The Kate Middleton mysteries, as channelled by Emery Robin (from here):

I hope Kate Middleton is photoshopping those pictures herself. I hope she had a fight with the royal family and they are all outside her door, begging to just please, let us take one normal picture of you, they all think we murdered you! Kate! Kate!

And then she puts another, even shittier, photomanipulated pic on twitter.

I do not care about the Kate Middleton conspiracy because I give a fig about the Royal Family, I care about the Kate Middleton conspiracy because it is a fascinating trainwreck from a PR standpoint which by itself is interesting because you'd think the Royal Family would be, you know, better at that sort of thing, and also because of the implications. There is clearly something going on that they do not want the British public to know because otherwise they'd just issue a vaguely optimistic statement like "the Princess of Wales is still recovering from a routine but extensive medical procedure, thanks everyone for the well wishes she looks forward to returning to her duties" or whatnot. The fact that they're putting out badly photoshopped images and then blaming her for it (literally anyone could have written that tweet!) is so intriguing. My feeling is that they are desperate to maintain an appearance of stability and like, health, because Charles' prognosis is worse than they're letting on and it's very clear that the British public is not going to react well to having to pay for another funeral (of a monarch much less popular than Lizzie was) and coronation. I am pretty sure that the resolution of this whole shebang is going to be super boring but in the meantime they are blatantly mishandling the whole situation

It’s okay honey, Kate Middleton’s gone to live on a farm. She’ll be happier there. No, we can’t go visit, but she’s with all the corgis we sent up there to be in a better place.
