It has now been over 60 days since Kate Middleton was last seen in public, and concerns are growing over her prolonged absence. Usually very visible in her royal duties, the Duchess of Cambridge has not attended any public events or been photographed since early August. While Kensington Palace has claimed she is resting after undergoing abdominal surgery, many questions remain unanswered regarding her condition and whereabouts.

Prince William, on the other hand, has barely been seen either over the past two months. When he has made brief public appearances, he has appeared bleary eyed, disheveled and uneasy. Rumors are swirling that the Prince has been dealing with emotional turmoil through excessive drinking during his wife's mysterious absence. Most recently, William pulled out last minute from his late godfather's memorial service, insisting it had nothing to do with the death. However, William's erratic behavior and lack of transparency is only fueling more speculation about what is really going on behind palace walls.

The lack of communication or updates from Kensington Palace and the Cambridges' inner circle regarding Kate's wellbeing has raised red flags. If she merely underwent surgery as reported, why have there been no new photos of her recovery? Why did the palace give vague details about her purportedly travelling to Norfolk for rest but not state whether she had returned home? Where is Kate Middleton and what is really happening? The royal family's notorious secrecy is heightening public concern over her two month disappearance from view.
International and British media outlets are now taking notice and demanding answers. An increasing number of people have taken to social media to ask #WhereIsKateMiddleton. Some have even reported Kate as a missing person to the local police force in Norfolk, but the police dismissively told inquirers to stop doing so, further fueling suspicion that more is amiss than the official story suggests. The crisis is exposing cracks in the House of Windsor's rigidly controlled public image.

Even Royal commentators like Tessa Dunlop, who have ardently defended William for years, are backtracking on their praise. In a telling exchange on Good Morning Britain, Dunlop admitted that boosting William to an "untouchable pedestal" while ostracizing Harry and Meghan has created complacency in the reckless Prince. "When I listened to this I was like, the chickens have come home to roost, haven't they?" remarked one Royal watcher. "These are the same people who propped up William and made Harry his scapegoat...Now they regret it."

Through selective promotion of one brother over the other, the British establishment warped public perception and inflated William's ego without accountability. Harry dutifully absorbed criticism for years so that William could avoid hard questions. Now isolated without Harry as buffer, William's true dysfunctional nature is plain to see. Panicked and unraveling under pressure, the future king appears dangerously unprepared for the job ahead. How will he lead without coddling?

The Cambridges' dramas come as other Royals like Prince Andrew and the controversies around colonization threaten the monarchy's moral authority. Reigniting longstanding jealousies between the brothers in their absence, William appears spitefully reactive against Harry and unable to summon composure in times of personal crisis. While Sussex fans wish the Sussexes were "nowhere near that hellhole" of toxicity, their very existence exerted some stabilizing influence on the unstable situations unfolding across the pond.

Though dismissive of public concern so far, the disappearance of a senior royal for weeks cannot be ignored indefinitely. As international headlines question "What is Going on with the Royals?", the family will struggle to maintain omertà as skepticism builds. With searching questions trends on social media and Kate reported missing despite police denial, the story raises valid fears until credible answers emerge on her health and safety. The unravelling of illusions surrounding Prince William exposes deep dysfunction that will challenge the future of the British monarchy if left unaddressed. Questions over Kate's fate could prove a tipping point for transparency and reforms within the secretive royal institution. The world watches and waits for definitive information on #WhereIsKateMiddleton.
