Well, folks.
It really has come to this.
Over this past weekend, Kate Middleton was spotted out and about in London, shopping at a farmers market with husband Prince William and looking both happy and healthy.
This sighting seemed to put an end to all the conspiracy theories about Middleton’s health… about two months after she underwent abdominal surgery and then disappeared from public life.

Except, no. It didn’t put an end to these conspiracy theories.
Why?
Because people such as Andy Cohen questioned the validity of this video, even going as far as to allege that the Royal Family used a body double to only make it seem like Middleton was out, about, happy and healthy.
No, really. People are believing such things these days.

The speculation has grown so rampant that Heidi Agan — a well-known Kate Middleton lookalike — has actually issued a statement to The Mirror.
“There has obviously been some speculation about whether it was Kate and William in that footage and stills,” she said in response to questions about the most recent Middleton appearance.
“In fact, my own social media has gone crazy as people think it is me, but I know it is not. I was at work at the time so I know that is not me.
“I 100 percent believe that is Kate Middleton and William in that video.”

So, that settles it?
Probably not.
The lack of information from Kensington Palace over just what sort of surgery Middleton underwent on January 16 has left numerous observers confused and concerned.
Middleton then vanished, only to unveil a new family portrait in honor of Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom — which turned out to be heavily edited.
No one really has any idea what is going on.
