‘What is going on with Kate Middleton?’ is a mystery that might even trouble the likes of Benoit Blanc at this point. Since being spotted at the Christmas morning service at Sandringham Church, the Princess of Wales has disappeared from the public eye, and the internet, as expected, has gone wild with the theories regarding the matter.
The only update regarding the 42-year-old’s whereabouts came from Buckingham Palace, which revealed she had undergone an abdominal surgery and is expected to resume her official duties by April. However, British Comedian John Oliver hasn’t ruled out the possibility of her death, as he went on to joke about the matter by referencing the dark comedy Weekend at Bernie’s.
Death Is Certainly a Possibility Regarding Kate Middleton’s Disappearance per John Oliver
Kate Middleton‘s prolonged absence from the limelight since the revelation of the 42-year-old’s planned surgery in January resulted in a range of rumors. And following the Mother’s Day post by the Princess of Wales, which involved Middleton and her three kids, things only escalated. While on the surface it might not seem unusual, on further investigation, netizens spotted several editing mistakes littered throughout the image, implying it was doctored with Photoshop or AI.
With the fuss surrounding the situation, Gravity Falls Star John Oliver also tuned into the matter. On asked about the mystery surrounding Middleton’s situation, the comedian didn’t rule out the possibility of her death, joking that it might be a Weekend at Bernie’s situation. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Oliver said:
“I was out. I thought, ‘Let’s all just ignore this. We’ve moved on,’ until the Photoshop thing. That feels, like, you’re almost handling it in an oppressive way at this point. There is a non-zero chance she died 18 months ago. They might be ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’-ing this situation. I’m not saying it happened, but I’m saying it’s non-zero until proven otherwise. Until we see her sitting there with a copy of the day’s paper.”
For the unversed, Weekend at Bernie’s follows two employees, who are trying to convince others that their boss is still alive after finding him dead in his beach house.
Kate Middleton’s Apparent Tweet Did Little to Alleviate Things
Surrounding the drama surrounding the doctored images, a tweet was made from the official Prince and Princess of Wales X account. In the tweet, Middleton apologized for the images, stating “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” as she ended her statement by wishing everyone “a very happy Mother’s Day.”
Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C

However, the tweet has done little to alleviate the situation, as some aren’t convinced it was actually Middleton behind the tweet. Keeping in mind it was initially announced that she’ll be resuming her duties by April, it might not be too long before we get some definite answers.
