Despite publicly announcing the reason behind her disappearances, it seems Kate Middleton isn’t escaping the conspiracy theories anytime soon. After the Princess of Wales came out to emotionally announce that she has been going through cancer treatments, citizens have now found a new thing to point at, elongating the months old assumptions over her health and condition.
As she stays out of public eye, and wild theories about her continues to float. This time, it’s a debate over the authenticity of her cancer announcement video.
Is Kate Middleton’s Cancer Announcement Video Made With AI?
Nothing seems to be stopping the general public from making further speculations on Kate Middleton’s condition, as they continue to probe further on the issue, even as she herself posted a video talking about her cancer diagnosis.

Social media users are now conspiring that the video is a deepfake; as in Artificial Intelligence generated.
I am genuinely concerned that people think that Kate cancer video is real. It is the most AI deepfake I have ever seen. The way the ring disappears. And the way her mouth moves isn't even natural – it looks so robotic it's ridiculous. She's long gone😰

Users also found a similar attire the Princess wore, with the exact same hairstyle, but eight years ago.
Nice jumper kate.

8 years old. Seems strange for the future queen to be wearing the same jumper 8 years on.
Does anyone if AI can deepfake videos?!
But what reason would there be to fake it?! #kate#freekate #PrincessCatherine #fakevideo pic.twitter.com/Kt4s89lnMh
Another user brought attention to how the Palace has used AI pictures before.
I noticed that nothing in the background is moving. Not a single flower or tree branch sways in the wind. I'm also now noticing that her face up close has that dreamy AI look. A sound engineer just remarked how this quality of audio could only be achieved in a closed studio.

More speculations arose as viewers found differences between Kate’s facial features and that of the video.
checked alot of pics of Kate, the video is not of Kate, eyebrows,nose, teeth,hairline not the same at all,her mole is missing, why the obvious fakes ? These are all things that go wrong on deepfake videos, plus why did she say she having chemo and news arent. pic.twitter.com/7oAykXBH4u

I think the Kate announcement didn't sound like her, she doesn't dress like that as well. This video has shades of a DEEP FAKE.

What Did Kate Middleton Say In The Video?
In the video posted by the Prince and Princess of Wales across their social media platforms, Kate lays out all the details about her cancer diagnosis; not revealing, however, what kind of cancer she has.
She starts the video by saying, “I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally, for all the messages of support and for your understanding while I’ve been recovering from surgery. It’s been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team that has been taking care of me for which I am so grateful” followed by the announcement that doctors have detected cancer in her body.
She then gives a nod towards her husband William, who has been dodging cheating allegations lately, saying, “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too, as is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both. We hope that you understand, that as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I compete my treatment.”
She ends the video saying, “My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able. But for now I must focus on making a full recovery. At this time, I’m also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not loose faith or hope.”
