Beyond Kensington Palace’s actions, some royal fans have taken offense to how the royal family has behaved while Princess Kate battles cancer. One X user wrote: “Over the past 3 months, royals/family were living their best lives: skiing, holidaying — parading in bikinis on front pages, going to CBB, going to horse races & to the F1 abroad, even one with breast cancer, a queen, whose husband has cancer, went on holiday.” Others took umbrage at Prince William’s absence from Kate Middleton’s video as well as his appearance at social events in the midst of Kate’s struggles.
Some users even doubt the authenticity of Kate’s video, suggesting that it could be another AI-generated deepfake. One popular conspiracy even suggests that the entire revelation could be a PR strategy to make royal fans feel bad for the criticism that has been thrown Kate’s way recently. “They want us to feel terrible. They want us to spend the next few days hating on each other for the memes and the speculation. Don’t fall for it,” one X user posted, generating hundreds of likes.
