Writers of The Crown, Middleton makes it easy for you

opinion

It’s not Kate Middleton. This is the conclusion that has been reached on social networks after the appearance of images of the future Queen of England going to buy fruit and after a great uproar caused by her state of health. Since it was announced that he had undergone abdominal surgery, a list of facts managed with little transparency have put Kensington Palace on the ropes. This has caused him to become the most wanted person on the planet. In fact, I would dare to say that it is easier to find Rosalía walking around La Morera de Manresa – owned by her ex-partner and where she rarely wants to spend time – than the publication of a photo in good resolution of the Princess of Wales.

Distrust towards the Royal House

The lack of transparency with Middleton’s condition – also applicable to the king and his unknown cancer – has caused a strong distrust of the Royal House. And the last video, far from stopping the criticism, was the last straw.

Doubts about the images

The first element that has dented the credibility of these images, published by The Sun and TMZ, has been their quality. Although Kensington has confirmed to the BBC that it is the princess who appears, on social networks and, especially on Twitter and TikTok, the video provokes strong skepticism. The conspirators claim that the resolution of the images is very low for having been taken by a media outlet – although it could have been taken by a reader.

Replacement theories

There are also theories, that after passing the images through an Artificial Intelligence system that improves the quality of any image, ensure that whoever went out with Prince William is a double. Amateur researchers also point out that Middleton’s alleged surrogate is taller than the princess.

Crisis management

The images appeared in the press on the same day that social media went crazy with the queen of conspiracy theories. They declared that the Princess of Wales had died, spread photos of flags at half-mast and even warned that the BBC had changed its logo to black, when it had always been that way.

conclusion

All this proves two things. The first, the disastrous management of a crisis by the British Royal House. In the event that the buying images were agreed to dispel rumors, it was clear that their quality would generate speculation, especially after the confirmed manipulation of the Middleton family photo released by the institution a few weeks ago. If they did not want to be published, again, error due to lack of explanation. Either way, we hope the director of The Crown changes his mind and considers adding a new season to Netflix’s most viral series about the British royal family.
