There is a request, submitted by Catfurball, for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Misplaced Pages.

The rationale behind the request is: "Important".

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Mariella Moon (20 March 2024). "Getty flags another British royal family photo for being digitally altered". Engadget. Retrieved 21 March 2024. The princess' absence from public events since Christmas last year has, as you might have expected, spawned all kinds of conspiracy theories. It even gave rise to a whole Misplaced Pages article entitled "Where is Kate?" because people around the world are apparently that invested in the British monarchy and can't quite believe that she'd undergone abdominal surgery.

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Catherine, Princess of Wales was copied or moved into WP:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) with this edit on 5 April 2024. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
