The outdoor setting, showcasing the seasonal flowers, may have been a swift way to dispel any further conspiracy theories about when the video was recorded.

Engagement ring
Speculation that the Mother’s Day photo was edited was spurred on by the fact that Kate was not wearing her wedding and engagement rings.
In the video address, which aired before the Six O’Clock News last night, Kate’s wedding and engagement rings, adorned with a large sapphire, were displayed clearly on her left hand.
Fans speculate that this may have been a subtle way to dismiss any conspiracy claims around her relationship with Prince William.
‘Cancer had been present’
Kate announced that “cancer had been present” following her original “major” surgery in January.
She added that the chemotherapy she is now undergoing is “preventative,” adding she was feeling “well and getting stronger every day”.
Since the release of the video, there has been an outpouring of love and support for the Princess of Wales.
Cancer charities have praised her openness, while world leaders, friends and celebrities have wished her well.
