A farm shop photo of Kate Middleton did the very opposite of putting those conspiracy theories to bed – 27 favourite responses
Welcome to day nine of the great Kate Middleton mystery, where the publication of a photo of the Princess of Wales intended to put all those conspiracy theories to bed had precisely the opposite effect. To the great surprise of no-one anywhere, obviously.
It came as video emerged of the Princess of Wales and her husband William apparently on a trip to a Windsor farm shop.
But there was something about the footage which left people not entirely convinced it was the happy couple. See if you can spot it.

And there were basically three different schools of thought.
1. That’s Kate.
2. That’s a Kate lookalike.
3. That’s not even a Kate lookalike.
Lots of people were asking questions like this.

My thing is—if this is indeed “Kate Middleton” why would a woman who JUST GOT abdominal surgery that needed such a long recovery be carrying a large bag like this??? pic.twitter.com/lS1zeWUH8w

And, well, slightly fewer people were asking questions like this.
Both photos were of them in flat shoes. Anyone notice an obvious height issue here! Look at where Kates eyes fall against William

Leading lots – and lots – of people to say stuff like this.

I might have to tap out of this whole Kate Middleton thing because I genuinely, hand on heart, do not think these pics look like the same woman & it’s making me feel like I’m losing my mind. Like, I’m not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but that is not her?? pic.twitter.com/NMmmMIZf3T

And these people surely said it best.

I’m not saying that this is not Kate Middleton. I’m just saying that if it was revealed it’s not Kate Middleton, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. pic.twitter.com/7yGPlayAzk

Buckingham Palace: “These rumours are getting out of hand. We need to release some of the blurriest 0.3 MP Nokia 7650 footage imaginable of a woman who looks only vaguely like Kate. Have it shot from behind some parked cars. Nobody recognises them. Yeah, that’ll sort it.”

They should’ve just paid Steven Spielberg to fake a video of Kate because that TMZ video just made everything worse.

New Kate is younger, slimmer, taller, and faster. I want whatever she had. https://t.co/H7jCEn8Zs2

After weeks of weird evasiveness, I have been photographed outside from a great distance. I trust this resolves everyone’s concerns

“these Kate Middleton pics will silence internet critics” I don’t think u understand how badly you’ve fucked this. there are now people on the internet who could SHAKE HER HAND and still claim she’s four cats in a wig
