I’m not even a conspiracy theorist but this looks off.

It’s fine to just let her rest and recover.

ETA - Louis is crossing his fingers. Kate’s not wearing her ring? Truman Show vibes - this is amazing.

I think the Royals don’t always wear wedding/engagement rings anyway?

Nvm just googled. Royal men typically don’t but the ladies usually do apparently.

[sarahvma]

It’s particularly weird because you’d think they would want as many “all is well” signifiers as possible.

[syvlie0o0]

Nah, Kate is ALWAYS wearing that giant blue rock.

[smashmortion]

there are several family portraits where she isn't wearing her wedding ring

[recognitions]

These all look fake as hell

At this point I'm not even sure this family is real

Kate tended to always wear the band if not the sapphire.

I dislike how and why I noticed it, but her thighs look way too gaunt. Usually when a person without, let's say malnourishment and/or muscle atrophy, sits down, the thighs relax and kind of fill out, looking thicker, rounder. Hers do not.

Yeah.. tbf she's always been incredibly thin and has just spent weeks in hospital. I'm just assuming she's not well enough to stand up because the sitting down looks so weird here.

[sarahvma]

Yeah I have no doubt she’s actually been sick, and that would fit with some kind of abdominal surgery or recovery.

[nutella_forever]

not the 'Truman show' reference!! 🤣

[sarahvma]

Everyone knows it’s a legal loophole!

She wears those rings scuba diving and mountain climbing and I'm not exaggerating. She's never been seen without them and no, her fingers aren't too swollen to wear them, she looks like she's lost weight.

Also how soon after abdominal surgery do you squeeze into skin-tight skinny jeans? Is that comfortable?

[screamingintune]

I wouldn't even wear jeans that tight after a decent meal let alone abdominal surgery

reminded of that Reductress headline that was like "ABSOLUTE MONSTER WEARS JEANS AT HOME TO RELAX"

[titti]

I was thinking maternity skinny jeans. It’s not like we can tell under the dark sweater and they would be a lot more comfortable than skinny jeans.

[aristobrit]

You're not the only one who thought something was wrong. Three international agencies issued a "kill" order, saying the photo had been altered at the source and not to run it. It's fake. So the British papers are covering that.

This is a giant mess for Prince William.
