Online Reactions and Conspiracy Claims
Commentary surrounding the video escalated rapidly. Some users focused on the placement and visibility of what they believed to be a scar.
“I haven’t commented on Kate Middleton’s scar because I didn’t realize how big & deep a scar it is until this video,” one person wrote, according to BoredPanda. “What happened to her? A scar on the face is one of a woman’s deepest fears.”
Another user suggested the visibility was intentional, writing, “She knows it’s visible! If she wanted to hide it a little, she could easily wear her hair differently, or she could have worn a similar hat, angled to her left instead of right. She knows what she’s doing!”
Others went further, questioning her illness altogether. “I’ve been saying all along that Kate Middleton never had cancer. It was just a story they made up to distract from the hospitalization and horrific photoshop fail. She clearly never looked like she’d been through one day cancer treatment in that video,” a third person claimed.
Comparisons With Meghan Markle
As the discussion continued, some users drew comparisons between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, accusing the British media of unequal treatment.
