How Prince William and Kate Middleton feel about the conspiracy theories surrounding her whereabouts: report

Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly upset about all the conspiracy theories surrounding her whereabouts.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl got candid about how the royals feel about the rumors, revealing to “Entertainment Tonight” Wednesday, “I know from the sources that I’ve spoken to that both William and Kate have been pretty shocked and genuinely surprised by the wild rumors that are circulating on the internet.”

“I think there’s a sense of frustration, possibly even anger, certainly on William’s part.”

Nicholl continued, “I think the suggestions that [Kate’s] had, well, anything as crazy as a bad haircut that she’s needed to grow out to cosmetic surgery that’s gone wrong or people speculating that possibly she’s in a coma, I think that has made the Prince of Wales frustrated, upset and pretty angry as well.”

She further said it hasn’t been easy for William, 41, or Middleton, 42, to dodge the drama since they both embrace their social media presence.

“It’s been difficult for them,” Nicholl explained. “I think they’re trying to ignore as much as they can.”

“They’ve got an Instagram handle, they’ve got hundreds of thousands of followers,” she continued. “They certainly don’t have their heads in the sand. They are aware of what is being written and what is being said. And I think there’s a sense of frustration that they can’t bring an end to it.”

Nicholl added she would’ve thought the recent sighting of Middleton visiting a farm stand in Windsor over the weekend would’ve “quashed all of the fevered speculation about the Princess of Wales.”

“You would have thought that the video, which showed her walking at quite a brisk pace, carrying a shopping bag, looking pretty healthy and happy, and chatting in a very relaxed way with her husband, would have just dampened out all of the rife speculation that has really been circulating on the internet for weeks now,” she said.

“But, unbelievably, many of those theories are still circulating on the internet.”

The video of Middleton walking at the farm stand over the weekend was the Princess of Wales’ first public outing since Christmas Day.

However, internet sleuths weren’t convinced the woman in the video was Middleton, with several assuming it was her professional lookalike Heidi Agan.

Agan — who is labeled on Instagram as “UK’s most realistic Kate Middleton lookalike” — spoke out Tuesday, telling the Mirror it wasn’t her.

“My own social media has gone crazy as people think it is me, but I know it is not,” she told the outlet. “I know that is not me. I 100 percent believe that is Kate Middleton and William in that video.”

In January, Kensington Palace announced that Middleton underwent abdominal surgery and would be spending about two weeks in the hospital.

As the mother of three has been recovering, several people continue to analyze the royal’s every move.

On March 10, she broke her months-long silence from social media by posting a photo with her and William’s children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 — on Mother’s Day in the UK.

However, eagle-eyed fans noticed several photoshopped errors, which led Middleton to later post an apology among fears for her well-being.

Other theories surrounding Middleton’s absence from the spotlight include resurfaced rumors about her husband having an affair with Lady Rose Hanbury.

The cheating rumors — which stem from 2019 — also have Hanbury “very upset.”

The Marchioness of Cholmondeley — who is wed to David Cholmondeley — denied the rumblings earlier this week via her lawyers.
