‘What more do evil trolls need to leave her alone?’ asks shopper who spotted Kate as horror ‘conspiracies’ laid bare
A SHOPPER who spotted Kate with his own eyes has said that "evil trolls need to leave her alone" amid wild conspiracy theories.
Kate, 42, was spotted dressed down in a hoodie and leggings, carrying her own shopping as she strolled through the car park at a farm shop in Windsor.
Nelson Silva, 40, who filmed Kate out and about with Prince William, said she "looked relaxed" on her shopping trip.
Kate was last seen on public duty on Christmas Day and has been unable to carry out official engagements since having abdominal surgery in January.
But the Princess of Wales ended up sparking more hysteria and wild conspiracy theories over a Mother’s Day snap - which she edited using Photoshop.
Now, Nelson says his meat-section encounter with the Princess of Wales should end wild rumours about her health.

Speaking from his home, he said: “I’m not so much shocked that these comments have continued, I’m just confused 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.
"What more do you need to lay off her? I thought after this was released they’d go quiet. But these people are so invested in the drama now.
“They’ve put so much time and energy into these rumours and lies that they can’t pull the plug."
Yesterday trolls were still pushing their bizarre claims — despite The Sun releasing Nelson’s exclusive video of her at Windsor Farm Shop on Saturday lunchtime.
Some said it was a Kate lookalike while others claimed that it was too tall to be her.
Another crazy claim was that the footage was taken in December as there are “Christmas decorations” in the background.
But engineer Nelson blasted the conspiracy theorists as “delusional”.
Nelson added: "Even famous people are guilty. People with a large platform online — they can’t admit they are wrong now because they look so delusional.
"People across The Pond are invested and they must never have laid eyes on Kate in real life.
"But all these people in the UK too, they say it’s not her, that is it a fake person.
“Well I can tell you it is not. Are they now going to question if I’m a real person as well?"
"Are they going to say I made this video? Did I put a fake Kate there? It is ridiculous.
“At what point will they back off and realise they have been caught up in something that is crazy?”
Nelson had been shopping for steak when he saw the royal couple.
He said they looked “relaxed and happy”, adding: “I had about 40 minutes to kill and decided to get some produce. I went into the shop and at first I noticed their figures, they were standing near the bread.
'Lay off Kate'
THE Sun last week led the way in defending Princess Kate when she was being criticised from all angles over the edited photo saga.
Social media trolls were quick to attack the future Queen over her editing of a Mother’s Day family picture.
Media critics also weighed in with their opinions alongside the idiotic conspiracy theorists, but The Sun stood alone in saying: Lay off Kate.
Our front page blasted: “The furious attacks on the future Queen over her photoshopping of a Mother’s Day family picture are not just absurd.
“They now look like a bullying campaign against a devoted mum, recovering from a serious operation, who simply wanted to offer the public a perfect portrait of her and her kids.
“She meant well, made a mistake and fessed up. Fair enough.
“Now leave her alone to get over her op.”
"Then I saw Kate turn her head slightly, I was like, ‘Oh I know her’. They went to the meat section and I was stood behind them. They were talking to staff and laughing.
“I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but the staff seemed overwhelmed in a nice way.
“Everyone in there was very excited. It was a really nice atmosphere. I went to the car and decided to take a video to share with my family in Portugal.
"I had no idea that Kate was so much in the news. I just wanted to share the video to my family."
Nelson continued: “I started to record as they (Kate and William) walked towards the car park. They just looked very happy and relaxed together.
“William was obviously protective of Kate and I quickly stopped recording because I didn’t want to make them uncomfortable.
"My family sent screenshots of the rumours. I couldn’t believe how delusional people can be.
“It shows she (Kate) is OK and getting better. To be honest, recording the video was totally out of my comfort zone but it was only for my family at the time.
"I’m still not comfortable in the spotlight. But I realised that this video of two people happy and shopping could help make all these rumours fall flat.”
SERIOUS SURGERY
It has been a difficult nine weeks since the princess was admitted to hospital.
William, 41, visited his wife every day in hospital every day and took time off work to help her settle back home at Adelaide Cottage.
He has been carrying on the school run in an effort to make life as normal as possible for his young family.
Kate spent half term school holidays in February at Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, with William and their children.
But speculation was rife after William pulled out of a thanksgiving service for his godfather at the start of the month citing a “personal matter”.
A photograph taken by a paparazzi photographer showing Kate in the passenger seat of a car with her mum Carole at the wheel was printed on a US showbiz website.
Kate apologised 24 hours after releasing a family photograph with her three children to mark Mother’s Day after it emerged she had edited.
The Photoshop mistake led to a torrent of abuse hurled online at the Princess of Wales.
Princess Kate and William seemed like a normal couple... they were happy and relaxed, says witness who saw shopping trip
A DAD-of-one has told how he saw Princess Kate on a shopping trip with William.
Nelson Silva, 40, who took a video of the "relaxed" couple, was shopping for steak at the Windsor farm shop when he spotted Kate and William in the bread aisle.
He told The Sun: "I noticed a couple choosing loaves of bread and the woman turned her face and I felt like I had seen the face before. It was familiar. I knew it from somewhere.
"Then William turned back and I thought 'hold on I know this person'. I said to the staff 'I think it's them' as I paid.
"I went to my car and as they came out of the shop I just filmed them. I think they walked out through a gate out of the grounds. They just vanished and I didn't see a car.
"I just wanted to share with my family footage and show just how normal they were."
He said the couple had obvious "chemistry" and "were super relaxed".
"I didn't feel like they were hiding who they were. But they didn't quite know how people would react because there has been this build-up about their whereabouts and I got the sense they just wanted to be swift in there.
"Kate looked happy and relaxed. They look happy just to be able to go to a shop and mingle. Kate looked relieved like it was a success going to a shop. It felt natural."
The Sun understood the princess had been under pressure to produce the best picture she could, and led with the front page headline ‘Lay Off Kate’.
Sources close to the couple have indicated that they have been affected by the vile social media lies.
Experts have said the sightings are a “great sign” and show the country how well she is doing in her three-month recovery process.
The Sun exclusively revealed her farm shop outing over the weekend – but no images were published of the trip at the time.
It comes after wild speculation and gossip about her health and whereabouts left Kate and Wills “devastated”.
‘KATESPIRACIES’
Palace sources told The Sunday Times that Kate is keen to speak about her health battle — but only when she returns to frontline duties.
The friend said Wills and Kate had been “shaken” by the online hysteria over her health and the fallout over her Mother’s Day snap.
But they said the couple refused to be pushed into revealing details.
The pal added: “They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready.
“I would expect that to be her instinct and it will be her call. They are not going to be rushed.”
Kate was discharged 13 days after her January operation.
But as she recuperated speculation grew online over her health.
