“It can’t be Kate! That’s her doppelgänger!”

The first video I saw on social media this morning was about the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.

That video showed an amateur investigator promoting a false conspiracy theory claiming that the last circulating photo of the Princess of Wales in a farm shop near Windsor with her husband – which was published by the British newspaper The Sun last Monday – is in fact of a woman similar to Middleton.

There is no evidence to suggest that this speculation is correct, but it is the latest example of false conspiracy theories spreading on social media about Kate Middleton’s health.
