Kate Middleton’s Christmas Day appearance with the Royal Family has sparked a new conspiracy theory. A viral video of the Princess of Wales shows what some believe is a visible facial scar.
Kate, in remission from cancer since January 2025, has been easing back into royal duties and kept largely out of the public eye during treatment. Past photos, including a manipulated Mother’s Day image in 2024, had already fueled speculation about her health.
In the Christmas clip from Sandringham, royal watchers claimed the scar was noticeable and questioned her hospitalization, with some even doubting her cancer diagnosis. Comparisons to Meghan Markle’s media coverage were also made, citing perceived bias.
Kate has openly discussed the challenges post-treatment. She described the period after cancer as unexpectedly difficult, noting the importance of guidance and support in adjusting to a “new normal” after her journey.
