The body-double conspiracy theory surrounding images of the Princess of Wales at a farm shop near Windsor, published by the Sun newspaper, has been debunked. There is no evidence to suggest that a professional impersonator was used in the photos. This theory, which originated on social media, has spread rapidly, with millions of views on platforms like TikTok and former Twitter. Despite Kensington Palace confirming that the princess is recovering from surgery and will return to public duties after Easter, false theories about her health and absence from public life continue to circulate.
Social media algorithms are amplifying these conspiracy theories, with influencers and users spreading unfounded claims. Despite guidelines from platforms like TikTok and former Twitter against sharing misleading content, these theories continue to gain traction. Media outlets have also been criticized for reporting on these claims without evidence.
It is important to be cautious of information spread on social media and to verify sources before sharing or spreading misinformation. The impact of false theories on individuals and public trust is significant, and it is essential to critically evaluate the content we consume online.
