"How could Princess Kate disappear for five whole months! This is no joke, what do you royal family want?"
"This time Princess Kate came out, how did she become like this, what is so thin, isn't this an obvious stand-in!"
"There is no 'curse', don't think that if you can't see you, you won't expose it, or hurry up and call up the real Princess Kate and be responsible for the fans."
The video became an instant hit, and all kinds of remarks were loud, and Princess Kate, who was hurriedly crossing the street by the people of London, was lively for a while.
However, Princess Kate who appears in the video is regarded as a stand-in in a farce, what is the real painting style?
1. A recent photo of "Princess Kate".
In October 2020, with a video of Princess Kate, fans aroused all kinds of suspicions and secret guesses, and then there was a fan cloud "Princess Kate will 'disappear' again".
This video shows Princess Kate walking on the streets of London, crossing the street with someone walking next to her, wearing a red dress, a short dark blue jacket, a light-colored hat, and light makeup.
Sure enough, with her appearance, some fans directly identified on the spot that this was not Princess Kate at all, but her stand-in.
In fact, the scene that everyone saw was only a small part, and Princess Kate then left in a taxi.
Affected by the epidemic, people in London rarely saw traces of royals on the streets, but this appearance did not cause too many people to make a splash.
However, the stand-in theory spread unusually quickly through social networks, and everyone actively discussed what this could mean on various royal information exchange platforms, pointing out that this was a "precursor" to Princess Kate's reappearance after five months of surgery, and why Princess Kate had surgery has also become a hot topic of research.
There are several key points in the verification of this video and the author, the first is that the photo uploaded by fans of Princess Kate traveling to London in 2018 is exactly the same as the woman in the red dress in the video.
Of course, the publisher of this video blurred key parts of the video in order to "protect" Princess Kate.
But this has sparked another controversy: many fans believe that judging from the clarity of the "Princess Kate" on this video, it is entirely possible that this is her stand-in, and some people even amplify the blurring of the latter in the video to prove that the blurring is not "protecting", but "covering up".
Another key point is: although Princess Kate was exposed in this position in 2018, the time point of shooting the video was April 2019, which was about a year before the "Princess Kate" video was exposed in February, and the reason for the video shooting was that the author was in London at the time and encountered this scene more famously, so he recorded it, and at the same time, because of the harmony of many people, because Princess Kate's photo was recorded, it was uploaded to the foreign royal family information exchange platform before it was banned from dissemination, and it gradually spread. It attracted the attention of both British and foreign fans.
Another key point is: just a month before the appearance of "Princess Kate", the British "Sun" revealed the news that Princess Kate underwent surgery.
The news came from an unnamed source, the source said that the reason for the operation was that after giving birth to Prince George six years ago, Princess Kate has been in poor health after giving birth, but she wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible to meet the expectations of the royal family and Prince William, so she underwent surgery on the advice of doctors, and the operation was very successful, and she also quickly recovered her health.
Princess Kate's representative clarified the news, that is, the so-called source is not a real source, so the operation is also a conspiracy of Princess Kate.
But just after that, Princess Kate really "disappeared" and did not appear until a public event in January, but for fans, after seeing Princess Kate's "true face", it only increased their suspicions, thinking that Princess Kate should still be hiding her true situation.
Second, it is difficult to say too much.
This storm ended quickly, but everyone was "looking forward to" Princess Kate's next appearance.
In April, the fifth birthday of Princess Charlotte, who is the spiritual pillar of the British people, is also a big day for Princess Kate, because in addition to decorating the family like a fairy tale world for the children's birthday, Princess Kate also has to be a little princess, take a set of photos for the children, and take them herself.
So relying on the eldest brother Prince George and the second eldest Prince Louis, plus the husband of photographer Princess Kate, Prince William, this group of family photos with a very sense of age spread on the Internet, and fans had a heated discussion.
First of all, Princess Kate's figure, lamenting that this slimming down is a mother for several years, and then Princess Charlotte is becoming more and more like her, especially the eyes and face, as well as the handsomeness of Prince George and Prince Louis Jr.
Princess Kate's home background and the garden view outside fascinated everyone, and some fans eagerly awaited the release of the birthday photos to prove that Princess Kate did not take a stand-in at the time, and hoped that these photos would record the happy birthday of the whole family.
However, due to the impact of the epidemic, there was only one photographer in the family when the birthday photo was taken, and that was Prince William, so the birthday photo could only be released after Princess Charlotte's birthday.
When the birthday comes, all people see is a series of exterior photos, which should indeed be excluded from the beginning compared to the supposed innocent family portraits.
But this only made fans more suspicious that Princess Kate had ever "disappeared", could it be that Princess Kate was really related to the so-called surgery of The Sun?
It wasn't until May that the joy of the UK's lifting of the lockdown resurfaced in front of people's eyes when Princess Kate brought the good news of Sandton Hospital.
Princess Kate, who attended with Crown Prince William, was dressed in red that day quite formally, and the family photo just now also showed that she was her real body without retouching.
Linked to the video from two months ago, no matter how bad the blurring is, judging from these two items, this may be the true face of Princess Kate.
But it is a pity that the clarity of the flaws, the photo of Princess Kate and Prince William and the Antidote Hospital is still ridiculed by people as "The photo is blurry, is it a 'real person'?"
3. Privacy and Public Expectations.
The balance between absolute citizenship and the various "expectations" of the population has always been an important issue in the discussion of political and civic equality.
On the other hand, this also shows that the lives of royal family members are different from ordinary people: the royal family of any country is a symbolic existence, but the lives of royal family members are often public, and they do not have the right of veto.
As a result, many fans are eagerly following their lives and work, and even their travel information, and the royal family is no different from "ordinary" stars.
But occasionally some fans break the line and attack them, insult them, or spread privacy that they don't want to spread.
As soon as it appeared, the suspected "stand-in" of Princess Kate immediately sparked a heated discussion on the Internet, and everyone doubted each other whether they saw the "real Princess Kate", and at the same time hoped that Princess Kate would come out in time to clarify and prove that she did not have a "curse", but I was afraid that Princess Kate would not come out to make any statement.
In order to protect the "real Princess Kate", fans blurred the photo while releasing this video, and the fans' explanation for the blurring is to protect the "real Princess Kate", in this problem of not being able to distinguish between "real and fake", only to determine that Princess Kate will fight "stand-in" and "curse" a year later, and the hardest in between may be the fuzzy workers, although their job is "protection", but it is interpreted by people as "cover-up".
In this contradiction, Princess Kate and the fuzzy workers are not having a good time, and at the same time, fans have been waiting for another result: the "real Princess Kate" came forward in person, and the day finally came, but after two judgments, the result did not satisfy them.
But for ordinary people, fans always compare their idols to royals, and are not "love" on the surface, often leaking negative emotions in the act of attention.
As we all know, photos and videos themselves are easy to be "retouched", and social media content production is even more so, which requires Princess Kate to make her actions public, to be on par with fans, and also to be seen by people on their hard side, but for the negative emotions after such a diligent Princess Kate's public behavior, fans neither want to see nor admit it.
However, public photos or videos are often not recognized because of questioning the synthesis process, and no one thinks that this is too critical on the part of fans, but rather a "normal" questioning behavior.
In the face of such controversy, fans often decide that Princess Kate is in a "cursed" angle and decides to blur the photo, is this a bit too "manipulative"?
What do you think about the fact that the "manipulation" will be to "protect" the so-called "love" of fans?
4. How to prevent "counterfeiting"?
In fact, in the era of social media, the authenticity of photos and videos has always been a matter of great concern to people, and a photo or video that has been "retouched" can often cause people to debate fiercely, but in today's increasingly advanced technology, this problem has become more and more worrying.
The development of artificial intelligence has made it easy for us to "retouch" a photo and even easily composite a video, which has created a great sense of insecurity for our social media.
This technology, which can easily synthesize videos and photos, may cause fans to no longer believe in the authenticity of the royal family's information, but more importantly, it may bring huge imbalance and instability to various political and social events.
So what can we do to prevent this from happening?
When it comes to the authenticity of videos and photos, the most reliable is the multi-angle proof, because the background of each photo or video is relatively fixed, we can determine its authenticity through multiple angles, so as to ensure that the information we publish is true.
Moreover, the distrust of fans and the media about the royal family may cause the royal family to disclose more privacy in order to show that they are not "cursed", which we do not want to see.
In fact, the excessive attention of fans and media to celebrities can also have a negative impact on their lives and physical and mental health, and sometimes we should know public figures in moderation, and we should also let them protect their privacy in moderation.
Some commenters may engage in "fakes" in pursuit of exposure, they have the ability to synthesize real photos, which is a very dangerous behavior for this
