Kate Middleton’s video announcement today could have been a Deep Fake. Thoughts? She’s probably also already been whacked and now they’re fabricating the cancer story to prepare the public for her sudden death. They already released a FAKE AI AND PHOTOSHOPPED photo they admitted… pic.twitter.com/KPlQbvpLs8

Among social media users, suggestions for combating the disease emerged, with one recommending natural remedies like Anamu and Noni while urging Kate to cut out sugar from her diet. Others offered words of encouragement and solidarity, recognizing the challenge of battling cancer.
However, amidst these messages of support, some social media users expressed doubts about the authenticity of the video message. Questions were raised about the lack of movement in the background of the video, leading to speculation about the possibility of it being AI-generated or manipulated. These comments surfaced amid recent controversies surrounding Kate Middleton’s Mother’s Day photo, which she later retracted, attributing it to experimentation with photo editing.
In her apologies, the Duchess of Cambridge acknowledged the controversy surrounding the photo, stating that like many amateur photographers, she occasionally experiments with editing.
