No sweat off Kate Middleton’s back.
The Princess of Wales is reportedly unfazed by the viral conspiracy theories spreading on social media deeming her and Prince William’s weekend outing “fake.”
Visiting a farm stand in Windsor on Saturday was the “right move” despite trolls claiming she used a body double, a friend of hers told the Daily Beast on Thursday.
“There’s nothing you can do these days about a bunch of headbangers who have a vested interest in keeping the conspiracies going,” the pal said.
“Ultimately she is fine and she needed that to be seen.”
A royal source predicted that Kate, 42, and her husband, 41, are “nearly on the other side” of the scandal.
“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 Mother’s Day photo and subsequent apology were a “significant cock-up.”
Controversial portrait aside, they believe 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 when Middleton stepped back from the public eye while recovering from abdominal surgery.
With speculation ramping up following the Mother’s Day photo and the outing, Andy Cohen, Piers Morgan and more stars have chimed in.
The Bravo executive declared “that ain’t Kate” when photos emerged, 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.”
