So, why has Queen Camilla been forced to "step back"?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

A couple days ago someone pointed me to a story on Facebook that some British royal treasures had been ‘retrieved’ from one of her residences, in what sounds like a pre-dawn sort of emergency raid that involved Prince William having to helicopter in to personally assist with it. With heavy implications that while collecting the items they had paperwork to seize, they saw a bunch of other stuff that was likewise considered to be royal/government property that wasn’t on their paperwork so they couldn’t touch it. Also implied: the stuff had been intended to be secretly sold/shipped out of the country; that similar shipments were suspected to have happened earlier; that the Queen was clearly involved; and so forth.

But I saw no mention at all of this elsewhere. I mean, zippo, on television news or newspapers or anything … and you’ve got to think this is the sort of thing that would drive reporters into frenzies. So I figured it was just some wacko airing a conspiracy theory that everyone else knew was nonsense.

But just a couple days later the Queen is sort of , side lined? And clearly against her will?

So, is there a factual basis to all this?

This sounds like some kind of AI-generated fan fiction to me.

Where did you see this? Facebook again?

4

Yeah. @StarvingButStrong, do you have any actual links to these stories? I agree, this all sounds like BS, if there’s not a whiff of it in the legit press.

The second story I saw in a video on youtube. Let’s see if I can find it again:

It looks like a tv report, though I can’t make out/recognize the logo. Though these days, who can trust even things you see?

That’s a text-to-speech robot on top of some old pictures, it’s absolutely not a TV report.

7

And what was the heartbreaking announcement?

8

Yeah, they use a picture of Rachel Maddow in the still that accompanies the video, in a clear (but lame) attempt to convince potential viewers that there’s something legit there, but this is all purely clickbait.

I can’t picture Rachel Maddow commenting on the British royal family, not in this context.

And she’s not even shown in the actual video, which, as @Lord_Feldon notes, is just an AI voice on top of a bunch of videos and photos, at least some of which appear to be AI-generated.

I skimmed through the video:

  • It leads off with a disclaimer page, which starts “The content in this video is for entertainment and informational purposes only,” and later says, “Its claims are not presented as definitive truths,” and “the material may contain unconfirmed allegations, subjective viewpoints, and discussions of reported occurrences that should not be regarded as factual.” Sooooo…they flat-out tell you, “we make no claim that any of this is, indeed factual.”
  • At 0:18, it says, “news anchors across Britain and America broke the story” that this was announced at “exactly 10:14 am on October 18th, 2025.” Which is all apparently complete bullshit, as the OP can’t find any other verification of this.

In short: THIS IS ALL CLICKBAIT BS, @StarvingButStrong .

Some things are self-evidently easier to trust than others.
