The recent absence of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis from the public eye has ignited a frenzy of speculation among royal enthusiasts, and they wasted no time trying to work out the reasons why the three had been MIA. Some fans think that Kate Middleton is divorcing Prince William and has decided to whisk the kids away, while others believe that her health issues are more serious than officially stated.
“Did Kate Middleton pull a Katie Holmes and escape with her kids?” one curious royal watcher pondered on X, formerly Twitter, with another theorizing, “I know I’m late to this whole #KateMiddleton #PrincessofWales drama. But I wonder, what if she’s recovering from Cancer and the press are mute out if [sic] respect for her children? Maybe she didn’t want her kids to find out.” Some fans side-eyed Prince William’s withdrawal from several engagements and the use of his original cipher in announcements. “Kate is not recovering from anything, she is GONE. William is making that as obvious as possible. Solo monogram, no mention of anyone but. himself. Take a hint, derangers. She’s GONE,” a fan tweeted.
Meanwhile, so-called royal insiders claim the Prince of Wales is just busy being a dad now that he’s flying solo with Kate in recovery. “William has canceled two out of the country appearances and will be taking more of the childcare duties for him and Kate,” a source told Us Weekly. Royal biographer Robert Hardman also told People he’s more involved in the kids’ day-to-day. “They are a modern royal couple,” he said. “There would have been more delegation [in the past]. He doesn’t want to leave it all to the nanny.”
