Just saw this on News at Ten and it clearly is NOT Kate or William. The woman is nothing like Kate and William is not as heavy as the man in the photo.

However the Sun reckons it is them, so do News at Ten. 🤣🤣

FAKE News!

The only Princess title Catherine has is Princess William, like Princess Michael. Only Princesses of the blood can call themselves Princess, (their Christian name,)of which there are only 5 entitled.

Princess Kate is the worst, and even the BBC uses it.

Jaberwok Thu 21-Mar-24 10:19:00

Why do people persist in calling her Kate, she both she and William have made it clear that she prefers to be called Catherine? Even worse is Kate Middleton! She hasn't actually had this surname since 2011.

I thought the royals always used the King Edward the something Hospital for Officers for their operations and ailments?

Had never heard of them using the London Clinic before, but there again, why not?

2013 Prince Philip was in the London Clinic for 11 days for an operation on his abdomen. His convalescence was for 2 months. I don't think we know to this day what the trouble was, and the late Queen carried on all her duties.

Probably appendix removal. Women have a lot mor going on in their abdomen 😉

The late queens youngest child was 49 in 2013, William’s youngest is 5 ,

JollyJilly Thu 21-Mar-24 06:47:36

To be honest, I do not care if it is them or not as I have enough going on in my own life to worry about what other people are up to. Just leave them alone and get on with your own lives.

Calendargirl the King Edward VII Hospital for Officers is quite small and it is possible that it doesn't have the staff or facilities to treat whatever problem the Princess of Wales has.

hollysteers Wed 20-Mar-24 19:01:57

It certainly is the Princess of Wales and I know that lovely shop, it’s just a stones throw for her and a nice little break.

To avoid all this speculation, I think it would have been a good idea for Catherine to have made a video, as we did in lockdown, thanking everyone for their good wishes.
But I imagine even that would be doubted…

For the first time ever The Daily Star has a sensible headline,
Woman Goes Shopping And The World Goes Mad.

On Tuesday, the Daily Mirror reported that "at least one member of staff was said to have been caught trying to access" Catherine's medical notes.
Now how would the Daily Mirror know this?

Presumably because an informant told them.
The positive thing about this is that there was not actually a breach, it was attempted but failed, which means that the confidentiality system in place at the hospital worked effectively. They should be able to track down who did it because each member of staff would need a unique password to view patient records, with different groups of staff having different levels of access.

Now it appears a member of staff at the London Clinic has been caught trying to access Catherine’s private medical records.

Will it ever end?

It's dreadful to think it could happen to anyone.

In this case, probably someone is after money. I don't know if the police will be involved and a prosecution ensue but a jail term is possible.

This is a hospital which had been widely used over the years by the Royal family.
Who can they trust?

It’s getting difficult to trust any sources nowadays, isn’t it? I’m beginning to have serious doubts about the late Queen having tea with Paddington bear 😀

🤣🤣🤣

You'll be doubting that she parachuted out of a helicopter with James Bond next!

True Joseanne especially where the Duchy are concerned.

Joseann Wed 20-Mar-24 08:08:34

People with class, or who have some involvement, usually say nothing, either way. The shop, just like Lambrook School, wouldn't dare to utter a word. Fact.

It’s been an entertaining thread, anyway - loved your last post Monica.

Indeed. I enjoy it when such topics evolve into the absurd and bonkers!

Great post M0nica and is it the AI-iens

lemsip Wed 20-Mar-24 07:58:37

I feel that if it wasn't them the owners of the shop would have confirmed Kate had not been in the shop. The fact that they haven't done that confirms it was indeed her.

M0nica Wed 20-Mar-24 07:57:15

I forgot to mention the 'palace insider' who has also corroborated the information I published.
