A video posted to the Covert Geopolitics YouTube channel in November 2019 purported to capture a fully naked 'Filipino looking child' escaping from a window of the Buckingham Palace in the middle of the day. The clip was accompanied by a voice-over narration that consisted of a long diatribe about pedophiles and Satanists. Our partial transcript below gives a general idea of what the narrator tried to convey (minus the profanity): However, neither the video clip nor the description of it offered by Covert Geopolitics was real. The Covert Geopolitics version of the clip was actually a slowed-down, looped, lower-resolution version of a video — purportedly captured by a tourist in London — that prompted a good deal of consternation and speculation when it mysteriously appeared online in February 2015. The Mirror wrote: That clip, in turn, was a stealth promotion created for the upcoming premiere of the E! Entertainment television series The Royals, a drama about a fictional British Royal family who inhabit a world of luxury and regal tradition that also involves intrigue and unexpected twists, revealing the complexities faced by royals trying to maintain high-profile relationships under scrutiny. From the E! Online website: The promotional strategy was conceived by the advertising company Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH), which also created a short video asserting bragging rights over its worldwide success. Producer SF Hartley did the same. Whatever activities the satanists of the world might be up to, producing viral commercials for cable television dramas is probably not among them.
