British authorities believe rumors about the health and "disappearance" of Kate Middleton, who was diagnosed with cancer, are "fueled by China, Russia and Iran," the Daily Telegraph reports.
According to the source, the government is concerned that Britain's "adversaries" are deliberately spreading conspiracy theories about the Princess of Wales to "destabilize the situation in the country".
They believe Russia, China or Iran may be involved in the social media rumors. Similar concerns have been raised by some people in important positions in the British government.
Kate Middleton's absence from the public sphere following abdominal surgery in January was the source of much rumour, speculation and conspiracy theories until the princess posted a video message and revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer.
Even after Kate's speech, which caused a storm of public sympathy, conspiracy theories continue to circulate online about both the authenticity of the video and the diagnosis itself.
Some question the effectiveness of chemotherapy, others blame the COVID-19 vaccine for the future Queen of England's diagnosis. King Charles III had been previously diagnosed with cancer. The King has temporarily retired from royal duties and is undergoing treatment. Royal duties are being carried out by his son Prince William and his wife Queen Camilla. / BGNES
