00:00 I do worry about what happens the truth princess Diana's brother is speaking

00:04 out regarding Kate Middleton's ongoing public absence and all the conspiracies

00:09 surrounding her hiatus in a new interview with the BBC Charles Spencer

00:14 compared the media frenzy that is currently surrounding Kate and her

00:18 whereabouts to her late mother-in-law princess Diana who died in a car crash

00:23 after being chased by paparazzi yeah if I look back to 97 and Diana's death I

00:28 think that was so shocking to the circumstance of her death was so

00:33 shocking that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really

00:41 consider more carefully what it could and couldn't do not because they had a

00:47 moral judgment but because it was unacceptable to the public do you worry

00:52 though about what's happened to the truth I do worry about what happens the

00:56 truth the palace announced that Kate had undergone a planned abdominal surgery in

01:00 January and would be out of the spotlight recovering until after Easter

01:04 but many fans have been left with questions about her absence and the

01:08 speculation hit a new high earlier this month when a family photo he posted was

01:13 retracted by major news agencies over concerns that it had been manipulated

01:18 and didn't meet their standards Kate later shared in a statement in part

01:23 quote like many amateur photographers I do occasionally experiment with editing

01:28 I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we

01:32 shared yesterday caused despite conspiracies about the princess's

01:37 well-being Daily Mail editor Charlie Langston told Access Hollywood that

01:41 people should not listen to any rumors surrounding Kate's health

01:45 Kate underwent abdominal surgery at the beginning of the year the palace

01:50 announced that she would be undergoing treatment that she would spend up to two

01:54 weeks in hospital and that she would then recover at home and would likely

01:58 not return to public royal engagements until after Easter however even though

02:04 the palace gave this timeline from the get-go that didn't stop social media the

02:09 internet whatever you want to call it from spinning out some incredibly

02:14 dramatic conspiracy theories not only about her whereabouts but also about the

02:18 procedure that she may have had done there was some people suggesting that

02:22 she'd had a facelift other people were sharing mocked-up images of her after

02:27 she'd had a BBL you know but left if I'm allowed to say that kind of thing other

02:32 people were saying that she was in a coma and that she wasn't going to wake

02:35 up there were even some people who were suggesting that she may have died now

02:39 all of this got so incredibly frenzied online that the palace made the very

02:46 rare move of actually addressing all of these conspiracy theories they issued

02:50 another statement reminding people that they had said from the off that Kate

02:55 would not be back in public until after Easter and they assured royal well

03:00 wishes as well as all of these conspiracy theorists that she was doing

03:04 fine and she was recovering well
