In the latest chapter of the ongoing saga surrounding Kate Middleton’s public appearances, internet trolls have raised doubts about the authenticity of a video showing the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William during a trip to a local farm shop.

Despite the release of footage showing the couple in seemingly good spirits, social media skeptics continue to question the validity of Middleton’s presence.

The video, obtained by The Sun, captures Middleton and Prince William making a casual visit to the Windsor Farm Shop near Windsor Castle over the weekend.

In the footage, Middleton appears relaxed and smiles as she walks briskly, carrying bags and sporting a more natural look with minimal makeup.

However, some online commentators remain unconvinced, suggesting that the woman in the video may not be Middleton at all.

References were made to a previous photo of Middleton in a car with her mother, Carole Middleton, fueling speculation about the authenticity of the recent footage.

Planned surgery

Conspiracy theories about Middleton’s whereabouts and health have been rampant on social media since her planned abdominal surgery in January.

Despite attempts by Kensington Palace to address the speculation, doubts persist, exacerbated by the recall of a UK Mother’s Day photo of Middleton and her children, which news agencies claimed was “manipulated.”

Critics have also pointed out inconsistencies, such as Middleton’s apparent ability to jog and carry bags just months after surgery, leading to skepticism about the accuracy of the farm shop video.

Some have even humorously suggested scenarios involving body doubles or look-alikes prancing around Windsor.

However, sources close to the royal family have dismissed these theories, emphasizing that Middleton’s public appearance should put an end to ongoing speculation about her recovery.

Despite the efforts to quash misinformation, the saga surrounding Middleton’s public visibility continues to capture the attention of internet trolls and royal watchers alike.
