She’s alive!
In a video obtained by TMZ, Kate Middleton proved naysayers wrong when she was seen looking happy and healthy while visiting a local farm stand with her husband, Prince William, over the weekend.
Despite a flurry of internet conspiracies about her health, the Princess of Wales looked comfortable in a more casual outfit than the public is used to seeing, stepping out in leggings and a zip-up sweatshirt.
