Forbes ^ | 3/15/24 | Mark Travers

Posted on 03/16/2024 8:36:35 AM PDT by DallasBiff

The doctored photo shared by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales—in the wake of her alleged abdominal surgery—has ignited significant controversy across various online platforms. However, the conspiracies swirling around the Princess and her health were brewing long before the emergence of this infamous photograph.

What is it that prompts such intense scrutiny and fuels the spread of conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess? Moreover, why are royalists, the apathetic and anti-imperialists all equally captivated by the media frenzy surrounding Kate?

Everything old is new again. Is this the neo "Paul is dead" conspiracy.

John, the preacher, Ringo, the undertaker, Paul, dead, George, the grave digger.

I always skip right on by the royals section in the news it’s a goofy time consuming soap opera with no effect on my reality

I wondered if she had gotten prenant - by someone other than her inbred husband.

It’s one of the few scenarios that make sense to me.

The whole thing is stupid.

Who among has taken a family photograph where everyone looks great. They simply moved some faces from one photo to the next. It’s easy enough to do if you have basic photoshop skills. The person who did THAT does not have good basic photoshop skills.

I agree with you.

Why does anyone care about these self important losers who care nothing about their country or their family?

And then their is their obvious conceit that people respect and care what they think and do.

Sadly, the cycle seems to be build someone up for some years age then viciously tear then down. It is like a blood sport in the press with zero accountability. How many times have we seen it happen to good people?

The Royal Family is covering up. Maybe Kate is getting treatment for anorexia.

That’d be sad. English aristocracy is rife with infidelities. But they always struck me as a serious, low-key (for top royals) family that were above that.

I thought very funny that there was a suggestion that Kate was MIA bc of plastic surgery, what a joke she doesn’t need any.

Kate who? Truly. I have almost zero interest in this person or those of her like; only in a passing, trivia sense do I even care in the least.

How The Princess Sparked Conspiracist Controversy

No, she had nothing to do with it. The whore mainstream media did that all by themselves.

Indeed. Occam's razor. She had a fairly major illness and surgery, which I believe the Palace has admitted to. Otherwise, following 1000 years of Royal tradition, they are not going to give you photos of her waiving from the hospital, play-by-play analysis of her physical condition, or an interview with Oprah where she claims her victimhood.

Only American government and media do that.

They’re not acting like she needed surgery. More like people who have something to hide.

Not that I GAF about fake Monarchs and their silly.royal clownhouse... but something is off.

Yeah, I always click on topics I have no interest in just to tell people how uninterested I am in these topics.
Some times it takes all day to tell people of the topics I have no interest.
Sure some people would just pass the article but, nope, it’s vital I tell people what topics I’m not interested in.

Yeah. I think people today are trying to make Kate fit into the mold of their beloved Princess Diana.

I have no doubt William will make an OK king. Just hope Kate doesn’t end up like Di.

“Leg men” were never mentioned in the article, which is the only interest the few males have in her.

Some people won’t be satisfied til they get a picture of Kate showing scars, aka, Lyndon Johnson and his app appendectomy scar.
