The 'disappearing' ring in Kate Middleton's cancer video has sparked new conspiracy theories.

There is controversy online about the authenticity of the video in which Kate Middleton announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer. People have questioned its authenticity because a large ring appears and disappears on Kate's hand as she gestures.

Kate Middleton has been missing from the public eye since Christmas: it was officially announced that she had undergone abdominal surgery, after which 42-year-old Kate Middleton will face a period of rehabilitation until Easter. Then a photograph of the princess with her children was published, in which attentive users found signs of Photoshop. The Princess of Wales had to publicly apologize, but things didn’t get any better: new versions arose online about what was really happening to the Princess of Wales.

To put an end to the wave of rumors, Kate had to publicly talk about her illness and record a video, but the video only aroused suspicion: due to the fact that several years ago Kate had already filmed in the same place and in the same clothes, a theory was born that the video made using artificial intelligence. Now another claim to the video is spreading on social networks: according to this theory, Kate Middleton's ring appears and disappears in the frame. Opinions are divided, some consider this further evidence that the British royal family is hiding something, others note that this is simply an optical illusion.

The conspiracy theory is further fueled by other videos leaked to British tabloids. In them, Kate Middleton, accompanied by Prince William, allegedly visited a farm store near their residence. It quickly became clear that there were some oddities in the video - the princess looked too cheerful, and the trading post looked outdated.

It should be noted that the diagnosis of the Princess of Wales is being actively discussed in the British press. Some sources claim that she had her uterus removed and is now being treated for colon cancer. Versions with plastic surgery were also discussed, after which the princess fell into a coma. Others suspected that Kate Middleton’s “disappearance” was not related to illness, but to Prince William’s infidelities—he was credited with an affair with aristocrat Rose Hanbury. These rumors were born due to the long absence of an official version of the palace and the complete absence of the Princess of Wales in public.

Let us remind you that this is not the only case of diagnosed cancer in the British royal family. King Charles is currently undergoing treatment, and Prince Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson is also battling cancer.
