"Kate Middleton and Prince William Spotted Together, Fueling Speculation"

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, was seen in public with Prince William at a local farm stand near their home in Windsor, England, following an extended absence. Speculation about her health and marriage intensified after her hospitalization for abdominal surgery and the release of a doctored Mother’s Day photo by Kensington Palace. Despite the rumors, Middleton appeared "happy, relaxed and healthy" during the outing, and she apologized for the confusion caused by the edited photo, which many believe was actually the responsibility of palace officials.
