Escape from the palace and photoshopped bricks: the story of Kate Middleton’s “disappearance” is becoming more and more strange

Theories about Kate Middleton's "disappearance" and health are gaining momentum. The other day, the princess apologized for photoshopping a family portrait with children, and now another incident involving photo editing has become known.

Netizens carefully studied a new photo where the Princess of Wales allegedly leaves with Prince William in a Range Rover from Windsor Castle just a couple of hours after the fiasco with retouching a family photo and her apology, and noticed a wall of bricks of different colors in the frame. A Daily Mail source says the palace was trying to show that Kate was "fine" with the new photo. But eagle-eyed royal fans are speculating that William was actually driving alone in the car, and Kate's head was "added" using Photoshop, Page Six reports.

"Has no one else noticed that in the last photo of Kate Middleton in the car... the bricks in the car windows don't match the bricks outside... Is this another photoshopped photo?" — one of the users of the social network X shared his thoughts.

Amid the speculation, Goff Photos, which photographed William and Kate leaving the castle, told E! News that the images "were cropped and lightened" but "nothing was tampered with."

It seems that the royal family will soon have to present evidence that Kate is “alive,” as some British tabloids also note that the Princess of Wales could not withstand public pressure and escape from the palace.

In fact, “conspiracy theories” about Kate Middleton’s “disappearance” began even before the scandalous publication of the photo. Discussions about the situation surrounding the Princess of Wales began in January, when the royal family announced that Kate had undergone abdominal surgery. The wife of the future king of Great Britain has not appeared in public since Christmas and there are no details about her state of health: representatives of the royal family do not comment on the situation, they only note that the Princess of Wales is recovering. People online are sure that there was no abdominal surgery and suspect that Kate underwent surgery to remove the uterus.
