A few days ago, The Sun published a video in which Princess Catherine could be seen leaving an agricultural market with Prince William. The piece quickly went viral, since it was the first images of the aristocrat since she entered the hospital last January to undergo a planned abdominal intervention.
Although the Royal House has confirmed to the BBC that it is the Princess of Wales, hundreds of users on the network have questioned Middleton’s presence in said space for different reasons. Many do not believe that if Middleton is well enough to go shopping and carry bags, she has not recorded a reassuring video. Furthermore, there are those who believe that the woman bears a certain physical resemblance to Kate, but that it is not her.
The debate over whether or not the woman in the video is Princess Catherine has further fueled the controversy of recent days, as well as giving new fuel to speculation on social networks about Middleton’s true state of health and whereabouts.
Nelson Silva, the man who was shopping in the same market as the princes and who supposedly saw them and decided to record them, has spoken clearly with The Sun and has given his opinion on the debate that has been generated on the Internet.
Silva has criticized all those who conspire about Middleton and has called them “delusional”: “I’m not so surprised that these comments have continued, I’m just confused as to how exactly they can continue (…) This is a video clearly showing her and William. I saw them with my own eyes. “It was a completely relaxed situation.”
For the amateur paparazzi, thousands of people have spent too much time conspiring stories, which is why right now they are not able to see reality and embrace the truth: ”What more do you need to leave her alone? I thought that after this was published they would shut up, but now these people are very involved in the drama.”
The father of the family has also explained that he recorded the piece to show his family that he had seen the couple, but that he would never have expected the media commotion that it has unleashed. When he learned that said piece could help the princes calm down the rumors, he decided to send it to the media. For this reason, Silva is especially upset with all those who talk about ”doubles” or prepared scenarios, since he is a normal man who recorded a video.
