As Eliot Higgins, the founder of Bellingcat, says in this thread, it's disturbing that a completely insane conspiracy theory about Kate Middleton swapping her face in a photo has 38M views.

The truth truly does not matter to people because they want to believe the conspiracy and cannot be convinced otherwise. https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1767315138221146553
