The footage of Kate Middleton’s visit to a local farm shop should be enough to quell wild conspiracy theories about her health, according to Palace sources.

A “happy, healthy, and relaxed” Princess of Wales, 42, joined her husband Prince William for a quick visit to a farm shop in Windsor over the weekend.

Video footage and images of the royal obtained by The Sun emerged on Monday and showed the mom of three looking well as she and the Prince of Wales, 41, bought some fresh produce during the outing.

While Kensington Palace has not yet commented on the footage, royal sources tell The Post that the sighting should provide enough comfort to quash ongoing conspiracy theories once and for all.

Middleton looked “positive and healthy,” an insider exclusively told The Post, adding that the sighting “should hopefully be enough to put an end to the outside noise about her recovery.”

Another Palace source told the Telegraph, “Finally everyone can calm down.”

It comes as royal officials are reportedly accelerating plans for Middleton’s return to the royal fold now that she’s recovering well.

“They all know that the world will be watching after weeks of heightened speculation and often outlandish commentary on social media.”

Since returning home from her two-week stint at the hospital, Middleton has remained largely out of the limelight, opting to recover in her home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

In her absence from public life, several conspiracy theories have taken root, which only intensified after she posted a heavily edited UK Mother’s Day image that received a “kill notice” from major press agencies.
