The photograph of a smiling Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William shopping for groceries, released by a UK tabloid, have led to further speculation about the Princess of Wales’ health and her long absence from public life.
While fans said this photograph should put an end to speculation, the social media was abuzz with comments that the image was “not of Kate”.
The photos and video were apparently of Kate Middleton “spotted” at her favourite farm shop in Windsor over the weekend. These were the first images of her in public after an abdominal surgery in January. The tabloid said she appeared “happy, relaxed, and healthy”.
Insiders said it was great to see Kate laughing and joking with William on their shopping trip. It was a sign that she was recovering well. This should put an end to “conspiracy theories”.
Rumours galore
However, social media users have criticised the quality of the photograph. Some alleged there was something suspicious going on. They alleged that the woman in the photograph was not the real Kate, but a body double. They claimed that the ears and cheekbones looked different. One X user doubted whether the man in the photograph was really Prince William.
There were accusations that the British royal family either staged the photo-op or hired impersonators. The smiling photo comes at a time when there are rumours of an affair between Prince William and Sarah Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
Looks like the royalty is in a mess that keeps getting worse. Vague medical information and infrequent updates from the royal family have fuelled a great deal of speculation.
Meanwhile, there are media reports that Kate may discuss her health and recovery from surgery at upcoming public events.
