Hello, no, hello, hello, hello, welcome to the naughty but nice show.

Your host, Rob Shooter, and it's Monday. Today, our friend, Garrett is off, but don't worry, we've got so much gossip to get to.

We can fill the next 20 minutes or so, my friends, if not the whole week. Okay, let's jump into the show.

What time is it? It is tea time. Okay, big story here. At the top of the show, everybody's asking,

what is going on with Kate Middleton? Where is Kate Middleton? We've not seen her, we've not heard from her. The palace

has released no photograph. She's completely disappeared. Some people are saying she's

missing in action. Well, where is she? Now on Friday, the palace addressed this

sort of by saying they're not talking about it. When Kate initially went into hospital to have

her surgery, they said that she wouldn't be returning to public duty until after Easter.

So we have to wait another three, four weeks

at least until we see her or even hear from her because they're not going to give us any updates.

They made that clear on Friday. They said, stop asking, stop calling, stop emailing. We're not

talking about it. Kate wants this to be private,

and we're not going to talk about it well. Because of that, that void that they've created.

But what I find fascinating about all this is that Kate and the royal family are managing to keep

this a secret. How are they doing that? Well, insiders tell me only a very

small bubble of people know. Only a handful, maybe less, people know what is actually going on.

So friends suggest that the press's interest in Kate and the public's interest is toxic

and that William is determined to stick by their decision to protect Kate's privacy as she recovers.

Other royal members of the family have emphasised that their objective is sequestering Kate to safeguard her privacy.

And they've done a really good job of this. She practically has disappeared.

They dismiss the idea that the palace should give updates. So we've talked about that on our show.
