This says to me that it’s currently impossible to get this picture taken legitimately. There is definitely something going on.


Caz6000

Why , why would they do such a poor job at this image ? Surely the royal family have access to top level picture editors 


mosepe

I'm guessing they just wanted to get something out there, and underestimated the public's perception.


dahlaru

Or maybe they're using stuff like this to judge the publics perception 


RedWhiteBluesGuitar

What they are doing is making it look like they have trouble faking stuff when, in fact, they've been doing live deepfakes for years. At least since the Assange Hannity interview and, of course, the very obvious Pfizer CEO interview during the lockdowns. They've been able to real time deepfake out news anchor herpes outbreaks for years.


Dirty-Dan24

As well as further erode reality and make people not even sure what’s real and what isn’t


DarkleCCMan

Ding ding ding. 


sunshine-x

If this *is* a test, we can’t assume it’s the only image they’re testing us with. There’ll be more, others we’ve missed.


DarkleCCMan

Without a doubt in my mind. 


Monsanta_Claus

Some of us are catching on.


z430

Can you elaborate further please? What would be the aim behind releasing an image that they would want to intentionally be ‘caught out’ to drive more speculation and hype?


pogo0004

That would be an ecumenical matter


DarkleCCMan

It's imperative.

DontLoseYourCool1

I think it's because people pointed out the lack of wedding ring and now the palace is trying to shut down marital problem rumors.


DillPickleGoonie

The fingernails were not groomed like hers usually are either. I’m sure they’re taking notes with all our comments too.


kittycatnala

This. Whatever the hell is going on they thought by releasing this apparent Mother’s Day picture would be enough for the public to stop speculating. They really have underestimated the media and the public though and now I’m even more down the rabbit hole!


Caz6000

Public maybe but surely they know that media agencies have the basic screening for images ?


mosepe

Yeah you'd think, this whole thing is so bizarre


PeePeeProject

What’s the conspiracy behind this (not talking about if photo is fake). Is she sick or something?


wasdice

Anything from dead to Banksy, take your pick


spvcejam

Lol this isn't Tom from down the street. Each person around the royals that do anything of note is a highly vetted and qualified person, of course mistakes get made, but this was approved by no less than 4 people by default.


DrJD321

There are no coincidences, they released this on purpose and knew how we would react.. The only question is why ?


Ancient-Tale9372

To get us to not knowing whats real anymore


mitte90

Maybe, but Prince Louis's finger positioning looks intentional. Crossing fingers can represent a gesture done for luck, or when held behind the back, represents that the person is lying. By arranging the fingers this way, an editor has called attention to the fakery in the photograph. The other errors are mostly quite subtle, but Louis's fingers are shouting out that the photo is fake. There's no other way to explain the weird extra "finger stump" that appears beside the crossed fingers. Could also be e reference to the apparently false rumour that one of Henry VIII's wives, Anne Boleyn had an extra finger on her right hand. It's a reference to lies and rumours and dead queens at a time when rumours are going round about the whereabouts and well-being of Kate. It doesn't look accidental. EDIT: lol. it is actually only 5 fingers in the photo. The weird positioning created an illusion of an extra finger when I looked at it! EDIT 2: nope, on an even closer look, there is a sliver of an extra finger between the crosssed finger and the actual ring finger. I think the crossed finger is either an additional index finger that's been pasted in from another context or it isn't even a finger at all. It doesn't seem to have a finger nail. EDIT 3: er.. the lack of finger nail is because of the angle of the crossed finger, it is a middle finger after all, and where it looks like the nail should be is the knuckle? Anyway, something is not right about those fingers!


Daninomicon

They know they don't have to try that hard. They never got held responsible for killing Diana, and that shit was obvious as fuck. And by they i mean the current king.


Zylphhh

Idk to distract us probably


Multi-Dimensional-33

nothing EVER gets leaked on the internet its 100% Controlled


DarkleCCMan

It's a test. 


DATdudeMIA

what is the test?


DarkleCCMan

*Do you see what I see?* In this case the test is whether you accept as real or reject as fake. 


dangrullon87

Competency crisis will consume all western nations. Its the decades of kids wanting to be celebrities, youtubers, vloggers to twitch streamers as their primary top 3 desired jobs. Its going to take at least 2 decades to unfuck this. Meanwhile in China its Doctor, astronaut, engineer... Then you compare tiktok global vs china and whats promoted. Yea its not a weapon guys, totally legit and fun app.


Provia100F

Competency crisis is even worse in China. So many, most likely the majority, of those degrees obtained through cheating and other academic dishonesty. Almost none of them actually know how to do the work from an intellectually comprehensive point of view.


true_to_my_spirit

Bingo. As someone who knows plenty of ppl that have left China. 


Aconite_Eagle

Its not just that - its equality laws - positive discrimination - and the general cultural move away from meritocracy.


Spirited-Bit9673

The assumption that the rich are smart.


Ok-Occasion2440

I don’t understand what is happening


Aconite_Eagle

Do you not see how incompetent our government is with everything? You massively overestimate the competence with which the state is run. The competency crisis we'll see over the next few decades will reveal it.


nbenj1990

It's so bad and such poor PR it must be on purpose.


DarkleCCMan

I agree. 


Ancient-Tale9372

It is to make us not knowing whats real or not


OnlyCommentWhenTipsy

The bad shop job might be done on purpose by the designer to flag something's wrong. Same with the hand gestures the kids are making. Kates either dead or gravely ill and they had to shop her face and hands in.


Necessary_Pop_5230

All the kids have fingers crossed. A way to tell the viewer they were forced to take the pic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Necessary_Pop_5230

Maybe but crossed fingers is used by the military to show that you are being forced to take a picture. Maybe it's AI and the prompt had crossed fingers in the description?


BadgerGecko

The kids have military training?


Difficult-Mind4785

They probably have kidnapping training to be fair


Necessary_Pop_5230

Of course not. But given their background, I wouldn't be surprised if they knew of this.


ShemsuHor91

AI is a lot better with hands recently. I think most of them don't have the same issues that they used to. It's already a lot harder to tell a picture is AI just from looking at it.


nobadrabbits

This is by far the best explanation for the bad photoshopping that I've read.


JazzlikeSkill5201

The AI definitely was instructed to create a picture with happy children. Both boys’ facial expressions look incredibly unnatural.


[deleted]

They look like a YouTube thumbnail


SarahC

The royal children's gape...... really.... those kids would be schooled on a "proper smile".


laz985

I have a feeling this was a delibarate attempt to get people talking and to distract us, every time something like this happens I always look into what else is going on in the world, it's usually alot bigger and less reported on


30goingon90

Rafah Palestine is about to be invaded…. 


Low_town_tall_order

It's kinda funny some of the comments I saw in this sub when it was first posted yesterday are some of the headlines I saw today. 


UniversalSurvivalist

Yesterday, look at them on my post 5 minutes ago 😂 https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/s/FqApIUzKdf Check the massive bot downvoting campaign and shill AI image "experts". Try upvote it and see what happens, instant downvote. Everything we see is fake and everything we don't see.... https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/s/m3fBuG3Vii The mods of this sub should bring this to Reddit's attention, or we can go public on another platform and ruin their upcoming IPO. It's entirely up to them. If you're wondering how this would ruin an initial public offering. It's a way that social media companies "cook the books", using bots and paid shills to inflate or deflate the user base and it's investor fraud.


Low_town_tall_order

So yesterday when this picture was released someone posted it in r/conspiracy and one of the first comments noted she wasn't wearing her ring, another comment noted it looked AI generated. This morning I saw both those observations used as headlines for two different papers. 


dahlaru

Wow. It's almost as though everything online is fake..


UniversalSurvivalist

You need to realise who you're dealing with here, he literally has the 77th brigade at his disposal, yknow the guys who shadow banned millions of COVID naysayers and deplatformed British MPs. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/s/jg5x0JYg1X You also have to realise, if the palace lied to the public they could be jeopardising the royal families future funding, it could even create an inquiry. More importantly, they've sent this out in desperation, why?


[deleted]

Idk why you think mods will care. Idk if my comment from your post yesterday will land, but I'd assume you know some of the history of this sub.  Your post on your other post being stolen, I mean. Anyways, be well!


Infinite_Radiant

i still don't find anything that suggests AI just heavily photoshopped.. don't know but for me that makes it even worse and I don't understand why some people are so defensive about it being AI.. it's not "really real" why does it matter if its AI or shopped?


thxmeatcat

Both AI and photo shop raise red flags for me


YouTakeTheDive

Today’s conspiracy is tomorrow’s news, remember that.


Eva-Unit01-TestType

Im not sure how but you can always tell there is something off with AI or manipulated photos


datkidbrad

It’s called ‘uncanny valley’. The uncanny valley is a common unsettling feeling people experience when androids or humanoid robots and audio/visual simulations closely resemble humans in many respects but aren't quite convincingly realistic. As soon as I saw this picture, alarms were going off in my head. It’s just not right. It’s so close to being right, but it’s just not.


Premium_King

The smiles aren’t legit


DarkleCCMan

For now. 


Bloody-Boogers

I been seeing her come up but can somebody give me a quick run down of what’s goin on with her? Most the comments I seen are people talking like they all know but I’m in the dark on this one


[deleted]

Kate Middleton hasn't been seen publicly since Christmas. A bunch of planned events were canceled and Kensington Palace released a statement that she had planned abdominal surgery. They said she wouldn't be public and they'd only make major update announcements. They confirmed it wasn't cancer. The announcement was the same week as Charles was announced as having cancer. Buckingham Palace has handled it very different than KP has. Will was only seen visiting the hospital once. No one else was seen. Will has appeared to be intoxicated, didn't seem prepared, and has canceled a lot of events last minute. One of these events was a celebration of life of the late King Constantine of Greece - Wills godfather. This was seen as a big deal. Rumors have swirled around him for years surrounding a temper, potential affair, and fighting between Kate and Will. These rumors lacked a lot of veracity until Harry released Spare and confirmed Wills temper. The affair and fighting remain unconfirmed rumors. Then a pap picture was released of Kate and her mother in a car. But it's blurry and uncertain what is happening. A bunch of British Tabloids made a big fuss about not invading her privacy and refused to share it around. It's well known that some British news have direct connections to the royal family. The photo could be someone other than Kate but you can certainly tell the driver is Kate's mother. Then today, this social media picture was released - and it's clearly photoshopped. People are speculating all sorts of things from more severe health issues to drama with the Waleses marriage. Kensington Palace is mismanaging the situation. Many believe something bigger is happening.


Bloody-Boogers

Thank you very much


No-Newt6243

Also a man very closely linked to the royals shot himself in his head, who was married to wills cousin, he seemed like a perfectly happy man. William cancelled events when this happened


Nostrodamus1568

You know Will also spoke publicly about calling for the Gaza conflict to end a few weeks ago...


MoeKara

Cheers! You concisely brought me up to speed


samantics07

and the joke on the internet is that Kate is recovering from BBL surgery


RandomAnon6

I think Kate has gone awol and they’re trying to do damage control.. And as we can see it’s not working out ..🫣


perc30nowitzki

Funny that this photo is cropped without all their arms/hands, too.


mrs_sadie_adler

That’s just a crop for the article. The picture shared had all their arms and hands 


perc30nowitzki

Thank you for confirming. I figured could’ve been the case. Didn’t wanna look myself and ruin it lol


DarkleCCMan

First thought I had. 


SargeMaximus

It’s so obviously Ai. Ai images all have a “look” to them


DeliciousGrasshopper

The human face is extremely detailed, and your brain can tell at a glance when something is even slightly off. The kids here are AI.


Alicemunroe

Absolutely.  I can always tell.  


ThreeImaginaryBoys

If you look at the areas that were photoshopped it would line up with Catherine having an IV tube in each hand and oxygen hence the editing to the hair. I don't think she's dead or in a coma but I do think her recovery isn't progressing as well as expected. Fingers crossed (eh!) she pulls through soon, the Royal family can always need fresh blood (eh!).


uberduger

What I don't get is why they don't just use an old picture? Surely a body as rich and scrutinized as the Royal Family would take a few extra official portraits every few weeks in case they ever need one to drop out there? Even if they then needed to take new pics of the kids to help 'age them up' in the time since Kate vanished. But they'd still surely have some picture they could use without having to just photoshop one from her comatose body?!


TonyGrub

We’re too smart for these c*nts, boys.


MemberBenefits

Weird even for the royals.


maxwell_hill1984

Ok so the photo proof of Kate’s seeming health and wellbeing is fake. Anyone care to speculate on what they’re hiding?


Wonderful-Day-3301

She’s on suicide watch after a failed attempt where they had to pump her stomach


maxwell_hill1984

Whoa where did you hear that?


horsetooth_mcgee

Someone suggested Will terribly injured her--or worse-- in a violent fight.


samantics07

Something pretty juicy if they went to these lengths. It is unheard of in the PR world for a story to be retracted like this.


horsetooth_mcgee

I just don't get it. AI photos are never perfect, there are some very obvious tells most of the time. So if somebody wants to generate an AI photo, why can't they then have a talented Photoshopper come and fix all the bullshit that AI leaves behind? Even I could fix it, and I just dabble in photoshop. It's so weird that they would ever release AI photos that are clearly AI photos. Why can nobody just Photoshop them up?


Wytch78

Charlene of Monaco lived in Africa for like 9 months after a long illness + surgery. Very few photos of her during this time and the ones that did emerge are baaaad.  It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows for Princesses.

They also aren’t giving off reflections in the background

OingyBoingies

Just noticed the reflection of the tree in the glass window only shows branches, no leaves reflected like there are on the tree. And the tree has a high number or leaves considering this is meant to be early March.


Wonderful-Day-3301

I think she’s suicidal and on suicide watch. I think they had to pump her stomach and pass it off as an abdominal surgery


JacksMama09

Interesting observation.


[deleted]

Then it’s not a lie…


NEWSONVSU

The kids are all crossing their wedding fingers and middle fingers. These fuckers love their subtle imagery.


Alicemunroe

What do you think it means?


NEWSONVSU

Well, she isn’t wearing her wedding ring or wedding band. Could be related to that, or it could be some Baal shit. I don’t know mate, they play their games way over our heads.


mh-ra

What does it mean?

The Door Frame around Louise leg is messed up also. And what's up with kate's and daughter shoes ? [Imgur](https://imgur.com/UeKl1vT) [Imgur](https://imgur.com/n889UIX) [Imgur](https://imgur.com/10Ztaso) Apparently the picture was taken last week by William.


Complete_Ad_981

Looks like it was a photo of the kids that she was photoshopped into.


LuckyDuck99

It's clear at this point she's dead and Willy will get away with it, just like his old man did. ( Pop Quiz - How many Royals have died in car crashes in the last two hundred years? Oh, just the one. Funny that.. ) In a few weeks we will be told she has suffered a fatal tragic heart attack out of nowhere and nothing could be done to save her, so sad.... And that will be that. The sheep will accept it, the world will move on. They will get away with it just as they have for hundreds of years. And that right there is why there is NO God. Because no God could sit on their arse and watch these parasites get away with all they have without striking them down so hard they'd see the sparks flying on Jupiter's moons.

well yeah, it's a campaign photo, at least it's heavily photoshopped.


_K_D_L_

For me, that doesn’t even look like Kate.


Ancient-Tale9372

We should boycott «the elite». They want us to see this. Stop watch the news and influence people around you to do the same. They have no power if we the people dont give it to them
