other people. Not one bodyguard. That is not possible. There would be an entourage of secutity. Nobody noticed they were there apart from the guy with the camera and grainy footaage. Look how fast they were walking. And she is carrying a bag of shopping. She's too sick to speak to the public but doing this. Look at the still images. That is not Kate Middleron. And as for William, that could be anyone.

and he's deliberately looking down in order to not be identified by who?
The people around him? Or more likely, people like us who'll see this obviously fake 'sighting'.

difference in my life whatsoever regardless of the identity of the current UK monarch, nor the fates or daily goings on of prospective UK monarchs.

Why do people imagine that such things will affect them?

make, on occasion, seem hardly relevant put up against either their actual behavior or the actions of the functional heads of government and ruling bodies of their countries (for instance, look at the actual environmental record of the current ruling party of the UK instead -- in light of that what do these people matter?).

Especially when said heads are notorious pseudoscience promoting crackpots. Rather undermines the environment stuff by association, paints it as just more woo-woo from a beyond-upper-class twit.

My British cousins who have lived there all of their lives don't.

So please don't speak for all British citizens, when you cannot possibly have spoken to each and every one of them to make such an assertion.

There was an OP on here not too long ago where KM had been photoshopped into a pic with her kids.

Very curious. TY

I have dealt with many many patients who simply do not wish their private medical issues to be discussed publicly--as protected by HIPAA in this country. Some nurses will seek out another hospital to ensure their coworkers don't discover their details.

I get the issues with the future "head of State" or ultimate Royal family member and the public's belief that they have the "right" to know, but there are some sensitive health details that most anyone would not wish to have discussed in the media 24/7. For a female member, that could be especially concerning.

People like that are entirely fictional and good fiction takes hard work and a dedicated team of data professionals to make it all entertaining. She's probably just in the shop getting repairs to her servo-gears or AI algorithms. These things take time. Be patient and in no time, you'll be back to buying those commemorative tea sets that keep Great Britain solvent.
