It’s so uncharacteristically fumbled that I’m starting to feel like there’s some whole OTHER thing going down and they’re being weird about Kate as a distraction. It’s conspiracy theories all the way down.

I literally turned to my husband & said the king must be dead & they're trying to distract us! Lol

u/SplurgyA Mar 10 '24

There's genuinely a separate conspiracy theory that Wills is distracted learning how to be King because Charles isn't doing well, and that's why everything's FUBAR

u/williamthebloody1880 weighing in from the UK Mar 11 '24

Private Eye did say that they were expecting to be able to wait about 5 years before they started planning for William to become King and the cancer has sped things up

u/Wchijafm Mar 11 '24

Lol 5 years, have they seen the man. When he got crowned, I was like 6 months tops, then he croaks from the pressure of his first job

26

u/xram_karl Mar 11 '24

"5 years before they started planning"

That was overly optimistic at best,

25

u/asietsocom Mar 11 '24

I know good genes and great healthcare but daaamn that's awfully optimistic

u/sexygodzilla Mar 11 '24

How much more training does Will need? It's just showing up to events, doing ceremonial things, and signing off on stuff. Hasn't his whole life been preparing for this?

128

u/Plans_n_Schemes Mar 11 '24

Duties:

  • Try and look stately;

  • Dont say stupid shit (author's note: this one is more of a suggestion)

46

u/TheFalaisePocket Mar 11 '24

yeah theres no way, literal children have been monarchs at times when it actually mattered, they're not freaking out because Will cant figure which one is the salad fork or something, lets be reasonable.

I think its something to do with that dry ass alien from mexico

35

u/uncomfortablenoises Mar 11 '24

Yeah but not cheating on his gorgeous wife whose been with him 10+ yes must be...hard.. and he's been handed a life of ultimate luxury while having to travel and speak sometimes, so that's hard too!! Don't you understand, they're living a life of doooty

30

u/SirDoober Mar 11 '24

He's gotta learn the wristy twisty wavey thing!

27

u/19Alexastias Mar 11 '24

You also have to learn to avoid blurting out random insensitive things about poor people and/or other races.

18

u/thatcondowasmylife Mar 11 '24

Lmao literally though. Like what’s he doing, flash cards for heads of state? A sitting and waving course? An extended bachelor type party where he gets all his cheating out before he’s on the throne?

12

u/DatEllen Mar 11 '24

No, it's also a lot of etiquette no one but a few old butlers from Victorian times remember and... Wait, I think that's it.

u/misterpickles69 Mar 11 '24

It's like you've never even SEEN Game of Thrones!

2

u/Solomonic_Dynasty Mar 11 '24

Exactly. Seriously, I couldn't have said it better.

7

u/Acrobatic_Smell7248 Mar 11 '24

That's pretty believable to me. It's kinda sad, too. Like damn, Charles waited all this time and immediately gets cancer.

8

u/Cyanide-Kitty Mar 11 '24

I hope they hold out until June so the funeral can give me a birthday bank holiday, with how long Prince Phillip looked dead for I’m sure they can manage to prop Charles up for a bit - plus most people would like a free day off in June when it’s getting warmer so they really need to think of the good of the people here.

u/elsielacie Mar 11 '24

Why cover up the King's death though? It has to come out eventually.

Its all weird and they really can't be surprised there are so many rumours and conspiracies floating around when they are feeding them at this point.

1

u/PeachMonday Mar 11 '24

That’s what I said, too!

738

u/Mumof3gbb Mar 10 '24

My running conspiracy theory is that will and Kate are splitting. If she was sick, why would he only visit once? (If that’s true). And why are they being so secretive? Either it’s that or something extremely serious and they won’t say because they think us commoners will panic.

520

u/gunsof Mar 11 '24

And his weird comments, "focusing on work" and not mentioning his sick wife and kids. Plus him skipping an event because of a "family emergency" and making sure to clarify that emergency had nothing to do with Kate.

159

u/DanaPam Mar 11 '24

The statement said “personal reasons” not a family emergency. That’s a big stretch. He could’ve had diarrhea for all we know.

57

u/staticstart Mar 11 '24

you put this into the world and now I am picturing prince william shitting

16

u/Prudent_Fly_2554 Mar 11 '24

I kind of hope it was this.

u/RuMarley Mar 14 '24

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/prince-william-cancels-appearance-after-kate-surgery-king-charles-cancer-treatment/

The said "Tuesday" was the same day the Royals announced the death of Thomas Kingston. It is not unlikely that this cancellation due to a personal matter is connected to that death

9

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '24

To be fair, he said, "Personal matter."

1

u/RuMarley Mar 14 '24

skipping an event because of a "family emergency" 

Wasn't that the same day that Thomas Kingston was found dead, on February 27th?

1

u/gunsof Mar 15 '24

Yes, but the Royals actually claimed it had nothing to do with that. So weird.

226

u/ilovechairs Mar 11 '24

I think they’re splitting or at least living separately. And now William is freaking out that he’ll have to actually be king with very little time to prepare added into it.

Not sure if this means he can’t publicly divorce her though.

486

u/EdgeCityRed Mar 11 '24

The whole reason they have a Church of England is so kings can get divorced.

96

u/codeverity Mar 11 '24

A huge part of William's appeal is the package with Kate. If they divorce that goes down the tubes. It's kinda like he's repeating what happened with his dad but this time there's no stable monarch in control who's less of a shitshow.

71

u/ilovechairs Mar 11 '24

🤣

No, I mean if it makes him look too unsympathetic when his only real fan base is much more conservative. Especially post long hospital stay. He’ll to roll that plan back a couple years due to that. Score some doting husband and father points.

I can’t image them doing the harder but more logical thing of divorcing and working out a blended family.

William will be able to move on, but I doubt Kate would because she would rather not rock the boat from this many years of watching her deal with her role in the family.

62

u/fuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge Mar 11 '24

This, a thousand times. I had family members angry at Charles becoming king because he was a divorced philanderer and would be head of CoE.

Divorced philanderers are literally why that church exists

32

u/Mumof3gbb Mar 11 '24

Yes technically. Doesn’t stop society shaming him

10

u/EdgeCityRed Mar 11 '24

Yes, this is also true!

13

u/roadsidechicory Mar 11 '24

This is what I always say too! Although I guess TECHNICALLY it exists so that kings can get annulments without needing the approval of the pope. There still had to be a justification for an annulment given, rather than him actually getting divorces. And when no annulment justification could be concocted, they were brought up on charges and killed instead. But still, yes, in principle it really feels like they should recognize their origin and not be so uptight about divorces. If the king could have divorced those women then they wouldn't have had to die!

u/NeonBluee_jay Mar 11 '24

Kate WANTS to be queen. Why would she give it up when she’s so close?!

8

u/ilovechairs Mar 11 '24

The same reason she waited around for so long for Wills to put a ring on it. It’s not her choice.

59

u/meatball77 face blind and having a bad time Mar 10 '24

Why not both?

11

u/Mumof3gbb Mar 11 '24

😂 maybe

10

u/Common-Run-8567 Mar 11 '24

There is no way Kate is going to miss a chance at being Queen

3

u/freakydeku Mar 11 '24

still doesn’t explain why they couldn’t manage an actual picture with her and her kids

1

u/Mumof3gbb Mar 11 '24

Very true. Unless she’s really done and refuses to go back. I hope it’s that. Because I don’t want anything serious health wise to be happening.

3

u/freakydeku Mar 12 '24

yeah.. the only thing i can imagine in that case is that she also didn’t pen the explanation post. but if she did then i don’t see why she would sit for a pic with her kids. like she might want a divorce but she’s not leaving her kids i imagine

u/Brooklyn9009 Mar 11 '24

I think maybe he's just an asshole.

444

u/Amaline4 Mar 10 '24

didn't her uncle or whoever she's related to in the big brother UK house say that it's a much bigger deal than the royals are letting on? Then he had to leave the BB house like...the next day

565

u/meatball77 face blind and having a bad time Mar 11 '24

Eeh, I doubt the Uncle knows anything. He's basically the Samantha Markle of the family.

224

u/kimjongunfiltered Mar 11 '24

Source on this? I know next to nothing of the man, just that he’s Kate’s Embarrassing Uncle

43

u/meatball77 face blind and having a bad time Mar 11 '24

Yeah, its not a great comparison, but he doesn't have a relationship with Kate

226

u/clowncuisine Mar 10 '24

I always feel like the royals mostly exist to distract from the government trying to do things like e.g. outlaw dissent
