Netizens came up with theories and even questioned why leaves and grass were not moving in the background when Kate was talking about her cancer in the video.
The AFP news agency reported that some social media users also posted a slowed-down version of the video, saying that it was “digitally manipulated” however, these claims have not been officially verified.
While one user wrote, “Is this real or AI generated? Watch the background?” another commented, “‘Kate gate’ has me intrigued; the alleged photo manipulation, supposedly faking a family photo with Kate Middleton’s head coming from a vogue cover.
