  • Subtitles section
  • Lately, there's been an absolute splooge of memes surrounding the Royal Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.
  • First, she disappeared.
  • Then, there was that weird photoshopped picture.
  • And now, people are obsessed with what she looked like before she left the public eye for a bit, and then after she came back into it.
  • Kate effectively went radio silent on the the twenty fifth of December, twenty twenty three.
  • And of course, the royal obsessed media instantly threw a tantrum when they asked where she was, and got very little in return from the UK's equivalent of the Kardashians.
  • Then, on the the the the eighteenth of January, an official statement was released detailing her entry to hospital for abdominal surgery.
  • Further lack of footage of Kate would send tabloids into even more of a rabid frenzy, positively foaming at the mouth that no images of the Princess Wales were being circulated.
  • Then, to make matters worse, a photo was released by the Royal Family to ease these issues, but as it turns out, it had been clearly photoshopped, which of course only served to grease the gears of the rumour mill.
  • And now, Kate has been filmed walking with Prince William,
  • And this grainy footage has been shared on an international scale, and only seems to have increased the crazy conspiracies and speculation regarding its validity.
  • In this instance, the less than high definition footage of Kate makes it difficult to discern her facial features, and so many are arguing that the person in the clip is definitely not her.
  • Naturally, there are millions upon millions of memes referencing this fact, as the obsession regarding the British royal family reaches an international scale of billions.
  • It's creepy how obsessed people can be with another person to the point that they go out of their way to film them doing regular stuff, although in this instance it's likely due to the fact that tabloid outlets are happy to pay good money for this footage.
  • There is no question that privacy is completely out of the window when it comes to existing as a rich celebrity, especially one that has a consistent narrative pushed about being part of a very old family.
  • There's always been conspiracy theories associated with the world's most famous monarchy, and the idea that they're being replaced by lookalikes is definitely up there.
  • Or perhaps this entire thing is a stunt to increase their own publicity and status.
  • Whatever the case may be, one thing is clear.
  • In our online and connected world, people are so obsessed with others that they are willing to pour for hours, days, or even weeks over a single glimpse of an image, video, or text referencing Kate Middleton simply because she is famous.
  • What meme would you guys like me to give a lesson in next?
  • Let me know in the comments below.
