There could be a few reasons Kate Middleton or the palace opted not to spend much time on her video, produced by BBC Studios. We know she may have wanted to shut down conspiracy theories quickly, which, as Chris Flook pointed out to us, is supported by the fact Kate appeared to read from a prompter, likely to reduce the need for multiple takes.
The clip’s simpler (and therefore quicker) production may also be down to its personal nature and desire for it to feel intimate and authentic. And Flook believes BBC Studios purposefully didn’t keep cutting in and out for that reason. He noted that the only editing appears to be on the audio, as Kate didn’t stop filming during moments that affected the sound, such as when a plane flew past. “The fact they went with a recording that had plane noise bad enough for a filter indicates, to me, limited time,” he explained.
But for those suggesting Kate may have filmed in front of a green screen, Flook is firmly shutting that speculation down. “There’s no indication that it was recorded anywhere other than outside on a beautiful sunny spring evening or morning,” he said. He also highlighted the elements that point to an authentic setting, including the movement of insects and the greenery within the frame. “We can also clearly see the sun coming in and out from behind the clouds. The resulting exchange of shadow and sunlight matches across the entire shot,” Flook explained.
