Kate: Artist & Photographer: "After her successful charitable ventures, Kate decided that she wanted to spread her wings & handed in her notice at Jigsaw... [Kate interned w/ photographers Mario Testino in NYC & Alistair Morrison]

"Kate approached me when she was at university to come & do a little bit of work w/her & we've kept in touch. She is very, very good, and it shows. She takes very beautiful, detailed photographs. She has a huge talent and a great eye. I'm sure she will go far." Alistair Morrison¹

¹Kate The Making of a Princess by Claudia Joseph p259

"the 18-year-old, who was a keen photographer...a promising artist as well as a talented photographer, Kate had left Marlborough College that summer with an A grade in art at A level under her belt"²

"Kate had applied to study art history at several universities and it was almost a given that she would spend a portion of her gap year in Italy...a 12-week course in Italian at the world-renowned British Institute. She was one of about a dozen girls in her class at the Institute, "³

Putting the fact that I fucking despise the monarchy aside I think it's extremely creepy that a eight year old girl is trending with people making slay edits of her and she had no choice in the matter she was just born and now how she behaves at a tennis match makes her go viral. If people were staring at me when I was 8 I'd go insane. I know monarchists generally aren't ethical people but maybe take a second to be like why am I flooding my blog with pictures of an eight year old girl who has no choice in the matter

#same goes for louis when he's being a dick to kate #i hate the monarchy and everything it stands for doesn't mean i think making a child misbehaving into a meme is funny #princess charlotte #anti royal family #anti monarchy

Jillian McArthur's trading card

template by @squea and @buttertrait. Thank you for such an amazing idea! I couldn't find an idea for the adventurers but so thankful to take part of the community through your creative ideas!

Jillian McArthur is an aspiring writer, who is the most inspired when brainstorming at her favorite cafe La Princesse. She is known as the mother of her group of friends and her favorite genre to write is actually children's stories. In parties, she can usually be found in the corner. Not because she is shy, mostly because she prefers getting approached than approach others. (She also kind of lacks confidence in her social skills...)

OH BUT OMG a SR card version of Jillian!

Jillian Sapphire has now become THE princess in this simverse. Happy in marriage, she had to learn how to step up for her royal duties. She is now a charismatic princess - sometimes still showing she is not fully confident - and having her by his side makes her husband look even greater than before. However to become a princess, she had to forsake her dreams of becoming an author... She now keeps her stories for her daughters I guess?

#simblrtradingcards #simblr #sapphire plus*#I LOVE JILLIAN SO MUCH #And yes she's very Kate princess of Wales coded in her princess aspect I didn't make it on purpose

Benophie au where Sophie is called in last minute to be a Party Princess for Amelia’s 4th birthday party - Daphne had hired the company Penwood’s Once Upon a Party to supply the Princesses - because Posy’s sick.

She arrives at Hasting House with the other 3 performers (an Ariel, Tiana, and Rapunzel) dressed as Cinderella and is swept immediately into the chaos of a party full of 4-5 year olds.

All of the Bridgerton sibs had been begged to dress up by their niece (none of whom can withstand the puppy eyes she has expertly mastered), and Benedict is in the middle of complaining to Colin about his itchy Prince Charming costume when the Princesses arrive. He is immediately enchanted by the Cinderella and doesn’t even notice Colin laughing as he stares at her with the same look of awe the kids have.

He spends the next hour trying to work out how to appropriately flirt with a Princess at his niece’s birthday when Amelia practically drags the Cinderella over to “Uncle Benny!” to meet her “Prince Charming”. Sophie is desperately trying to withhold a laugh at the girl’s enthusiasm and curtesies to the man standing in front of her.

Amelia’s “Uncle Benny you have to dance with her, she’s your Princess!” is all it takes for Ben to offer his hand to the performer and lead her to the ‘dance floor’ (the circle of garden full of children on sugar highs) where some ridiculous KidsBop music is playing. The pair dance as Amelia starts telling her parents, aunts, uncles, and grandmother to come join as well - she makes Colin dance with the Ariel (Anthony mutters something about Colin and Redheads to a bemused Kate) - and soon the garden is full of adults dancing “like they do in the balls!” between running children.

Benedict uses this chaos to try and find out all he can about the mysterious princess, his attempts being hampered by the Cinderella (because she refuses to tell him her actual name and risk breaking the magic if a child overhears) only answering in character.

“What do you do for fun?” “Oh, I listen to the wonderful stories of GusGus, and talk to the geese.”

“What’s your favourite colour?” “Well many think it’s blue, and my mother’s was pink, but I love silver. It’s why my fairy godmother made my dress like this.”

“Do you have any siblings? I have frankly too many.” “Only two step-sisters, they try their best but they can struggle to be kind.”

“Please tell me what your real name is.” “You may call me Ella if you so wish.”

The conversation goes in circles with Ben trying to control his growing frustration at her evasion as she smiles more broadly with each line.

Sophie is eventually pulled away by Amelia to go to the craft table and Benedict is left bereft and nursing a crush that has definitely been clocked by the many Bridgertons.

The party eventually winds to a close with the princesses saying their goodbyes to the children and parents arriving to pick them up. With the last guests gone, and only Bridgertons at the house, Benedict tries one last time to speak to the Cinderella hoping to ask her out for a drink, when he gets swept up by a tired Amelia asking to be carried. By the time she’s settled on his back the princesses have vanished and his heart starts to sink mentally kicking himself for missing his chance.

That is until Simon walks up to him and passes him a card with a knowing look. Glancing down Benedict sees the logo of Penwood’s Once Upon A Party, and underneath, a quickly drawn shoe.

“Not quite an actual glass slipper, but good luck mate”.

#benophie #benedict bridgerton #sophie beckett #Sophie Bridgerton #Bridgerton #I just love them #and an Cinderella au #fanfic #Bridgerton fanfic #Bridgerton au #Ben waits until the next day to contact the company #he books their Cinderella and a couple of other Princess for a company family fun day #he’s desperate and it makes Anthony laugh as he approves the event #and is disappointed when a different woman shows up #it’s posy as she’s the normal girl they book #but she’s willing to give up slightly more information and leaves him with a few hints #he keeps trying to book the princesses for events and finally Kate declares that even is miles is only 1 they should have a Prince #and prince party #kate does this as she is starting to get tired of ben’s pining and honestly if he keeps on contacting the company it’ll get weird #if it hadn’t already #she found out at the last event that posy does Elsa as well as Cinderella #so books both but requests posy as Elsa in the hopes Sophie with turn up as Cinderella #she does #Benedict owes his sister in law everything #they live happily ever after #my posts #my work

Did Kate have emergency brain surgery?

Remember this?

Back in 2011, Kate was suspected of wearing hair extensions.

The spokesmen at St. James Palace--clearly better than the current crop at Kensington Palace--said it was a scar.

Shimmering in silver, the Duchess of Cambridge conducted her first solo engagement as a royal yesterday – and displayed a hitherto unknown childhood secret. Underneath Kate’s stylish half-up, half-down hairstyle a prominent three-inch scar could be seen on the side of her left temple. A spokesman for the Duchess at St James’s Palace confirmed last night that it was the result of surgery as a young child. ‘The scar related to a childhood operation,’ they said. The palace declined to discuss what kind of operation because it was, they said, a private matter. Senior royal sources also confirmed that it had been ‘a very serious operation’ but declined to comment further.

Some people speculate that Kate had a VP shunt placed during this surgery.

What Is a VP Shunt? A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a thin plastic tube that helps drain extra cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. CSF is the saltwater that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord. Why Are VP Shunts Placed? VP shunts are placed to treat hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus (hi-droh-SEF-eh-less) happens when CSF does not drain out of the hollow spaces inside the brain (called ventricles) as it should. VP shunts drain the extra fluid and help prevent pressure from getting too high in the brain.

How Do VP Shunts Work? Most shunts have two catheters (small, thin tubes) connected by a valve. One end of the upstream catheter is in a ventricle. The other end of the downstream catheter is in the peritoneal (pair-et-NEE-ul) cavity. This is the space inside the belly where the stomach and the bowels are. The shunt is all inside the body, under the skin. The valve opens when the pressure in the brain gets too high. This lets fluid drain from the brain into the peritoneal space. From there, the extra fluid is absorbed into the bloodstream.

[...]

Are There Any Risks From VP Shunts? VP shunts are generally safe, but there are some risks during and after the surgery. There can be bleeding, or an infection can develop. VP shunts do not work forever. When the shunt stops working: * The child can have another buildup of fluid in the brain. * Another surgery is needed to fix it. Problems with a VP shunt happen even with regular care and at unpredictable times. The shunt can get worn out or move as a child grows. A shunt also can get infected, which can be very serious. It's important for families to follow the surgeon's instructions for when to call and when to go to the ER. This way, treatment for an infected or worn-out shunt can start as soon as possible.

Rebecca English's article continues:

John Scurr, consultant surgeon at the Lister Hospital in London, said it was unlikely to have been the result of a tumour. ‘I really doubt it was any serious medical condition and I would say it is as a result of an arteriovenous malformation – a birthmark – being removed, ‘ he said. ‘It is remarkable, given the measurement, that no-one has noticed before.’

Katie Nicholl has a different surgery story regarding Kate when she was at Marlborough:

In her book Kate: The Future Queen, royal expert and biographer Katie Nicholl relays the story, which is just terrifying. Apparently, during Kate's time at Marlborough, she discovered a lump on the left side of her head. The school called Kate's mom, who promptly took her to the doctor. That doctor ordered an emergency operation to remove the lump. "I can remember the incident and her having an operation," Ann Patching, who worked at Marlborough for years, told Nicholl. "I don’t recall anything happening on the hockey pitch [field] that had anything to do with the lump. Catherine had the operation during her term time. She was back at school very soon afterwards. As usual, nothing was too much of a big deal for her. You could never accuse Catherine of being a drama queen, but Carole was very worried, as any mother would be." The evidence of Kate's emergency operation is still around today, in the form of a scar on her hairline that you can still spot in pictures of the Duchess.

So, is the real medical issue that Kate had an emergency admission to a hospital on 28 December 2023? Had an emergency operation and then went home thinking everything was fine.

Then a few weeks later she had serious, post-op complications and had to go back into have things re-done at The London Clinic? In an emergency situation?

That the Spanish reporter was correct she was in a coma, intubated, and with doctors fearing that she would die?

"Water on the brain," aka hydrocephalus is a serious issue and can kill.

Of course, still have to wonder if there were prior contributing factors such as "overwork."

The bees are in my brain, and as far as I can tell the dance they are making spells out "Enchanted Forest Chronicles MBS AU"

OH ABSOLUTELY

#I'm going out on a limb and guessing Constance is Cimorene?#Which would make Mr. B Kazul/a dragon of some sort and Rhonda and Number Two other princesses?#I guess Milligan is a knight who decided to stay with them #Ooohhh #Or maybe he's like the cursed stone prince or something #I think Morwen should be Reynie #And Sticky can be Telemain #Hmmmmm and then Kate can be Mendanbar?#But instead of regular backstory hers is like Daystar's where her dad is missing and she decides to go on a quest #Oh and the wizards as the Ten Men!!#Utterly perfect #I want to hear all of your ideas PLEASE #Asks

blade gunnblade !!!!!!!!

via eliza simpson:

There are no words for this true warrior. They kill me. MMM: went in for a post show hug. Me:"ow!" Asia: "oh sorry, that's my bullet necklace." 😳........ 😍

#blade gunnblade #asia kate dillon #kapow-i gogo #eliza simpson of [angel & others in the mysteries] & [the mother line story project] & [saw ak dillon in triptych yes we're jealous]#& [princess cloudberry in kapow-i gogo]#here we also see stephen stout in the 1st pic but going ''!! surely our dear cherished blade gunnblade's back. hair's long though hmm''#only to have that cleared up by the 3rd pic thank god =']#i guess at some point blade gunnblade has blue hair & i do love that for them #i believe they're in part 3 but i have all the less information about that plausible appearance #(and of course still no info on [asia perhaps doubling roles with the longer black haired wig & ultracorp jacket in that one pic?])#one thing that would be fascinating & fun is if part 3 blade has more of part 1 kapow-i's look. the bright blue hair #looks like pink lipstick. Pure Speculation but i know the like [this is reaction to You Know How Media Is] element discussed like #part 1 thinking most [sat. morning cartoons experience; the legend of] part 2 is like when these series get sequels or just some #ep or turning point that upends its own previous established conventions. Darker more Serious / Mature Themes etc #part 3 like well sequel to That which adds yet another layer of the same factor there lol #i'm not really that versed in All This Media directly b/c i'm not that versed in / familiar with much of any media directly but #i am also not completely at sea & also one thing i could think of is like. blade is our revenge vengeance tragic anti antagonist lmao #what if after that they get to lighten up in delightful contrast to the torment & tragedy. turn more optimistic moral support bestie etc #but like i said utter speculation based on ''oh this is a look they have?'' & comments on [comments on material commenting on itself] so #could be anything! or nothing! except that it's Something enough to have been photographed a couple of times. thank god #oh hang on also we can see that that's stephen stout's character in the pic of Wearing A Black Longer Haired Wig & Ultracorp Jacket #who's to say it isn't also: yes that's blade disguised or something. underneath they have this bright blue shorter wig & Blade Outfit lol #i would cheer for that. compelling #(also noting that it didn't preclude a doubling of roles instead but; that figure Is wearing blade's necklace. makes it easy to switch to #Blade Mode backstage; makes it easy to switch to Blade Mode onstage....)#which: noted! bullet necklace! makes sense lmao. sort of #also pic 2 ft. director kristin mccarthy parker fyi. and the typical blade hair length i.e. simply asia's own.#''😳........ 😍'' soooooo true ''MMM:'' standing for ''most memorable moment:'' and also sooooo true as well #blade gunnblade is everything to me. if they died in part 3 i'm blowing this whole building up. they have bright blue hair now
