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

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 8 months ago (2 children)

She's in between Kate Lefton and Kate Righton

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Above Kate Downton in height, but below Kate Upton.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

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

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

Also, there is something called Internet search ;)

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

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?

She died in surgery rip in peace 😌
