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!

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.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

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.

I shall now state the obvious, this is the Princess and Prince of Wales local shop they are known to the staff.

The shop staff would surely have blown the whistle if they were indeed dopplegangers

Am I the only one thinking this is getting silly now?

What will the poor woman need to do to stop all the intrusive speculation - have a DNA test? I suspect that even then some folks will think it’s been fixed!

I totally agree with you,with all that’s going on in the world and we’ve got all this speculation about Kate 🤨

I agree. Its no-one's business.

Two different people in my opinion.

Different chin.

The still photo in the Mail Catherine looks like the woman next door but in the video it is them for sure

I doubt the RF would have anything to do with looky likeys, but the tabloid press? And they attribute it to a member of the public to avoid repercussions.
Anything to sell copy and all of them are strangers to the truth.

Yes, that is probably it.

No, you're not the only one.

We're going to a farm shop tomorrow, I'll keep a look-out.

There are plenty of Kate look alikes, just google. There was a weather girl on TV who looked remarkably like her.

Could be a couple of look alikes just having a bit of fun. They may even have tipped off someone to be there to capture them on camera.

If you’ve been stuck indoors for a couple of months post op and it is only March, why would you go out in what appears to be a thin, casual top. Especially when “William” is well wrapped up in a thick winter coat?

When I first glanced at this, I had no reason to think it was a couple of lookalikes. However, where's the bodyguards, and why is Catherine carrying a large bag of shopping when she's recently had abdominal surgery?

It looks like Emma Probert behind William

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

How come GN is now resembling conspiracy theory HQ?

Cossy Tue 19-Mar-24 09:01:59

This is all quite mad!

Katie59 Tue 19-Mar-24 09:00:07

If she had not been carrying a shopping bag some would have said that she was still fragile and couldn’t manage.

The Prince and Princess of Wales must be seeing another side to some of the great British public. What is it with the media and the conspiracy theorists and their spectators that they cannot leave this poor woman alone while she recuperates from abdominal surgery. And NO, we don't need to know what is was for. Just let her be until she feels able to return to royal duties.

Absolutely

zakouma66 Tue 19-Mar-24 08:49:22

So, it the Royals are buying stuff from a Royal shop aren't they sort of wasting their time?

M0nica Tue 19-Mar-24 08:49:13

I am with Lemsip. Itis amazing how so many people who one thought were intelligent rational reasonable people go all conspiracy therorist when faced with a member of the RF.

'Her head is up and her long hair is billowing while she wears a cheek-rounded smile that seems to signal she is completely upbeat and cheerful'.
No, not from a bad romantic novel but from the piece in the Daily Mail. There is even mention of her carrying her own shopping bag as if she is a very clever toddler. It is demeaning.
Shame on the member of the public who took the video and gave it to the press. I thought that there was an agreement to put a hold on any pictures of Catherine while she recovered but I suppose that edited mother's day photo put paid to that. If a sighting of the Princess of Wales is required then let it be by an official photographer and not someone skulking in the car park with their mobile phone. Time to put the, often cruel, speculation to rest.

Talking of Hewitt, there's a Channel 5 documentary by the bodyguard of the time talking about the Diana trips to Devon, (my village!) This Saturday, 23rd if anyone is interested.
