Amid a vacuum of information, online posts speculated whether Kate's marriage to William, heir to the British throne, was on the rocks.
Proof of life landed on Sunday, when the palace released a photograph they said was recently snapped by William, but eagle-eyed social media users began tearing it apart for inconsistencies, such as a misaligned zipper on Kate’s jacket. “The moral of the editing of the royal picture is simple. Tell all,” wrote Guardian newspaper columnist Simon Jenkins.That is exactly what happened. Social media exploded with memes exploring what the palace was hiding.
A breed of self-declared Kate Middleton Truthers demanded to know her whereabouts, while some speculated –- with a dash of humor — whether she had ditched her family to do an intensive Photoshop course. “As the royal photo fiasco shows, the deepfake age doesn’t need to be powered by generative AI — a hasty Photoshop will do.”
