Andy Cohen, more royal fans believe ‘fake’ Kate Middleton appeared in farm stand video

Footage of Kate Middleton hasn’t silenced the conspiracy theorists.

Skeptics and naysayers took to social media to express their disbelief shortly photos of the Princess of Wales shopping with Prince William at a local farm stand this weekend were released.

“That ain’t Kate…” tweeted Bravo bigwig Andy Cohen Monday.

“I’m am sorry but that’s not her,” tweeted another fan who adde “#FakeKate” to her message.

“They should’ve just paid Steven Spielberg to fake a video of Kate because that TMZ video just made everything worse,” tweeted another, adding an image of Middleton snapped in 2023 and a grab of her from the farm stand video.

“That’s not the same person #KateGate #fakekate #KateMiddleton,” observed another who also shared split images.

In footage shared by The Sun, the future queen smiled as she briskly walked alongside the Prince of Wales while carrying a large shopping bag.

Middleton, 42, looked comfortable in a more casual outfit than the public is used to seeing, stepping out in leggings and a zip-up sweatshirt. She let her long hair fall against her all-black outfit.

Prince William, 41, matched her comfort level in jeans and a baseball cap.

The video came hours after The Sun reported the Middleton had stopped by the stand after she and William watched their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, play sports.

“The kids weren’t with them, but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops,” a source told The Sun of the outing. Ashley Crowden/Shutterstock She underwent an unspecified abdominal surgery in January. Getty Images

“After all the rumors that had been going ’round, I was stunned to see them there,” one spy shared with the outlet. “Kate was out shopping with William, and she looked happy and she looked well.”

The eyewitness added, “The kids weren’t with them, but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.”

Middleton hadn’t been seen mingling in public since Christmas Day when she and her family attended church services. Weeks later, she underwent an unspecified abdominal surgery, and Kensington Palace announced she likely wouldn’t return to her duties until Easter.

She tried to connect with the public on Mother’s Day by sharing a photo of herself with her children, but experts determined it had been so heavily edited that several agencies issued a “kill notice.”

Middleton apologized for the botched photo shortly thereafter.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” she wrote on X from the official Prince and Princess of Wales account.

“I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”
