Has Princess Kate's Picture Been Tampered With?

[naomi24]

//Reuters issued a "kill notice" telling its clients not to publish the picture. The Associated Press (AP) sent out a "photo kill" email accusing the source of the image of "manipulating" the picture....The photo, designed to cool the conversation around the Princess of Wales's recovery, has instead heated all the rumours up again..//

sp, do you think she's lying?

[sp1814]

I think someone is. 

[Stableford]

Maybe in poor taste, but for the next one perhaps they could include an ai-generated image of how Diana would look now?  Doctored images are the future?!

[Barsel]

If anyone reads my post they will say I'm speculating but after seeing that 'doctored' photo and seeing Catherine is not wearing her wedding ring, it occurred to me that perhaps her long stay in the hospital wasn't abdominal, we have never been told what the operation was, and the length of time for recovery. We have questioned why did William pull out of that memorial service with such short notice. Why did Catherine and her Mother look so unhappy in that paparazzi photo? They didn't know it was being taken.

I know of someone who tried to take her own life when she found out her husband had been unfaithful. This person spent 2 weeks in hospital and had many months of mental health treatment afterwards. I will leave it there.

Well...she's been seen today.

I should have said in my post that I'm not saying Catherine has tried to take her own life, just want to make that clear.

Pasta, have looked at the photo from your link and Catherine is just staring out of the window while William is reading something.

[Auntypoll]

presuming it is her in the car, it could be her sister or a look a like for all we know the picture was so grainy. 🙃

What does it really matter?

[MargoTester]

Perhaps William was going through his Commonwealth day speech and Kate was letting him get on with it. Why should we be told what her operation was for, it's not really any of our business.

You're conflating two separate stories.

This is about why doctored photos of her and her children were released to the press.

...not about why she was in hospital. That's a private matter.

 

The photo is not a private matter.

what a load of blox, just let them get on with it. As to PW's absence, strange it was the day after Lady situation came to light - is​​​​​​​ he really going to go public on providing s​​​​​​​upport to her? More worrying I woul s​​​​​​​ay was​​​​​​​ the footage of the King's​​​​​​​ addres​​​​​​​s​​​​​​​ to the Abbey for Commonwealth Day - he's​​​​​​​ showing a lot of the purple that bes​​​​​​​et his mother in her final days - look at his​​​​​​​ hands​​​​​​​ in particular......

What do you mean?

[MargoTester]

Sp1814 I was actually addressing Barsel

[Barsel]

Sp1814 my post was obviously too long for you to read.

[naomi24]

I thought the day William cancelled at short notice was when his cousin's husband was found shot dead and assumed that's why.  Wasn't it?

[Barsel]

Naomi, I don't think William would have cancelled an important event because of that reason. The Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, (the in-laws) were there, so I can't see William cancelling for that reason.

[naomi24]

I don't know how close he was to the cousin's husband, Barsel.  They may have been best buddies for all we know and William may have been devastated by the news.  The sudden cancellation was a bit of a coincidence.

[Barsel]

I think that is what it was Naomi, a coincidence. 

I don't think it was the day the man was found dead, I think that was a few days before and I don't think the in-laws would have been at the service if that was the case.

[Barsel]

Mr Kingston was found dead on Sunday Feb 25th.

King Constantines memorial was on Tuesday Feb 27th.

So no excuse to give 45 mins notice by William.

 

[naomi24]

Two days isn't long to come to terms with  something like that Barsel - but neither of us know so no point arguing the toss.
