William, 41, has sidestepped questions about his wife's health and her recovery from an unspecified medical problem.

Things got even weirder when Kensington Palace posted a photo of Middleton smiling with her kids on Mother's Day.

The photo was later recalled by news outlets, which said the snapshot had been “manipulated”.

An “assassination notice” published by the AP stated, “On investigation, the source appears to have tampered with the image.”

Middleton's new look at the farm shop isn't the photo of him with the “copy of the day's paper” that Oliver wanted.

But witnesses told the Sun, “After all the rumours, I was stunned to see them there. Kate was shopping with William, she was happy, she was fine.
