“What’s happened to Kate Middleton” is beyond a joke now — it’s getting sinister. It’s the question on the lips of all royal watchers, drama-mongers, and every otherwise chronically online person. Now it’s safe to say that the “Katespiracy” is spiraling out of control.

“I started the KateSpiracy as a joke but now I’m a full card-carrying subscription-paying member,” an X user wrote on Sunday.

The lack of public appearances has fueled the rumor mill and spawned unfounded theories on social media. Some people have wondered aloud if Kate is still alive or if her marriage to Prince William is on the rocks.
