Kate Middleton looked “happy and healthy” while visiting a local farm in Windsor with Prince William on Saturday, according to a new report.
Eyewitnesses told Solar that the Prince and Princess of Wales stopped after watching their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, play sports.
“After all the rumors going ’round, I was shocked to see them there,” a spy shared with the outlet. “Kate was shopping with William, and she seemed happy and well.”
The eyewitness added: “The kids weren’t with them, but it’s a good sign that she was healthy enough to go to the outlet.”
Representatives for the Prince and Princess of Wales did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
It appears no one has managed to capture a photograph of Middleton, 42, who hasn’t been seen in public since Christmas Day – just weeks before she had belly surgery – except for a blurry paparazzo photo and an edited close-up photo of the Day das Mães who received a “killer notice” by the main press companies.
Internet sleuths and conspiracy theorists, however, believe that it was actually the princess’ sister, Pippa Middleton, who appeared in the paparazzo photo.
Rumors surrounding Kate’s health and well-being emerged after her months-long absence, with many speculating about everything from cosmetic surgery to divorce – the latter having introduced Girl Rose Hanbury to the media.
William, 41, and Hanbury have been accused of being involved in an extramarital affair, although neither has directly acknowledged the rumors.
The future monarch’s lawyer, however, told the Daily Beast in 2019 that the allegations were “false and extremely damaging.”
Royal reporter and close friend of Meghan Markle Omid Scobie’s latest book, “Endgame,” also featured a mention of the alleged involvement, but the British journalist said he thought it was just a rumor.
Comedian Stephen Colbert also recently trolled William about the affair rumors on “The Late Show.”

Following Kate’s belly surgery, Kensington Palace indicated that she would return to public duties around Easter, although it is not yet known whether she will do so.
A royal source told the Sunday Times that the mother of three can look after her health by interacting with residents.
“I can see a world in which the princess could focus on her commitment recovery,” the source shared over the weekend, noting that she and William are “more open” when interacting with members of the public.
“If she was going to do it, this is how she would do it,” the source added, sharing that the couple wants to be clear but will only talk when they “feel” ready.
Other royals, however, claimed that Kate’s senior staff had not seen her since her mysterious surgery.
“Many of Kate’s senior staff weren’t able to see or talk to her, and didn’t even know about the surgery until it was announced, so it caught them off guard,” a source told Us Weekly.
“Few people know what’s really going on and they keep quiet.”
