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.“The teams are working round the clock to devise the Princess of Wales’s back-to-work plan after weeks of immense pressure,” a source told the Mirror of the Princess’s return.“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”
'We left the UK to spend our retirement in Egypt - now we live in luxury at a fraction of the cost'
06.03.2024 - 12:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A couple have found a way to beat the high cost of living in the UK by moving to Egypt for their retirement. In September last year, Tony Smith, 57, and his wife Doris, 50, left their home in the Isle of Wight to spend their later years in Hurghada, a beach resort town.
Since their move, the pair say they are now 'living the dream', enjoying a life of luxury and filling their days with travel, sunbathing, and swimming.
Tony says that the couple now spend much less money and are living on just a fraction of what they used to spend whilst living in Britain. The 57-year-old old believes that he and Doris, who have been married for 25 years, would still be working if it wasn't for retiring in Egypt.

The couple now pay £200 for rent and £13 for bills each month because they don't have to pay local taxes as temporary foreign residents. This is compared to monthly outgoings of around £1,240 per month in Britain - four times as much as they're spending now.
Tony, who used to own a cleaning business, shared: "Most people we know in the UK think you have to be well-off or rich to be able to live here. But the reality is if we lived in the UK we would still have to work."
Tony decided to move to Egypt because life in Britain was too 'stressful everyday'. In the UK, Tony worked seven days a week and started work in the early hours of the morning until late at night, sometimes beginning work at 4am.
He explained: "We had to be available whenever and go to the offices being cleaned to make sure the work was being done properly."
Tony said the 'horrible' grey skies and rainy summers in Britain were another part of the reason why he

RAYE: “You’ve got these CEOs and big label execs living in their fat huge Chelsea mansions, while songwriters you are profiting off are broke”
RAYE has hit out at industry executives for underpaying songwriters while taking huge profits for themselves.The British artist – who took home a record-breaking six BRIT awards this month – said that songwriters are left “fighting over scraps of publishing”.Speaking in an interview with the Daily Star‘s ‘Wired’ column (per MusicNews), the ‘Escapism’ singer said: “For an industry that profits off songs, you got these CEOs and big label execs living in their fat huge Chelsea mansions, living a beautiful life, meanwhile songwriters you are profiting off are broke, can’t afford rent and fighting over scraps of publishing that is sat in bank accounts for two years before they receive a penny, because publishers have kept it in there so they can collect interest and make a whole separate business.”The artist also broke down the payment model for artists and songwriters, explaining: “Every single song that’s released in the world, there are 100 royalty points.“The label will take, say, 80 points. The artist, in a good deal, will take maybe 20, 15, or maybe 12 and then producers get four points, but it has to come out of the artist’s points.“And the songwriter doesn’t even get one point.
