Good morning. Yesterday’s Daily Mirror, like many of the newspapers, featured a wholesome picture of the Princess of Wales with her children. “It is hoped the photo will stop the wild conspiracies about Kate’s health as she recovers,” the caption read. Well, not exactly.
It’s been a heady couple of days on WhatsApp. On Sunday afternoon, the resident royal mystery connoisseur on one of my group chats sent round a series of screenshots of parts of the photo in a “just asking questions” sort of way. Later that evening, something discombobulating happened: the conspiracists turned out to be right.
