Princess Kate allegedly overdosed on sleeping pills
More conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess of Wales have made their way onto the social media landscape.
Kate Middleton, 42, received an outpouring of global sympathy after a video message revealed she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
But the Princess of Wales' absence from the public eye has still been sparking numerous conspiracy theories online after a manipulation of a royal photograph was released to the media.
Online reports over the past weekend caused quite a stir when it was suggested that the Princess overdosed on sleeping pills.
A former staffer of the royal family has allegedly claimed that Kate Middleton slipped into a coma after overdosing on sleeping pills.

"In the early evening of 28th December, after tea, we found her unconscious in her room, and she got taken away quickly to the hospital. We never saw her again," said the staffer who wishes to remain anonymous.
The royal family has not verified the claims, and many are calling them part of the numerous conspiracies currently circulating.
