Is Kate Middleton hiding in Stellenbosch?
Theories about Kate Middleton continue to swirl all over social media and Stellenbosch Municipality came for their piece of the pie.
Conspiracy theories continue to swirl surrounding the alleged “disappearance” of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. And joining in on the internet banter is the X account of the Stellenbosch municipality in the Western Cape.
Kate – who is married to Prince William – had social media sleuths in meltdown mode after a Photoshopped image of her went viral over the weekend.
The mother-of-three has kept a low profile since news of her abdominal surgery in January. The brunette last appeared in public on Christmas Day at a church service at Sandringham.
WHERE IS KATE MIDDLETON?
From claims of a marriage split from Prince William to wild allegations she’s had plastic surgery, social media users have remained fixated on Kate Middleton’s disappearance.
And fuelling the rumour mill is the Mother’s Day Photoshop fail where Kate claimed she had edited an image released to the public. However, according to a post on their official Instagram account, the photo was actually taken by her husband William.
According to Time, Buckingham Palace announced that Kate had undergone “planned abdominal surgery” in early January. She would subsequently be hospitalized for 10 to 14 days.
The palace claimed that Kate would not participate in any public engagements until after Easter, which falls on 31 March.
However, it’s clear that royal fans are not buying it, with much of the timeline filled with “Where is Kate Middleton?” posts.

In light of the latest royal scandal, the X account of the Stellenbosch Municipality also hopped on the bandwagon.

It was followed up with another that read: “Kate Middleton really enjoying the sights and sounds of Stellenbosch.”
In the comments section, followers of the page were clearly amused.
“Give that intern a raise,” commented one.
