The photo debacle and Kate’s absence from public duties—which, as her rep reiterated Feb. 29, is not expected to end until after the March 31 Easter holiday—have also been the topic of late night talk show discussions and jokes.
Stephen Colbert noted on The Late Show March 12 how “the kingdom has been all a flutter by the seeming disappearance of Kate Middleton.” Also that day, John Oliver shared his thoughts about the matter on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
“I was out. I thought ‘Let’s all just ignore this, we’ve moved on,’ until the Photoshop thing,” the British-born Last Week Tonight host said. “Feels like you’re almost handling it badly in an impressive way at this point.”
John also joked, “There is a non-zero chance she died 18 months ago. They might be Weekend at Bernie‘s-ing this situation,” adding, “I’m not saying it happened! I’m saying it’s non-zero. Until proved otherwise. Until you see her with a copy of the day’s newspaper.”
