Kate middleton or lookalike? Rumoe buzz after AI image speculation

ALBAWABA - Today, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, attended Trooping the Colour, her first public appearance since her March cancer diagnosis. The 42-year-old princess traveled to the ceremony with Prince William, Prince George, and Prince Louis. 

The photos showed Princess Kate sitting by a vehicle window with 10-year-old Prince George between her and Prince William. Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, were also there but not photographed.

After Kate Middleton's strong appearance, rumors began swirling that the woman seen today wasn't actually Kate Middleton but her look-alike. Some activists even speculated that Kate might not be alive. However, these speculations stemmed from minor differences in Kate's facial features, weight loss, and hair condition.

On the other hand, chemotherapy for cancer often causes weight loss and pallor, so minor changes in Kate's appearance months after treatment are expected. Regarding her hair, most believe she wore a wig at the event.

Controversy erupts over Kate Middleton's social media photo

In a recent announcement via the royal family's official account, Princess Kate Middleton revealed her upcoming public appearance after months of cancer treatment. However, the accompanying photo posted in a garden setting sparked debate among social media users regarding its authenticity, with many questioning if it was generated by artificial intelligence or a traditional photograph.

Concerned Citizen, a prominent Twitter user, humorously commented, "Today the British Princess Kate Middleton posted a picture of herself…..Apparently," reflecting widespread skepticism online. This skepticism was further fueled by results from the "Is It AI" website, where users attempted to verify the image's origin, leading to mixed conclusions.
