FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING.
Searching with relevant keywords, the NM team found a matching news clip on the Daily Mail website from March 9, 2023.
According to the Daily Mail, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited the Hayes Muslim Centre in London to meet with relief and aid workers who were assisting Turkey and Syria after the devastating earthquakes. During the visit, as a gesture of respect, the couple removed their shoes, and Kate Middleton wrapped a scarf around her head.
Additionally, the video was also shared on the British Royal Family’s YouTube channel and covered by Sky News, further confirming its origin.
Thus, it is evident from the above information that an old video of Princess Kate wearing a headscarf during a visit to a Muslim community centre in 2023 is falsely presented as a recent footage.
