Kate, the Princess of Wales, was reportedly spotted this weekend looking “happy, healthy and relaxed” as she visited a local farm shop.
The royal, 42, has spent the last few weeks out of the public eye as she recuperates following abdominal surgery.
Her absence has triggered a tidal wave of speculation about her current condition as Prince William continues to attend events on the royal rota.
Now a witness claims they saw both the Prince and Princess this weekend visiting a shop near their residence.
They said the Princess appeared happy and “looked well” as the couple visited The Windsor Farm Shop.
Speaking to The Sun, the witness said they were “stunned” to see the Prince and Princess at the local shop, which is around a mile away from their Adelaide Cottage residence.
They said: “After all the rumours 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’t with them, but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.”
The Daily Telegraph recently reported that the Princess has not ruled out making an earlier return to royal duty on Easter Sunday, when she may choose to participate in the public walk with her family.
