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!

I am beginning to think I have been transported to a parallel universe overnight.

How come GN is now resembling conspiracy theory HQ?

Because, if nothing else they have made a right royal hash of things. And continue to do so.

Not true, an announcement was made stating Catherine had abdominal surgery and on medical advice would not be resuming public duties until after Easter.

Kensington Palace has confirmed that it is William and Catherine. I thought so.

I’ve often been to the Windsor Farm Shop. I’ll look out for them!

It was against the guidelines of the associated press, so yes it broke their rules. It's not the same as sharing a photo on WhatsApp with an emoji added.

The guidelines of the associated press only apply to press and news pictures.

'studio' photography - which is what this is, id not vovered. Pictures taken in advance and issued to mark a particular event like this are not covered by the same rules.

I think many of us have lemsip, it just wasn’t really newsworthy?

It is definitely them. I enlarged the video to make sure. She looks great and very healthy. Lovely to see them out and about.

Duped again! Deary me what’s the palace up to? Do they think the general public are all idiots?

ronib Tue 19-Mar-24 13:53:33

Don’t care. Yes the general public are idiots. I care about that.

I can’t see that they have confirmed it’s them.
Link please.

It was on the BBC lunchtime news, and I believed it, but haven’t checked.

Why are you saying this? If it is a fake then that is between the man who took the video and The Sun and nothing to do with Kensington Palace. It looks like Catherine and William to me, an analysis has been done of the video and the time and place corresponds to what is being claimed by the man who submitted it to The Sun. People need to focus on important things not conspiracy theories.

You dont think that all the happenings in the last couple of months are a mess?
Because I most certainly do!

The Royal Family do not exist in a bubble. Very far from it.
They are a worldwide "firm". And they know this.

I would say to those that are comparing it to photos of her when she is "working" don't forget her hair and make-up have been done for maximum effect. These photos do look like her but a " normal" every day version without the glam.

She has also had a major operation and clearly lost a lot of weight which is probably why she is not always wearing her rings.

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 😀

Gosh people are really keen to believe conspiracy theories - it's amazing what people believe. Is it stirred up by Russian trolls? Putin must be laughing is head off having declared the King dead a few days ago.

The video really looks like her - but obviously she doesn't look the same after months of serious illness. Did people really thing she would emerge looking the same, camera ready as if off to a red carpet event? Also taking video on max zoom can change the perspective a bit - especially if you are trying to take stills from mobile phone footage across a carpark.
- you can see the loss of weight in her jaw, neck, ears and legs. It changes the shape of her face a bit
- she doesn't look to be wearing any/much make-up which will also alter the shape of her face

Speaking for myself - after I had major surgery I found I needed to get out after weeks confined to the house. I didn't dress as usual as my usual clothes rubbed on my scar, I didn't bother with make-up or hairstyling and probably looked very different. DH took me to .... Lidl!! I think the Wales's outing looked much nicer. It was fantastic to be out but when I got home I was asleep in bed the rest of the day.

I am beginning to think that QE II didn’t jump out of a helicopter at the London Olympic Opening Ceremony…

So the Queen was fake? Surely nobody would accuse Paddington of not being real wink wink

Oh no, that was true. Paddington himself told me.

Am inclined to agree given the mad conspiracy theories.
