Will the Real Kate Middleton Please Stand Up? Behind the Royal Disappearance

Has there been a royal disappearance? Where is Kate Middleton? Things are only getting stranger with the royal family as everyone wonders what’s happening with them—especially with Kate Middleton, who was missing from the public eye for a period of time. An official family portrait was released to the public to quell the rumors, but it was quickly removed by the Associated Press after the photo was confirmed to be highly edited using A.I. and Photoshop. This only added more fuel to the conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton’s whereabouts. What do we know for sure, though?

A few months before eyebrows started being raised, Kate reportedly underwent abdominal surgery; then she wasn’t seen again publicly. A couple of blurry photos were published by TMZ, but some weren’t convinced that this was actually Kate. A low quality follow-up video was published online afterwards, which only brought up more questions than answers for internet sleuths. Social media users claimed to have found some strange and unusual things about the video, like the edited photo. Is there really some wild conspiracy about her whereabouts? Rumors are flying: everything from Kate’s secret death to going into hiding, from clandestine affairs to scandals and murder.

The royal family told the world to prepare for an announcement, so everyone was waiting for Kate Middleton to either appear in a video addressing the world or release a live, shocking announcement. Instead, a brief video of Kate and Prince William walking around was released. To add even more mystery to an already weird situation, King Charles was also missing from the public eye for a time. A photo of King Charles was published, but was it really him? Is the photo recent? Is something secret and mysterious going on, or is everyone just overreacting to royal people just trying to have some privacy?
