Tucker Carlson Pranked by YouTubers with Phony Kate Middleton Expert
A Royal Ruse
A new controversy has emerged in the world of the U.K.’s royal family, keeping the already captivated audience glued to the ongoing saga. This time, the focus is on Kate Middleton, the sister-in-law of Meghan Markle, renowned for her role on the TV series Suits. Middleton, who recently retreated from the spotlight only to resurface with a family picture to prove she is still alive, has unwittingly become the center of attention. However, her reassurance image was quickly challenged by eagle-eyed observers who argued that it was a poorly executed Photoshop job, a fact that comes as no surprise given the peculiar aura surrounding royal matters.
The Prank
The peculiarities of Middleton’s photo fiasco paved the way for another unexpected event involving her—this time in the domain of popular YouTube pranksters. Making use of the general curiosity surrounding the incident, the mischievous duo, Archie Manners and Josh Pieters, managed to dupe the naive Tucker Carlson. Their target: to secure an appearance on the renowned child host’s show as an alleged former digital content creator for Middleton. Manners and Pieters released a video in which they claimed to have manipulated Kensington Palace documents to trick the show’s bookers. To boost the authenticity of their scheme, these miscreants added a clause in the forged documents stating that the palace had the authority to remove one of Manners’ limbs due to alleged probation failures. Ultimately, their elaborate ploy succeeded, and they were invited to a London studio to conduct the interview with Carlson. To ensure their intentions were clear, they even released their video prior to the scheduled broadcast of Carlson’s, so as not to deceive his 12 million followers with actual misinformation.
Fabrications and Fortune
Upon reviewing the released video, the interview itself appears relatively straightforward, with Manners admitting to being terminated due to his subpar photoshopping skills. One must, however, approach this entire spectacle with a grain of doubt, considering its origin from a pair of individuals brazenly boasting about their art of deception. Nevertheless, it serves as a light-hearted reminder of the public’s insatiable appetite for all things peculiar. This appetite appears even more voracious when the subjects in question are as peculiar as the royal family, and perhaps when the gullible child in question is Tucker Carlson, whose genuine satisfaction with the interview appears quite evident.
