The man behind an anonymous TikTok account that spread conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton’s ‘disappearance’ has been identified.
Paul Condron is accused of using the platform to spread false stories about the Princess’s health and whereabouts while she was recovering from abdominal surgery and a subsequent cancer diagnosis, which is currently being treated with a course of chemotherapy.
Approached by MailOnline outside his girlfriend’s two-bedroom home in South West London, Condron refused to say how much money he had made peddling unsubstantiated and outlandish rumours on TikTok, which allows users to earn profits by selling subscriber services and flogging merchandise.
He reportedly said he was ‘not fussed’ about the material he had been promoting online before retreating indoors and refusing to answer further questions.
His girlfriend, meanwhile, said: ‘I don’t really watch [his videos]. It’s not my cup of tea. I know he does a few of them but I don’t really know much about them.
‘He [films them] all around. He just pops out basically.’
A neighbour, however, alleges that Mr Condron spends most of his time indoors.

The local resident said: ‘This is [all] news to me. I didn’t even know he was doing this. He doesn’t come across as someone who’s computer-savvy.’
In other posts, Mr Condron has reportedly peddled false information about the Covid-19 pandemic, the conflict in Gaza, and even alleged paranormal activity in his back garden.
Speculation and conspiracy theories have run rampant since the Princess of Wales’ ‘disappearance’ from public life since she went in for surgery in January.
