There are many world mysteries, including Bigfoot and Kate Middleton’s whereabouts …
“The View” co-hosts compared the recent sighting of Kate Middleton to that of Bigfoot Tuesday as confusion around the Princess of Wales’ disappearance from the public eye continues to fester.
“It’s grainy,” Alyssa Farah Griffin said, referring to a video published by the Sun showing Middleton, 42, donning black athleisure while shopping with her husband, Prince William, 41, at a local farm store. “It’s like a Bigfoot sighting.”
Americans have been reporting sightings of Bigfoot since the 1800s, with many claims coming from the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Adding to the drama, Sunny Hostin joked that the woman pictured wasn’t actually Middleton but rather a stunt double.
“That’s not her,” Hostin, 55, interjected. “That’s her body double. You know the royals have body doubles, y’all.”
She read about the concept in “various places” all the while calling it a “security issue.”
“If you really close in on that video — which I have done, I have done some internet sleuthing myself — it’s very clear that the profile is not Kate,” Hostin claimed. “And if she really did have that abdominal surgery, why is she carrying that big, heavy bag?”
Farah Griffin, 34, agreed, adding: “When have we ever seen the princess carry a bag?”
Not missing a chance to join in, Joy Behar, 81, took aim at the future king and slammed him for allegedly failing to play his part in the charade.
“It sounds like William is not very bright,” she said. “He should be carrying those bags to make it look good.”
Hostin chimed in: “It’s her body double, so he doesn’t care.”
“We had some British friends in the audience the other day who were stunned about how worked up Americans were about this,” Farah Griffin went on. “So, I sort of wonder if the palace doesn’t realize how the other side of the pond is seeing this.”
Moderator Whoopi Goldberg, for her part, said Middleton’s whereabouts aren’t something to get worked up about.
“I did try to explain to you that this is not something they’re worried about over in London,” the EGOT winner, 68, said. “They’re not worried about it. We’re the only ones who do this.”
“Why are they not worried?” Behar asked, to which Goldberg responded: “They know where she is!”
This latest body double theory is one of several conspiracy theories that have cropped up since Middleton underwent an unspecified planned abdominal surgery in January.
Shortly after her “successful” procedure, Middleton’s office at Kensington Palace put out a statement saying that she would be recuperating at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.
Additionally, the palace stated that “based on the current medical advice,” it was unlikely the future queen would “return to public duties until after Easter.”
However, after nearly a month of no updates, internet trolls began to ask questions.
In February, Kensington Palace told The Post they “made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates. That guidance stands.”
The statement also noted that Middleton was “doing well.”
Middleton was later snapped sitting in the car with her mom, Carole, 69.
Speculation only increased, however, when Middleton posted a heavily Photoshopped picture of herself and her kids for UK’s Mother’s Day.
The photo was immediately pulled by news organizations, citing that it was extensively “manipulated.”
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” Middleton later apologized on X (formerly Twitter).
The senior royal was spotted looking “happy, healthy and relaxed” with her husband — who is reportedly furious over his wife’s treatment in the press — on Monday buying groceries after watching her kids play sports.
A palace insider later told The Post that the latest sighting “should hopefully be enough to put an end to the outside noise about her recovery.”
