What is this referencing? I'm out of the loop

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 64 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

She hasn't been seen since her surgery a few months ago. They palace recently released a pic of her, but AP and other photo publishers had to retract it because it was obviously manipulated. It appears they photoshopped in her face from a magazine photoshoot a few years ago.

I don't usually follow this stuff, but it turns out that when a photo gets retracted it's called a "kill notice" or a "photo kill". I didn't know that, so when I saw headlines saying that AP put out a kill notice on the royal family it got my attention lol

Fucking finally I have context for all the royal family references. Thank you!

Okay next question: who is Kate Middleton?

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 7 months ago

She's in between Kate Lefton and Kate Righton

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 7 months ago

Above Kate Downton in height, but below Kate Upton.

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

This is so much better. Who would have guessed there'd be multiple famous Kate ton names

[-] Luisp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

Mid of feed ftw

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago

I believe she's the wife of one of the royal kids.

Also, there is something called Internet search ;)

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I honestly don't care enough to look them up. It was easier to just leave a comment.

The public has not seen her in a while, there is a hypothesis that she is in an induced coma after a failed surgery. Apparently the royal family released a fabricated photo (AI of Photoshop) showing her

[-] Khrux@ttrpg.network 14 points 7 months ago

The photo is absolutely true. Not just are there several AI artifacts but her face in the photo is identical to a photo from a photoshoot that came from vogue, meaning it's very likely that she wasn't at this photoshoot at all.

Honestly, particularly as someone who only married into the royal family, my heart goes out to her for whatever is going on. It's clear that since that operation she's been out of the public eye, whether she's just recovering, in a coma or as some believe dead, it's still sad.

What I don't understand is the cover up and mystery, particularly when it comes to the wife of the future king after the massive amounts of drama and conspiracy around Diana.

Yeah... that's the thing... What could be so messed up that you want to cover it and not say anything about it? Maybe at the end is nothing crazy and she didn't want to share or talk about it or whatever but feels super weird.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Some people online were speculating due to the description of it being an abdominal surgery and the timeline that perhaps she got a BBL

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

I'd agree with you, especially since BBLs are super dangerous and could definitely explain that she had a fat embolism that travelled to her brain and caused a stroke, but I'd say it's pretty unlikely. Also I'd say it's even more unlikely that she would want a BBL as a member of the royal family with all eyes on her. Who knows what happened, it's weird.

And the Photoshop job is really bad. Complete novices can perform a better job than that.

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It isn't even a matter of skill, it's a matter of attention + basic file management and/or workflow process.

I cannot imagine a scenario where the one editing the image is actually responsible for this fuck up.

If I had to guess, I would assume the social media management team accessed the editors computer without their knowledge.

Either this or the editor was high as fuck.

[-] MuffinHeeler@aussie.zone 14 points 7 months ago

She was last seen properly in public on Christmas Day 2023. She had surgery early January. Info is all vague. There's been 2 recent paparazzi pics of her recently, grainy through car windows).

That's the background, not sure about the death idea the other commenter said. Maybe there's a conspiracy that she's dead?

[-] Vendul@feddit.de 8 points 7 months ago

She died in surgery rip in peace 😌

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 32 points 7 months ago

Mr Bean. Best abdominal surgeon in all of Britain.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 14 points 7 months ago

Kind of weird the press are calling her Kate Middleton, like they think it’s only a matter of time.
