Food Critic Jay Rayner Debunks Royal Announcement Rumours on Social Media

Food critic and TV personality Jay Rayner has taken to social media to address swirling rumours regarding a potential major announcement from the Royal Family.

Speculation arose following a viral post on , suggesting a forthcoming significant revelation from the Royal Family within the next 72 hours.

However, with no substantiated evidence provided in the post, TV critic and broadcaster Scott Bryan dismissed the claims, stating, “I have not heard a thing from anyone.”

Jay Rayner chimed in, affirming that the rumours were baseless, adding, “Because it’s not true. (I checked).”

Rayner, known for his appearances as a critic on the popular TV show MasterChef alongside food writer Tom Parker Bowles, who happens to be the son of Queen Camilla, further emphasized the lack of validity in the circulating speculations.

The ongoing buzz around the health status of the Princess of Wales has been a topic of public interest, particularly as she remains out of the public eye post undergoing a medical procedure.

Kate Middleton underwent the said procedure at the London Clinic on January 16, with details of her condition being kept confidential.

After nearly a two-week hospital stay, Kate was discharged on January 29 and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, where she continues her recovery under privacy.

The Princess of Wales’ return to official duties is anticipated post her recovery, with no official confirmation on her current health condition.

Recent conjecture soared following an incident where a family photograph shared by Kensington Palace on Mother's Day sparked controversy.

The image was later retracted by international picture agencies, including the UK’s PA News Agency, over concerns of manipulation.

In response, the Princess of Wales issued a statement on social media, expressing regret for any confusion caused by the photograph manipulation, clarifying her intentions as those of an amateur photographer experimenting with editing techniques.
