Why Princess Beatrice's 2018 Met Gala look is trending in 2025? Old clips spark wild ‘royal robot' conspiracy theory
Princess Beatrice's 2018 Met Gala clips spark wild conspiracy theory
Out of nowhere, multiple clips from Princess Beatrice's 2018 Met Gala red carpet walk have popped up across TikTok, X, and Reddit. In the videos, she's seen arriving in a regal, floor-length deep purple gown with a high waistline, subtle beading, and a matching jewel-encrusted headband. Her hair is slicked back into a neat low bun, and her makeup is soft and understated, very much on the demure side for an event known for theatrical excess.
But what caught people's attention wasn't the dress or the styling. It was the way she stood so perfectly still, holding a fixed expression, barely blinking as cameras flashed. Some viewers claim she doesn't move her mouth or eyes at all for several seconds, making the footage feel unsettling and oddly stiff. These clips might have gone unnoticed back in 2018, but in today's hyper-online culture, they've been dubbed suspicious enough to spark 'Is she a robot?' debates.

'Is that a robot?' Internet reacts to uncanny Beatrice footage
One user wrote, 'Is this actually her? It looks like a robot in a Beatrice mask. No mouth or face movement at all. Unnatural eye movement and a partial blink that goes about halfway.' Another added, 'You mean besides the robotic movements and Chucky expression frozen on her face?' A third simply asked, 'Is that a robot? Serious question. This is eerie shit.'

Is that a robot? Serious question. This is eerie shit.
Of course, not everyone jumped on the conspiracy bandwagon. Some viewers defended Beatrice, saying she might have been overwhelmed by the cameras and was simply trying too hard to hold a pose.
I pulled up a different video, and it's definitely not a robot....I think she was just trying waaaaaay too hard not to blink for the photags.https://t.co/czm9DoAiVP

Who is Princess Beatrice?
Born in 1988, Princess Beatrice is the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Though she's ninth in line to the throne, she's mostly kept a low profile compared to her cousins William and Harry. Over the years, she's become known for her charity work, support of dyslexia awareness, and occasional headline-grabbing fashion choices. She married property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private 2020 ceremony, and the couple shares two daughters, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi and Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi.

Hrithik's War 2, Alia's Alpha Or Ranveer's Dhurandhar: Which Will Be The Biggest Action Film Of 2025?
War 2 releases in August while Dhurandhar and Alpha will be out in December, as per reports. The second half of 2025 will see the release of three big action films- Hrithik Roshan's War 2, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar and Alia Bhatt's Alpha. Recently, Dhurandhar's first look was released on Ranveer Singh's 40th birthday, and it created immense frenzy among fans. Earlier today, War 2's trailer was finally released, creating intense anticipation for the film. While Alia Bhatt is yet to be seen in her Alpha avatar, there is enough buzz surrounding the film. As such, a Redditor questioned: 'Which one do you think will be the biggest action movie of this year?" A Reddit post featuring the posters of War 2, Dhurandhar and Alpha has gone viral, asking fans which film will make the most profit at the box office. Have a look here: One Ranveer Singh fan wrote, 'Dhurandhar." Another added, 'Somehow more expectation from Dhurandhar than the other two." Another wrote, 'Dhurandhar will be big. I trust Aditya Dhar and Ranveer. Although Hrithik looks so hot can just go and watch him for my eyes' sake." Another comment read, 'Dhurandhar looks exciting🔥." Someone commented, 'Dhurandhar definitely feels more raw. I am sure there will be over-the-top action there as well, but overall it feels more grounded. Alpha and War can be good, but Dhurandhar definitely looks better up until now, at least." Another comment read, 'War 2 posters have been such a disappointment." Another comment read, 'Everyone is alpha until the real Alpha comes in." A comment read, 'War 2 might have a better collection due to Jr NTR's fans in the South." Some else wrote, 'BO wise War 2 most def." Another added, 'War 2 is easily the biggest movie this year. It has the advantage of two huge industries, 500-600 from Bollywood, 200 from the Telugu industry." Someone wrote, 'War 2. Dhurandhar won't even cross Saiyaara." After the trailer drop for War 2, fans are excitedly waiting for the trailers of Dhurandhar and Alpha, before making their final judgment. Meanwhile, War 2 is all set to hit the theatres on August 14. Alpha will reportedly be released on December 25. While Dhurandhar was set for a December 5 release, some reports suggest that the film might get delayed. However, this is only speculation.

Kiara Advani's Role In War 2 REVEALED, Actress Will Kill Hrithik Roshan?
Reddit has come up with theories after War 2 trailer release. However, this is only speculation. The much-anticipated War 2 Trailer is finally out, and Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani and Jr NTR's fans are buzzing with excitement. Some eagle-eyed fans on Reddit have even begun theorising the film's plot, dissecting every frame with great detail. These Redditors have a theory for Kiara Advani's character: Is she Luthra's daughter? A Reddit post is going viral for claiming that Kiara Advani plays Kavya Luthra in War 2. As per the post's theory, Kavya is the daughter of Colonel Sunil Luthra (played by Ashutosh Rana), a Joint Secretary of RAW. He is a key figure in the YRF Spyverse and is tasked with managing the pursuit of Hrithik Roshan's Kabir, who has gone rogue. The Redditor zoomed in on Kiara's name tag in one shot from the trailer and claimed that it read 'Kavya Luthra'. The trailer of War 2 shows Kavya and Kabir romancing in a foreign location. The trailer also features shots of Kavya in her true agent avatar, gunning down her enemies. Hrithik Roshan is also seen directly interacting with Ashutosh Rana, who spits on the star's face in what seems like a kidnapping scene. Redditors have their theories about Kiara's character. One person wrote, 'Kabir would have killed both Luthras." However, another added, 'I don't think Kiara will die." Another commented, 'Luthras vs Kabir…" Another wrote, 'So she's here to sabotage Kabir. 50% story done." Another added, 'Okay, so Kiara would think Kabir killed Luthra, but in reality, it would be NTR." Someone else wrote, 'I think Kabir kills Colonel Luthra, and after that, Kiara gets to know about it in mid-film, goes after Kabir for his head on a spike. But the end probably reveals why he killed him, OR Kiara is acting as a double agent, Kabir killed Luthra, and she goes undercover from the start or something 😂." While these fan theories are spreading like wildfire, it is important to note that none of this speculation has been confirmed, including Kiara's character's name in the film. The film will be out in theatres on August 14, 2025. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what cinematic wonder the three stars bring to the screens.
