Social media is in knots over Kate’s absence from the public eye, and it’s only getting worse.
The public absence of Catherine, Princess of Wales, has grown from a niche royal watcher concern to an international punchline in a matter of weeks. While Kensington Palace said her January abdominal surgery was planned and indicated she would be out of the public eye through March, several unusual details — grainy photos, an altered image, vague medical information, irregular updates from the British royal family — have kept the public guessing. That’s never a good thing.
The social media platform X now supports groups known as “communities,” and one called “where TF is Kate Middleton” has attracted 4,400 members ready to cram on their sleuthing hats. “kate is missing and twitter is on the case! join us, indulge your guilty pleasure,” its description reads. “friends don’t let friends spiral down the royal rabbit hole alone.” Oh, and what a royal rabbit hole it is: Videos and posts in the group outline stories that could trump any fictional mystery-thriller.
