Kate Middleton made a rare appearance alongside Prince William at the Windsor Farm Shop, marking her return to the public eye after a significant absence from royal engagements.
During their stroll at the market close to her family residence, body language expert Cobb observed that Kate appeared to be leading the way slightly ahead of Prince William.
Notably, their walking speed was mismatched, with Kate striding faster than her husband, which could indicate her positive mood or urgency, while William seemed more preoccupied, resulting in a slower pace.
Moreover, Cobb pointed out that William carrying a bag in his left hand prevented him from getting closer to Kate and holding her hand, adding a layer of distance between them during their outing.
Surprisingly, their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – were absent from the scene captured in a brief video of the couple’s leisurely excursion.
Dressed casually for the occasion, Kate donned black leggings and a windbreaker, while William opted for jeans paired with a blue coat.
Cobb noted that seeing the royal pair in laid-back attire within an informal setting was unusual, leading them to blend in seamlessly with ordinary people around them, possibly causing some onlookers to overlook their true identities.
Since Kate’s recent hospitalization and subsequent surgery, every move she makes has sparked controversy, including this latest sighting, prompting online chatter under the hashtag #FakeKate, with skeptics speculating about the authenticity of the woman in the video.
Following her hospital stay in January, Middleton had been previously photographed riding in a vehicle beside Prince William, which also stirred speculation online, with some questioning the authenticity of the image, leading to the photographer addressing the situation.
Middleton’s social media activity has also been under scrutiny, particularly a photo she shared on Instagram featuring herself and her children on U.K.
Mother’s Day, which was later withdrawn from major photo agencies due to suspicions of manipulation.
The photo data revealed timestamps indicating multiple edits made using Photoshop, raising doubts about the authenticity of the image, though the identity of the editor remained undisclosed.
In response to the backlash, the Princess of Wales issued an apology, acknowledging that the shared photograph had been altered, attributing it to her experimentation with editing as an amateur photographer.
Amid ongoing speculations about her health and whereabouts, a royal spokesperson reassured the public that Kate Middleton is in good health, putting an end to the prolonged anticipation surrounding her post-surgery recovery.
