Pippa got a little good press for a charity run, which sadly reminds me of how equally athletic Kate used to be, that is before she fulfilled Carole's dream by finally marrying William.

Pic 3 source (Kate playing tennis vs Roger Federer in the summer of 2023, the year that ended with that fateful Christmas at Sandringham, and which kicked off Kate's disappearance for nearly half of 2024:

Pic 4 source, which claims but shows no actual photos or videos of Kate actually playing this "lighter but more strategic" tennis-like game, called "padel":
Pic 5 source, from 2021, still looking toned and healthy, albeit much thinner than before she married William:

Pic 6 is the top result from a Google Image search for 2026 Kate pics -- the gauntness is jarring. I specified Getty photos because it's a professional photo agency with a reputation for selling unaltered photos to other media outlets. It was one of the agencies, along with the Associated Press, which did not publish the infamous Mother's Day 2024 pic that was so clumsily photoshopped that it kicked off the "KATE IS MISSING" situation into global mainstream media.
Anyway, although by now I do not doubt that Kate is a pick-me and an emotionally stunted mean girl, just like Mama Carole Middleton, I can't help but feel for her and the golden handcuffs she eagerly accepted to please her mother, who'd literally trained her to be a royal Stepford wife. I wouldn't wish an ED and the royal in-laws she has fueling her ED spiral on my worst enemy.
