How Kate Middleton Truthers Became The New QAnon

04/04/24 • 47 min

Kate Middleton, formally known as Catherine, Princess of Wales, announced on March 22, 2024 that she has cancer. It came as a shock to many, but for some-it was straight up unbelievable and led to many conspiracies. In this episode, Kiki is diving into those conspiracy theories with Betches’ resident Royal expert Samantha Bush, who runs the wildly popular account @bravohistorian and is the host of the Chronically Online podcast. Together, they discuss why Kate Middleton became "QAnon for Wine Moms," how the Pop Apologists account contributed to the spread online, and why we should all stan Camilla Parker Bowles.
