'Cancer Doesn't Look Like This': Kate Middleton Criticised For New Video Because It Looks Fake
Kate Middleton was criticized after she released a new video: the network said that the video looks fake, and "cancer doesn't look like that." In the video, Kate said that she had completed a course of chemotherapy. In the footage from the video, she and her husband walk in the forest, hug their children and generally look happy and carefree, and Kate herself is outwardly flawless: with light makeup and perfect hair. All this seemed fake to users.
The video, which was released on September 9, was shot by British director Will Warr. The Internet considered the footage to be more like a Vogue backstage shoot or something that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry (who, by the way, released a teaser for their new project a few hours after Kate Middleton and Prince William's video was published) could have filmed.
Comments included: "Why the wardrobe change, the soft music, the slow motion?", "I think it was meant to show that they were a happy family. But if they had to try so hard...", "This looks like an advert for Central Park", "I can't imagine Charles and Camilla releasing something like this".
Many also wondered how people who are undergoing cancer treatment and whose lives do not look like the picture shown by 42-year-old Kate Middleton and 42-year-old Prince William in this video would feel after such a video: "Cancer does not look like this", "You should have told us about the type of cancer you have and saved thousands of lives." According to commentators, someone will think that they are undergoing treatment or doing something wrong, comparing their lives with this video. Many thought that it would be better if Kate Middleton released a video in which she meets other women with the same diagnosis. In addition, the Internet began to joke about Prince William's bare legs in this video. Commentators said that they can no longer take him seriously, and he is the future king.
The video was also compared to a film about the royal family that the monarchs released in 1969. They wanted to show that they were also people and get closer to the people, but everything turned out the other way around. The video was considered staged, and it caused a scandal. Queen Elizabeth II eventually banned it from being shown.
According to another version, voiced by RadarOnline, the video released by Kate Middleton and Prince William was carefully prepared after rumors about Prince William's infidelity began to spread: "This video looks like a small Hollywood production, everything in it, from the coloring to the visual effects, is designed to convey the image of a truly happy family from an advertising video."
Let us recall that Kate Middleton was diagnosed with cancer in March of this year. Shortly before that, it was reported that the Princess of Wales had undergone abdominal surgery, after which she completely stopped appearing in public. This worried the public and gave rise to many conspiracy theories: someone decided that Kate had fled the palace because of Prince William’s infidelity, someone thought that she had plastic surgery, and someone even decided that Kate Middleton had died. To dispel these rumors, Kate Middleton recorded a video in which she said that she had been diagnosed with cancer. After that, she appeared in public several more times.
