Public absence of the British royal family sparks speculation in the United Kingdom Buckingham Palace’s scant information on the health of Charles III and Kate Middleton, who was seen in a photograph Monday, raises more questions than answers

Everything about the British royal family since the beginning of the year has been steeped in the mystery of an Agatha Christie novel. And Then There Were None would be the perfect title for the successive disappearances from public life of the members of the Windsor household, which have unleashed a torrent of speculation and rumor, especially on social networks. First, the Princess of Wales, Catherine (Kate) Middleton, wife of the heir to the throne, Prince William, and almost immediately afterward King Charles III withdrew from the public eye due to health problems. Later, William also announced a pause in his public duties to attend to his wife, who was seen in apparently stolen photos on Tuesday. And even Queen Consort Camilla, who became almost exclusively in charge of representing the British royal household, has just announced that she is taking a week’s break overseas.

“It’s an ever-thickening fog of uncertainty. And it gives more energy to online rumors. It’s the problem of feeding out small pieces of information, enough to prompt more questions and not enough to give answers,” said Sean Coughlan, the BBC’s royal affairs correspondent, summing up the feeling of the British press.

Charles is likely dying of prostate or testicular cancer.

Katey is likely having problems with post surgical complica
tions ( possibly infection).

William will soon be King.

Kate’s puffed face would possibly be due to steroids or cortisone.

I would agree. If Charles is still around by the end of 2025...I’ll be surprised. If they give him a stage 4 notice...I would imagine he’ll give notice and hand the crown over to William.

‘And Then There Were None’. That was not the original title . I won’t post what it was but I will say it is not something the Royal Family would like to be associated with.

Some doctor said it is normal to get X-ray of chest before prostate procedures? Said the cancer in Charles could be elsewhere than down under.

Re: "Charles is likely dying of prostate or testicular cancer."

Testicular cancer is a young man's disease.

Testicular cancer in men over age 70 is very rare.

Prostate cancer in men over 70 is also a coin toss now.

The destructive impact of surgery - impotence, loss of bladder control, fatal blood clots - is so significant that many elderly men are opting out and are taking the chance that their prostate cancer will progress very slowly, or not at all.

If Charles is that sick, I doubt if they would have told Prince Harry during one of his Quick Stop visits.
Harry would have blabbed the entire story as he waits for his plane back to America. Harry has zero regard for other people’s privacy. If Charles quickly passes away, Harry will be complaining “No one told me anything!!”

Kind of weird they are being so secretive if he isn’t dying or in really bad shape.

Hope he passes on, as William should be a much better king.

A “prostate procedure” can result in a metastatic “explosion”.

If Harry & Meagan hadn’t burned their bridges with the Royal Family and stormed off like children, *they* would be the public face of the Monarchy right now

think about that ...

Remember the euphemistic phrase “mobility issues” used to describe QE2’s health problems...

Betcha the British public does.

And I’ll bet the two word description “abdominal surgery” rings alarm bells after that.

The House of Windsor has been caught telling too many lies over the years.

There’s no trust to be had.

They can blame social media all they like, but if the public trusted the House of Windsor then limiting info would be far less of an issue. The public would keep them in their prayers and be happy to welcome them back after recovering.

That’s not going to happen anymore.

And the Windsors brought that on themselves.

And BTW, HoW, if any of this is vaxx related, I ‘ll leave you with one final thought...

You vaxxed your kids.

I saw a video taking a closer look at that recent pic of “Kate” in the car....I don’t think it’s her.

The photo of Kate could be a photo of a double. It didn’t look much like Kate to me.
