The phone lines at the Palace are undoubtedly ablaze with an influx of Kate Middleton-centric conspiracies, now dubbed “Katespiracies” or “Kate Gate,” spiraling out of control. Social media feeds are inundated with new terminologies and discussions about the whereabouts and well-being of the Princess of Wales. Despite Kensington Palace’s assurances of her returning to her royal duties post-Easter, the situation refuses to simmer down. Instead, it has gained momentum, with even American media outlets jumping into the fray. US television personalities are eager to delve into the gossip, with the recent altered Mother’s Day family portrait only adding fuel to the fire for Princess Catherine. Amidst it all, rumors of her husband’s alleged affair resurfacing have further complicated the royal drama. Here’s what some American celebrities have to say about the escalating controversies.
American media’s focus on Kate Middleton’s conspiracy theories has escalated.
“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert dishes out gossip: Is Prince William cheating?
During one of his recent opening monologues, Stephen Colbert delved into the swirling rumors of Prince William’s alleged affair. These speculations, which have been the subject of tabloid gossip for some time, resurfaced prominently when Kate Middleton’s absence from public view became a topic of widespread discussion online.
A discreet photograph depicting the 42-year-old Duchess alongside Prince William as they departed from Windsor in a car initially seemed like it would quell any suspicions surrounding her absence. However, far from dispelling the rumors, the image only seemed to fan the flames further. Online observers, particularly on Twitter, began to speculate that the woman seated beside William in the car was not Middleton herself. Analysis of the picture, which captured the unidentified woman facing away from the camera towards the opposite window, prompted questions about Middleton’s sudden aversion to being photographed, a departure from her usual demeanor. Many online voices ultimately concluded that William’s companion in the car was none other than his alleged mistress, Lady Rose Hanbury.
Colbert, in his monologue, echoed these suggestions, weaving them into his comedic narrative. Despite the lack of confirmation regarding this alleged affair, the gossip persisted, with many drawing connections between Middleton’s public absence and the rumors surrounding William’s fidelity. Colbert, more focused on humor than on dissecting a timeline, cracked jokes at the expense of the unfolding situation.
Reports even suggested that Kate had confronted William about these distressing rumors back in 2019, only to be met with his dismissal, seemingly brushing off the allegations with laughter.
John Oliver jokingly remarks on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live!, saying, “There’s a slim possibility she passed away 18 months ago.”
British-American comedian John Oliver had largely moved on from the Kate Middleton situation, like many netizens, until the controversy surrounding the “Photoshop thing” erupted. During an episode of Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday night, host Andy Cohen delved into the royal scandal, seeking insight into the situation surrounding Middleton. Oliver, known for his sharp wit, joined the conversation with a perspective that echoed the sentiments of many internet sleuths: How could Kensington Palace’s attempts to address the situation only exacerbate the scandalous rumors rather than quelling them?
In his characteristic facetious manner, Oliver made tongue-in-cheek remarks about the “non-zero chance” of Middleton’s death, which ignited a firestorm of reaction online. He further quipped, “I’m not saying it happened, I’m saying it’s non-zero. Until proved otherwise, until we see her with a copy of today’s newspaper.” Oliver’s comments added another layer of speculation to an already fraught situation, highlighting the challenges faced by the royal family in managing public perception amidst ongoing rumors and controversies.
The hosts of The Daily Show dissect the Kate Middleton Photoshop mishap and other related topics.
The Daily Show hosts Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta didn’t hold back as they delved into the Photoshop scandal surrounding Kate Middleton. Lydic’s humorous jab at the situation quipped, “I’m calling bullsh** that Kate was the one who edited the picture. This is the royal family. They don’t do anything themselves…The only thing they know how to do without help is adultery,” adding a lighthearted spin to the ongoing conspiracy theories.
Despite efforts by royal authorities to demonstrate Middleton’s presence during her absence, their attempts seem to have backfired. The Photoshop blunder only exacerbated the situation. Requests were made to remove the Mother’s Day family photo due to its evident digital alteration, highlighting the failure to maintain a semblance of normalcy.
