Tucker Carlson has been pranked over Kate Middleton‘s infamous edited photo.
The former Fox News anchor was duped by British YouTubers Josh & Archie into interviewing a fake Kensington Palace whistleblower, who was prepared to dish the dirt on the doctored image.
Archie Manners posed as the Prince and Princess of Wales’ former digital content creator, who claimed he had been fired for altering the Mother’s Day image so poorly it was rumbled by the public.
The Tucker Carlson Network, which streams on Twitter (now X), accepted his story after Manners and co-conspirator Josh Pieters forged Kensington Palace employment documents.
The YouTubers’ faked letter of engagement for the whistleblower included a clause stating that the palace had a right to amputate one of his limbs should he fail his probation period.
Carlson’s people did not spot the preposterous faked document and Manners was sent to a London studio with a hotline to Carlson for the interview.
In the YouTubers’ video, Carlson is seen introducing his guest with the line: “We’ve done our best to verify that your identity is what you say it is. You’re not a fake [Alexei] Navalny or doing a prank.”
In character, Manners said: “I was fired for negligence because the editing that I did was found … the editing job was almost too big to do.”
He claimed the picture was taken by Middleton’s uncle over the holiday season and he had to edit out a Christmas tree from the background. “It is an amazing story,” Carlson is shown saying.
The presenter appeared happy with the interview, telling Manners: “That was great.” His staff later told Manners that they would stream the exchange “early next week.”

Tucker is saving our country by interviewing British royal family celebrity photo editors?
He has to take any “look at me look at me” opportunity to keep his gig going. This is not a criticism saying he’s some sort of “evil guy” it’s just an acknowledgment of what he has to do to stay in business. Remember the “news biz” is just another form of the entertainment biz. You have to be constantly making “buzz” or you disappear.
The question nobody’s asking, and really, really should...
Why was Carlson targeted...? 🤔
You're saving our country by posting articles about Russian omelettes.
Does the name Martin Bashir ring a bell?
Carlson, if you’re onto what I think you’re onto, don’t stop.
Looks like you struck a nerve.
I just checked eggs prices at Walmart. Strange that our concerned poster didn’t inform of us like he did with Russian eggs prices. Guess that would have reflecting badly on Joe Biden.
Oct. 26, 2023 = 5.46 for a 5 dozen box.
Mar. 16, 2024 = 12.80 “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “..
A 130% Increase in 4 months.
So you don’t like Tucker, hate Trump, and want us involved in Ukraine forever. Hm, sounds like Biden is your guy!
I voted for Trump 3 times.
Tucker voted for Kanye West.
Tucker hates President Trump.
Flashback:
Tucker Carlson confessed to his producer that he ‘hated Trump passionately’, according to files unsealed by a judge on Tuesday as part of the Dominion Voting Systems defamation suit.
I haven’t seen what was edited
You're blithering idiot that posted the claim the Putin was dead and Russia was using a body double in his place. You posted articles claiming Putin had blood, thyroid and stomach cancer TWO years ago and he's still alive.
No one here has posted more propaganda and outlandish conspiracy theories THAN YOU HAVE.
Own up to your failings before attacking Tucker.
Why did the lights just go out in Kursk?
Suuuure, Jan. 🤣
