Kate Middleton looked “happy and healthy” while visiting a local farm stand in Windsor with Prince William over the weekend, according to a report from The Sun.
Eyewitnesses claimed the Prince and Princess of Wales made the stop after watching their children Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, five, play sports.
“After all the rumors that had been going round I was stunned to see them there,” one eyewitness shared with the outlet. “Kate was out shopping with William, and she looked happy and she looked well.”
The spy added, “The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.”
Reps for the Prince and Princess of Wales didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
It appears no one managed to capture a photograph of Kate, 42, who hasn’t been seen in public since Christmas Day — just weeks before she went for abdominal surgery — save for a blurry paparazzo shot and heavily edited Mother’s Day image that received a “kill notice” by major press agencies.
Internet sleuths and conspiracy theorists, however, believe it was actually Kate’s sister, Pippa, who was featured in the paparazzo’s shot.
Rumors surrounding Kate’s health and wellbeing have swirled in light of her months-long absence, with many speculating everything from plastic surgery to divorce — the latter having introduced Lady Rose Hanbury to the media.
Prince William, 41, and Hanbury have been speculated to be involved in an extramarital affair, though neither has ever directly acknowledged the rumors.
The future monarch’s attorney, however, told the Daily Beast in 2019 that the claims were “false and highly damaging.”
Royal reporter and Meghan Markle’s close friend Omid Scobie’s latest, book, “Endgame,” also featured a mention of the alleged entanglement, 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 abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace indicated that she would return to public duties around Easter, though it remains to be seen if she will.
A royal source told The Sunday Times that the mom of three could address her health when she interacts with citizens.
“I can see a world in which the princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements,” the source shared over the weekend, noting that she and husband Prince William are “at their most open” when out interacting with members of the public.
“If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it,” the insider added, sharing that the couple do want to be transparent but will only speak out when “they feel” ready.
Other royal insiders, however, have claimed Kate’s senior staffers haven’t seen her since her mysterious surgery.
“A few of Kate’s senior staffers haven’t been able to see or speak to her, and they didn’t even know about the surgery until it was announced, so it’s caught them off guard,” a source told Us Weekly.
“Only a few people know what’s really going on, and they’re tight-lipped.”
