The Vogue cover theory was intriguing to me for a second because it matches up really well, but then I remembered that these people—even moreso than other celebrities—have some ungodly number of hours training, and 100s of hours more of experience, that teaches them how to smile the exact same way for thousands upon thousands of photos.

I don't know, this seems like a pretty slick PR move to me. If there is something bad they are hiding, there is no way it could live up to the rando speculation that's out at this point. Barring a few corpses, this is always going to be the 'Kate Middleton is missing' story.

And if nothing has happened (more likely) then you tripped into a fun media story for literally no effort. In eight weeks when a normal healthy Princess Kate is photographed, the media will move on, a few deranged nuts will insist she got replaced by Avril Lavigne or something, and for the rest of us this will just be the Harambe story of 2024.
