You forgot to mention the non-moving background, which is clearly a green-screen, and the eyes which pop out of the head when zooming in. It's also obvious that this supposedly 42 year-old looks barely 30, and a very prominent mole she has on her right cheek which is clearly visible in all other photos is missing here. It is a fake and France 24 must have disappointed a lot of people by choosing to be fake themselves over this particular trick.

I mean sorry but she looks 42. She looks way older than I remembered her… and I didn’t pay much attention to the royal family in the last decade so, to me, she looks her age. Not older, and definitely not younger. Now I don’t know about the eyes popping out, haven’t noticed, haven’t zoomed in, but if it’s a green screen, it doesn’t prove that it’s fake, just that the background is 🤔

And for the mole, makeup ? Again, I’m not saying this video is real or isn’t, I don’t know. But if she is suffering from cancer, she’s probably looking very tired and unwell without a ton of makeup, so you could argue that they’ve just put a foundation that has higher coverage, covering her mole. A high coverage foundation hides all my freckles and moles so… my comments are just for the sake of debating, I’m not screaming that this is real 🤷🏻♀️

there's a detail which must be added. Look closely at the bench right above the left armrest. There's a ghost shadow hovering which is appearing and repeating itself out of place, as it were cast by KM but it is obviously not, it does not correspond to KM movements and nothing else could cast it given the right to left light direction. I'm convinced it is a digitally manipulated video, it is a deep fake overimposed to real KM speech

@@crystalawen So, after watching the original HD video with the ring not disappearing you still think it's "pure nonsense"? Well ok. The shirt was proven to be different so, claiming it was edited is a bit of a cop-out. The bench panels? The closer things are to the camera will the bigger they will appear of course... everything normal here, you only need basic notions of perspective to get that. The video is too perfect to be AI. We're not there yet.

I watched the video and the ring does not disappear. You can even see her doing a finger mouvement with her pinky to try to replace the ring in the beginning of the video. You can see the stone of the ring reflecting light/sunshine. You can see bugs fly around. You can see the little hairs of her hair reflecting light. Give it a second shot and let me know what you think.

Incorrect.
Slow the video down to.25x, zoom in to nose and mouth area. Watch for 30 seconds or so. Watch especially the shape and position of the nostrils in relation to the rest of the nose. Do the same with an another video of Kate. Compare the two. Be entertained! Let’s also not forget it was filmed by the esteemed BBC. Surely they wouldn’t use their worst camera on the Princess.
It's so obvious it's fake. "Kate" looks like a robot!!!
They did a bad job then. Her head ratio compared to her upper body is off, just check real pics and videos of her!
The ring disappears on the high quality video, you don't even need an editing program to notice that.

@@pauli7197 I don’t know how you googled but I can find lots of pictures of benches shot in a similar angle that „behave“ like this. The back part of the bench is turned away, which makes the planks appear smaller in width and the distance between the planks also looks smaller than on the left, the part that is further forward and closer to the camera. Depending on how pronounced the angle is at which a bench is positioned to the camera, the thickness of the planks in the back can also appear larger than in the foreground: that's all completely normal due to the perspective and setting of the camera lens.

What poor coverage and poor AI analysis. The points you covered are the main ones flying around social media. There are soooo many other AI glitches in this video. There are plenty of AI nerds that have gone through more of these points on social media. For people who are working in media, such incompetence to do some easy research is inexcusable.
I hope lying to us is worth your credibility because the truth will come out… and when it does we will remember to never look to you for the truth

Kate's chin isn't that squareish. There's too much space around AI chin/jaw area. She should be looking more haggard if she has been sick and confined in the hospital---she was already looking haggard before Christmas last year. There was a lack of natural facial shadowing in the video.
News outlet reports about "users claims"
The fact that the sweaters don't match but still do similar worked against this lady lol
3:20 she is playing in my face…
Those flowers in the background, do they bloom during the times the video was recorded?
I am not a specialist, but straight away I thought: she looks strange. Very different. Much younger. Too long hair. Slightly different face. And: WHY can not she appear in public, if she feels SO GOOD in this video? She looks full of energy and perfectly healthy.
It is a conspiracy FACT that this video is made by AI. I expected inhabitants of orion consellation to know better how to create human-made-looking bench...
