The Dublin Airport is getting in on the online conversation about Princess Kate and Prince William's recent visit to a farmer's market.

A post on Tuesday, March 19, showed a picture of the couple from their trip to the Windsor Farm Shop, with the caption "Great to see passengers looking so happy and relaxed this morning" overlaid on a backdrop of the airport.

The couple's outing in Windsor on Saturday, March 16, sparked some humor in a post. Observers from The Sun and TMZ mentioned that Kate, 42, appeared "happy, relaxed, and healthy" as she strolled with her husband. (A video of the Prince and Princess of Wales was shared by TMZ on Monday, March 18.)

This public appearance on Saturday was one of the rare occasions Kate has been seen since December 2023. In the following month, Kensington Palace disclosed that Kate underwent a "planned" abdominal surgery. She is not expected to resume her royal duties until after Easter.

Kate was recently spotted in a car with her mother, Carole Middleton, on March 4, marking her first public appearance since her surgery earlier this month. A week later, she was seen leaving Windsor Castle with William, although her face was turned away from the camera in the blurry photos.

Speculation has been swirling online about Kate's health and her prolonged absence from royal events. Many fans are curious if there is more to the story than what the palace has disclosed. Some have gone as far as suggesting that the car photos were manipulated, but Goff Photos, the photo agency responsible for the images, has refuted these claims.

There have been ongoing rumors about Photoshop being used by the royals, and recently Kate admitted to editing a family photo that was released for Mother’s Day in the U.K. She mentioned that, like many amateur photographers, she sometimes tries editing. Kate apologized for any confusion caused by the photo and hoped that everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day. This statement was made on March 11, after international news agencies were told to not publish the portrait.

As questions swirl around Kate's condition, some royal staffers have not been able to see or speak with her. They were caught off guard by her surgery announcement, as only a few people are in the know and keeping tight-lipped. The situation is shrouded in secrecy.

A second source revealed that Kate will likely address her surgery and absence when she returns to royal duties in the spring. Despite the mystery surrounding her medical condition, the insider shared that Kate is known for her transparency. She values her privacy and is not one to deceive others.

Several celebrities have joined in on the discussion surrounding Kate’s latest controversies, including Blake Lively. Lively, 36, recently shared a new photo on Instagram to announce 4 new @bettybuzz & @bettybooze products. She mentioned being MIA, possibly in reference to Kate’s Photoshop drama.

Andy Cohen also weighed in on the situation, reacting to footage of Kate and William at the Windsor Farm Shop. He tweeted, “That ain’t Kate…” and later asked his Instagram followers to vote on whether they think the photo is actually of Kate.

Editor's P/S:

The recent public appearances of Princess Kate and Prince William have sparked a flurry of online discussions and speculations. The couple's outing at a farmer's market in Windsor drew attention to Kate's seemingly healthy and relaxed demeanor, prompting questions about her recovery from abdominal surgery. While the palace maintains that the surgery was planned, rumors of potential undisclosed health issues have persisted. The situation has been further fueled by the couple's limited public appearances and Kate's admission to editing a family photo, leading to accusations of manipulation and secrecy.

It is understandable that the public and royal watchers are curious about Kate's well-being and the circumstances surrounding her surgery. However, it is important to respect the privacy of the royal family and avoid spreading unsubstantiated claims. The palace has stated that Kate is expected to return to her royal duties after Easter, and it is likely that she will address her absence and surgery at that time. Until then, it is crucial to refrain from speculation and allow the royal family the space and time to heal and recover.
