Gammon Verify 🐖✅ Royal Emergency Special: Princess of Wales or Queen of Disinformation?

Welcome to this new disinformation service for muggles and people who don't listen to James O'Brien

Hello, I’m Charlotte Gill - and I’m a disinformation correspondent at Gammon Verify, Britain and the world’s most-trusted fact-checking service for deplorables.

It’s been a stressful few days for muggles. Many have been struggling to come to terms with fake news… and not from the usual suspects of Donald Trump or Bully XL owners, but our Royal Overlords.

It started on Sunday - Mothering Sunday, to be exact - when the Princess of Wales, who is a mother, released a photo of herself with her three children (their gender identity yet to be confirmed). She sat in a chair.

All looked well behind the Royal Curtain. Or so it seemed. In hindsight, you might say that the Royals decided to release their equivalent of Picasso’s Guernica that fateful day.

As the image was shared across Britain, you had the feeling that a piece of chicken had been tossed out to a crowd of hungry commoners. With glee they pored over Prince Louis’ hands and Princess Charlotte’s leg. What was what? Twisted fingers. Distorted legs. Speculation abound.

While commoners aren’t always the best sorts to decipher fake news and imagery - experts at Gammon Verify being the most qualified disinformationists - this time it does seem that they were correct, and there was reason to doubt the realism of the photo.

Gammon Verify has done its own analysis and can confirm dark trickery from the Palace. Due to the gravity of the disinformation, we have decided to show the cutting-edge research that led to our conclusions - however, this is not standard practice, with these techniques often confined to the corridors of M15.

The method (please do not try this at home)

To verify if the Royal image was real or fake, Gammon Verify started by magnifying Prince Louis’ weird fingers.

The Gammon Verify team then sat around a table and placed their hands on it. Could we twist our fingers like that too?

Using a Finger Matrix, we combined 3D imagery of everyone’s hands to create an average on 2D. This is the result. (We apologise for the lack of diversity. We are trying to do better.)

Not only did Gammon Verify find that no one could move their hand into the same position as Prince Louis’, aside from one member who formerly worked at Cirque du Soleil, but a significant proportion of the team also experienced discomfort, indicating a 99.9% chance the Princess of Wales has photoshopped Prince Louis’ fingers.

Hours after Gammon Verify filed its conclusions, the Prince and Princess of Wales confirmed the team’s results:

Plenty of fake news has been circulating about the Palace since Sunday. We urge muggles to be vigilant and stick to the facts on Gammon Verify.
