Kate Middleton - The Spanish and American Media have entered the chat

After last weeks briefings and royal sources it was only a matter of time..

Conflicting reports regarding Kate’s health, whereabouts, and return to royal engagements have emerged this week as a result of last week’s briefing from Kensington Palace, the release of a new portrait, and so-called “royal sources “having deep conversations with the Daily Beast, Daily Mail, and other British media outlets.

Did Kensington Palace open a can of worms? The palace seems to be in an unpredictable situation. If they do not release occasional statements regarding the Princess of Wales behind the scenes “work”, when she does return to royal engagements there will be no sense of continuation or consistency. Yet, as soon as the palace released its statement “royal sources”, “former palace aides”, “parents” and royal mouthpieces emerged.

The week began with People magazine claiming it had an exclusive. Kate Middleton had allegedly been spotted, but the source who decided to call People magazine did not provide any photo evidence, which makes one think “photo or it didn’t happen” but they knew that she was running “family errands” A recap of facts that are common knowledge followed as fluff for the People magazine piece. OK, People.

Then came Vanity Fair. The headline, Kate Middleton Update: The Princess Has “Turned a Corner” With Cancer Treatment, Sources Say - “It has been a great relief that she is tolerating the medication and is actually doing a lot better,” a family friend tells Vanity Fair of the royal, who is undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy.
