Kate Middleton learning to live with ‘headbangers’ pushing conspiracy theories about her ‘fake’ farm outing: report

“You can argue that they should have approached the whole thing differently, but this is a marathon, not a sprint,” the insider continued. “They have decades and decades of this life ahead of them, and the message is that they intend to guard their privacy, whatever the media say they should or shouldn’t do.”

The source did, however, acknowledge that Middleton’s heavily edited UK Mother’s Day photo and subsequent apology were a “significant cock-up.”

Controversial portrait aside, the insider believes that “when you look back at 2024 in a few years, you won’t even be able to see this.”

Conspiracy theories began swirling in January after Middleton stepped back from the public eye to recover from abdominal surgery.

With speculation ramping up following the Mother’s Day photo and farm stand outing, Andy Cohen, Piers Morgan and more stars have chimed in.

The Bravo executive declared “that ain’t Kate” when photos emerged earlier this week, also polling his Instagram followers on their opinions.

As for Morgan, he has questioned how healthy and “blossoming” Middleton looked in the family snap.

“I know somebody who saw her that week who said she didn’t look anything like the picture,” the journalist, 58, says in TMZ’s upcoming “Where Is Kate Middleton?” special, calling her “a lot thinner.”

Even Channing Tatum chimed in via Instagram to poke fun at a wild theory the royal is pursuing pop stardom, joking, “You are not gonna wanna miss Coachella this year.”
