Heidi Egan, a British woman known for her resemblance to Kate Middleton, has been in the news recently. In the wake of conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess of Wales, Heidi spoke to TMZ deny the rumors that she was the woman who actually appeared in the alleged video of Kate and your husband, Prince Williamat the Windsor-based farmers market.
“People think I’m Kate Middleton in the video that was released online,” Heidi told the outlet. “Given my alibi, no, it wasn’t me in the video. I was actually at work.”
Heidi said she was working at a dance school in Northamptonshire on Saturday, which is actually 80 miles from Windsor Farm Shop.
As for the identity of the woman in the video, Heidi thinks it is, in fact, Kate.
“I think it was 100 percent her,” she insisted. “I haven’t received any threats, but people are worried about Kate Middleton’s whereabouts.”
Heidi poked fun at the controversy in her own social media post, posting a photo of herself in a red shirt and writing, “Found her. She’s fine. #whereiskatemiddleton #lookalike.”
O drama with the royal mother of three began in January, when the Palace announced that Kate had undergone “planned abdominal surgery” and would step away from public duties until after the Easter holidays.
When weeks passed without Kate being seen, many began to speculate about her health and whereabouts. So, in honor of British Mother’s Day, the Palace released an image of Kate and her three children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 – that was reportedly taken by Prince William. However, shortly afterward, several media outlets, including the Associated Press, removed the image, saying it was “doctored,” leading to even more speculation. Kate released a statement amid the controversy.
“Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing,” she wrote. “I want to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a happy Mother’s Day.”
But even after video of William and Kate reportedly at Windsor Farm Shop came to light, conspiracy theorists were not pleased.
