull funeral director's premises and two arrests?

Clawdy Mon 11-Mar-24 09:43:00

Lots of strange theories online! It's all a bit strange though.

mae13 Mon 11-Mar-24 09:38:35

Good grief! There's so much over-analysis and various "experts" giving opinions you would think that someone had revealed that they had conclusive proof that the Mona Lisa was faked.
It just seems to be the ONLY story at the moment - and I'm tired of it!
