At this point, many are asking when Kate Middleton will catch the smallest of breaks, as she is battling cancer and recuperating from a major surgery and all the stress that comes with it.
While recovering from her health issues, she is being hounded for every picture and video she appears in. However, this week, the drama over the AI and manipulated videos was taken to a whole new and dirty level: Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s oldest son, Prince George, has been dragged into the scandal.
On Thursday, Prince William and Prince George were spotted, filmed by fans, and appeared on live television while they watched their favorite soccer team, Aston Villa, play.
The 10-year-old seemed to enjoy the game, for he was seen having a lively chat with his father about it. This is the first sighting of the child since the Princess of Wales announced her cancer diagnosis to the world.
Many were delighted to see the young boy, as they believe it is a sign that his mother is doing well, and her treatment is moving in the right direction.
However, social media also lit up with the loud and wild theory that Prince William and his team at Kensington Palace have produced another fake video.
Some on the wild web claimed that it was an AI version or deep fake video of the child enjoying a soccer game with his father.
Since the Mother’s Day photo drama, Middleton has found herself as the protagonist and villain in a series of unflattering stories about her family and them being master manipulators peddling fake images and videos.
Despite her apology for going overboard with the editing button, and her painful cancer announcement, theorists, on social media and megaphoto agencies have left her dealing with a brutal reality.
Getty has decided to revive the picture drama by plastering an editor’s note that reads: “(EDITOR’S NOTE: This Handout image was provided by a third-party organization and may not adhere to Getty Images’ editorial policy.) In this handout provided by Kensington Palace, Catherine, The Princess of Wales is seen in a recorded, personal video message, providing an update on her health, recorded on March 20, 2024, in Windsor and aired on March 22, 2024, in London, England.

The BBC is under fire for its excessive coverage of Middleton’s life and health issues. The Daily Mail reports: “The BBC has received more than 100 complaints over its ‘excessive and insensitive’ coverage of Kate’s cancer diagnosis, it has emerged. The Princess of Wales announced she was undergoing treatment for cancer in an emotional video on March 22. The BBC aired the full video and has hit back at criticism, saying it was ‘mindful’ of its reporting approach and did not speculate on details that had not been made public.”
As if Kate Middleton was not stressed out enough, her mother, Carole Middleton, is being dragged through the mud by multiple media outlets for her failed business venture.
According to Us Weekly: “Princess Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, is “desperately” trying to shield her from a devastating new blow to the family as she undergoes cancer treatment. Carole and her husband, Michael Middleton are facing serious debt that they are reportedly unable to pay off. According to The Times, the pair cannot come up with over $329,000 in insolvency firm costs for their embattled business, The Party Pieces Company.”
Royal supporters hope that Kate Middleton is ignoring the headlines.
