A suburban conspiracy-theory super-spreader, whose lurid speculation about the Princess of Wales went global, is today unmasked by the Mail on Sunday.
Paul Condron, who hides behind an anonymous TikTok handle, spewed deeply hurtful and false stories about Kate. His cruel claims were shared to millions around the world after being reposted by celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton.
But despite this, TikTok, the Chinese social media giant, allowed Condron to cash in on the claims by selling an add-on subscriber service on his page and flogging his clothing merchandise through the official TikTok Showcase store.
The Mail was able to track down the toxic troll to his girlfriend's two-bedroom home in South-West London. Condron refused to say how much money he had made and said he was 'not fussed' about peddling the wild conspiracies online, before retreating and refusing to answer any further questions.
Asked about his videos, his girlfriend said: 'I don't really watch them. 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 does it [films] all around. He just pops out basically.' A neighbour told the Mail that Mr Condron spends almost all his time at home and was shocked when shown the posts.
He said: 'This is news to me. I didn't even know he was doing this. He doesn't come across as someone who's computer savvy.'
