I agree, I just want to hear it admitted. Their uniforms are designed to inspire memories of an oppressive colonial past. We continue to parade them as symbols of our national unity. Seems stupid.

I dont know, tradition? Maybe they should mothball that stuff but you're making it sound like the mounties wear that stuff day to day. Its ceremonial garb.
Your point was originally supported by a bunch of stuff that was untrue. So if that's where you have to go to make a point...

It's this backwards, thinking-for-yourself, insanity you peasants keep dreaming up that killed the Queen. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

A lot of rumours flying around on social media this evening about some big news about to drop from the Royal Family. The BBC has updated its logo on social media and its website to the same black one that was seen when the Queen died and other news outlets are believed to be on standby for a major announcement to come.
A few Union Jacks have also apparently been lowered to half mast across the UK. Never know what to believe about the Royals on social media but there sure has been a lot of weird stuff going around about Kate and Charles lately.

Why would they do something conspicuous like fly flags at half-mast then?

Could be an indicator of the Russian election results.

A spin through the wayback machine web archive would suggest the BBC's website logo has been white font on black boxes throughout 2024 so far. Wouldn't shock me at all for there to be a big announcement to drop from them but that particular piece of information doesn't quite seem to bear out.

This whole hubbub with Kate is truly baffling. There are so many ways to play this that could have dispelled the rumors that have been mounting... but they have taken none of them. The doctored photo they released and then excused as Kate playing around with photoshop just makes it all the more bizarre. Why would Kate need to use photoshop ever? or her own social media account for that matter?
I think she's in a coma or something.

I actually think it’s probably a lot less sinister. And basically boils down to the incompetence of Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace and their respective media teams. She’s almost certainly totally fine and they just enjoy being #######s about it and not sharing updates unless they want to.

She probably looks like she is recovering from major surgery and doesn't want to be seen. I'm sure it's as simple as that

But then why release a doctored photo and blame it on Kate? That’s so weird.
I get not wanting to dignify rumours with a response but they created this scandal and now they’re refusing to extinguish it.

Frankly I give so few fatas about the Royal family I wasnt even aware she was 'missing.'
Speaking of which, when she went 'missing' can anyone account for undercoverbrother's whereabouts?

Of all the people in the royal family that should be made to go missing, she is pretty low on that list.

Yeah...she just goes about her life. Does her thing. I cant think of any scandals or anything.
Maybe thats it?
Usually she's just kind of 'there.'
And now she isnt!!

We all need to rally around our beloved Royals at this time. I think I speak for all of us when I say we look to the Monarchy for strength and leadership and our nation continues to rely on their guiding spirit. They're dealing with so much now and they've always been here for us.
We're with you Kate, may you show the same dignity and determination our King has shown
