A Spanish website has caused outrage by publishing distasteful AI-generated images mocking the Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis. The controversial content, which appeared on a site called Maratoon, has been widely condemned as cruel and insensitive.
The images depict an altered version of Kate Middleton, who recently revealed her cancer treatment, in various inappropriate scenarios. This tasteless stunt has drawn sharp criticism from royal supporters and the general public alike.
Public Backlash Against Insensitive Content
Social media users have expressed their disgust at the website's actions, with many calling for the content to be removed immediately. The timing of the publication - shortly after Kate's emotional video announcement about her health - has made the situation particularly offensive.
Royal commentators have described the images as 'a new low in online behaviour', noting that targeting someone's serious illness for entertainment purposes crosses all boundaries of decency.
Growing Concerns About AI Misuse
This incident highlights the increasing problem of AI technology being weaponised to create harmful content. Experts warn that without proper regulation, such tools can easily be abused to target public figures during vulnerable moments.
The website in question has previously courted controversy with similar offensive content, raising questions about platform accountability and the need for stricter content moderation policies.
As the royal family continues to deal with Kate's diagnosis and King Charles' own cancer treatment, this insensitive stunt has added unnecessary distress during an already challenging time.
