Avid social media users are likely to double down on a joke when prompted to stop telling it — and all the wild speculation about Catherine, Princess of Wales, since her surgery is no exception. After the March 4 photo of Kate Middleton circulated online, users on X (formerly known as Twitter) couldn’t help joining the conversation. Of course, it seems very unlikely people believe some of the outlandish theories they’re tossing around as jokes.
Referencing rumors that a doppelgänger would be taking Kate’s place, one X user wrote, “They wanted whoever this woman is pretending to be Kate Middleton to be seen lol. That’s right baby change that narrative.” Another user quipped, “Y’all said Kate Middleton got a BBL [Brazilian Butt Lift] and 2 days later her mother is driving around with a Madame Tussaud’s wax figure in the passenger seat.” Attached was a clip of someone saying, “Y’all cannot trick me!”
The Palace will likely not rise to the bait and share further details on Kate’s condition. A representative for Kate told Page Six in February 2024, “Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates.
