Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery

Ugh the link is bad. It was an alert , I’ll try and find it, it’s not copying.

Here’s the link. Not much more than the fact that she had surgery.

Don't put yourself out for our sake, R1.

Does this mean Meghan is in line to the throne during that time?

Well, r3, seeing as I’m comfortably retired, I have all the time in the world for DL.

What kind of planned abdominal surgery keeps you in the hospital for two weeks?

That sounds more like a burst appendix than anything "planned."

Neither Kate nor Meghan are in line to the throne, r4.

It sounds like some kind of female issue. Uterine cancer? Hysterectomy? Pancreas? Colon? Two weeks in hospital seems like a lot. Usually they like to get you in an out post operative. Unless you have to undergo follow up treatment. If they hadn't said abdominal, I'd have wondered about a mastectomy.

She's finally having the much, MUCH needed gastric sleeve. The long stay wouldn't be needed if she weren't so fat.

Sounds like she had an hysterectomy.

Hysterectomies don't necessitate anything like 10-14 days in hospital. More like 1-3 days.

Apparently not returning to her duties until Easter...

A total hysterectomy will keep you in hospital for more than 1-3 days. That operation is painful and hard to recover from. Pain control will be something they focus on.

She'll get an epidural, no doubt. No way will they let a future queen be zoinked out on opioids for so long.

[quote]It sounds like some kind of female issue. Uterine cancer? Hysterectomy? Pancreas? Colon? Two weeks in hospital seems like a lot.

You're usually home quickly after a hysterectomy, unless there's a serious complication. I've had several abdominal surgeries with long hospitalizations. Those were for intestine removal due to inflammatory bowel disease. If she's been in good health until recently, I'd worry more about the potential for cancer than something like emergency surgery due to Crohn's or UC.

R13, not true. My sister had a total hysterectomy (not laparoscopic) years ago and was in the hospital for 3 days. Unless this is something that British hospitals do, no way was it something like that.

Two weeks is very long, even for a royal or VIP. Doctors always want the patient to be discharged to finish recovery at home whenever possible, to avoid hospital infections and the like - all clinics and hospitals, no matter how posh, are full of germs.

Something is up here. I wonder about the Crohn's angle here. She's been a bit thin for a long time. It would explain her somewhat light workload as well. Either way, wish her luck. And, with keeping this private - there will be leaks about what's wrong with her, inevitably.

Appendix removal they send you home that day or the next, same with most hysterectomies now.

I'm guessing this is something like ovarian or colon cancer with extensive removal and she needs time to adjust to a stoma.

This is a very long hospital stay by today's standards. Whatever is going on, it's serious. My heart goes out to her and her family.

Ischemic bowels, maybe? That's pretty serious, yet non-cancerous.

"In chronic ischaemic bowel, gradual narrowing of the bowel arteries can lead to central and upper abdominal pain after eating. When this is severe, patients avoid eating and lose weight."

I got the Meghan dimension game just right this time!

I play a game in which I see a thread title about the BRF and guess how many posts in until Meghan is invoked. I was right in the money! Please don’t ever stop being you, Meghan-demented.

^^^ dementia

We can’t lose another Princess of Wales! We just can’t.

R19 may be onto something. Someone elsewhere mentioned ectopic pregnancy leading to radical hysterectomy, but that's pretty extreme.

It has to be something serious, to warrant the long hospital stay and the Palace admitting to it in their press release. Because most average Britons barely get more than a few days for 99% of most surgeries. Even the wealthy, who might get a longer-than-average stay, wouldn't get two weeks unless it was really justified (see comment about hospital-stay related infections, upthread).

They risk a lot of negative blowback from the public if it turns out it was an average operation, say appendix or simple gallbladder removal, and she is seen as "loitering" in hospital, in an era when most Britons are on long wait lists for even basic treatment and procedures. They had to have thought about this.

Whoa! This is serious. I’m a woman. A hysterectomy does not necessitate long hospital stay. My spouse was released after 24 hours, as are most women. Hope she’s ok.

[scream]

She needs a mental health break from baldie and the kids.

Hope she recovers quickly and fully, whatever is going on.

Maybe a burst appendix? That’s super serious and would require long stay. The fact they’re saying it’s “planned” surgery is weird. Why would she have to cancel engagements if it was planned in advance?

Of course it could mean, her appendix burst and so we planned the surgery 10 min ago.

My guess it was an emergency situation and not something like a cancer diagnosis, which rarely requires emergency surgery. But allows days/weeks for patient to prep.

Gynecological and abdominal surgery are two completely different things.

Can I have her thing?

they're just upgrading her operating system. Kate 2.0 will have eye lasers, a working hair-acopter and a womb full of deadly robot scorpions that she can deploy of Meagan Markle ever again sets foot on Brittanic soil

Sex games gone awry. William probably stuck an air horn up her ass or fucked her with a Coke bottle, something. He seems sadistic and she seems game. Look at our analyses! You have to practically die to get a week off post surgery!

Surgery, two weeks in hospital and recovery until Easter (end of March). I'm wondering if she'll be having additional treatment during recovery.

People mag says a source confirms it’s not cancer.

Drying out actually.

If the source knows it’s not cancer, why doesn’t the source know what it is and say so?

What's on William's iPod?

Chin up, Catherine!

A kidney, bowel or liver transplant perhaps? That might justify the long stay and recovery. It was also be "planned" surgery.

She's transitioning

The statement says surgery went well but nothing about how she’s faring. If a surgeon successfully removes a tumor, that’s defined as surgery going well. Says nothing about patient’s condition beyond that.

This statement will be as dissected as carefully as the Zuberder film in the coming weeks in the media—and DL, of course.

Hope she’s ok.

She's looked painfully thin for years now. It wouldn't surprise me if it was cancer. I'm sure when the time is right, she'll tell everyone what it was and start a charity and sit down with Oprah and be Miss Empathy or whatever.

I wonder if this is related to all the problems she had with severe morning sickness.

Poor Kate. Undisciplined William will be sampling each and every one of her girlfriends while she’s gone. Ladies in Waiting indeed!

Chins up Catherine!

Fixed for R38

toots & pears luv

"They risk a lot of negative blowback from the public if it turns out it was an average operation" - Good grief, no they don't, r32.

[quote] Well, [R3], seeing as I’m comfortably retired, I have all the time in the world for DL.

OP, I'm like you, so take my advise and don't ever try to explain yourself to some workaday grunt on DL.

OK. Not cancer. But someone said Ischemic bowel? She's painfully thin. IMO when you stay in hospital t hat long and surgery is part of it, it seems more like they're adding something. So maybe it does have something to do with the colon, and she has a colonoscopy bag. It could involve removing part of her colon or treating it and it requires time to heal. If they are giving her something new, they are going to monitor it to see if her body rejects it. Ten days to 14 in hospital is extreme and so is the at home recovery period.

This truly is a damned if they do/damned if they don’t moment for Harry/Meghan. If they don’t issue a statement of well wishes, they’ll appear cold/unfeeling. If they do, will appear to be making the news about themselves. Will be interesting to see which route their PR team chooses.

Yes, they do r47. There has been endless press about the lengthy wait times for the NHS, for MD appointments, procedures, treatments, you name it, for Britons of every status and stripe. Long waits for non-emergency surgeries as well, across the board. It got worse during the Covid era....if it turns out that Catherine had a more simple procedure - say, a standard hysterectomy - and got a 10 to 14 day stay, there will absolutely be blowback and public negative response. Guaranteed.

I’ve been looking online to see if there are any rumors. Anyone have more success? We’re just guessing at this point, of course.

What the hell is going on? bBC just broke news that King Charles is having surgery too. It’s an alert, I’ll post the link as soon as it’s a story.

Doubtful she would want to stay in the hospital any longer than advised to by the medical people treating her. Wealthy or not, who would?

Sounds serious. Hopefully nothing terminal.

Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte has discreetly let it be known that she stands ready to instruct and discipline the Wales princes should the need arise.

Here’s the link to Charles.

Here’s the link to Charles.

^I didn’t create a separate post for Charles btw. I guess we can chat here?

All three of the Wales princes.

In 2016 my eldest sister was admitted to a women's hospital for treatment of severe chronic fibroids; they'd had caused such severe anemia that when her PCP saw her labs he asked her how in hell she was capable of functioning at all, let alone excel in her high-stress, long hours job. My poor sister bled ALL the time, no exaggeration. Heavily. So she'd become used to feeling drained and awful, and just kept it moving. Doc called for ambulance and sent her straight to hospital.

Ob/Gyn removed several large fibroids, one of them softball-sized, and decided to do a partial hysterectomy, leaving the ovaries intact to avoid full-on menopause. When he started sewing her back up, Sister started bleeding uncontrollably from the uterus, and Dr. had to perform an emergency full hysterectomy. She was on the table over four hours.

From a standard fibroid removal procedure that would've been an in-and-out thing, to a ten-day hospital stay, four of them in the Definitive Observational Unit. Lickety-split.

Ischemic bowel is unlikely at her age. Otherwise kind of silly to speculate although it was probably an open abdomen procedure. Laparoscopic procedures have quick recovery times. So it could be pretty serious.

Someone sent her a bowel movement!!!

Charlotte takes no responsibility for the Montecito branch.

The differences between the statements for both Catherine and KC are evident, although it should be noted up front they were put out by two different offices. Buck Palace (actually, Clarence House) and KP are two separate offices with separate comms staff.

Charles's statement clearly notes his condition, his prognosis/status, and that he's going into hospital in advance - next week. Kate's in comparison doesn't.

The British papers say the palace is the public Kate's surgery is not for cancer.

oh HRH The Princess of Wales we love you get up

^^^That should read, "The British papers say the palace is assuring the public that Kate's surgery is not for cancer."

She havink kidneys done, just like me. Little tweak, then stay out of view until bruising go down. She haff 3 babies - for sure kidneys are drooping and making big stomach

OK this must have been an emergency because they would not drop Kate and Charles health news at once un less they had to.

I just read the official statement and it’s really quite something and worrisome. If it were a common operation-like hysterectomy—they would have named it if only to prevent speculation.

The fact that they’re giving no details…including about the state of her health…is concerning. Saying the surgery went well does not equate to a statement about her health.

No one spend two weeks in hospital unless very seriously ill. They have palaces where I’m sure she could be given full nursing care. The fact they want her to remain in the hospital must mean she needs critical care for a while.

I told Lorraine to go easy on the pegging.

Quick... call Elton, just in case. His rhyming is better with as much time as possible.

From the Telegraph: The Princess was admitted to The London Clinic on Tuesday and the planned surgery was successful.

So it was planned.

They usually just remove the prostate. But that would mean no more diddling Camilla.

I agree r69. By “planned” I bet they mean she’s had symptoms for awhile, and they “planned” to take care of whatever she had. Or Does anyone think this is a Melania thing? Tummy tuck and other stuff under the guise of surgery? I don’t think so, they could actually do that in the palace, they have a full hospital suite.

Or maybe she was having something done and it went awry?

Telegraph: Royal sources said the Prince of Wales planned to combine being by both his wife and their children’s sides throughout the recovery process. He will also, therefore, postpone a number of engagements as he supports his family and will not undertake official duties while the Princess is in hospital, or during the immediate period following her return home to Windsor.

"The London Clinic is an unusual choice for the Princess, who was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital - long favoured by senior royals - when she suffered with Hyperemesis Gravidarum during pregnancy. A Care Quality Commission report published in December 2021 following an inspection of The London Clinic, found that its surgical services “required improvement”. The surgery’s leadership was found to be “inadequate” with frequent concerns being raised."

So does that suggest there's a speciality involved that required them to go to Last Chance General?

Telegraph: (interesting): The Princess was not rushed to hospital, the Telegraph can confirm. Sources said it was not something that developed over the weekend, suggesting it has been planned for at least a few days, if not more.

Telegraph: "The Telegraph understands that Kensington Palace has not ruled out more details about the Princess’s surgery being revealed in due course. Sources noted that it was the Princess’s private medical information and so was a matter entirely for her. However, it is thought that as and when she is ready to talk about it, she may opt to do so."

From the official statement: "It added: “The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private. "

So does that sound like some embarrassing bum thing where they have to remove yards and yards and yards of intestine and now she's bagging it?

Bad time to launch any retaliatory grenades for the Hardman biography. If anybody were so inclined.

So, we know that:

1) it's gastrointestinal

2) the surgery was planned

2) it's not cancer

3) it's probably not laproscopic surgery, or she would not have such a long hospital stay

4) It will have a long recovery time

5) The palace does not want to say what it was yet

6) It's serious enough that her husband and parents are canceling plans to support her through her recovery

What could it be? Doctors and nurses, any opinions?

^^Sorry, I fucked up the numbering

[quote] However, it is thought that as and when she is ready to talk about it, she may opt to do so."

She’s in a coma!! OMG!

They're lying. She has an eating disorder and is most likely in the hospital for exhaustion and issues related to that.

Honestly, though, who cares really beyond immediate family enough to announce this type of shit?

“Planned” surgery likely just means it was scheduled, as most surgeries are unless they are for an emergency.

R80, we only know it was abdominal, not necessarily gastro. The abdomen contains the digestive organs, but also the spleen, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, and organs of the urinary system. Sometimes they include the repdroductive organs so maybe saying abodminal is a PR dodge to protect her privacy and online doctors.

Worth noting is that there was an expectation they were to go to Rome this spring... not officially announced but substantially reported, including confirmed by The Telegraph a couple days before Christmas. So whatever has happened here wasn't an issue at that point. She hasn't been seen in public in 23 days.

Face lift, tit job, eyes done. Healing time= one month.

I know we don't know much about what the royals are like behind the scenes, but I've always thought Kate seemed perfectly nice. She's been in the public eye since the beginning of the millennium, yet I never heard any unpleasant stories about her until Meghan (whom I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw) came on the scene. I'm guessing that her long-running eating disorder has caught up with her and is starting to impact on her health now that she's in her forties.

^^And yet, you care enough to open and read a thread about it.

She's having 4 ribs removed.

Endometriosis. Planned hysterectomy.

[quote]She's been in the public eye since the beginning of the millennium, yet I never heard any unpleasant stories about her until Meghan (whom I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw) came on the scene.

You must've missed her not-so-nice reaction to discovering that William enjoys pegging.

I gather one of the male servants handles the future king's periodic "servicing."

Amazing how one block takes out [italic]all[/italic] the trash.

If it was her kidneys or liver, you might look for evidence of: discoloration of sclera, jaundice, or acities.

A close friend of mine who has dealt with crohn's is very thin like Kate and has had many abdominal surgeries (and infections).

R87, have you been hibernating? There have been stories of her since she started dating William.

Yep, R88 I always get a kick out of what you royal suck ups and straight fraus are getting worked up over though I did finally block most of the Meghan obsessed frauen so those don't clutter up my screen anymore.

Karma

[quote]The British papers say the palace is assuring the public that Kate's surgery is not for cancer.

It's cute that you're buying whatever pablum the Crown spits out, given their known penchant for full transparency for every royal.

First Katie now Charlie. They're dropping like the flies they are.

R94, I admit I paid very little attention to the royals until around 2018! The insane threads on DL sucked me in.

[quote]You must've missed her not-so-nice reaction to discovering that William enjoys pegging.

And you must've missed that rumor broke after Meghan appeared on the scene.

Whatever it is its good that she'll be in there that long. It sounds serious.

A 10-14 day stay right in the hospital means critical care access and constant monitoring. That is the only possible reason because I can't believe the Royals don't have the resources to have a hospital like set up right at home. No one wants to stay in a hospital that long. No one. Hospitals are gross. She could get worse just by being in a hospital. And can you even imagine how disruptive it will be what with all the security? They won't be able to keep it secret for too long. Charlotte and George are too old to not be told what's going on, and William and Catherine have friends, and her family has friends. You better believe someone will talk. Even if it's 6 months from now.

R60 and so many other people aren't getting this, your sister was in the hospital for so long BECAUSE she had complications. When she went in, they didn't originally tell her"you're going to be here for 10 days".

I've never heard of a anyone being scheduled 14 days for a surgery. Not even cancer surgery. I've worked in hospital for over 20 years.

I had emergency bowel resection and colostomy and I was in hospital for 9 days.

My guess - abdominoplasty aka tummy tick and perhaps breast augmentation. Don’t be fooled by the term “tummy tuck.” Abdominoplasty is very painful.

R90, you're an RN? Seriously? Hysterectomies do not necessitate a 14 day stay at the hospital. Even with endometriosis. Not unless there are SERIOUS complications

You should know this.

The fact that the privacy is occasioned by a need to protect the children and "her privacy" (royals usually realize they do not have privacy) suggests that this is related to her eating disorder.

[quote]“Planned” surgery likely just means it was scheduled, as most surgeries are unless they are for an emergency.

Everyone knows what a planned surgery is.

A hysterectomy, for Kate, would be a huge deal, PR-wise. She already has 3 children, but a hysterectomy would mean closing up shop for heirs to the throne (coming from Kate, at least).

Point is: I think anything hysterectomy-related would be lied about and kept secret.

No, a hysterectomy shouldn't take 2 weeks in the hospital, though.

[quote] A 10-14 day stay right in the hospital means critical care access and constant monitoring. That is the only possible reason because I can't believe the Royals don't have the resources to have a hospital like set up right at home. No one wants to stay in a hospital that long. No one. Hospitals are gross. She could get worse just by being in a hospital.

The royals have been treated as in-patients in hospitals for decades, for serious and minor ailments. Prince Phillip spent a longer period in hospital in his last year, as opposed to having medical staff called into The Palace.

And she’s in The London Clinic which has a concierge service and an award-winning chef, all hospitals may have a gross side to them, but this one is very comfortable.

She may be very ill indeed, or she may just be getting an enviable level of care for a fairly minor issue. Let’s hope it’s the latter.

[quote]Gynecological and abdominal surgery are two completely different things.

Isn't the womb in the abdomen?

I think eating disorder makes more sense. That requires recovery

She's had one child less than the Queen had. There would be no reason to lie if she had a hysterectomy. Watch out the black helicopters, R108, you don't want to do a Vic Morrow.

My guess is that it's something gastrointestinal. She could be removing some of her small intestine or even part of her colon. I do think she has an eating disorder and a ton of stress, despite her reputation for being lazy. Hence, GI issues.

No way it's a burst appendix; that would be done and dusted, already. That's an emergency surgery.

If she was having work done, they wouldn't have announced it at all, let alone like this. Are you people trolling or that stupid?

[quote] If she was having work done, they wouldn't have announced it at all, let alone like this

It’s the London. It would absolutely get out that she was there. Can’t keep that a secret. So make an announcement. Make it sound like her abdominoplasty is something else.

R23 my mom had this issue in the seventies and she was in the hospital for about two weeks with a month of recovery at home. I guess it is different now.

She and William wouldn’t have cancelled weeks of scheduled events for cosmetic surgery.

I don’t understand why anyone paying her any mind would disrespect her by calling her Princess Kate or [shivers] Kate Middleton.

Agreed r117. This may have been “planned,” and not an emergency, but also appears to be done hastily.

The estimated length of stay for surgery varies from hospital to hospital and would take into account the status of the patient. For the future Queen of England, a ten day hospital stay estimate after major surgery sounds conservative, not dire. She will have her own ward, every luxury, and a break from baldy, who won the battle over George's schooling, and the kids. If she's discharged before ten days, great, but if she had to stay longer than the LOS estimate, all hell would break loose.

You know, r118, I actually was considering what to call her in the post title, and then figured I was overthinking it waaayyyyy too much.

[quote] A hysterectomy, for Kate, would be a huge deal, PR-wise. She already has 3 children, but a hysterectomy would mean closing up shop for heirs to the throne (coming from Kate, at least).

Since each new royal male child eventually means a dukedom (which costs a fortune), i think she's done. Her last child was five years ago anyway.

[quote] I don’t understand why anyone paying her any mind would disrespect her by calling her Princess Kate or [shivers] Kate Middleton.

Honey, this isn't the Court Circular. No need for the Nicholas Fairford prissiness.

I have no respect for her, so…Kate Middleton it is…

She shouldn’t have eaten those anonymously gifted bananas.

Diverticulitis with colostomy?

Rose Hanbury’s mouth is watering.

Get well soon, Princess Catherine.

Two weeks in the hospital is serious.

A hysterectomy would not be remotely controversial. She's forty-two and already has three kids.

Hysterectomy requires a max of 5 days hospital stay, not two weeks.

Why Were King Charles and Kate Middleton's Medical Conditions Announced on the Same Day?

So whatever it is, it's recent because:

she was last seen in public on Christmas day - a paper says it's been 23 days since she was last seen

Sources confirmed to the Telegraph she and William were to visit Rome this spring. If something of this scale were on the books, it never would have gotten out there or would have been denied.

It's highly unusual news like this about her would also go out on the same day as health news about the king

They have no problem telling us about the sitting King's Prostate but the wife and mother of two future kings is all hush hush. Makes no sense.

I suppose Princess Kate can be a term of affection like Princess Di, which was widely used.

Technically, she is Princess William, not Princess Katherine, but that’s so stiff, or The Princess of Wales, but that’s so cumbersome.

But “Kate Middleton” is definitely disrespectful.

Diverticulitis. Ulcerative colitis. Pancreatitis (as opposed to pancreatic cancer.) A cardiac issue. Meningioma or another brain tumor. I hope it's nothing with a bad prognosis.

All could necessitate a lengthy stay. All are potential illnesses that could sideline a previously healthy 40-something-year-old woman and could require an extended hospitalization depending on her overall condition.

Technically she's Catherine, r135.

Really?

Catherine, Princess of Wales

Head-to-toe plastic surgery. A complete makeover.

Kiss me, Kate.

It was an abortion, William!

She's anorexic and they're keeping her there to make sure she eats. I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me.

No one calls my baby too black!

Time to employ Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie as working royals.

[quote] Diverticulitis with colostomy?

Even with a colostomy, a sigmoidectomy/bowel re-section for diverticulitis should just be two or three nights in the hospital after the surgery.

[quote]Since each new royal male child eventually means a dukedom (which costs a fortune)

Why does a dukedom cost money? (Serious question) Can't a person just be named a Duke of some existing property estate?

This Princess Cate health news is DL discussion worthy.

[quote] But “Kate Middleton” is definitely disrespectful.

Honey, you're posting on a board where her mother-in-law has been called everything from Queef Lorraine to the Duchess of Cornhole.

If "Kate Middleton" is too crude for your delicate courtly sensibilities, this forum is going to be much too much for you.

"Queef Lorraine" will never not be funny.

I’m really referring to the news media, not DL. I know here disrespect is a virtue.

R146 Mine was 7 nights (partial hemi-colectomy, removed 11 inches of bowel) in the hospital because of the serious pain meds involved post-op. If it's that or any of a dozen other conditions, concomitant illnesses or conditions can make the stay longer, as could an infection.

And I'm not a princess - they'll take good care of her. They did give me a private room, though.

[quote]My guess - abdominoplasty aka tummy tick and perhaps breast augmentation

What tummy does she have to tuck? She's tight as a board, she must have totally flat abs. Not an ounce of flab there to snip or tuck. The breasts I can see, but she's have those done while "on vacation" - no way would Kensington Palace send out a four paragraph public health alert on her for some flighty cosmetic surgery.

Re a ruptured appendix: didn't Stephen Colbert just have this, last month? it was serious, and he was in hospital for well over a week I think (someone else can look this up). As the future Queen, they would estimate a 10 day+ stay for this.

"She's anorexic and they're keeping her there to make sure she eats. I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me."

Which is it?

I am sure if she were still just a commoner, they’d kick her out in two days. Royalty has its privileges.

Ruptured appendix is requires emergency surgery, not planned surgery. And I suspect they would not be concerned about privacy if that were the case.

[quote]A 10-14 day stay right in the hospital means critical care access and constant monitoring. That is the only possible reason because I can't believe the Royals don't have the resources to have a hospital like set up right at home. No one wants to stay in a hospital that long.

Royals used to have hospital-type care set up at home, in the palace, but that was decades ago. Modern medical care means a stay in hospital for certain serious procedures and recuperation periods. A home set-up, for example, doesn't have immediate life-saving measures like a crash cart or defib paddles, or a surgical suite nearby.

I know that Kate hasn't been seen in public since Christmas, but has William? I don't recall seeing him either in the past few weeks. The Fail says he hasn't been seen since the holidays either (link in next post).

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Priorities, People.

I'll be interesting to see if she maintains her current reed thinness after she recovers.

If whatever she needed to treat affects her estrogen production, there goes the metabolism.

Someone with legs and arms like hers is in no way anorexic. Her legs in particular are killer.

Maybe she's an exercise-holic, but she is definitely getting her daily serving of protein.

Like most of us, she’ll wake up one day and her waist will be gone, R159.

I recently found a belt that I wore in my 30s and I almost wept.

Could it have been another pregnancy but one where she miscarried with some sort of catastrophic repurcussions?

Apologies to the ladies reading, I'm not going to claim knowledge of how that type of thing works, so any information you've got to impart on that medical subject would be helpful.

But please, if it IS miscarriage related, no one tell certain states here in the United States! Princess Catherine doesn't need murder charges from backwoods morons from red states added to her current health problems.

She will have likely been given an entire floor or wing of the hospital all to herself.

She probably has fibroids and/or a (possibly related) hysterectomy. The fact that she's in there for a "fortnight" surely has more to do with her royal status than to her condition. Other bitches getting their uteri yanked out are tossed back into the fray after a day or two (with painkillers should they be so lucky) with the sage advice not to laugh or cough lest their stitches burst.

It's a private hospital. You can imagine there's no unease about whether the bill will be paid.

Transitioning?

R157, the Mail says William was seen a few days ago giving CBEs to people with motor neuron disease.

Well, this sounds ominous. The only people I know who have had hospital stays in excess of a week have been extremely unwell/at death’s door. I had a bilateral mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. That was major surgery with a difficult recovery yet I was released after just four days. I thought I should have stayed one more day but doctors practically push you out the door now to recover at home unless you develop major complications and/or have serious comorbid conditions.

Fuck no, R4

She’s got ugly legs…her calves are larger than her thighs…yuck.

On Meghan's iPod.

You're right, r169. Neither Meghan nor Catherine are in the line of succession. That was a particularly dumb question.

Did she bring her own mattress like Camilla did when she was hospitalized?

Can William go without sex for two weeks?

She’s getting pretty, big tits!

The royals have the wherewithal to set Kate up at home if she was having a standard recovery.

Something must have occurred during the surgery which left her in a critical-enough state that she required hospital care, i.e., they must fear that her condition may destabilize and that she may have to be whisked into surgery. Something serious has occurred.

Notice the statement issued makes no assurances guaranteeing her recovery, merely a timeframe for how her recovery should hopefully transpire.

R174, no, but what does that have to do with Kate?

BREAKING NEWS

Charles will attend hospital next week to be treated for an enlarged prostate.

Aides say King's condition is benign and he will have a corrective procedure.

I wish princess Kate a full recovery. It hasn’t been easy for her. That jealous cunt meg has been coming after her for years. This is the result

[quote]She’s got ugly legs…her calves are larger than her thighs…yuck.

Lol, we have some lesbians or closeted fraus who used to wax poetic about her taut, supple legs and torso. It sounded like they were flicking their beans while typing.

Hope you get good doctors

Charles and Kate in the hospital.

^ Camilla, more like.

R166 I always found Kate to be a younger version of Caitlyn Jenner.

Strange, r184, because this is a younger version of Caitlyn Jenner.

R178, My doctor told me a healthy prostate should feel pliable, like the tip of your nose.

Ectopic pregnancy? Though I'd be surprised if they were trying to have another one. She has difficult pregnancies and they've got their hands full with the kids they've got.

R187, Especially that brat Louis.

R187 They ought to have more spares cuz George is gay, Charlotte is a psycho, and Louis is the black sheep of the family like Harry.

Yes, R189, well spotted. Thank God you're here.

I nominate Major Johnny R189.

Imagine the drama if this were happening in Montecito:

Slow-speed pursuit to the OR?

Throwing tea at the nurses?

What if a space heater somewhere in town starts smoking?

Is that a price tag hanging from my hospital gown?

Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening emergency. I'd also be surprised if it was a hysterectomy. She's young to have that extreme surgery unless it's cancer. Fibroids are more likely if it's a reproductive organ issue.

LOL R192

Kate arriving at the hospital with Charles.

Could it be... the fibromyalgia?

[quote]Sounds like she had an hysterectomy.

Most hysterectomies, especially on younger thin women like her, are done robotically…which is an outpatient procedure.

If she needed an open radical hysterectomy, it’s because she has cancer.

Picture it, R192. Megs would arrange to accept an award from her sick bed a la Joan Crawford.

Let’s hope that it isn’t cancer.

I’d rather have Trump get cancer than Kate.

This must be a terrifying time for the children. With a grandmother who died young and a great-grand parents recently deceased, the possibility has to have crossed their minds (or more), at least for the eldest.

Attempted suicide?!

The only abdominal surgeries that require two weeks in the hospital are extensive cancer surgeries or organ transplants.

[quote]Most hysterectomies, especially on younger thin women like her, are done robotically

How fitting in her case.

That and cancer would make me sad R201. I’m hoping it’s relatively uncomplicated female problems and/or exhaustion.

I think it is telling that they waited a day to announce that she had the surgery. That points to something having gone wrong during the surgery and they were monitoring her recovery throughout the night. Had it been without complications, it would have been announced as part of the evening press.

It points to the fact that they wanted to get the surgery and a day of recovery out of the way first, before the media and online frenzy was unleashed, r205.

Some people will do anything for attention.

[quote] They're lying. She has an eating disorder and is most likely in the hospital for exhaustion and issues related to that.

100%. Everyone knows she's anorexic.

Either that, or what R201 said.

Between the constant rumors of William cheating with Rose Hanbury, and the revelation that it was Kate Middleton who uttered the racist comments, in addition to the eating disorder, she must be a huge mess mentally.

Please don’t make prank calls to the hospital.

All the fat cunts on here accusing her of being anorexic. You only wish you could resist those carbs.

It’s either: (1)mental breakdown, or (2)full-body lift “mommy makeover” surgery.

Or cancer.

Somewhere in Montecito.....

Pussy tightening surgery!!

"100%. Everyone knows she's anorexic."

Prove it, fatty.

Complete digestive system removal for weight management.

Suicide attempt.

Anorexia.

Mental breakdown.

Not all Royal women are as fucked up as Diana or Meghan.

[quote] Not all Royal women are as fucked up as Diana or Meghan.

Neither of whom has been hospitalized as many times and for as long as Kate Middleton.

I think you're confused about who really is "fucked up."

Oh hi Meghan! ^^^

"Neither of whom has been hospitalized as many times and for as long as Kate Middleton."

Have you a spreadsheet of times, dates and durations of hospital stays for all three women?

Gender reassignment.

Had a full hysterectomy and went home the next day. They use robots now for this with small incisions. Long stay could be just a status thing, or it was a full exploratory scalpel incision, or there are other organs involved. If they operate on the intestines they keep you in the hospital until your bowels are functioning properly again. Can't blame her for not wanting the gory details to get out.

[quote]No one wants to stay in a hospital that long. No one. Hospitals are gross. She could get worse just by being in a hospital.

100% correct, R102. My sister (the one I posted about @R60) among other things, is an RN. The hospital where she had her surgery is very highly rated, and specializes in women and neonatal care. At least 4 times during her stay, she and I called Hospital Services to complain about lack of cleaning in her suite. Floors not mopped, trashcans not emptied (when they were, no fresh can liner replaced).

One afternoon when I arrived to visit, her Dr had just left after reaming HS, Nursing Services, AND Sister; he'd caught her out of bed and on her hands and knees putting antibacterial foam on paper towels and mopping up her own bathroom. She just could not take the sight and feel of her toilet and floor smeared all over with BLOOD from her female parts (she was still leaking blood post-surgery). She wasn't even supposed to get up and go to bathroom by herself, let alone CLEAN HER OWN BATHROOM, but even using the call button she couldn't get duty nurse to help her with toilet needs.

Hospitals are scary places.

It’s not just 10-14 days in the hospital. She’s off work until after Easter. That’s two and a half months.

It can’t be cosmetic. It’s one thing to try and hide cosmetic surgery. It’s quite another to have cosmetic surgery but claim you are ill. If the truth got it her reputation would never recover.

I’m think it has to be:

1. Eating disorder or substance abuse or severe mental health crisis or all of them and it requires extended inpatient treatment. She doesn’t look at death’s door thin, but she is extremely lean and could have dropped more weight since her last appearance and done it in an unhealthy way.

2. Surgery that was not expected to be too serious, but went drastically wrong and she had a stroke or something that is going to require rehab.

3. Cancer. When she changed her hairstyle recently and it looked like a wig I wondered about this.

Could be both 2 and 3.

I was in the hospital for a long stay after going septic during a simple surgical procedure. My bowels were nicked during surgery. Going septic that is what happens and it can kill you.

Another possibility would be Diverticulitis and the issues that can crop up when it becomes serious. Removal of a section of your bowels could warrant an extended hospital stay. For more information on the differences between diverticulosis and diverticulitis, plus related treatments and issues that can occur when it becomes serious, check out the attached link. This is also something I personally experienced.

Maybe she was inspired by Farah Fawcett to seek treatment before she gets her ass handed to her.

[quote]It’s not just 10-14 days in the hospital. She’s off work until after Easter. That’s two and a half months.

With that timeframe: she’s either having inpatient treatment for an eating disorder or substance abuse. Or she has metastatic cancer and needs to recover from surgery and then start chemo or radiation right away.

Everyone giving their experiences with hospitalization times here is American. Other countries health care systems don't necessarily toss patients out right after major surgeries. My friend's mother had an uncomplicated abdominal hysterectomy in Germany and was in hospital for just over a week.

From the NHS website: "A hysterectomy is a major operation. You can be in hospital for up to 5 days after surgery, and it can take about 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover."

Granted that 10 days to 2 weeks still seems excessive, she is a future queen. She may also end up being discharged sooner. The Palace would probably prefer to give an estimate of a longer hospital stay than have to later extend it if she had some complications. Given her age, my guess is hysterectomy for something benign like fibroids or excessive bleeding. Uterine cancer would be less likely (but still possible) in a multiparous, slim woman in her early 40s.

R227 This is what I said at R120. It's not a popular take.

[quote]It’s not just 10-14 days in the hospital. She’s off work until after Easter. That’s two and a half months.

R222, I had spinal surgery + 2-level fusion in 2011, and was 3.5 months out of work while recovering.

My sister was supposed to be out 3 months post-surgery, but begged her Dr to let her return to work at 2 months. He cleared her to do half-days for the remainder.

It isn't at all unusual.

Kidney transplant

As a close, concerned relative, I called in a "Welfare Check" for dear Katie and suggested they put a 5150 hold on her.

One can never be too cautious.

Hernia?

They have said it is not cancer. There is no upside to lying.

The hospital specializes in digestive disorders, perhaps a condition that was managed became acute? Supposedly there is vid on X of a royal motorcade arriving at the hospital on 12/28 so she could have been there for treatment.

Something like Crohn's or diverticulitis is very painful. Wish her a comfortable recovery.

Glad they have confirmed it is not cancer.

Kate at Christmas. There's more meat on a butcher's apron.

This fits the recovery timeline that has been laid out.

R235, She does look thin.

The statement is a little odd. It almost but doesn’t quite suggest that she wants to keep the details private as a way to maintain normalcy for her kids. But how would choosing to disclose or not disclose a bowel condition impact her kids’ normalcy?

And then at the end it says that she looks forward to reinstating as many events as possible, as soon as possible. Not that she looks forward to a resumption of her duties.

It doesn’t come across optimistically to me.

The more I think about it, it doesn’t seem that it could be an eating disorder or substance abuse or any kind of mental health issue unless as a consequence of the condition she actually needed abdominal surgery. They aren’t going to flat out invent something about abdominal surgery. She had some procedure done above her knees and below her neck.

Crohn's surgery and recovery can be grueling. A friend of mine had surgery and was out of work for weeks.

If she needs a temporary or permanent ostomy, I can see them wanting to be discreet about it.

Prostate surgery ? Or was that for the King ?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Hmmm… doesn’t Crohn’s often require unscheduled trips to the bathroom? Wouldn’t this have been noticed?

Can you imagine how horrible she looks under that dress at R241?

And they say the camera ADDS pounds. Which means, she's nothing but skin and bones under her clothing.

Kateorexia Nervosa, indeed!

DL removed my comment on R241 because I linked to a Daily Mail photo. Kate wasn't wearing that fascinator when she arrived; someone mistook her for a hat rack.

R239 Exactly. You do not want your children being teased or bothered by their schoolmates and friends about their moms poop bag. TMI time.

Everyone knows why Duchess of Bulimia is hospitalized. Yet you deranged cultists pretend to be puzzled. Laughable😂

They call the Princess of Wales "Kate" in the media because her title now (Princess of Wales) and her previous title (Duchess of Cambridge) and even her actual first name (Catherine) all have so many letters in them that they're unwieldy for headline writers. So she has always been just "Kate" for catchy tabloid headlines, and so "Kate" is how she is known to the public.

I guess since the public knows her best as "Kate," to refer to her in a longer or less sensational pieces requires referring to her by a first and last name. "Kate Cambridge" was just temporary (as everyone knew), and so also is "Kate Wales"--and they both sound very stuffy. So they kept Middleton.

She will one day just be "The Queen" which will make everything easier. Short enough for tabloid headlines (which "The Princess of Wales" is not), but it will be still correct.

Sure the "insider" Lady C has the real story. Recall a month before the Queen died of bone cancer she claimed all Her Majesty had was a bad case of piles.

Does her fanny stink?

Amateur.

My friend had diverticulitis last summer, without operation, and stayed for a week. They kept monitoring her and the infection to avoid bring operated and she couldn’t eat for so she had to be intubated. It was a private hospital so they had no pressure to release her, on the contrary.

Hope she gets better and is not serious.

My sister had fibroids. She bled a lot. Hemorrhaged blood. It was so bad she had to lie down with her legs and feet elevated and an ice pack on her stomach. They put her in the hospital for an "ablation?" to remove the fibroids but they ended up removing her uterus because things got messy. She needed a transfusion, too. She was in the hospital for about 5-6 days. I Remember because my mother had to baby sit and my t wo nephews were terrible little shits. Now maybe Catherine has some underlying medical condition that requires extra care if she is undergoing surgery. They may have discovered she has a heart condition or something.

^^^^ So could be anything really R226

Diverticulitis is usually rare for someone as young as Kate.

[quote] I’d rather have Trump get cancer than Kate.

How brave of you to say so here.

Speculation on here that it was a suicide attempt or anorexia. Kate isn't self-absorbed enough to make an attempt on her own life or starve herself for attention. She loves her kids too much.

That's more a Diana or Meghan move.

She had some ribs removed to appear slimmer.

There are some real fucking lunatics on here! Check out R223's hot take;

"2. Surgery that was not expected to be too serious, but went drastically wrong and she had a stroke or something that is going to require rehab."

"3. Cancer. When she changed her hairstyle recently and it looked like a wig I wondered about this."

She's getting her tumor removed.

[quote] Hmmm… doesn’t Crohn’s often require unscheduled trips to the bathroom? Wouldn’t this have been noticed?

They schedule everything for those poor royals. No wonder Harry quit.

Perhaps something went wrong during the planned surgery - caused an infection or a fever that is difficult to get under control.

Exploded colon!

I have no qualms about gossiping and speculating, but I do hope she’s OK.

That said, what will Harry and Meghan’s inappropriate response be?

1. An offer to fill in for some of the more desirable and high profile engagements (even though they are very busy and it’s very inconvenient), provided the security, transportation, and lodging arrangements of of an appropriate caliber.

2. A statement of acknowledgment and support for the fear Will and Kate must be experiencing, even though it’s not as scary as the high speed car chase they barely survived.

3. They’ll send a few sandwich platters.

4. Sorry to hear, but when Harry was a young child his mom didn’t just have surgery, she DIED.

5. Something about karma.

Kate is not too thin. The public has gotten so used to overweight people that anyone smaller than Lizzo or Beyonce is seen as having an eating disorder.

Now walking next to a black relative is no longer the "Hardest thing she's had to do."? Happy for her.

Duchess of Sussex has issued a response to Katies tragic hospitalization.

Walking next to rancid cunt @R265

If it’s some kind of bowel disease, no more anal sex for William. He’ll have to find another willing participant.

[quote]my guess is hysterectomy for something benign like fibroids or excessive bleeding.

R227, tell me how you've never had or known someone with fibroids/excessive bleeding without telling me you've. . . .

"The hospital specializes in digestive disorders, perhaps a condition that was managed became acute?"

A colostomy bag adds ten pounds.

Buckingham Palace said it was an abdominal issue.

If the operation were a hysterectomy, wouldn't the palace say it was a vagina issue?

R272 Because "Buckingham Palace" spokesman are masters at lying you silly twit.

r258 a post-surgical stroke isn't out of the question. She could have gone in for a simple procedure and had complications. Stroke or PE are both very serious and would justify the lengthy recuperation time.

R269 I've known a number of women that have had hysterectomies for fibromyomas menorrhagia/hypermenorrhea as well as prolapsed uterus. These are considered "benign" as they are not malignant. I'm in the medical profession.

I wish people would stop polluting this thread with bullshit about the California people. This is about Kate having surgery etc. and given the level of trust that does not exist between the two families, I doubt very much that many if any details on her medical condition are known beyond the closest family members. Particularly the ones who will be doing more work, like Sophie and Edward.

It's funny how news comes out. I can recall several occasions when the family was walking from church stopping to chat with well wishers, and Kate or William or Charles or whomever would mention something that ended up being news worthy. Nothing earth shaking but till. I have a feeling will learn a bit more in the weeks ahead.

Middleton plotted for a decade to get where she is today. Sick with a cheating husband. Be careful what you scheme for..

Well, I for one wish King Charles well with his hysterectomy, and hope Princess Kate’s prostate gets the attention it deserves.

R276 All good. Not hospitalized. Sending our ❤️

I spent 2 weeks in hospital so they could give me a particular medication every 4 hours. It was supposed to be month but they let me out early for good behavior.

Rehab!

Diana died from a car accident not an eating disorder. Her bulimia ceased when she eliminated the cause: her abusive cheating turd of a husband. Note to Kate Middleton.

She’s off work until after Easter.!!!!

But what if UK is attacked?

Hold me David!

Some people will do anything to get out of working.

[quote] If the operation were a hysterectomy, wouldn't the palace say it was a vagina issue

A uterus isn’t a vagina.

I call BULLSHIT! Didn't see this on The Crown!!

All the things they’re throwing out there, it’s all a ruse. She’s having a tummy tuck.

Oh…she was the one who asked about the Sussexes baby being born dark skinned? Cunt. I still hope that it’s not cancer. I hope something shows up in AGC.

It does sound serious and if her procedure was planned I’m sure they were not expecting it to take her out for so long which explains the public announcement.

Sadly something went terribly wrong and she could be in a coma for all we know which would explain the need for two weeks in the hospital.

Hopefully she recovers soon.

"Planned " simply means they were able to schedule it. It means it was not technically an emergency. If it were described as "unscheduled" that means it's an emergency. For all we know she may have been under doctor's care and being treated for weeks or months and tested and finally determined she had to get surgery ASAP, so it was scheduled, as in "Your Highness, we'd like to get this treated as soon as possible. We can get you in next week."

I was feeling very sick one day and a friend brought over all these over the counter medications and I just got sicker. My friend called an ambulance and I was admitted immediately and given all kinds of tests. At 9pm a doctor comes in and says I have to have my gallbladder removed at 11 that night. I said can't I make an appointment and come another day? I wanted to go home. She looked at me in shock and said that would be a really bad idea.

At 5am a Dr who I had never seen before comes in trailed by 4 or 5 very young interns and says you were in very bad shape. And these young kids are nodding yeah. They released me that morning and I took public transportation home.

She's finally getting her tubes tied.

I hope she gets better soon. Abdominal problems can kill you.

Cancer

Eating disorder treatment

294, I say either GI issues or fibroids.

I have Crohn’s and had a resection. I was in the hospital for three days after the surgery and back to work six weeks after that. It is true however that they don’t release you until your intestines “unfreeze” Luckily/unluckily I have a very bad reaction to opiates so I unfroze earlier than a person on appropriate painkillers would have. I have a friend you had the same surgery for a different reason and her intestines took 17 days to start working again.

Who, not you

[quote]She’s having a tummy tuck.

What tummy?

She was much to thin. This has everything to do with her GI tract. stomach, pancreas, liver gall bladder, colon, etc. Bet money.

R265 wins the thread!

OUCH! But so true.

I don't think the long hospital stay means anything, but the fact she won't return to work is more telling.

Louis has shown his true colors time and again. He probably rode toward her on his tricycle while she was on a step ladder…thus sending her over a balcony.

It’s all for you, Louis!

So, THIS is a big reason why a "slimmed down" monarchy doesn't work.

King Charles is incapacitated.

Kate Middleton won't be able to do anything until April (maybe).

William won't be able to do anything while Kate Middleton is incapacitated.

Who remains to take care of Royal Family duties?

Only Anne, Edward, and Sophie.

By icing out all the other members of the BRF, Charles has really backed himself into a corner.

Sorry!

They announced that she’ll be in the hospital for 2 weeks after she already had the planned surgery. The long hospital stay and postponement of engagements for several months seemed like it wasn’t planned. So something tells me it’s complications from surgery. The scariest possibility being not waking up from general anesthesia.

I'm free, R304!

For a price.

We love you Kate! Get up!

There’s no surgery to treat eating disorders.

I really don’t know what the hell the royals do that’s indispensable, r304. Yes, supporting charities is a good thing, but they don’t need to pass bills to keep the government running, or enforce laws. Whatever they do is a nice-to-have, not life-essential.

She can’t leave the table until she finishes her meal..which is expected to take 2 weeks.

^^^no, but it can create problems that require surgery.

Does bulimia count as a digestive disorder?

Still cunts @R279

You forgot Camilla @R304

Was it to take the stick out of her ass?

R309. They perform almost all of the ceremonial functions. If a nation can’t receive visiting heads of state, etc.that is a problem.

Ugh sounds like her intestines are bad.

She must be the longest-surviving and most fertile anorexia sufferer in the world based on DL diagnoses.

[quote] Can William go without sex for two weeks?

No! I’ve got him pegged.

R316 Oui Oui! We haven't been able to receive visiting heads of state for 225 years and the queue of them now stretches for kilometers outside Paris. Mon Dieu!

R307 Louder dear!

R320. Yes, if the UK became a republic, the illnesses wouldn’t matter. It is not.

R397 You're gutsy Elder Lez.

I hope she has her hair short and regal like Elizabeth or in a Princess Anne beehive with gray when she gets older. I will not stand for the Queen having long hair like she's a 20 year old vixen!

Cut that hair! You're not going to the clubs anymore.

R316, in your response, you totally made my point about them not being essential. Ceremonial is all they are. The rest of the world that doesn’t have royals has figured it out.

Tomorrow's Daily Mail headline: "Let's pray they're both okay". Mary!

The bast majority of democracies in Europe have a separate ceremonial head of state. The rest of the world hadn’t figured it out. But someday they will be as good as America, we can hope.

Does she have bulimia? If so, maybe she's destroyed her esophagus and needs a replacement.

[quote]They're lying. She has an eating disorder and is most likely in the hospital for exhaustion and issues related to that.

That was my initial thought too, R83.

[quote]There’s no surgery to treat eating disorders.

R308, there are surgeries to treat the damage caused by eating disorders.

Anorexia f*cks up the body and has a high mortality rate. Heart failure and cardiac disorders, vascular diseases, kidney diseases, bone diseases, colon and stomach issues, etc., and malnourished people don’t bounce back from surgery the way other people do.

Who is going to pull the cord on those little curtains that reveal a plaque on the wall of some factory or social center?

Ischemic colitis (or something similar) from anorexia seems more likely if it's related to an eating disorder. Her appearance over the years is more consistent with that than bulimia, though anorexics will sometimes purge as well.

Maybe the American First Lady could fill in? Or one the governors’ spouses?

[quote] Someone with legs and arms like hers is in no way anorexic. Her legs in particular are killer.

Her legs and calves are genetic. I can lose weight, not exercise, get a flabby mid-section. However, my calves will still look developed.

Hmmm I don’t know. Looking at her pics, she definitely appears to be very thin. I think her face looks very healthy, maybe that’s why people think she’s not anorexic. But if you look at her torso, she’s a stick.

There was this blind item:

"Apparently, there was a problem with a risky pregnancy which is why the emergency surgery was needed, not planned. The ginger haired one reached out to someone about going over because of all the health emergencies, but you know who said nope to that. You know who also tried to buy a house but had to settle for renting a place in Los Angeles, because she didn't qualify for the loan."

Decades of staring obsessively at themselves in the mirror has given Dataloungers a warped idea of what it means to be pathologically thin.

The Times: It is understood that her condition does not involve cancer, but given the length of time she is expected to be in hospital, and her expected slow return to royal duties, her surgery is unlikely to have been minor.

Abdominal surgery may mean the stomach, appendix, kidneys or bowel, or the reproductive system. Patients having abdominal surgery typically need a general anaesthetic, and surgery may be open, involving a five to seven-inch incision, or minimally invasive, in which case several tiny openings are made through which the surgeon inserts tools to operate.

BREAKING: Lady Colin Campbell reveals Duchess of Cambridge is hospitalized of CASTRATION & PENIS amputation. Claims she knows the signs.

R336, I disagree, and I can’t believe that anyone looking at photos of her can deny she’s very thin. Now, she might be a healthy thin, but more likely, she’s a sickly thin.

You can be very thin and healthy. She’s been at the same weight for years.

She's a healthy thin. You can't fake the face. Until today, she was fine.

Pathologically thin. Tell us your secret R336

R335 Please repost in english.

[quote]Apparently, there was a problem with a risky pregnancy which is why the emergency surgery was needed, not planned.

Miscarriage that resulted in hemorrhaging and the need for a hysterectomy?

A fetus that tested positive for Down syndrome that they decided to abort in the second trimester, necessitating a cover-up?

R344. Abortions are pretty low risk if performed at n a hospital. You’re not in the hospital for weeks.

I think ectopic pregnancy and something went wrong ending it.

Wouldn't be surprised if Charles and Kate ate some poisoned banana bread. /s

DL explains the female reproductive tract for the world’s benefit.

Did the fetus, desperate for nourishment, claw itself out of her abdomen Alien-style, creating gaping wounds?

You don't need to add the "and something went wrong" to an ectopic pregnancy, R346

Who will be William's second wife, now that this one has gone defective at 42?

[quote]Pregnancies in women with AN are considered high risk.

R350, I do if something went wrong during the procedure to resolve it.

Sorry not sorry.

R352. She’s had three successful pregnancies while “ anorexic”. She had severe morning sickness while pregnant which is generally a favorable indicator if a successful pregnancy.

BREAKING: The Duchess of Cambridge has been given an emergency implant in an attempt to save her life. Prayers of a Nation🙏

As so many have already said, she's had 3 successful pregnancies (with normal spacing). This would suggest she is not anorexic. She looks slim, but healthy. If she does have Crohn's disease or UC, I sincerely hope she will ultimately acknowledge it to bring attention to the disease and stigma. If she's just having a hysterectomy for fibromyomas or excessive bleeding, she can keep that to herself. Everyone knows someone who's had that.

After reading all the grizzly details of this creatures reproductive system is it any wonder I prefer cock.

Don’t read about your own wife’s emergency c-section, Eddie! 🤮

She is slim and fit - she’s just not American, fatties!

I bet she got her uterus yanked.

Her digestive tract is undergoing certain elements of refurbishment.

Everything from the long hospital stay and recovery time sound like a non-keyhole operation for Crohn's disease.

Yeah this sounds like bowel surgery. It takes forever for the bowel to "wake up" after that procedure and they don't let you go until you have a bowel movement or at the very least pass gas. It takes forever because you are on a clear liquid diet for many days to give the bowel time to heal. 10 days to 2 weeks is pretty normal.

People with Crohn’s disease are usually on long-term steroids, and she doesn’t have the appearance of someone on those meds.

[quote] You can be very thin and healthy. She’s been at the same weight for years.

Are you really this stupid, R340?

She's been the same weight because she's ANOREXIC, you moron.

And the fact that this has been going on "for years," is why she's so fucking unhealthy now.

Why are some of you UP-THE-ROYAL-ASSHOLE boot lickers in such denial about this?

R264 gets it.

"She's been the same weight because she's ANOREXIC, you moron."

Fat cunts like R366 see a thin person and immediately scream 'anorexic!'.

Just cause fat cunts like R366 can't lay off the takeaways, they like to convince themselves it's everyone else has the eating disorder- especially thin people.

Go on R366, give us your BMI.

R366 I guess you haven't known anyone who actually had anorexia nervosa. She doesn't look like someone that has it at all. One of the hallmark signs is amenorrhea and accompanied infertility. Do you think her 3 children were born by surrogate? To be heirs to the throne, the children have to be "of the body". Her face simply doesn't look like someone with slims disease either.

Who will be William's second wife?

My guess is that Rose is up next!

Sounds like a hysterectomy or the suchlike. The long recuperation times are not atypical and probably more to be on the safe side. Easter is early this year, at the end of March, only 6 weeks away, so a couple of months rest after leaving hospital is normal.

[quote]You must've missed her not-so-nice reaction to discovering that William enjoys pegging.

[quote]And you must've missed that rumor broke after Meghan appeared on the scene.

If someone looks like he is getting pegged regularly by his wife it is certainly Harry, not Willi.

Eh, Easter is ten weeks away…longer than any likely hysterectomy recovery period.

As noted the timing lines up with bowel surgery.

TRUTH: Kate Hospitalized in Shock, Rose Hanbury appeared ! It's about to happen.

Poor bitch.

Sorry, r373, I miscalculated. Nonetheless, 10 weeks away is still within a regular 2-3 month recuperation period. I think they're being conservative with dates to be on the safe side. She could be ready to leave hospital in a week and she might feel completely back to normal within 8 weeks, but it's always best to err on the side of caution.

Not sure why you think bowel surgery is more onerous than a hysterectomy!

There is no Princess Kate, you American idiots. No Princess Catherine. No Duchess Kate. No Duchess Catherine. No Kate Middleton.

I know that it’s a little complicated for some of you mouth breathers but you could at least try to get the titles right.

R377 = lunatic TRANNY "Lady" Colin Campbell, inserting "her" DICK into the conversation

Instead of always attacking Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, I wish that Klan Granny Tranny Colin Campbell would tell us where HE bought his two "sons" from.

What a suspicious situation.

Because we all know, there's no way this tranny fraud could ever pop kids out of his anus.

R377 uhhh Queen Kate?

We're doing our best to accommodate, R377. She's only ~40 and had eight or nine different public names. Add in the thirty-seven nicknames from your dirt bag press and, well. It's confusing.

FFS, R379, can you leave the Markle women out of this? She's been gone now twice as long as she was in the UK. Why do you lot pathologically hate Kate? You make it a competition where there never was one. Aren't there plenty of people to hate in the US now that Markle has failed there, too?

Bathe the NHS tells us so…and UCSF…and on and on R376

*because

Because it is, Blanche, it is. My wife had a full incision hysterectomy and was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours and functionally recovered, except for lifting, in two weeks. Once your uterus is gone, it’s just gone and you don’t miss it. With a resection your intestines have to wake up and then you have to shit through the incision site and newly created stoma. Not sure if you are aware of this, but fecal matter and wounds aren’t a great combination so there’s a significant and probably unavoidable risk of sepsis following the surgery. It also means the area stays inflamed for longer since you can’t let it properly rest.

I have no idea what the future queen has or doesn’t have, but moon face hasn’t been an indication of Crohn’s in a couple decades. Most patients get treated with biologics and there is a special corticosteroid now that targets the intestines and leaves the rest of your body alone.

[quote] Not sure if you are aware of this, but fecal matter and wounds aren’t a great combination

I love you, EL.

Apparently hair loss is associated with IBD. Which makes cancer seem more remote, especially given the explicit denials.

She debuted the wig / really obvious hair extensions in September. So if it was cancer it would mean that she was having a somewhat rushed, if planned, surgery around six months after initiating the treatment causing hair loss. That would probably be bad.

Whatever it is, it’s obviously no walk in the park.

Right back atcha Sylvia

Ectopic pregnancy

[quote]Not sure why you think bowel surgery is more onerous than a hysterectomy!

Many of us are familiar with both of those things and their recoveries. I've had several bowel surgeries. My large intestine's gone. Calling it onerous would be an understatement.

I don't know what's wrong with Kate. But if it involved an ectopic pregnancy or hysterectomy, a two-week hospitalization afterward and months of recovery would mean she experienced complications beyond anything typically encountered in those scenarios.

Haven't we learned ANYTHING from The Jamie Foxx "He's playing [bold]PICKLEBALL!"[/bold]/"No, he's on his [bold]DEATHBED!"[/bold]/"He's a PUBLIC FIGURE, so the family OWES us the TRUTH!!!" foolishness?

Have we left no decency, at long last?

lol, r381

And I react here as an American who knows damn good and well how ignorant we are about the UK's co-existing, inter-related government operations and monarchy.

But I couldn't help chuckling at r381's post. There is a point to it.

I meant for it to be humorous, R392.

Agree with you, that Americans are generally not up on these things.

This stinking turd:

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery Some people will do anything for attention.

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery [quote] They're lying. She has an eating disorder and is most likely in the hospital for exhaustion and issues related to that.

100%. Everyone knows she's anorexic.

Either that, or what R201 said.

Between the constant rumors of William cheating with Rose Hanbury, and the revelation that it was Kate Middleton who uttered the racist comments, in addition to the eating disorder, she must be a huge mess mentally.

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery [quote] Not all Royal women are as fucked up as Diana or Meghan.

Neither of whom has been hospitalized as many times and for as long as Kate Middleton.

I think you're confused about who really is "fucked up."

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery As a close, concerned relative, I called in a "Welfare Check" for dear Katie and suggested they put a 5150 hold on her.

One can never be too cautious.

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery Can you imagine how horrible she looks under that dress at R241?

And they say the camera ADDS pounds. Which means, she's nothing but skin and bones under her clothing.

Kateorexia Nervosa, indeed!

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery R265 wins the thread!

OUCH! But so true.

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery So, THIS is a big reason why a "slimmed down" monarchy doesn't work.

King Charles is incapacitated.

Kate Middleton won't be able to do anything until April (maybe).

William won't be able to do anything while Kate Middleton is incapacitated.

Who remains to take care of Royal Family duties?

Only Anne, Edward, and Sophie.

By icing out all the other members of the BRF, Charles has really backed himself into a corner.

Sorry!

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery [quote] You can be very thin and healthy. She’s been at the same weight for years.

Are you really this stupid, R340?

She's been the same weight because she's ANOREXIC, you moron.

And the fact that this has been going on "for years," is why she's so fucking unhealthy now.

Why are some of you UP-THE-ROYAL-ASSHOLE boot lickers in such denial about this?

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery Who will be William's second wife?

My guess is that Rose is up next!

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery TRUTH: Kate Hospitalized in Shock, Rose Hanbury appeared ! It's about to happen.

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery Poor bitch.

Breaking: Princess Kate has surgery R377 = lunatic TRANNY "Lady" Colin Campbell, inserting "her" DICK into the conversation

This is the UK NHS info on hysterectomy surgery:

[quote]A hysterectomy is a major operation. You can be in hospital for up to 5 days after surgery, and it can take about 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover.

[quote]Recovery times can also vary depending on the type of hysterectomy.

[quote]Rest as much as possible during this time and do not lift anything heavy, such as bags of shopping. You need time for your abdominal muscles and tissues to heal.

People in the US shouldn't try to compare their health care system with those of other countries. It sounds like in the US they try to chuck you out of hospital as quickly as possible. In the UK and most developed countries there's also universal paid sick leave, which may not always be much depending on your employer but it's something, and you can also use your annual vacation days (usually 28 days fully paid a year). Taking 3 months out for a hysterectomy is not unusual in the UK.

I think with Kate they're adding some extra time in the public announcement to err on the side of caution. I don't know for sure if she's having a hysterectomy but it fits with the general time for such operations and post-op recuperation in the UK. American posters need to be aware that things aren't necessarily done in other countries the way they are done in the US.

I also wonder if she’ll be discharged sooner than announced so as to make it seem less serious - “She did so well so we’re releasing her in 7 days instead of 10.”

[quote]She had severe morning sickness while pregnant which is generally a favorable indicator if a successful pregnancy.

R355, let's put Kate aside for a moment. With people in general, whether it be cancer, addiction, neurological or psychological disorders, etc., there is no right or wrong way to look or behave. Not all heroin addicts are skinny, people with eating disorders can appear to be healthy, some cancer patients don't look sick, etc. Nothing is one size fits all and the stereotypes we have in our minds are just that. I say this to say, that if someone you care about is ever diagnosed with an illness or someone suggests something may be wrong, please don't make excuses as to why it can't be XYZ because it can mean the difference between life and death.

[quote]The risk of hyperemesis, or severe nausea and vomiting throughout pregnancy, was more than doubled in anorexic women. This can cause electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, and further weight loss.

I remember after delivering Charlotte, she left the hospital the same day. So I’m not buying the “they keep people hospitalized for longer in the UK” story. Nobody stays 2 weeks for a hysterectomy.

She either had a major cancer operation, or she didn’t have surgery but is in rehab for an eating disorder.

[QUOTE]Not sure if you are aware of this, but fecal matter and wounds aren’t a great combination

Has anyone informed the man with recent mysterious wounds on his right hand?

R307. The idea that she is anorexic is so bizarre. She is constantly in the public eye. She does not look unnaturally thin at all. She has had three successful pregnancies. She has managed to remain heaithy and active despite being”anorexic” for almost a decade Next you will claim anorexics can weigh 600 pounds

Decades of increasingly widespread obesity really have warped people’s perceptions.

[quote]If someone mentions eating disorders, your brain might automatically envision a white, thin woman with thinning hair, brittle nails, and a pale complexion. Not only has this been the stereotype of what having an eating disorder looks like, but it also acts as the stereotype for anorexia nervosa (AN). Yet, AN affects people from all walks of life. It can present differently across all different bodies, and harmful stereotypes such as these can interfere with the diagnosis of AN.

[quote]Despite common misconceptions, an individual may be seriously ill with a restrictive eating disorder without an outwardly recognizable physical sign of the illness. The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate the perspectives of individuals who have previously battled a restrictive eating disorder who were considered “not sick enough” by others (e.g., peers, families, healthcare professionals) at some point during their illness, and to understand the perceived impact on the illness and recovery. Such misconceptions are potentially damaging, and have been previously linked with delayed help-seeking and poorer clinical outcomes.

[quote]The idea that she is anorexic is so bizarre. She is constantly in the public eye.

Odd reasoning given the prevalence of anorexia among singers, actors, models, dancers, etc.

I was under the impression that anorexia is normally caught and treated sooner these days. And because it’s identified and treated, even if only semi-successfully, you don’t see walking skeletons very often. I used to see women who were obviously anorexic every once in a while in the 1980’s and maybe 1990’s. But the last time I saw it was over a decade ago. I could be completely off base. That’s just my layperson’s observation.

I give Kate a lot of credit for gaining weight during pregnancy and delivering heathy, full-term babies despite the difficulty holding food down and her obvious weight concerns.

She isn’t necessarily an unhealthy weight and has some muscle, but she is also pretty obviously very weight and body conscious. It’s clear to me from the way she dresses and the shoes she wears. The jeans are always skin tight, emphasizing her (admittedly great) legs. She may be very covered up, but never, ever any excessive bulk. Almost always the very high heels - the same frame with 4 extra inches of height looks slimmer.

I don’t think an outside observer can draw the line between a very disciplined commitment to maintaining a very lean physique and disordered eating. It’s not crazy to say she has an eating disorder and it’s not crazy to say she doesn’t. But it’s a little irrational to insist that either is impossible.

[quote] My guess is that Rose is up next!

Wonderful! I’ve wanted a Queen Rose every since Titanic.

I think the point is that if it were indeed anorexia that was serious enough that she had to be in the hospital for several weeks, we'd see it more evidently on her.

Some people just have a lot of collagen and fat in their faces. Plus, bone structure (cheekbones, jaw, forehead).

When I lose weight, my face still looks pretty full.

Don't know if she's anorexic but Kate hasn't always been a string bean.

I suspect bowel disease more than an eating disorder. We’ve already done “Princess of Wales with an eating disorder.” Another would be trite.

What are the outward signs of her having an eating disorder, aside from being slim, which isn't actually a sign?

R404, she's one of the most gazed at women on the planet, of course she's going to make an effort to look good. That doesn't mean she's self-conscious. William is also pretty trim. They are simply people who eat well and move and exercise, as well as both being tall (William very tall, Kate taller than average).

I don’t think it’s anorexia. If y’all think Kate is anorexic, you haven’t seen a real person with anorexia. My guess is an emergency pregnancy termination or bowel disease.

What a coincidence that the Kate surgery and this piece of news both made Yahoo front page at around the same time.

They actually did the same thing on Univision news last night. They mentioned that study then her hospitalization.

R394 Scat Queen.

Settle down. Everything is going to plan.

I typed "what is wrong" into Google, and I got a kick out of the trending searches:

[quote] what is wrong with catherine

I particularly appreciate the sheer randomness of Simon Cowell's son being thrown in there.

What IS wrong with Tiny Tim?

All will be well when Meghan removes the pins from the doll....

Colon transplant or complete removal? Does she have severe Crohn’s?

R420 She has a severe case of Crones.

Tummy tuck, which is major surgery. After 3 kids and you get to a certain age, your flat stomach goes away no matter what you do. She’s examined by tabloids every single day. She wants to look good. And why not? She’s got the money and her looks are essential to her position.

You know what my mother told me years ago? Actors and actresses got to take cosmetic surgery as a deduction on their taxes because it was job-related. Obviously that ended, but for a long time they could deduct a facelift or blepharoplasty because their looks impacted whether or not they could get a job.

R422, even the most complex tummy tucks only require a 1-2 day hospital stay. Unless something goes seriously wrong.

Waity Katy.

R424 Sure Willy's "visits" will extend her hospitalization another 10 weeks.

It’s colon cancer. She probably needed to have chemo first to shrink the tumor prior to surgery, which is why she was wearing that wig. Now she’s undergone the planned colon resection.

So, somehow she's such a bag of bones she needs to be hospitalized for an eating disorder, but so fat she needs a tummy tuck?

If only Diana were alive, to make a big show of visiting with a huge bouquet of flowers and a bunch of balloons, then cry about being photographed.

[quote] She has a severe case of Crones.

Lol I see what you did there, R421.

BRAVA!

If Diana were alive Mr Potato Head would not have dared marry the bulimic bankrupt part planners daughter.

R427, et al, I know she looks like she wears some extensions, but where has she worn a wig? Btw, hair extensions would not help at all with hair loss from cancer treatment. Extensions need to be attached to hair, so all extensions do is make what you have look thicker.

R426 At the instruction of Rose Hanbury.

A couple of months ago I noticed her face looked a bit heavier than usual.

I posted here that she either gained 3 to 5 lbs and/or is pregnant again.

In any event, time for the Prince of Wales to get that vasectomy.

Are the Rose Hanbury rumours true? I thought the originator had said they weren't.

R434 Butt babies don't live dear.

R435 The author backtracked after they threatened legal action because he didn’t have concrete evidence. But where there’s smoke…

It bears saying yet again: if you are going to have a tummy tuck, you would first need to have a tummy that needed tucking.

This is absolutely not why Kate is in the hospital.

[quote] But where there’s smoke…

You mean like the rumor in the late 1950s that Maria Callas became so much thinner by swallowing a tapeworm?

A tummy tuck is an outpatient or one-night procedure.

No way—NO WAY—this was a tummy tuck. You think Kate hasn’t had some plastic surgery tweaks until now? She has and they kept it quiet. This was something I believe they were unprepared for. Maybe not an emergency (or may it was and they lied), but something that had to be done expediently. They had planned engagements, both of them. I think they would have been more careful with their scheduling if this had been “planned.”

I really am a nosy bitch, I want to know what happened.

We will almost certainly find out what's happening sooner rather than later; there's no way they can keep something like this quiet when everyone on the tabloids is after the story.

Maybe to be skinny, she abused laxatives and it fucked up her system?

"Maybe to be skinny, she abused laxatives and it fucked up her system?"

Another way of staying 'skinny', is not eating processed crap by the shipload like the average American.

They have a chef. It's not like she's up frying bangers and mash for a snack...

So William’s first visit to her in the hospital was today (if I’m reading this correctly)? Seems odd.

William's first reported visit. Following announcement of the completed surgery yesterday.

Try not to make it more than it is, Mrs. Kravitz.

Maybe her family was spending time with her. Maybe she had been expected to be released quickly. I don't know BRF protocol, but maybe her number of visitors is limited?

I'd like to see said pic of her in an alleged wig.

[quote]Odd reasoning given the prevalence of anorexia among singers, actors, models, dancers, etc.

Give us six examples from among this prevalence in singers, actors, models, dancers, etc.

[quote]Give us six examples from among this prevalence in singers, actors, models, dancers, etc.

You can start with this partial list of notable people who've publicly discussed theirs. The vast majority do not 'come out' in the press, since it invites unwanted scrutiny and can have lasting personal and professional implications. Anyone who isn't a belligerent anorexic teenager themself is already aware of that, though.

[quote]I'd like to see said pic of her in an alleged wig.

Especially if it's the wig from "The New Jan Brady" episode of "The Brady Bunch."

Wig…

She must still have been quite sedated to knocked out on pain killers the day after surgery with lots of personnel milling about her. William and security might have gotten in the way. I also suspect she'd probably want her mother at first.

[quote]Anyone who isn't a belligerent anorexic teenager themself is already aware of that, though.

Huff, huff.

I don't know, r453. Looks like pretty realistic hair to me, and I think it's her own hair. But I don't pay much too much attention to her or her hair. For that reason, maybe you know better than I do.

It’s possible she has uterine tumors. They’re not cancerous but my understanding from women is that they’re excruciatingly painful.

There’s also endometriosis, another very painful abdominal issue (again, so I’m told).

I like her and I hope she’s up and around again soon.

Pippa must be anorexic too. And her husband. My God, the whole family's caught it...

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I believe she’s wearing a wig here.

Are Kaiser and her army giddy about Catherine's hospitalization?

I tell you, is kidneys. They very bad little things. And they must be put beck in place as they are always trying to escape,

[quote] Pippa must be anorexic too. And her husband. My God, the whole family's caught it...

I'm not anorexic!

Former wiglet wearer here...yes, that really does look like a wig. It hasn't been trimmed or fitted correctly to her head. So that would suggest hair loss. But I think chemo hair loss, it it were that, would cause here eyebrows and eyelashes to fall out.

You’d think she’d do a cold cap to keep her hair if it were cancer given how in the public eye she is.

I would imagine she'd get a better wig if she had long-term alopecia from stress, eating disorders, etc. But then, I would have thought the future Queen would have access to better wigs, period.

You'd have thought Tom Cruise would have access to better wigs too, but apparently he doesn't.

Maybe she stopped coloring her hair while trying to get pregnant again and has been wearing wigs to cover the gray.

R468 that has to be his real hair. It's too hideous.

Honey, come here, i've just found something on the internet that nobody else did!

So you really imagine Kate Middleton, of all people, would go out in public with a bad wig?

Do any of you think before you post these things or are you trolling? Because total respect if you're faking that dumb.

Why would she even be trying to get pregnant for a FOURTH time at age 42?

Okay, here's the truth.

Kate had bariatric gastric bypass surgery to help her lose weight.

She told her doctors she was getting too fat.

[quote]Are Kaiser and her army giddy about Catherine's hospitalization?

And they call us haters. Add soulless to brainless. (Though in fairness their speculation is no less hyperbolic and uninformed than here.)

Unfortunately, I think it's the butt cancer.

I don't know if it's been posted, but CDAN had a blind that suggested it is a miscarriage. I know CDAN is often bullshit-- but sometimes it's not. I think a miscarriage is most likely.

[quote] 229. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 01/17 **7**

[quote] Apparently, there was a problem with a risky pregnancy which is why the emergency surgery was needed, not planned. The ginger haired one reached out to someone about going over because of all the health emergencies, but you know who said nope to that. You know who also tried to buy a house but had to settle for renting a place in Los Angeles, because she didn't qualify for the loan. Kate Middleton/Prince Harry/King Charles/Meghan Markle (Why Were King Charles and Kate Middleton's Medical Conditions Announced on the Same Day?) (Ailing Charles and Kate’s first thought was for others — wailing Meghan and Harry’s only thought is for themselves)

Oh, how I miss the days when she was still sloppy Chav trash.

Then again, you can take the girl out of the gutter, but you can't take the gutter out of the girl.

And, Lord, please let Kate get well. Like, I mean it. Sair-yus. Because I can't trash her in my book if she's dead.

A friend of mine had a hysterectomy some years back,(routine) and the doctors didn't realize that they had nicked her bowels in the surgery. They sent her home after one day and for three days she was at home getting increasingly sick. Finally it was a full-fledged crisis when she went back to the hospital. Of course it had gone septic. (Peritonitis) They ended up having to resection her colon and she was in intensive care for nearly a week and then in regular hospital for another day, and it was touch and go whether or not she would survive initially. So it might have been something like that.

And yet she did Blanche R470, she did go out in public in a bad wig.

Just in your head, dear.

A miscarriage = a D&C. It’s day surgery. Hell, it’s less than an abortion which is an outpatient procedure. They never would’ve announced that. It could be done in the palace.

I don’t think it’s a wig because in some of the pictures of her bike outing she is wearing a helmet without a care and you can see the wind blowing her hair around and it does not look unnatural to me. The bangs could be to hide wrinkles or surgical scars while they heal.

Whatever is wrong with her is critical and not planned.

It's most visible in the second picture at R460's link. You can see about half an inch of her real hair below where the wig starts.

The wig's been placed too far back on her hairline. It should be placed right at the front of the hairline and then trimmed and thinned, otherwise you get the "headband" look that Kate's sporting.

[quote] I would have thought the future Queen would have access to better wigs, period.

You also would have thought the future Queen would have someone to gently tell her to stop with the heavy black raccoon eyeliner, wouldn't you? And you'd probably also think that the current Queen would get a better hair style and have access to all the best stylists.

What you don't grasp is that most of them have crap taste and DGAF.

Yes, yes. Bad hair day, no. Wig, absolutely. 5G = COVID.

Gee, you think maybe the helmet caused the wig look, detectives?

Hat's off to Kate's wig!

I’m still going with kidney transplant.

It's a damn wig!

I particularly admire the Celebitchy, host to all the "janky wig" photos, neglects to include any helmet head.

The company you keep....

Obviously a serious surgery, I’m guessing something embarrassing, thus the lack of details.

No, R486

What do the pictures of her cycling have to do with anything?

They're pictures from the same event where imbeciles are claiming she wore a wig, r493. Helmets are no friend to hairstyles. God, the stupid is so thick here we might as well be Celebitchy.

Yes, R492, you're an idiot.

This footage has just been rediscovered. Apparently a VIP was transported to King Edward VII (the royal's preferred hospital) on December 28.

R451, most of the people on that list are a big mess and often in public in a way that Catherine has never been, so all your list proves is just how unlikely it is that she has an eating disorder considering she behaves nothing like them.

Appealing to logic, are you going to wear a wig to an outdoor, autumn event in Scotland where you're going to ride a bike in front of a crowd of people and the media?

R497 You mean to tell me she’s been in the hospital since December 28th?

Nice job of completely moving the goalposts, r498.

She had nice hair as a very young woman, but started supplementing it young, which is why it’s not even more obvious. Maybe she just wanted thicker, longer hair, maybe she’s been dealing with IBD-related hair loss (possibly intermittent?) since young adulthood.

But even after two decades of extensions / wiglets / whatever, that yak hide she started stepping out in at R494 was a shocker.

I can’t believe there are people who think that’s her hair.

Sure Jan

Willy slapped her around again. Probably broke something. He's an angry violent bloke.

Go back to your cyber projects, skanky.

Her mom is thin. Her dad has thick hair. She was always thin. Those low ride jeans made her look chunky on her no hips frame. She's not anorexic.

People think she lost a significant amount of weight since college but she was always thin. The boots and sitting down meet her look bigger.

Here she is standing and she's still quite thin.

[quote] Willy slapped her around again. Probably broke something. He's an angry violent bloke.

We know you'd like us to think that, Harry.

r476 She looks like Brtiney Spears in that picture.

She was more well-covered and fuller in the face during her 20s. It suited her.

She might be having an urgent, but scheduled surgery secondary to a problem that caused a hospitalization in December if the R497 story is related. Speaking from experience, a person can be sent home to stabilize for a few weeks.

I don't suppose there's much chance it was anybody else, being driven [italic]in[/italic] the vicinity of the hospital but not [italic]to[/italic] it?

In any event I can definitely imagine that having got her from Sandringham, where she'd been looking perfectly well three days before, but suddenly so acutely requiring care that they took her all the way to London rather than a nearby hospital, without anybody noticing, then the natural next thing to do would be load her into a convoy with lights flashing. I think we should obviously work forward on the basis it could not be anybody but her and that the situation, however grave in the moment, stabilized happily to allow for major surgery almost a month later.

There's no other reasonable explanation.

Her traps in r476 are massive. She clearly works out like a beast. It shows in her arms too. Whatever it was, it's not related to any eating disorder, you dim numpties.

[quote] she's one of the most gazed at women on the planet

She is, r514.

Sure, you could point out that, say, Taylor Swift is more gazed at, whether one likes that or not, or, that any number of A List film actors are gazed at world-wide while their faces are on movie screens in every country on Earth, but, Catherine, Princess of Wales is also as gazed at as they are.

Well, at least we've found how to help you subdue your purple-and-lavender poofery, if only for a moment, R519/R525.

See how effective cliches can be when they're kept succinct?

Have the Montecito Mountbatten-Windsors issued a statement yet?

Has Mrs. Harry Mountbatten-Windsor appeared yet in public walking down the middle of Montecito's High Street wearing a piece of jewelry given to her by one of her husband's relations to deflect attention from the surgery and hospital stay of her sister-in-law?

Has Harry given an interview yet to whine about the time when as children he and his older brother fell while playing? His brother had a large gash which required stitches. He had only minor scrapes and was told to keep a stiff upper lip. He's never forgotten that incident, and it was just one more example where he, as the spare, received scant attention for his boo-boos!!!

[quote] See how effective cliches can be when they're kept succinct?

Yes, r527.

"In her dreams", yours at r514, is Exhibit A

See how effectively you've avoided offering any credible challenge to the fact that Kate is one of the most gazed at woman of Earth?

I'm not asking anybody to like that she is, but, she is Blanche! She is!

Why did you bother posting, r502, when neither looks like the Princess of Wales or even a look alike?

Kate is one of the most glazed women on Earth.

What are you twelve? Better yet ten R525 ?

Enough with the idiotic oneupsmanships & would-be "witty ripostes."

NO ONE CARES. NEITHER OF YOU WINS.

R534 The one who doesn't resort to caps wins.

And yet, R515, here you are, number 515 on a thread about a vile family about whom you say nobody cares.

How curious!

Clitoridectomy

[quote] Harry, Andrew, and Princess Beatrice Will Not Stand in for for King Charles

Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and Prince Andrew’s daughter, Princess Beatrice, will not act as substitutes for King Charles, the Times of London reports. All three remain so-called counselors of state—meaning members of the royals who can stand in for Charles if the latter is ill or abroad—but the Times reports that the government bill defining the role includes a provision that only “working members of the royal family will be called on to act as counsellors of state.”

That effectively rules out Harry, Andrew, and Beatrice from ever performing the roles, as none are working members of the family. In the Counsellors of State Act 2022, Charles added both his sister and brother, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, to the list of family members who can act for him.

The Times says Anne and Edward will be counsellors for the rest of their lives, while Harry, Andrew and Beatrice will gradually be replaced when Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—come of age.

I wonder if her husband passed along an STD through anal sex.

I am wondering if she is/was indeed pregnant and needed some kind of emergency procedure as well as treatment for her severe morning sickness. The "out of sight until Easter" bit is making me wonder if this time they do not want to announce a pregnancy too early as they have been forced to do in the past, especially in light of whatever issue she is having. Waiting until Easter gives her privacy for the first trimester.

Having said all that, I also think that a baby at 42 when you already have 3 very healthy and thriving children is nuts, but the above is my current theory.

Accidental pregnancies still do occur, despite best laid plans. Beyond surgery, no birth control is 100% effective.

Besides, William has royal sperm.

There's got to be more blind items. I feel like deep inside Twitter or perhaps more blacksheep websites and sources (not tabloids) may have gotten it right. The whole thing doesn't rub me right.

I feel it's possibly cancer. It just seems like there's something more serious than a D&C or anything regarding the gastrointestinal system. I think the bet is better made on the reproductive system.

I'm on the fence: very much could be bowel issues that have exacerbated over the years or it could be reproductive issues and/or cancerous related.

Whatever it is, i'm on board with it being somewhat serious to warrant her a 2 week stay (at this juncture). It could be more than what we're thinking.

I don't live in the UK, nor have i ever followed the Royals but i hope it's something far worse than what we've been supposing. I wish her no ill will.

Not only is Kate one of the most gazed at people on the planet, unlike pop stars, actresses and other celebrities, she also meets ordinary members of the public up close all the time, is regularly at events where thousands of members of the public can see her and talk to her and take photos and videos of her, as well as TV cameras and news photographers, and also regularly meets politcians, bishops, foreign dignitaries, public officials, etc. So I think if she had an eating disorder it would have been observable to some of those people at least. It's doubtful she would even be able to make all these public appearances and be attentive to everyone, friendly, open, listening, responding, always being on top form.

I think I stayed in the hospital for about two weeks after I had my colectomy. Part of it was making sure that I wasn't going to have another crisis, but I also had to get my stoma functioning and used to dealing with it. And because I'd been so sick leading up to the surgery, I was so weak they considered putting me in a rehab before sending me home, but I pushed myself hard enough with physical therapy that I went home with a visiting nurse.

If she does have some kind of bowel condition, the timeline fits.

Oh, rilly?

R542’s theory makes sense. A failed pregnancy would be unlikely to require such a long hospital stay and recovery period. But maybe they did surgery on the fetus and now they are trying to get some nutrients into her and then she’s going to be on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy.

That would mean the wig is just a coincidence, but that’s possible. She doesn’t look at all pregnant in the photos from Christmas, though.

All things considered, it seems like some type of cancer, probably bowel, or IBD are most likely. But all three - pregnancy, cancer, and IBD-related surgery that involves poop issues and maybe a permanent or temporary stoma - would explain why they aren’t just saying exactly what is wrong.

My guess is IBD based on

(1) The explicit denial of cancer (although I’m not giving that much weight).

(2) In photos of her as a very young adult it seems like her hairline moves up and down a little bit. There are 2-3 photos that seem to show a hairline that looks like a post-partum telogen effluvium hairline. Then she either started wearing extensions regularly or maybe the IBD was diagnosed and became better controlled. It’s subtle, she always has a full head of hair and maybe it’s just the hairstyles, but sometimes her hairline looks a little higher.

(3) Her slimness. She is probably disciplined about her diet and controlling a bowel problem might be one reason why.

I think treatment for an eating disorder or substance abuse are very, very remote possibilities. The history of bandaids on her fingers is a little weird, though. And bulimia and substance abuse can be comorbidities. But it can’t be anorexia alone. If she’s underweight at all it’s not by an amount that would justify months of inpatient treatment. She’s definitely eating.

R530, you are a dummy.

Well, best wishes for a speedy recovery for Kate! After all this speculation, I confess I'll be disappointed if she just had her gallbladder out. Whatever the case, I can help but thinking about that scene in The Madness of King George when all his advisors are looking at his pot of poo, trying to figure out what's a matter with him.

Sorry, R532, I wrote the post at night. Sherry is an aperitif best enjoyed before luncheon. At night, I was well into the scotch.

Try to keep up, old boy!

They could not tell an outright lie about cancer (or anything, for that matter.) To fudge or obfuscate is bad enough, but for Buckingham Palace to go on record flat out lying, for any reason, the damage would be massive. It just didn't happen, but I accept some people like to believe it did. Perhaps the lie was wearing a wig.

What's interesting to me this morning is there is nothing. Not even in the Mail. All the papers are silent, not even rehash stories. You'd think the Mail would be running a No Change Reported as Brave Kate Remains in Hospital or some such made up bullshit. But zip when I breezed through the UK papers this morning.

Which means the palace has stuck its oar in...

No one officially denied it was cancer. That was media outlets quoting confidential sources who said it wasn’t.

If the surgery was on Tuesday, not last month, and tissue was removed during the operation then to be biopsied they’d have just gotten the pathology report last night. It takes a while to get one back so to have said it’s not cancer the same day as the procedure means either it’s not cancer or the doctors don’t think it is but want a pathologist to confirm that.

To be serious about the British royal family for a moment. I respect Catherine's privacy. Let her decide to reveal the details of this surgery to the public, if and when she wishes to. She has small children, the oldest of whom would be more aware of the seriousness of an illness. Maybe she and her husband want to shield their children from unwanted worry

If cancer was explicitly denied, it’s not cancer. However, some of you are fucking delusional. Think of anyone you know who spent weeks in the hospital and months recovering. Are they still alive and living a perfectly fine life? I seriously doubt it.

One would lose the right to be considered a human if they took joy in Kate’s situation, but trying to romanticize her ordeal by claiming it’s the result of a miscarriage is pathetic.

Again, it wasn’t explicitly denied. It was reported in some media outlets, who quoted “sources.” It could have been that the sources knew, or it could be that they surmised it. No one knows.

How pissed will we be if it turns out to be a tonsillectomy.

Is she a boozer? Might have needed a liver transplant.

I totally understand Kate wanting to keep her medical details private and protect her children as much as she can, still the lack of leaks to the media is curious.

From The Telegraph: "Kensington Palace has confirmed that the Princess of Wales’ planned abdominal surgery was not dealing with a “cancerous” issue."

Can you now bear to part with I suspect it's cancer no matter what? I know it causes excitement and erections in some of you but it's just disproven, even in 2024. "I suspect" is not proof to the contrary. Let it go.

Workaround prevents Harry, Andrew and Baytriss from actually acting as Counsellors of State.

It's a bad week for Montecito. With everybody sick and their own reputations, they can't really fire back about the Queen's reported fury over the Lilibet naming and now Harry's scrapped one of his lawsuits against the Mail... which is apparently gonna cost him 750,000 pounds.

R549, Diana is another great example of someone with an eating disorder who had public mental breakdowns. Moreover, after her divorce in 1992, and probably even before, she no longer appeared in public in the same way as Kate does now.

The Duke of Sussex has abandoned his legal case against a newspaper after a ruling that the publisher could argue Harry was responsible for a “masterclass in the art of spinning” designed to mislead the public.

Harry sued The Mail on Sunday for libel over an article relating to his demands for taxpayer-funded security when he visits Britain, which he claimed was “an attack on his honesty and integrity”.

He now has to pay his own £500,000 legal costs and the newspaper’s £250,000 legal bill, as well as suffer acute embarrassment after discontinuing the claim on Friday morning.

And Diana tried to tell Kate to be careful but she wouldn't listen. So this is really Kate's own fault. And that wig.

R565 Whut? I could post literally dozens and dozens of "Diana Visits..." videos from 1992-1997. I'd wager she probably did more work as a divorced royal than Kate does now.

We can judge how "well" she's doing and how serious things are by when and how often her kids visit the hospital.

Following up on R553’s comment, is there any chance publications like the Daily Mail are actually cooperating with the BRF and have known about this for a while? Because I thought it was weird in September that they didn’t call her on the bad wig. I’m not suggesting this is the case, I have no idea. Just asking if it’s in the realm of possibility. I suggested she might be ill on a thread back then and got no traction. But if I thought of it, others must have as well.

Agree with R558. It’s serious and it’s unlikely that she will bounce back and have no related issues going forward.

This is going to silence the lazy Kate critics, so there’s that. At least she’ll be able to take time off and have a light schedule if she needs it going forward.

First, R570, the wig would have to exist. You're just falling for wishful thinking on the internet.

Second, media aren't really in the business of not reporting what they deem in their very generous definition of the public interest.

In this context, if it was a wig, and they could prove it was a wig, with all the expert internet detectiving about it being a wig, you think they wouldn't write about it?

R557 THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

The default augment for every scumbag who's ever scummed a bag.

How can she have bowel issues? It is common knowledge ROYALTY does not defecate.

R571, no one knows for sure because she won’t tell anyone. But If you look at the post at r470, she is most definitely wearing a wig. And certain media did talk about it, just like they talk about her hair extensions. (And if you think she doesn’t have extensions, I have a bridge to sell you.) I mean, look at the hairline, that’s a wig.

No problem there though, celebrities very often wear wigs when they just don’t have time to really do up their hair, it doesn’t mean that her hair was falling out.

^Sorry, at my post above, I meant to reference r460.

[quote] So you really imagine Kate Middleton, of all people, would go out in public with a bad wig?

Beloved movie stars like John Travolta and Tom Cruise go out in bad wigs, and they're richer than she is. What's the difference?

And in the period 1992-1997 Diana had a huge mental health breakdown in public, r569, so she's really not a good comparison to try to prove that Kate has an eating disorder.

As for her visits, in that period she was not a working royal so any visits she made then were her own personal initiative (and they were not as many as you think). She wasn't meeting foreign dignitaries on behalf of the state, she wasn't going on royal walkabouts and meeting the public, she wasn't hosting carols at Westminster Cathedral or opening hospital units.

Moreover, in 1993, Diana even gave a speech stating that she would be withdrawing from public life, so aside from a few events here and there I think you'll find that most of "Diana visits" were before 1992-3.

When Kate makes a public appearance like Diana did in her Martin Bashir interview or when she appears as in the linked video, then you can try to use Diana to argue that Kate has an eating disorder.

Perhaps kidney issues? Royalty does urinate however.

R574, I care about her hair to the extent I have to put up with you conspiracy hairstylists banging on about something as I wade through your shit on here. It begins and ends there. No, she was not wearing a wig. Her hairstyle was flattened that day by the bike helmet. It's obvious. As obvious, no one asserts she did it again.

Answer me this: if she wore the wig, why? Why would she wear a wig that looked like her own hair? If she needed to wear the wig due to a medical condition, why hasn't it been spotted since? It just doesn't add up, except for some weird wishful thinking by weird internet people.

Find this "certain media" and link. (Celebitchy doesn't count.) You said, it back it up.

R577, she wept - a little - in public. That's a huge public breakdown by your definition?

Wig makes sense if she was pregnant and didnt want to use hair color on her grays.

One time?

R562 Why? Well know the palace spoon feds rota. Royal spin doctors hard at work maintaining their 200 yr old tradition of lying their arses off. Only dolts believe rota "leaks".

She uses extensions just like Beyonce and every other famous woman who depends on her appearance. The "luxurious" thick tresses are more noticeable when you've lost too much weight from illness. So, IMo not technically a wig, but closer. It's a weave. IMO Kate has a serious chronic GI tract problem. I say this because while she has always been slender, you can see that she has sometimes looked much thinner than usual. Not suggesting she has an eating disorder at all. I think she has something else that has finally become unmanageable. It is possible they had to remove part of her colon or something like that. It is serious.

We've either a Celebitchy or a - what's the name of that other hole? Anyway, they're stupiding up the thread. Hopefully the cheques come soon and they'll occupy themselves with scratch cards and nail extensions.

They may not defecate, but they certainly do digest.

R579, if you can’t see that she’s wearing a wig, I can’t help you. That is a fucking wig. And I’m the one who said it doesn’t mean anything, celebrities wear bad and good wigs all the time.. Geez, what’s wrong with you? My point is that it is indicative of nothing.

Oh, and here she is wearing a wig again.. Is People magazine media enough for you? Ok enough with the wigs.

[quote]My point is that it is indicative of nothing.

You've ably proved that, if nothing else.

Took long enough. R588. Some people are thick. Part 2 is up.

And some people, R589, are twice as amusing when they miss sarcasm.

"To be serious about the British royal family"

^ Oxymoron

Royalty does have penises! Who knew?

^ Me!

Who hasn’t seen William’s penis?

Could they be installing a heart?

Oh, I got the sarcasm, r590. My comment still stands.

Well, yes, R586, stubbornness is a sign of low intelligence. You're going on block. Bye bye now.

Hmmm some pretty touchy people in this thread. Must be the lovely weather we’re having in the Northeast.

Some of us have a really low tolerance for stupid people like you. I get your type... started the thread, gotta start the next thread early so you did it, because that makes you feel important. Can't discern between gossip and guesswork and swivel-eyed loon speculation. You're not unusual. You're pretty common, truth be told. Don't wig out. We all have burdens.

R599, wow. You spend way too much time on DL overthinking things. I say this with all sincerity—cut down on the coffee. And with that, thread closed.

See you at part 2!
