A recently released video featuring Prince William and Kate Middleton shopping at a local farmer's market has reignited a flurry of conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess of Wales.
The Sun initially reported on the couple's rare public appearance at one of their favourite farm shops near their Windsor residence, aiming to quell ongoing speculation about Kate's prolonged absence following her abdominal surgery. Subsequently, TMZ obtained and circulated a video capturing the royals appearing cheerful as they exited the market.
Despite these attempts to dispel rumours, the internet remains unconvinced about the authenticity of Kate's appearance after her nearly three-month hiatus from public view. Earlier, a photograph surfaced in February showing Kate seated in a car beside her mother, further fueling speculations. Additionally, a Mother's Day photo featuring Kate and her children was uploaded to the couple's joint social media accounts, which was later confirmed to have been digitally altered.
Conspiracy theorists quickly dissected the new video, with many users on social media platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) pointing out discrepancies in Kate's appearance and behaviour. One user remarked, "That isn't her. She has higher cheekbones, a different smile, and a slimmer build. It's unlikely she'd be carrying a bag after undergoing abdominal surgery. This has to be a body double."
Another commenter went so far as to suggest cloning, stating, "I'm convinced they cloned her."
Furthermore, some observant viewers noted the presence of Christmas decorations in the background of the video, leading them to speculate about its timing. "Are those Christmas decorations? That doesn't look like Kate. It may not even be Prince William!" one sceptical viewer declared.
As the debate rages on, the mystery surrounding Kate Middleton's recent public appearances continues to captivate royal watchers and conspiracy theorists alike, underscoring the public's insatiable curiosity about the private lives of the British royal family.
