Will the real Kate Middleton please stand up?
Amid the frenzy around Kate Middleton’s disappearance from the spotlight, and her re-emergence in footage released Monday, many are doubting that it’s really Middleton, 42, in the footage.
Heidi Agan, 43, a look-alike who has impersonated Middleton at parties and meet-and-greets since 2012, told The Mirror, “There has obviously been some speculation about whether it was Kate and William in that footage and stills.”
She added, “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 it is Kate Middleton and William in that video.”
The Princess of Wales has barely been seen in public since her abdominal surgery in January.
This has prompted conspiracy theories about her whereabouts and long absence on social media.
It hasn’t helped matters that William, 41, has ignored questions about his wife’s condition and her recovery from her unspecified medical issue.
The situation got stranger when Kensington Palace released a UK Mother’s Day photo of Middleton smiling with her children.
The photo was subsequently recalled by news agencies, which claimed the snapshot was “manipulated.”
The family pic was meant to end the speculation about Middleton’s absence from the limelight, but it backfired and increased the wild theories about what was going on with the princess.
Finally, on Monday, Middleton was spotted shopping with William on a trip to a local farm shop.
In the video footage obtained by the Sun, Middleton can be seen smiling and looking like she’s in good spirits, walking quickly, alongside her husband.
She looks casual, with little to no makeup. Her hair is longer than usual, and she’s carrying bags.
But some social media skeptics still doubt that the footage is really of Middleton.
The hosts of “The View” called the video a “Bigfoot sighting” and Sunny Hostin said, “That’s not her. That’s her body double.”
“Doesn’t really look like her and DEF doesn’t look like the person in the car with Carol[e]. Even a little iffy on it being William tbh,” one royal watcher said about the video, referring to the photo of Middleton in the car with her mother, Carole Middleton, that was released March 4.
“That isn’t her,” another royal watcher asserted. “Higher cheek bones, different smile, different walk, slimmer build. Carrying bag after abdo surgery. Body double.”
But Agan, who is the most likely candidate to be a “body double,” is denying that she’s the one in the video footage.
“If the surgery is something that she wanted to keep private, then they [Kensington Palace] are right not to share more details,” Agan told the outlet.
“So she is alive, and we can be sure about it,” she added.
“It has all gone too far now.”
