Where is Kate Middleton? It’s the question that’s been consuming the world’s attention for weeks, but it’s a question Jimmy Kimmel wants to put to rest once and for all. During his March 21 monologue On “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the late-night host urged his viewers to “leave this woman alone” as he addressed media attention on Middleton’s whereabouts.
“We finally got a royal update on Kate Middleton,” Kimmel said, referring to what Kensington Palace representatives he told The Telegraph this week about Middleton caring for the Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood program while working from home.
“There is a very simple explanation for Kate Middleton’s whereabouts: she has been working from home,” Kimmel continued. How does a princess work from home? —Will I stay inside and greet people? Maybe it’s because I’m American but I don’t understand the craziness around this. Why do we have to know where she is? It’s not like she’s the bus driver.
Then Kimmel’s tone became a little more serious when he said, “She had an operation, she had abdominal surgery. She may have a colostomy bag and she doesn’t want everyone to see it. Oh really. People demand that she dress up and march through London so we can see her. Leave this woman alone!
Kate, whose official title is Catherine, Princess of Wales, was last seen in public in December. In January, Kensington Palace confirmed that she had undergone unspecified “abdominal surgery.” In March, the princess, who is married to Prince William, had not been seen in almost three months. With little concrete information, rumors and conspiracy theories flourished and captured the attention of media figures around the world.
The morning after Kimmel’s monologue aired, Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis took Instagram also condemn public scrutiny of Middleton’s whereabouts.
“Can we please STOP this bullshit conspiracy theory?” Curtis wrote. “This is a human being with young children and clearly this is some type of health issue. That’s a private matter. Don’t we have better things to do and more important things to think about and worry about than this? “It’s a really low point in our society when there are MANY crucial issues that need our attention.”
During a memorable episode of “Watch What Happens Live” earlier this month, host Andy Cohen asked British comedian John Oliver what everyone is thinking: “What the fuck is going on with Kate Middleton?”
“There is a non-zero probability that he died 18 months ago,” Oliver responded. “Maybe they’re on a ‘weekend at Bernie’s,’ addressing this situation. I’m not saying it happened, I’m saying it’s non-zero. Until proven otherwise, until we see it with a copy of today’s newspaper.”
