Bizarre. People are losing their shit over a photo and that arse, Andrew, is still walking this earth.

There are many theories as to why it's taken the world by storm. Including, though not limited to:

*This country's rather peculiar attitude towards the Royals;
*The clunking great mistakes made by the usually robust Royal PR machine;
*How the British press didn't fall in line behind the "firm" as usual;
*How X/itter was already filling with "Where is Kate" conspiracy theories before the photograph was released, which only helped add fuel to the fire;
*The sense of community forged by joining in the circus of all this (which is why, earlier, I saw little issue with the phrase 'QAnon for wine moms' because research into how that spread from 4Chan to the real world under played just how most of it was a group of people wanting to meet up and share stories, theories, and solutions to clues, much in the way Swifties do whenever she posts cryptic references in her videos)
*The difference in coverage about Kate compared to Meghan (which is steeped in double standards, misogyny, and prejudice)
*How the media outside the UK deals with rumours about the Royals compared to media inside (and how those differences shifted)
 
Thread title is confusing.
Surely there has officially been a photo of Kate Middleton before now.

It's weird shit, right?

Over here, the only royal talked about is Meghan - and that's mainly by American right wing loons. Otherwise, apparently, people don't give a stuff. They have their own royalty to enthuse about, albeit in a more low-key fashion.

Ps. Have never heard of the term "wine mom" until today, but would like to take this opportunity to announce am able to drink red wine after many years believing that was not the case.
 
According to rumours in the foreign press, for rumours is all anyone has, it is either that William has dumped her, or that she had an intestinal (rather than abdominal) operation that has required the temporary use of of a bag while she recovers, and that all the secrecy is to spare her the embarrassement.
