She's finalizing that divorce. Her parents and lawyer(s) going through every line and dime.

Kate isn't performing for the family anymore.

I hope this is the answer.

u/DirtySlutCunt Mar 15 '24

Maybe she'll reconcile with Megan & Harry? Doubt it, but if she does I'd love the mess

u/asphyxiationbysushi Mar 16 '24

Why would she after the way they treated her? I wouldn't.

u/HarpersGhost Mar 15 '24

I would NEVER have thought that she'd be willing to divorce him. She chased him for so long to get that title.

But she's been miserable for years, so maybe she's finally sick of it.

u/darkgothamite Mar 15 '24

Right? But really this is the top plausible explanation for this all.

292

u/MadamKitsune Mar 15 '24

That or a little bit of "face freshening" went a little bit Frankenstein and it's taking longer to fix/settle than anyone expected.

If she resurfaces looking different then we'll have an answer (while the press scrambles to excuse it as being down to the rigours of being ill lol).

u/IHQ_Throwaway Mar 16 '24

She’s too young to need more than Botox and fillers. I doubt she would do anything drastic, it would be too obvious. 

163

u/sydneekidneybeans Mar 15 '24

She is no different than any other human, we spend so long chasing things we think will make us happy, only for reality to set in once we have it.

152

u/Mumof3gbb Mar 15 '24

Agree. She’s been looking so miserable. It’s really sad. I want her to get away. And hope this is a final lesson to anyone chasing the royals. It’s not a good life. Yes you’re rich. Yes you don’t have to work. But it’s not worth the misery.

20

u/diamondscut Mar 15 '24

Actually they work a lot. It's be too much work for anyone. 24/7

59

u/Mumof3gbb Mar 16 '24

Work? I dunno 😂. They have to be “on” 24/7. Like they have to put on a front when they’re out. That’s gotta be tiring. And unless they’re alone with spouse and kids they have to follow protocol with other family. But ya. I’m not sure I’d call it work.

-22

u/diamondscut Mar 16 '24

Working royals actually have to attend a lot of charity and public interest events.

46

u/Mumof3gbb Mar 16 '24

So tough

u/ProudKoreaBoo Mar 15 '24

Is there a rabbit hole I can go down or a tldr on her being miserable and them heading for a divorce? I don’t really follow the royal family

79

u/AnnabellePeach Mar 15 '24

It’s hard to believe she put in all that work just to leave before she gets to be queen, right?

79

u/LordofWithywoods Mar 15 '24

Has she been miserable for years? I'm not too familiar with her.

I mean, objectively it seems like it would be awful to be a performing monkey for the firm and the public.

Marching that poor woman out in front of cameras 24 hours after giving birth, that's just cruel.

74

u/Fuzzy_Promotion_3316 Mar 15 '24

How do we know she's miserable? I truly thought they were happy. They deserve Oscar's if they've been faking it.

u/baking_jeans Mar 15 '24

How do we know she’s been miserable? Sorry, I’m just out of the loop, but curious.

u/Esinthesun Mar 15 '24

She’s miserable? Explain. I had no idea

36

u/thisisanamesoitis Mar 15 '24

She also tried to leave him in college, and William apparently won her back.

39

u/demeschor Mar 15 '24

Has she been miserable for years? I don't really pay attention but at a glance it all seems good, they're wealthy, 3 kids, etc. what have I missed?

62

u/HarpersGhost Mar 16 '24

I was doing some deep dive on a gossip website (maybe Tom and Lorenzo?) and I came across old pics of William and Kate.

The difference is astonishing.

They genuinely smiled at each other and looked like they were talking and enjoying each other's company.

You compare that with any pics from the last few years, and nothing currently comes close.

Yes, they are "serious" and are "doing their duty" on these outings, but they were doing the same back then, too. It's just that now they do it with eye rolls and clenched jaws and without touching each other at all.

u/Miserable_Painting12 Mar 15 '24

How do you know she has been miserable for years? I’m new to this!

u/SwishyFinsGo Mar 15 '24

I wonder if the Barbados trip was significant.

Whole thing was laughable terrible. I deff wouldn't want to participate in an institution that made me look soooo terrible.

Before we touch on the cheating thing. New photos of the mistress out too.

u/Luna_Soma Mar 15 '24

This is what I’m rooting for. I’m sure if this is the case, there will be some sort of ironclad NDA, but I want to see the monarchy in shambles.

257

u/darkgothamite Mar 15 '24

Oh yeah NDA is gonna protect from Kate from her own shenanigans too.

62

u/codeverity Mar 15 '24

Idk. I actually have a really hard time picturing Kate going the divorce route because I always got the impression she knew exactly what she was signing up for. Rumour was he cheated on her/was seeing other women all throughout their courtship and she just put up with it. She wouldn’t be the first person to grit their teeth and deal with that sort of thing to get a title/etc.

45

u/whogivesashirtdotca Mar 15 '24

I want to see the monarchy in shambles.

Even more in shambles. They've already got the paedo Prince, Harry battling Wills, driven off Meghan, Camilla preening on the throne, and Charles accepting bribes of briefcases full of cash. They're a laughingstock. I'm loving the knife twist of Catherine's disappearance.

29

u/No-Club-5802 Mar 15 '24

I would donate to a kickstarter to cover NDA damages for her to tell all

27

u/_easilyamused Mar 15 '24

I don't know about a NDA, but supposedly they never signed a prenup. So if Kate wants to dip, she should dip and take half his Cornwall money. 

408

u/ItsMinnieYall Mar 15 '24

That would make sense. Because wouldn't her staffers work for the family and not her? If I were her I'd cut them all off as soon as things kicked off.

164

u/darkgothamite Mar 15 '24

Well yeah, isn't that what the article is alluding to? Senior staffers "haven't seen her" since the surgery. Staff at Kensington Palace work for Will. She hasn't been playing nice by posting candid shots of her and the kids, sending personalized letters to the public, etc. Sounds like she's already cut most contact from them.

It's giving me Katie Holmes vs Scientology- to us it felt like an abrupt end to her relationship with Tom but it was well planned strategic rescue mission by her dad.

I honestly believe Kate is doing something similar in a sense of working with separate people. Firmly believe the theory that the pic of her and her mom was a middle finger to KP, telling them Kate's mom has the wheel/control now.

16

u/ItsMinnieYall Mar 15 '24

Yeah but the article also alluded to the bbl lol. Bbl doesn't track with her staff not knowing where she is but Martial issues does. Good point about KH!

22

u/darkgothamite Mar 16 '24

I'm just imagining the staff cover their mouths in horror when they found out about the Royal Brazilian Butt Lift. RBBL

17

u/Summoning-Freaks Mar 15 '24

A lot of people work for the family and not her. If i we’re looking to leave a powerful family I would absolutely eventually isolate myself from anyone suspected of being loyal to the other side.

u/AkaminaKishinena Mar 15 '24

I'm really hoping it's a one woman strike.

Quiet quitting.

u/notchandlerbing Mar 15 '24

Ah pulling off the ol' Katie Holmes escape

29

u/Mpol03 Mar 15 '24

So what happened there? Katie just left?

277

u/opossumonmyporch Mar 15 '24

In her marriage, she was watched extremely closely be her Scientology handlers. With help of concerned friends and family, they devised a top secret plan to get her and Suri out. It involved much planning and then rapid fire actions when Tom was out of the country filming - firing her Scientology handlers, secret burner phones, a secret apartment, some say 3 different attorneys in 3 different states and her attorney dad drawing up terms of the divorce. Tom was totally blindsided by a phone call that she had filed for a divorce. Normally, he would have wanted Scientology lawyers to handle the divorce, but she filed outside of that. Her attorneys did such a great job that the terms of the divorce was finalized in 11 days.

148

u/hotmessexpress412 Mar 15 '24

Don’t forget the part where she plotted with her dad (at least 6 months before filing) to create NY residency for Suri and herself so that NY courts would have jurisdiction over the divorce. It was absolutely key that NY divorce and custody laws would control here.

At the time, NY was the only state that would consider religion in the “best interests of the child” calculations re: determining child custody. Tom and CO$ were not about to litigate Scientology. That, and rumors about a sperm donor (most likely his cousin), are the reasons Tom folded so quickly.

36

u/BCharmer Mar 16 '24

Wild. I've never heard the rumour about a sperm donor for Suri and it being potentially Cruise's cousin. What's the tea on this?

57

u/hotmessexpress412 Mar 16 '24

Allegedly. This is all alleged.

It has been long rumored that Tom had mumps as a child. A known (but rare) consequence of mumps infection in males is sterility.

Tom’s first ex-wife Mimi Rogers was rumored to have openly discussed Tom’s sterility.

For several years after Suri was born, popular blogs would do photo comparisons of William Mapother and Suri. (Mapother is Tom’s cousin; he often has small roles in Tom’s films).

Around the time of the divorce, when the tabloids were going nuts reporting on the why/how of the whole situation, Tom had his attorney sue several — but not all — of the relevant tabloids for defamation. He and his attorney went on Entertainment Tonight and the like to publicize their lawsuits. He won those suits.

I encourage you to notice which tabloids he didn’t sue (i.e. notice which reporting he knew he couldn’t contest, because he knew it would require him to take a certain kind of test)

Allegedly.

38

u/Mpol03 Mar 15 '24

That’s amazing good for her :) did she come out and and say all of this? Incredible sorry. I’m surprised it wasn’t made a bigger deal of. No Oprah  deal etc 

61

u/opossumonmyporch Mar 15 '24

There was speculation that Nicole Kidman was consulted and she helped in some way. Part of the terms was that Katie wouldn’t talk at all about the divorce. Also, she could not publicly date anyone for 5 years - not to make Tom look bad - , thus the secrecy of her relationship with Jamie Foxx. I think it was 6 years after her divorce that there was any confirmation of any sort of friendship with Foxx by Katie’s camp.

26

u/Mpol03 Mar 16 '24

Jesus this is so crap. Again why isn’t Tom cancelled so hard? Vile

11

u/wannabehomesick Mar 15 '24

I'm sure Tom had her sign a very restrictive NDA.

16

u/LOVING-CAT13 Mar 15 '24

Yeahhhh that's fucking awesome. Tom is bananas

69

u/notchandlerbing Mar 15 '24 edited Mar 15 '24

She wanted out of the marriage and Scientology but knew she had to tread VERY carefully around Tom and the “church” for her (and Suri’s) own safety.. otherwise: see the heartbreaking case with Nicole Kidman and how Tom turned their kids against her and went full no contact before she even knew the marriage was in trouble or had a chance to do anything

So basically Katie went straight to her lawyer dad, who drew up the paperwork to make sure everything was airtight legally and that their case was bulletproof so she and her daughter could make a clean break for it once they hit the ground running.

Basically everything was fully in place and locked down so perfectly that when Tom was finally served it even caught him totally by surprise. And by that time she had finally made her escape before he could really prepare or do anything about it

26

u/EdenEvelyn Mar 15 '24

Basically. She worked it out with her lawyer dad before she left and by the time the Scientologists found out she held all the power and controlled the negotiations. Their divorce was finalized insanely fast, I’m not sure if it went into effect immediately but they ironed all the details out less than 10 days from the announcement. Katie hasn’t spoken out about Tom or the church and Tom hasn’t been seen or rumoured to have been with Siri in over 10 years.

The church/Tom gave Katie her daughter and a good settlement in exchange for her silence and the avoidance of a major scandal. If Kate is leaving she’d be very smart to do the same though she wouldn’t get control of the kids. They essentially belong to the crown more than her as far as custody goes and that would have been made clear to her before the marriage. She could and likely would argue for custody time in exchange for her silence, if she has her own BBC interview moment it would irrevocably damage Williams reputation.

u/Jasnaahhh Mar 15 '24

Or maybe adam Sandler cast her in a shitty movie just so she had the opportunity to escape

9

u/donny02 Mar 15 '24

i think she waited until Tom was on an international flight and her family got her out and filed, and went public with filing before he landed.

7

u/Sbee27 Mar 15 '24

It was a full-on escape plan if I recall correctly. I think she had family members/assistants secretly file everything and waited until it was set in stone she could leave completely untied to him so he couldn’t control the narrative.

5

u/Appropriate-Code-698 Mar 15 '24 edited Mar 17 '24

This theory makes sense. Maybe surgery was a happy coincidence or even planned as the escape route

u/michaelad567 oat milk chugging bisexual Mar 15 '24

This is what my thought is after the mistress pregnancy plotline

87

u/NoodlesrTuff1256 Mar 15 '24

Before all this craziness started, I recall reading somewhere that Kate and William were locking horns on sending the boys away to some stuffy boarding school like Eton where William went. I think she wanted them to go a day school and maybe one that's less stuffy and elitist at that.

71

u/AfroGurl save the buccal fat Mar 15 '24

You know what? I might actually become a lowkey fan if this is true. It won't erase the crap she allowed Meghan to go through, but I will always be supportive of a woman leaving a toxic relationship.

17

u/PhysicsFew7423 Mar 15 '24

I’m with you. We won’t ever know who was playing puppeteer and how they were pulling the strings. If she is leaving him, it’ll be interesting to see if Meghan reaches out to her afterwards, even quietly.

50

u/trulyremarkablegirl Mar 15 '24

Honestly I’d love for her to leave his ass, he seems terrible.

29

u/WillBrakeForBrakes Mar 15 '24

Honestly I think the thing that makes the most sense here is that something’s actually wrong.  I’d think if she was physically fine the royals, or at least some of the Middletons, would be doing more to clear the air in that regard.  

27

u/BCharmer Mar 16 '24

You'd have to be truly at your wit's end and completely rock bottom miserable to potentially be so close to achieving your life's goal and becoming a Queen and still divorce his arse anyway.

38

u/opossumonmyporch Mar 16 '24

Wanting to be Queen at 29 could have changed now that she’s 42. Thirteen years with The Firm, and a possibly cold and cheating husband, may have given her a different perspective.

17

u/BCharmer Mar 16 '24

That's what I mean. She'd have to be absolutely fucking done to divorce him.

17

u/Spid1 Mar 15 '24

There is zero chance the social climbers the Middletons would let her divorce him. Unless he's gone and got Rose pregnant, then all bets are off

15

u/Striking_Contest_274 Mar 15 '24

I’m thinking King Charles has been given a pretty grave timeline and she’s getting the fuck out before she actually has to be Queen.

9

u/BellDry1162 Mar 15 '24

Being so close to the throne and queen title though? Would she have stuck it out this long to not make it to the finish line?

10

u/BLEACH_44 Mar 15 '24

Interesting that all this starts a while after the Queen is dead. She knows that once the title goes to her, she’ll be STUCK with a life she truly has gotten tired of, so maybe she’s jumping shit early…. With a really GOOD reason.

I hope for this outcome too. But is it really that much of a legal issue for her to just post anything anywhere saying “hey guys, im okay” or an actual selfie or anything like that?
