The Prince of Wales on Tuesday hoped the focus would return to one of his personal causes after wife Kate was filmed smiling and looking happy while out shopping with him.
Kate’s absence from public life, following abdominal surgery on January 16, has led to wild conspiracy theories on social media about her whereabouts and health.
However, footage has now emerged of the Princess smiling alongside William during a visit to a farm shop in Windsor on Saturday, just a short drive from their Adelaide Cottage home.
On Tuesday William returned to the day job by visiting Sheffield to promote his project to end homelessness. The Homewards initiative is William’s “flagship project” and he is said to take a close interest in how its local partnerships are developing.
He visited one of the areas that will benefit from the project and unveiled a pledge from DIY giant Homebase of £1million to support hundreds of home starter packs which could include paint, furniture and flooring to help tenants turn a property into a home.
He was also due sit down with local landlords to discuss their support for ending homelessness among families.
The future king has identified six areas, including Lambeth in south London, where the project will try to develop local solutions to tackle homelessness.
In the video, obtained by The Sun, Kate, 42, was wearing a hoodie and leggings and carried her own shopping, while William was dressed in a blue coat, jeans, trainers and a baseball cap. Shopper Nelson Silva, who took the video, said the couple appeared “super relaxed”, while Kate looked “happy and relaxed”.
Another witness said it was “just a woman shopping with her husband on a Saturday afternoon, just like thousands of other couples across the country”.
Kensington Palace has made no official comment on the footage, but has not denied that it is of the couple.
The online speculation about the princess increased after irregularities were spotted in a Mother’s Day photograph of Kate and her children, which led to the princess admitting to editing the image and apologising for any confusion caused.
It also emerged today concerns have been raised about another royal photograph, with picture agency Getty Images saying a 2022 photograph of the late Queen with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren which was taken by Kate had been “digitally enhanced at source”.

The first person in England to be convicted of a cyberflashing offence has been jailed for 66 weeks.
Nicholas Hawkes was convicted under the Online Safety Act after cyberflashing became an offence in England and Wales on 31 January this year.
The 39-year-old, from Basildon, Essex, was already a convicted sex offender when he sent unsolicited images of his genitals to a 15-year-old girl and a woman on 9 February, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The woman took screenshots of the photograph on WhatsApp and reported him to Essex police the same day.
Hawkes admitted during an earlier hearing at Southend magistrates court to two counts of sending a photograph or film of genitals to cause alarm, distress or humiliation. He was jailed at Southend crown court on Tuesday.
Cyberflashing can involve offenders sending people an unsolicited sexual image on social media, dating apps, Bluetooth or Airdrop.
Victims of the offence and other image-based abuses receive lifelong anonymity under the Sexual Offences Act.
Hawkes was on the sex offenders register after being convicted last year of sexual activity with a child under 16 and exposure, for which he received a community order.
On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to breaching the order and breaching a suspended sentence for another sexual offence.
