It seems like the Windsor Farm Shop leaves their Christmas lights up long after January.

On Monday, March 18, a video of Princess Kate Middleton and Prince William at the shop in Windsor was obtained by TMZ. The video quickly went viral, with royal watchers believing it was filmed months ago. Their clue? A wreath and Christmas lights.

One X user pointed out that they were trying to explain to their sister that the woman in the video was not Kate Middleton because her face appeared too slim. They speculated that Kate may have undergone weight loss surgery, but questioned why she wouldn't just take a new picture for Mother's Day. Additionally, the user mentioned the presence of a manger with Christmas lights in the background, which seemed unusual for March.

Another social media user disputed the timing of the photos, claiming that they were not taken over the weekend as reported by various news outlets. They noted that typically, Christmas lights and decorations are only up until the end of January, casting doubt on the authenticity of the images.

Good Morning Britain host Jonathan Swain recently visited Windsor Farm Shop to address the conspiracy theory surrounding the video of Kate, 42, and William, 41.

"Huts are still here and illuminated," he wrote alongside two photos of the market shared on Tuesday, March 19. "Princess Catherine was seen filming here over the weekend."

According to reports, Kate and William were seen at the Windsor Farm Shop on Saturday, March 16. A video of their outing was obtained by TMZ on Monday, with an eyewitness mentioning that Kate appeared "happy and at ease" while exploring with her husband.

The internet was split when a video went viral, with some royal watchers suggesting that the person in the video may not actually be Kate. (Andy Cohen also believes in this theory.)

Some people questioned if it was really Kate in the video, pointing out that a woman who recently had abdominal surgery and needed a long recovery wouldn't be carrying such a large bag. One person commented, "This is the clearest evidence I've seen. I'm sorry, but that's not her."

Questions have been circulating about Kate's health ever since she had abdominal surgery in January. Following the surgery, Kensington Palace shared that the Princess of Wales would be scaling back on her public duties until after Easter.

The statement sparked a flurry of speculation online regarding Kate's wellbeing. According to a source, more information about the surgery will be shared by the princess herself when she resumes her duties after Easter.
