Just saw this on News at Ten and it clearly is NOT Kate or William. The woman is nothing like Kate and William is not as heavy as the man in the photo.

However the Sun reckons it is them, so do News at Ten. 🤣🤣

FAKE News!

Duped again! Deary me what’s the palace up to? Do they think the general public are all idiots?

Why are you saying this? If it is a fake then that is between the man who took the video and The Sun and nothing to do with Kensington Palace. It looks like Catherine and William to me, an analysis has been done of the video and the time and place corresponds to what is being claimed by the man who submitted it to The Sun. People need to focus on important things not conspiracy theories.

It was on the BBC lunchtime news, and I believed it, but haven’t checked.

Kensington Palace has confirmed that it is William and Catherine. I thought so.

I’ve often been to the Windsor Farm Shop. I’ll look out for them!

I can’t see that they have confirmed it’s them.
Link please.

Don’t care. Yes the general public are idiots. I care about that.

It is definitely them. I enlarged the video to make sure. She looks great and very healthy. Lovely to see them out and about.

It was against the guidelines of the associated press, so yes it broke their rules. It's not the same as sharing a photo on WhatsApp with an emoji added.

The guidelines of the associated press only apply to press and news pictures.

'studio' photography - which is what this is, id not vovered. Pictures taken in advance and issued to mark a particular event like this are not covered by the same rules.

I am beginning to think I have been transported to a parallel universe overnight.

How come GN is now resembling conspiracy theory HQ?
Because, if nothing else they have made a right royal hash of things. And continue to do so.

Not true, an announcement was made stating Catherine had abdominal surgery and on medical advice would not be resuming public duties until after Easter.

I assume they staged the event themselves. I suspect there will be more photos coming out whilst she eases herself back into the limelight.

Yes

And xhould we all apply some critical thinking

Casdon What? 😱 you would rather go out and buy a cabbage and a few King Edwards😝 than take a stroll around one of your vast country estates in complete privacy?

She could even be taken for a drive in a carriage or pony and trap around the parkland.

If I’d been recuperating by taking walks round my vast country estates for over two months, yes, I would. I think you’d find farm shops sell more than cabbages and potatoes, at least where I live they do!

Kate1949 Tue 19-Mar-24 11:14:10

I've just seen the video on TV. In my opinion it's definitely Catherine.

Louella12 Tue 19-Mar-24 11:12:42

It's really not fake news.

Social media will be the death of us.

HelterSkelter1 Tue 19-Mar-24 11:09:50

Did she queue to pay?? Surely there must have been a GN there that morning to put us out of our misery???

And could they have risked a member of Joe Public ringing the tabloids to tip them off for a fee.

Would her PR team adviise it was a sensible move as she is staying out of the limelight till after Easter. This thread is nothing to do with her illness or recovery or really her at all. The question is it just Fake News

Louella12 Tue 19-Mar-24 10:56:05

I'm surprised people find it odd she'd go to the farm shop. A welcome bit of normality for her.

Also I'm not surprised at the apparent lack of interest in them. The majority of us are polite and no doubt a bit of nudging elbows was going on but not many would confront them.

I certainly wouldn't.

If it is then they surely must have known that whilst shop employees could be relied on to keep quiet, they would be seen by members of the public who would not keep quiet.

Who seem to be ignoring them completely.

Quite! Those people sitting around never batted an eyelid as they walked past.

If you are as wealthy as them, honestly, would you bother going down to the farm shop to buy your bread and veggies when you have staff to do that? If Kate felt she needed fresh air they have acres of land to enjoy a walk away from prying eyes. They’ve always said she would not appear in public until after Easter anyway.

Well, yes you would if you’d been stuck at home for over two months, you’d be desperate to go for a little stroll around a shop. I would anyway.

But was she wearing her rings?

I don't know if it is her, I don't care if it is her. Much as I dislike the RF I do think it might be nice to leave the poor woman in peace for a bit. If she was in normal employment and recovering her health her employer would have to stay away from her and not hassle her. I think in this case the public should regard themselves as her employer and leave her alone.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
