After weeks of growing speculation about the Princess of Wales' health, Kate Middleton shared a video with the public explaining that she is in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy following her abdominal surgery in January. The clip of the royal was broadcast on the BBC before being shared to the official Kensington Palace social media accounts, and while it quickly put an end to much of the online conspiracy theories the video sparked fresh editing claims from social media users, leading BBC Studios to issue a statement confirming that no edits had been made.
However, this week the short video made headlines once again as photo agency Getty Images added an Editor's Note to the footage, which is available to download from their database. In the flagged video of Kate detailing her cancer diagnosis, the Editor's Note reads: "This Handout clip was provided by a third-party organisation and may not adhere to Getty Images' editorial policy."
