The Royal family is focused on King Charles and Kate Middleton’s recovery journey, but a recent report suggests that Britain’s adversaries are spreading conspiracy theories about Princess Diana’s health issues.
According to a report from The Telegraph, Whitehall officials are concerned about hostile states like Russia, China, and Iran spreading rumors on social media about Kate’s health.
Unnamed Whitehall sources told the newspaper that the aim of these attacks on Kate is to destabilize the nation, which is part of the strategy of hostile states.
Kate’s absence from public life after her surgery in January led to speculation, and she later revealed her cancer diagnosis, stating she needs time to recover before starting chemotherapy.
While Kate received widespread support after her announcement, online rumors and conspiracy theories persist, including doubts about the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
There are concerns about Chinese interference in UK democracy ahead of the upcoming general elections, with Deputy PM Oliver Dowden planning to address the issue in parliament.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the social media trolls targeting Kate, expressing the country’s support for her.
Former royal adviser Paddy Harverson described the rumors about Kate’s health as the worst he’s ever seen.
