There are speculations that the agenda of Obama’s meeting with Sunak could have included Vladimir Putin’s re-election.

Theories around Kate Middleton

Obama’s London visit coincides with wild conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton on social media. The Princess of Wales hasn’t made any public appearances since her abdominal surgery in January. People find this odd since she was quick to pose outside the hospital hours after giving birth.

Netizens are now joking that Obama was in London to find out the whereabouts of Kate Middleton.

“Former President Obama has been dispatched to Downing Street in England to help lead the search for Kate Middleton,” posted one user on X (formerly Twitter).
