LONDON, ENGLAND: After reports surfaced earlier this week about Kate Middleton and Prince William's casual outing at the Windsor Farm Shop, a new video has emerged providing a firsthand glimpse of their visit.

Obtained by TMZ, the footage captures Kate and William leisurely strolling through the supermarket-like place, appearing relaxed and content.

In casual athletic wear, Kate looked relaxed with an all-black look accented with pink. She walks with a strong gait, which is a good sign, considering her purported abdominal surgery. As they walk out of the Farm Shop with bags in hand, Prince William is by her side.

While their three children were notably absent from the outing, eyewitnesses described the couple as carefree and at ease during their time at the shop. Nelson Silva, one of the observers, recounted recognizing Kate's familiar face and discreetly filming the couple as they made their way out of the store.

Nelson Silva, says "I noticed a couple choosing loaves of bread and the woman turned her face and I felt like I had seen the face before. It was familiar. I knew it from somewhere."

He added, "I went to my car and as they came out of the shop I just filmed them. I think they walked out through a gate out of the grounds. They just vanished and I didn't see a car. I just wanted to share with my family footage and show just how normal they were."

Silva finishes "Kate looked happy and relaxed. They look happy just to be able to go to a shop and mingle. Kate looked relieved like it was a success going to a shop. It felt natural."

A recent grainy video capturing what appears to be Kate Middleton at the Windsor Farm Shop alongside Prince William has ignited a wave of conspiracy theories among eagle-eyed fans, who remain skeptical about the authenticity of the footage.

Internet unconvinced over Kate Middleton's new video

Despite Buckingham Palace confirming the outing as Middleton's first public appearance since her reported abdominal surgery in January, doubts persist among some observers regarding the identity of the woman in the video. Speculations range from allegations of a staged appearance orchestrated by the palace to suggestions of an AI-generated likeness.

A Facebook user said, "DNA test required," commented one skeptic, while another said, "That’s not the real Kate! She looks different."

"Are you sure it's her??? It could be an AI version of her" one person commented on the clip.

"Doesn't look like her. Looks like a lookalike, but, doesn't look like her." added someone else.

"She's the new loch ness. I hope she's okay. I'd be afraid if it was a body double," a social media user joked. 

"It looks more like Rose Hanbury to me then it does Kate," a fan of the royals said. 

"Don't believe half of what you see unless you see it first hand," another one offered. 

"Stevie Wonder can tell it's a lookalike," a user jested.
