I'd be happy to never hear about any of them again. It'd help if they weren't taking money from the public purse.
Kate, Princess of Wales - not seen this year.

That photo from yesterday and the AP “kill notice” blaming the source of the image (ie Kensington Palace) is the weirdest thing.
Must admit when I first saw it it didn’t seem quite right, then next time I went online a whole shitstorm had blown up with people highlighting the obvious photoshop errors.
I’m not really one for royal gossip but the whole situation is bizarre, I’m interested now. And for the royal family, absolute masters of PR, to release such a shoddy image as ‘proof of life’ or whatever which is immediately disowned because it’s fake by the world’s main news agency is so bizarre.
The obvious explanation is that it’s a composite of a few different pics because they wanted one with all the kids smiling but… given the amount of speculation around all this, I’m shocked they’d leave any room for more rumours.

William took the photograph and issued it to press agencies for publication. The photograph includes Kate and their children. The photograph has been manipulated with Kensington Palace declining to comment.
Discussion is hardly invading the family's privacy or gossip for that matter.

Maybe he's got a phone which makes a composite image using AI to ensure that everyone is smiling. No mean feat when children are involved.
I bet Holbein never had these problems when he was banging out royal portraits.

Have you ever tried to get a family portrait involving a few kids which doesn't have at least one not looking at the camera, blinking, sticking out their tongue, putting fingers up etc. so not surprised they'd take a few & merge the best of them for an 'official photograph' but nothing more sinister than that.

Idle gossipy fayre to distract the masses. Looks like it's working. How many foodbanks do we have now? Ho hum.

That's not the issue regarding the "kill notice". It's the high probability that Kate isn't in the picture at all. I'm not a photoshop expert by any means, however the first thing I saw was the clear stitching of two photos. Kate is not the person sat in that chair.
Before the "kill notice" would be issued, they would have asked for the raw image. It clearly doesn't exist.

Then they would say just that wouldn’t they?
This communication lark can be really easy - tell the truth
Or not
They’ve chose the latter

I thought that. Their PR is terrible. Just come out and say Willy is crap with photoshop if that's the issue.
The longer they remain silent the more dodgy they look. From a family with a track record of looking dodgy and not being entirely truthful.

What an own goal to photoshop an image and forget her wedding rings. And people say “why are you all gossiping!”
It’s more total shock at their incompetence despite huge resources that we’re gawping at!

I honestly have less than no interest in a photograph of those folk.
Don't wish any ill on them, but seriously, they're a dysfunctional, very strange clan who cost us an absolute fortune and help to reinforce the class system, which the good people of England seem to relish.
It's all a bit odd in my view.

What is it you desperately need to know about Kate and how will it improve your day having that information?

We need to know what we are (reluctantly) paying for. A sense of accountability for the money we waste, I mean invest in them
So I'm mildly interested in this like a lot of people and seen all the conspiracies about this photo - weird sleeve, leaves on trees, no ring on her hand, etc...
I think it's fairly innocuous and probably easily explained, they're just making an **** of it as usual. The only thing that piqued my interest is that the BBC mentions all of this apart from the ring situation, which makes me wonder if there is some truth to that....
