原标题：各种传言层出不穷，王室声誉再遭打击，凯特王妃“失踪”之谜搅动英国

【环球时报驻英国特约记者 纪双城 环球时报记者 赵霜】“凯特王妃去哪儿了？”近日，关于英国王储妃凯特“失踪”的传闻，逐渐演变成了一场搅动英国的舆论风暴。自去年圣诞节之后，凯特一直未公开露面。3月10日，王室在英国母亲节当天公布了一张凯特与3个孩子的合照，却被多家媒体质疑“P图”，凯特在社交平台X上的账号为此道歉，但就是不公开露面。各种谣言和阴谋论因此甚嚣尘上：凯特健康状况危急、婚姻遭遇变故……一些媒体大篇幅炒作凯特丈夫威廉王子的“绯闻情人”。种种猜测让英国王室深陷信任危机，有猜测还担忧凯特“可能重蹈戴安娜王妃的覆辙”。英国《独立报》15日援引法新社全球新闻总监切特温德的话称：“肯辛顿宫已经不再是值得信任的消息来源。”

“整个英国都陷入了动荡”

14日，威廉王子在参观慈善机构时提及妻子凯特，称其“很有艺术气息”。当天晚些时候，他在出席母亲戴安娜遗产奖颁奖典礼时表示，将和妻子凯特一起致力于延续戴安娜的遗产。威廉发表上述言论之际，凯特并未现身，她失踪引发的舆论风暴越来越猛烈。“凯特在哪里？”远在大洋彼岸的美国哥伦比亚广播公司著名主持人史蒂芬·科尔伯特14日在《晚间秀》节目中称：“凯特似乎失踪了，整个英国都陷入了动荡。”

凯特上一次公开露面还是在去年圣诞节。今年1月，英国王室称凯特王妃接受了腹部手术。然而到了3月，她仍然没有公开露面。为了平息人们的猜测，王室在母亲节当天发布了凯特和3个孩子的合影。但随即被发现这张照片是多张图片合成的“P图”。第二天，“凯特的社交账号”为此表示道歉，声称“自己喜欢尝试P图”，但她并未公开现身。王室至今仍拒绝发布未经编辑的原始照片。美国《纽约邮报》称，“这张照片的目的是平息有关凯特长期缺席公众视线的猜测，但事与愿违。”

谣言与阴谋论满天飞

英国“Pig Six”网站称，英国喜剧演员奥利弗12日谈及凯特“P图”风波时说起自己的“惊人发现”，他嘲讽一些关于凯特的阴谋论称：“凯特在18个月前去世的可能性不为零。”

奥利弗所说的是现在围绕凯特的几大阴谋论之一。《新西兰先驱报》报道称，其中一种说法是凯特因医疗并发症而陷入“昏迷”。这一说法立即被一名王室人士在英国《泰晤士报》上反驳，然而这未能阻止流言传播。有分析称，42岁的凯特王妃正当壮年，曾经是学校的运动健将，之前看上去也很健康。当年凯特在生完孩子的第二天，就光着腿穿着高跟鞋在室外接受记者采访，这次为何手术后这么久，还未公开露面？

目前传得最多的谣言是猜测王储威廉王子和凯特的婚姻出现问题。美国主持人科尔伯特在节目中称：“现在，互联网侦探们猜测凯特的失踪可能和未来英国国王的外遇有关……我想我们都知道所谓的另一个女人是谁——乔蒙德利侯爵夫人。”科尔伯特指的是威廉的密友罗斯·汉伯里。

这两天，英国各小报纷纷大篇幅报道罗斯·汉伯里。在谷歌或雅虎随便一搜，就可看到一堆媒体的报道：“罗斯·汉伯里是谁？她与王妃风波有何联系？”“解读罗斯·汉伯里与威廉和凯特的最新争议性关系”“侯爵夫人罗斯：凯特王妃P图风波背后的人”。

美国《新闻周刊》称，罗斯是英国女王伊丽莎白二世密友的孙女。与平民出身的凯特不同，罗斯是传统贵族名门出身。罗斯的外曾祖父曾经是陆军元帅，她的外婆是伊丽莎白二世的密友。罗斯从小就与威廉认识。她毕业后成为一名模特，2009年与乔蒙德利侯爵结婚。威廉出轨罗斯的传言最早源于2019年英国《太阳报》的报道，据称当时凯特就此事与威廉发生过矛盾。

面对这些阴谋论，英国王室试图作出反应。3月初，一名摄影师拍到凯特坐在SUV副驾驶座上、微笑面对镜头的照片。然而，这张照片中戴着宽幅太阳镜的凯特被很多人质疑不像本人，甚至引发“替身说”。至于“外遇”猜测，《多伦多星报》援引消息人士的话报道称，英国王室否认此事，凯特和罗斯“私下”还称要起诉相关小报。不过，这些消息王室从未公开承认。

很多人说起戴安娜

近年来，英国王室在普通民众心中的形象越来越受到争议。半岛电视台曾称，作为普通民众，不少英国人认为王室“已经过时了”。尤其是目前英国正处在经济困境之中，许多民众生活窘迫，民众上缴的税收却要用在供养王室的奢侈生活上。英国《卫报》也称，君主制是“国家变得更加不平等的象征”。

2022年伊丽莎白二世去世后，英国王室更是接连遭遇危机。现任国王查尔斯被确诊癌症；被称为王室最帅女婿、查尔斯的堂妹夫金斯顿突然自杀。王室的各种丑闻也在撕裂英国社会。哈里王子和妻子梅根逃离王室、远走美国；安德鲁王子则被指为在监狱中自杀的“性侵大亨”爱泼斯坦的座上宾，陷入所谓“萝莉岛”性丑闻。与此同时，平民出身的凯特王妃不仅忠实履行王室职责，而且在公众面前永远是穿着优雅，举止得体。她持重完美的行事风格，赢得了英国民众的心。加拿大广播公司引述传播学专家麦克唐纳的话称，凯特是英国王室重塑形象的关键人物，并且一直做得很好，“非常符合君主制的形象”。

不过，许多人担忧凯特重蹈戴安娜王妃的覆辙。《纽约时报》13日报道的标题就是，“从戴安娜到凯特，陷于舆论风暴中心的王室成员”。《纽约时报》称，对于在一场又一场自己制造的危机中跌跌撞撞的王室来说，此事已经演变为一场全新的风暴。这一次涉及的是王室最受欢迎的成员——一位平民出身的未来王后。报道称，1997年，戴安娜王妃在巴黎遭遇摄影师超速追击，在一场车祸中丧生。凯特也曾成为狗仔队的受害者。王室历史学家埃德·欧文斯称，这一系列事件和谣言带来了巨大的破坏性，因为对公众来说，它“让人怀疑”凯特在王室生活的“真实性”。

新闻译文：

Original title: various rumors abound, the reputation of the royal family is once again hit, and the mystery of Kate's disappearance stirs up the UK

"Where has Kate gone?" Recently, rumors about the disappearance of British Crown Princess Kate have gradually escalated into a public opinion storm that has stirred up the UK. Kate has not appeared in public since last Christmas. On March 10th, the royal family released a photo of Kate and her three children on Mother's Day in the UK, but it was questioned by multiple media outlets for its "P image". Kate apologized on social media platform X for this, but did not make a public appearance. Various rumors and conspiracy theories have become rampant as a result: Kate's health is in critical condition, her marriage is in turmoil... Some media outlets have extensively hyped up Kate's husband, Prince William, as a "rumored lover". Various speculations have plunged the British royal family into a crisis of trust, with some speculating that Kate may "repeat the mistakes of Princess Diana.". "Kensington Palace is no longer a trustworthy source of information," the independent reported on the 15th, citing Agence France Presse's global news director, Chet Winder

"The entire UK is in turmoil"

On the 14th, Prince William mentioned his wife Kate while visiting a charity organization, calling her "very artistic.". Later that day, he stated at his mother's Diana Heritage Awards ceremony that he would work with his wife Kate to continue Diana's legacy. At the time of William's statement, Kate did not appear, and the public opinion storm caused by her disappearance became increasingly fierce. "Where is Kate?" Stephen Colbert, a famous host of the Columbia Broadcasting Company on the other side of the ocean, said on the "Evening Show" program on the 14th, "Kate seems to have disappeared, and the entire UK is in turmoil."

Kate's last public appearance was last Christmas. In January of this year, the British royal family announced that Queen Kate had undergone abdominal surgery. However, in March, she still did not make a public appearance. To quell speculation, the royal family released a photo of Kate and her three children on Mother's Day. But it was soon discovered that this photo was a composite "P image" of multiple images. The next day, "Kate's social media account" apologized for this, claiming that "she likes to try Photoshop," but she did not publicly appear. The royal family still refuses to release unedited original photos to this day. The New York Post reported, "The purpose of this photo was to quell speculation about Kate's long-term absence from public view, but it went against expectations."

Rumors and conspiracy theories are flying everywhere

According to the UK's "Pig Six" website, British comedian Oliver talked about his "amazing discovery" when discussing Kate's "P-Map" controversy on the 12th. He mocked some conspiracy theories about Kate and said, "The likelihood of Kate passing away 18 months ago is not zero."

Oliver is referring to one of the several conspiracy theories currently surrounding Kate. The New Zealand Herald reported that one theory is that Kate fell into a "coma" due to medical complications. This statement was immediately refuted by a royal figure in The Times, but it failed to stop the spread of rumors. Analysis suggests that Queen Kate, who is 42 years old, is in her prime and used to be a school athlete. She used to look very healthy. On the second day after giving birth, Kate was interviewed by reporters outdoors wearing high heels and bare legs. Why hasn't she made a public appearance so long after the surgery?

The most widely circulated rumor so far is speculation that there may be issues with the marriage between Crown Prince William and Kate. American host Colbert said in the program: "Now, Internet detectives suspect that Kate's disappearance may have something to do with the future affair of the British king... I think we all know who the so-called other woman is, the Marquis of Jomondley." Colbert referred to William's close friend Ross Humberly.

In the past two days, various small newspapers in the UK have been reporting extensively on Ross Humbery. Just search on Google or Yahoo and you'll see a bunch of media reports: "Who is Ross Humbery? What is her connection to the Queen's controversy?" "Interpreting Ross Humbery's latest controversial relationship with William and Kate." "Marquess Rose: the person behind the Queen Kate's controversy.".

According to Newsweek, Ross is the granddaughter of a close friend of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Unlike Kate, who comes from a commoner background, Ross comes from a traditional aristocratic family. Ross's great grandfather was once a Field Marshal, and her grandmother was a close friend of Elizabeth II. Ross has known William since childhood. After graduation, she became a model and married the Marquis of Jomondley in 2009. The rumor of William having an affair with Ross originated from a report in The Sun in 2019, where it was reported that Kate had a conflict with William over the matter at the time.

Faced with these conspiracy theories, the British royal family attempted to respond. In early March, a photographer captured a photo of Kate sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV, smiling and facing the camera. However, Kate wearing wide sunglasses in this photo has been questioned by many people for not being like herself, and has even sparked a "stunt double theory". As for the speculation of "extramarital affair", the Toronto Star reported, citing sources, that the British royal family denied the matter, and Kate and Ross "privately" also claimed to sue the relevant tabloids. However, these news have never been publicly acknowledged by the royal family.

Many people talk about Diana

In recent years, the image of the British royal family in the minds of the general public has been increasingly controversial. Al Jazeera once said that as ordinary people, many British people believe that the royal family is "outdated.". especially at present, the UK is facing economic difficulties, with many people living in dire straits, and the taxes paid by the people have to be used to support the luxurious lifestyle of the royal family. The Guardian also stated that monarchy is "a symbol of a country becoming more unequal.".

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, the British royal family has been facing consecutive crises. The current King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer; Kingston, known as the most handsome son-in-law of the royal family and Charles' cousin, suddenly committed suicide. Various scandals of the royal family are also tearing apart British society. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan fled the royal family and America; Prince Andrew was accused of being a guest of honor to the "sexual assault tycoon" Epstein, who committed suicide in prison, and was embroiled in the so-called "Lolita Island" sex scandal. At the same time, the commoner born Princess Kate not only faithfully fulfills her royal duties, but also always dresses elegantly and behaves appropriately in public. Her steadfast and perfect style of behavior has won the hearts of the British people. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation quoted communication expert McDonald as saying that Kate is a key figure in reshaping the image of the British royal family and has always done well, "very well in line with the image of the monarchy.".

However, many people are concerned that Kate will repeat the mistakes of Princess Diana. The title of the New York Times report on the 13th was "From Diana to Kate, Members of the Royal Family Trapped at the center of Public Opinion Storm.". The New York Times reported that for the royal family, who have stumbled and stumbled in one crisis after another, this has evolved into a completely new storm. This time it involves the most popular member of the royal family - a future queen from a commoner background. according to reports, in 1997, Princess Diana was chased by a photographer for speeding in Paris and died in a car accident. Kate has also been a victim of paparazzi. Royal historian Ed Owens said that this series of events and rumors brought tremendous destruction because it "raises doubts" about the "authenticity" of Kate's life in the royal family for the public.
