The new video of “Kate Middleton” has a lot of issues.
First, the background is frozen. It’s a still image, not video. Look closely. It’s utterly motionless. On a spring day with the air seemingly not moving AT ALL, you’d see the leaves trembling and the spring-loaded daffodils bobbing around a bit. But no, it’s deadly still. Because it’s a still image. It’s fake.
How would I know that? As someone who worked in high end photography and cinematography my whole life (what is now known as “image acquisition”). My specialty was lighting. We had to make everything look good, and real, and flattering, and also keep an eye on the hair and makeup of the “talent.” I had to have what is called “a good eye” to do this. I’ve had a weirdly “good eye” my entire life, evidenced at a very young age when I began to draw. I was immediately branded as “gifted” because of this. I’m not saying this to brag, but to make it clear that, for better or worse, I’m not normal. I see things most people don’t see.
There are inconsistent sun reflections on the ends of the bench. One is quite bright and specular, the other (viewer left) is very dulled down. The bench wasn’t shot outside, and the “sunlight” on the bench is not from the sun but an artificial light in a studio, so the rays of the “sun” aren’t parallel, thus the inconsistent angle of reflection.
It appears that they couldn’t get the digital “shadow” of her arm and shoulder right, on the back of the bench, so they added an even worse digital “reflection” of the stripes in her sweater, which actually makes things way worse rather than breaking up the failed “shadow.” It’s actually a terrible and obvious flaw. The bench isn’t shiny enough to justify such a “reflection.” It’s just WEIRD that they thought they could get away with this.
There’s also something amiss with the part in her hair atop her head. It’s a little too geometric, too deep, the reflection from the “sun” a little too bright for the “sun” on the rest of her head and face.
And perhaps they chose a still image for the background to help sell the illusion that she is outside in a world where her long, free hair doesn’t move. At all. That simply doesn’t happen shooting outdoors. I worked on professional film shoots of all kinds my entire adult life, and shooting outdoors, hair like hers is gonna have some kind of motion from the outdoor air movement, however small, like the leaves on the trees would at least tremble. Her hair only moves with the movement of her head.
This video isn’t any more convincing than that fake still image they released of her earlier.
Keep in mind that far as a person’s face and voice, they can do deep fakes now that are 99.99% believable.
Twenty-five years ago they publicly admitted the “government” could deep-fake a persons voice, and released that info through a story in the Washington Post (link below).
They can now do the same thing with faces.
So this new video does absolutely nothing to clear up the mystery, but it seems to have satisfied a great many people who have viewed it. Which is strange. Why is that strange? Well, because people should know better by now. But I always expect too much out of people and they always disappoint.
Now, here, to me, is the strangest thing about these releases of imagery:
The people who made this video, presumably the same people who released what was clearly a photoshopped composite of “Kate” and her kids, SHOULD have access to the absolute best and state-of-the-art digital fakery in the world. So why are they releasing imagery that is so flawed and subpar that it’s as either a joke — on us — or for some still-unknown reason they are deliberately letting us know that this media is faked?
To send a message? But what is the real message?
I really don’t give a sh*t about the inbred hillbillies known as the “Royal family,” but I have an obsessive interest in figuring out why and how the true “Powers That Be” lie to us commoners. Because they do it constantly and that is HOW they get away with crimes that would make Satan blush:
Remember: the other AWOL pervert now known to the world as “King Charles” ran about quite publicly with that super-famous media celebrity “Jimmy Saville” who was a rampant and unapologetic pedophile who not only raped living children but was allowed into hospital morgues to rape dead ones. Fact.
And this was covered up for decades by the “free media” while Saville was allowed to do his famous TV children’s TV show and have access to unlimited living children.
Only when he freaking DIED was this rather important information released to the public.
So if the Royal Family goes down in flames, great. Maybe western civilization will finally be removed from The Dark Ages.
But I’m not holding my breath.

ON EDIT:
There’s been a surprising amount of response to this post, and since I hit the “publish” button, a few other damning images have been brought to my attention. The most interesting one is this:
This clearly shows what the CGI/Deep fake artists used as source imagery for their video of her “cancer announcement.” Clearly they used not only her wardrobe, but her hair.
For the picture of her with the kids, which they have now admitted was fake, the source material for her face was this Vogue cover:
All this being said, if she is still alive and actually going through chemo, I feel terrible for her. For anyone who goes through that.
But we have no way of knowing.
All we actually do know is that they’re going to great lengths to lie to us.
For all we know, Harry threw her down a flight of stairs and killed her.
It could literally be anything, even that.
That’s what happens when you’re caught in a lie. Trust completely vanishes.
Yikes! Don't be so hard on us fools Phil - you said it yourself that it takes a good eye to spot this and what you saw and shared I wouldn't notice because I do not possess your skills. Also, I don't care about any of these "hillbillies" (LOL), so .... Thank you so much for sharing all this - it's nice to 'know' someone who can filter this stuff that's way out of my league. Just by the way Phil - I'm "Annie Derhawk" on fb - I was unceremoniously deleted (as you were also) with no warning. I'm thinking it was because some sappy little douche bag reported me for calling him a hysterical fool (after he smeared my name and politics). Anyway, I've been meaning to come to your SUBSTACK to let you know and to see if you can see my page on fb or see if it's completely disappeared. Hope you're well and I'll look forward to more Substack articles. I tried getting back onto fb but I just don't know how to do it at this point - they just won't allow me in - it's the 3rd profile of mine they've destroyed. Take care - enjoy the lunar eclipse on Sunday and the solar eclipse on April 8th.
Great points on the studio set and lighting tricks. It's a big leap, though, between "this was shot in a studio" and "this isn't Kate." What's the significance of the unnatural part in her hair? You say Kate is gone. If you believe this isn't her in the video, are you saying it's AI, or a body double? Although I share your feelings about the royal hillbillies, I'm intrigued - but I'd like more of your thoughts on the video's clues about the person, or illusion of a person, speaking, or meep-beeping.
