The BBC reporter someone posted here reports on rugby for the BBC. That makes her exactly as informed on this matter as everyone on here.

The picture is quite clearly Kate, just very very thin. I've suspected for a long time that she has an eating disorder - after giving birth to three children, she's about half the size she was before she got married. This is not normal - and I think her surgery has exacerbated her weight problem.

The pressure put on these women to be slim and gorgeous is unimaginable. I know of at least two other royals who have had eating disorders - Princess Diana and Victoria, crown princess of Sweden - due to this pressure. It must even worse today in the social media world, where everyone can publicize their horrible, mean-spirited comments.

The poor thing can't lose weight, can't put on weight. Can't get any wrinkles. Must always look her best. I guess she chose this way of life though. I wonder if she has any regrets! I can't imagine a much harder life.

Yeah I can’t help but feel but for their kids. At least she chose to marry a prince. Those kids are automatically born to be a public spectacle. They will never have a normal childhood. What if prince George reads on Twitter one day about how meaningless the monarchy is, and decides that he doesn’t want to be king? Like going Otd or something.

Yeah I really feel for them. William himself went through it , so at least he'll be understanding of them.

When did KP say they photoshopped the image because she was too ill to take a picture?
That’s conspiracy theorists conspiring on their own conspiracies and saying it’s fact.
People have gone so far down the rabbit hole they can’t get out of it. LOL

I'm boggled by how people are defending KP releasing a photoshopped picture that had to be killed by international publications because an original of that photo didn't even exist. It's like they're mashiach to some people on here. Smoke and mirrors. They're like the wizard of Oz.

KP said she underwent abdominal surgery and was recovering, and would return to her duties around Easter. KP tried to sell that the picture was real before they were outed that it wasn't (at which point they threw Kate under the bus for it). Obviously if you say someone is so ill that they're out of commission for months, then you release a photo insinuating it was taken then only for people to discover it was photoshopped, people are going to question why a photoshopped photo was necessary. Because they use their brains and don't believe everything coming from somewhere just because they're called "the Royal family".

As someone with family members and a good friend who suffer from HG and lose huge portions of their body weight - and kate was thin to start with - I can totally believe that she'd be super skinny after 3 pregnancies. You'd be too if you spent 27 months of your life throwing up your insides multiple times a day!

Yes! I lost 45 lbs with my last HG pregnancy. It's not just the constant vomiting - it's the inability to eat anything for months. I couldn't go near hot food my entire pregnancy. I walked into the hospital for my C-section not even wearing maternity clothing and holding my regular skirt up with safety pins because I had lost so much weight. And HG really messes with your metabolism afterwards as well.

I just saw a meme this morning. It was on Facebook so I don't know how to share it here. It shows the photoshopped picture of Kate with the kids on one side and a picture of the Bibas family on the other side. On the Kate side it says, "Stop worrying about where she is," and then on the Bibas side it says, "Start worrying about where they are!" As interesting as all the conspiracy theories swirling around Kate are, let's try to remember what is really important going on in the world. Today on Taanis Esther there is a big initiative to say shema all across the world at the same time. Let's all daven together.

Kate suffered with HG only in the first trimesters. After that she was up and around and definitely not losing weight.

I'm boggled by the assumption that there must be a deep and dark motive for the photoshopped picture. Do you use Photoshop? I do. I never used it to create something that didn't actually exist. I use it to fix minor flaws in true images. Those Photoshop flaws looked like innocent fixes to me, and typical mistakes that I make too.

I don't particularly care about the royal family, or any celebrities for that matter, I'm just wondering why so much hate for them is coming across in your posts.

What's so sad to me is that a person/couple who was loved and respected for so many years were so quickly turned into media and conspiracy theories. She was so poised and lovely in that video message - she will earn her way quickly back into hearts. But is there no loyalty?

I actually thought it was some form of cancer when it was announced originally that she was expected to be in the hospital after abdominal surgery for more than two weeks. These days they send people home as soon as possible especially rich people who can afford round the clock skilled nursing help.

But I understand why someone would try to keep it private especially with young children who wouid be impossible to shield from the media. It isn’t as if she owes the anyone the truth about her private medical status since she isn’t making important decisions in terms of actually running the country.
