Kate Middleton Looks Like Michael Jackson In Recent Public Sighting, Netizens Claim Amid Plastic Surgery Rumors
Kate Middleton is one of the most beautiful faces in the United Kingdom, but many felt she looked different in her most recent public sighting.
The Princess of Wales had been out of the spotlight for weeks after the Palace announced that she underwent abdominal surgery, prompting some royal fans to ask where Middleton was. However, she was finally spotted out and about on Monday. TMZ got a snap of the Duchess of Cambridge inside a black Audi near Windsor Castle with her mom behind the wheel.
The image was not very clear, but it visibly showed Carole driving and Middleton sitting in the passenger's seat. Prince William's wife wore sunglasses for the outing.
However, the photo raised eyebrows because many felt Middleton looked very different. Several said the royal seemingly resembled the late pop superstar Michael Jackson.
"If you told me this image of Kate Middleton was Michael Jackson, I'd believe that," one commented.
"That photo that's supposedly Kate Middleton looks more like Michael Jackson to me," a second user opined.
"I'm sorry, but that is not Kate Middleton. Looks like if Michael Jackson and Miranda Cosgrove had a child!" another added.
"Is that the ghost of Michael Jackson? Because if that's Kate something is up with her face," a fourth user stated.
"Lol there's a paparazzi photo of supposedly-kate in her mom's car, but it's grainy & doesn't really look like her. It DOES look like Michael Jackson & Ozzy Osbourne, so [people] are saying it's one of them," a different netizen said.
The majority of the netizens agreed that Middleton looked different in the shot. Her unrecognizable appearance also sparked rumors that she probably had cosmetic surgery after she went missing for weeks.
One person suggested that the future queen may have had "lip injections, [B]otox, fat reduction, double chin removal, liposuction, buccal fat removal, brow lift [and] forehead implant."
Another seemingly agreed, claiming that Middleton's face was "swelling."
Last month, many netizens took to social media to ask, "Where is Kate?" They were worried about the Princess of Wales' whereabouts because they had not seen her after the Palace confirmed her surgery. Buckingham Palace also announced that King Charles had cancer, but he was still visible in multiple public sightings following his diagnosis.
"Why is the British Press not reporting on the condition of Kate Middleton? Not one photo of her since 12/28/23, is she alive? Is she in a coma? Is she recovering happily at home? But Every day another article about the Sussexes, who lives a continent away, 'Where is KATE?'" one asked.
Prince William recently made a last-minute decision when he canceled his attendance at a memorial service honoring his godfather, King Constantine of Greece, due to a "personal matter."
The move reignited the concern over Middleton's health. However, the Palace assured royal fans that Middleton was "doing well."
The Princess of Wales is currently expected to continue her recovery and return to her royal duties after Easter.
