It\u2019s been 84 long days of rumor and speculation, but Kate Middleton has finally been spotted out and about for the first time since her January surgery.<\/p>\n
The conjecture appeared to hit fever pitch last week after the debacle surrounding the image of Kate released for UK Mother\u2019s Day. Said picture was withdrawn by the world\u2019s leading photo agencies amid fears that it had been manipulated \u2013 the Princess of Wales herself later admitted to self-editing it.<\/p>\n
As a result, all manner of new questions were asked regarding Kate Middleton\u2019s well-being. Remember, she hadn\u2019t been seen since , and very little was said about her condition following the \u201cplanned abdominal procedure\u201d she underwent at the London Clinic in late January.<\/p>\n
It was initially stated by Kensington Palace that Kate would be returning to her royal engagements after Easter, though no further clarification has been given as to what exactly required surgery.<\/p>\n
As a result, the imaginations of the public have been left to run wild, and conspiracy theories \u2013 ranging from the semi-realistic to the outright laughable \u2013 have run rampant across the internet.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, then, the first sighting of Kate Middleton in 84 days will go some way to putting the most outlandish batches of speculation to bed once and for all. As per reports, the 42-year-old was spotted at the weekend visiting her favorite farm shop \u2013 an outing that saw her venture just one mile from Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.<\/p>\n
Onlookers are said to have told The Sun that Kate appeared \u201chappy, relaxed and healthy\u201d as she browsed products in the shop, with one person revealing that they were \u201cshocked\u201d to see her.<\/p>\n
An eyewitness said: \u201cAfter all the rumors that had been going round I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well. The kids weren\u2019t with them but it\u2019s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.\u201d<\/p>\n
As stated above, sightings of Kate haven\u2019t been \u2018a thing\u2019 for a number of months now, and the Royal Family have remained characteristically tightlipped as to the cause of her health woes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
