Andy Cohen & Royal Fans Cast Doubt On Kate Middleton Farm Shop Video: 'That Ain't Kate'

Despite recent footage of Kate Middleton shopping with Prince William, skeptics on social media continue to doubt its authenticity. Eyewitnesses described Kate as "happy and relaxed" during the outing, which followed reports of the couple watching their children play sports.

While Kensington Palace hasn't commented, insiders believe the footage should quash doubts about Kate's recovery. Royal officials are reportedly expediting plans for her return to duties, with Kate consulting former aides to navigate her dual roles efficiently amidst public scrutiny.

Despite the recent footage of Kate Middleton, showing the Princess of Wales shopping with Prince William at a local farm stand, doubts continue to swirl, with skeptics flooding social media with disbelief.

Bravo boss and host of "Watch What Happens Live," Andy Cohen, is one of the most notable figures who called out the video as fake.

"That ain't Kate…" Cohen tweeted on Monday. Another X user, employing the hashtag "#FakeKate," echoed the sentiment, stating, "I am sorry, but that's not her."

One individual suggested hiring Steven Spielberg to create a fake video, writing, "They should've just paid Steven Spielberg to fake a video of Kate because that TMZ video just made everything worse." They compared images from the farm stand video to those captured in 2023, emphasizing discrepancies.

Another social media user commented, "That's not the same person. #KateGate #fakekate #KateMiddleton.”

"What if this footage of Kate Middleton and Prince William are two look-alikes hired by Nathan Fielder? And they were told to walk around Windsor for a day," one more royal fan speculated.

The social media reaction comes after TMZ released footage of Kate and William during a leisurely outing near their Windsor residence known as the Windsor Farm Shop. The couple was spotted at the shop, where eyewitnesses described Kate as appearing "happy, relaxed, and healthy" as she browsed the aisles.

In the video, the Princess of Wales was seen sporting casual athletic wear, exuding confidence with each step despite recent health concerns. William accompanied her closely, sharing in the laid-back atmosphere of the shopping trip.

Nelson Silva, one of the witnesses, recounted how he recognized Kate's familiar face: "I noticed a couple choosing loaves of bread, and the woman turned her face, and I felt like I had seen the face before. It was familiar. I knew it from somewhere."

He added, "I went to my car and as they came out of the shop I just filmed them. I think they walked out through a gate out of the grounds. They just vanished and I didn't see a car. I just wanted to share with my family footage and show just how normal they were."

Silva concluded: "Kate looked happy and relaxed. They look happy just to be able to go to a shop and mingle. Kate looked relieved like it was a success going to a shop. It felt natural."

The video follows a report from The Sun that Kate and William had previously accompanied their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to watch them play sports.

One observer expressed surprise, stating, "After all the rumors that had been going around, I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William, and she looked happy and she looked well."

The onlooker added, "The kids weren't with them, but it's such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops."

While Kensington Palace has remained silent on the recently surfaced footage, insiders close to the royal family told NYP that the sighting "should hopefully be enough to put an end to the outside noise about her recovery."

Another source from the Palace shared similar thoughts with The Telegraph, stating: "Finally everyone can calm down."

Amid the fresh conspiracies that have started over the new video, ex-England cricketer, Keven Pietersen claimed in a tweet that he tends to see William and Kate "most days."

The cricketer slammed the conspiracy theories as "bull----" and stated that "cruel trolls" need to leave her and her family alone.

The 43-year-old former England cricket player resides near Windsor, where Kate and William were sighted shopping on Saturday,

Pietersen wrote on X, "The conspiracy theories around Kate are absolutely absurd! We see W&K most days and in the last couple days too! It beggars belief that people would be so ridiculous and cruel in writing BULL---- on this platform that are out and out lies!"

He added, "W&K are the most wonderful parents and as normal/humble as they come. Let K who is recovering from an operation recover. Leave her and her beautiful family alone!!!!"

This development coincides with reports suggesting that royal officials are expediting plans for Kate's return to official duties, given her promising recovery.

According to inside sources, Kate has enlisted the expertise of two former aides to devise a comprehensive plan for her return to royal duties.

The Mirror disclosed that these aides, well-versed in public relations, are working diligently on strategies to accommodate Kate's dual responsibilities of work and motherhood.

Lieutenant Colonel Tom White, Kate's private secretary since January, is actively involved in the planning process alongside Prince William's private secretary, Ian Patrick, who brings diplomatic experience to the table.

"The teams are working round the clock to devise the Princess of Wales's back-to-work plan after weeks of immense pressure," a source informed the news outlet, acknowledging the global attention surrounding Kate's recovery.

"They all know that the world will be watching after weeks of heightened speculation and often outlandish commentary on social media."
