The 4 craziest rumors about Kate Middleton’s absence

The controversy does not end. If you know nothing about the English royal family, but see the hashtag #Wheretoskate they have been appearing for days

#Whereiskate: where did Kate Middleton go?

First, let’s recontextualize the situation a bit: Princess Kate Middleton has not been seen in public since December 25, 2023. A few days later, she was admitted to hospital. Then, on January 17, Kensington Palace announced that the princess would undergo scheduled surgery and that she would rest until Easter, when she could resume her public duties. Ok, here’s the beginning. At the same time, we learn that King Charles, her father-in-law, has cancer. Here are the facts, what is official. But rumors are spreading. We have chosen 4 to analyze.

1 – Why are there no more photos of Kate Middleton?

If people (and the internet) are wondering why no more photos of Kate have been circulating since December 25th, that’s because Real they accustomed their subjects to something else. We remember that Kate, only a few hours / days after giving birth, appeared very elegant in front of the clinic, for her three children, even with complicated pregnancies. The royal family shares everything or almost everything and this absence raises questions.

Furthermore, only two photos have been released, one dishonestly — a stolen photo of the princess in the back of her mother’s car, where she doesn’t look her best — and the other posted on the royal family’s social networks for the occasion. of Mother’s Day. We see the princess all smiling and rested, surrounded by her three heirs. The problem with this photo? She is retouched, so much so that Kate herself publishes a tweet in which she apologizes for having wanted to play with Photoshop, after the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies decided to remove the photo everywhere, because it was too fake.

2 – Is Princess Kate Middleton really dead?

These photos/fake photos add to the Crown’s lack of information on the condition True of the princess, simply puts the coins back into the machine and launches the craziest (and frankly unlikely) rumor: Kate Middleton, in fact, has been dead since the end of December (or shortly after). What ? We do not know. There are those who maintain that it would be a real feminicide, by the husband himself, due to a request for divorce following adultery by the heir to the throne.

Others speak of a devastating disease that would have affected the princess, but which the royal family wants to suppress. Those who delve into the topic on the internet say that this story of the scheduled surgery doesn’t hold up: the last time she was seen in public, Kate looked in great shape, and her official agenda for the beginning of the year (a show in Italy) had even been announced.

Finally the Spanish press, in the person of Concha Calleja, journalist from telecinco, provides more information: in truth Kate Middleton must have been in a coma after the operation, and Buckingham Palace wants to cover up the mess. Concha Calleja, who has been dealing with the British royal family for 27 years, is categorical and trusts 100% the source who revealed her story to her, while the Crown denies everything:

I repeat what I said, I said it like that, I stand by what I said despite the regrets. That’s what happens when you hit a nerve, it’s annoying. I trust my source completely and what happens is they feel upset because we found out the truth.

3 – Are Kate Middleton and Prince William divorcing?

Where does this divorce rumor come from? A striking detail in the photo retouched by the princess herself, and published on the occasion of Mother’s Day: there is no ring on Kate’s finger. Neither the engagement ring nor the wedding ring, shit. For a so-called “official” photo, she is hot. Could the couple be in the midst of a divorce? Is this why Kate is pushed by her mother, with whom she would have taken refuge? But perhaps wearing braces is not advisable during recovery because your fingers may swell after surgery. Mystery.

Finally, a new piece in the machine of rumors surrounding their separation: the Daily email posted a stolen photo of William in the car, leaving Windsor Castle, to head to Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day service. But he wouldn’t be alone on his trip: Kate would also be there, visible only sideways. She would not follow her husband to the abbey, but she would go alone to a private meeting. Rumors say that her presence in the car, without being seen, would demonstrate that the couple is negotiating a divorce and that the tension is palpable. But honestly, maybe she just had an appointment with her doctor, since she’s recovering, and they went on a little trip together, that’s all. Nothing to worry about.

4 – Did Prince William cheat on Kate Middleton?

This rumor is the most persistent, but it is not recent: William would have had (or more) extramarital affairs. In particular with Sarah Rose Cholmondeley, Marquise of Cholmondeley, Kate’s friend. Since 2019, William has reportedly dented his marriage contract by dating the Marchioness. Kate, venerated, would have put an end to her friendship with the famous Lady Rose, but nothing would be officially confirmed. And, of course, the story circulates everywhere, even on Steven Colbert’s show who claims that there could even be an illegitimate child resulting from this adultery:

Rumors are widespread, the entire Internet is on fire and wants to find out the truth. Between crazy conspiracy theories, hidden truths and missed explanations: the royal family has not emerged from the brambles. Our theory? Kate Middleton just wants to leave her alone.
