A former England cricket star has hit out at the "bull***t" rumours surrounding Princess Kate, and claimed he sees the royal "most days".
Kevin Pietersen, 43, has urged "cruel" trolls to "leave her and her beautiful family alone".
The former England cricket star lives with his wife Jessica Taylor, 43, close to Windsor where Kate and William were spotted shopping on Saturday.
Kate was filmed carrying a shopping bag and walking swiftly from a farm shop with her husband.

This was the first piece of footage of the Princess of Wales since her abdominal surgery in January.
Slamming the social media trolls, Pietersen wrote on X: "The conspiracy theories around Kate are absolutely absurd.
"We see W&K [William and Kate] most days and in the last couple days too!
"It beggars belief that people would be so ridiculous and cruel in writing BULL***T on this platform that are out and out lies.

"W&K are the most wonderful parents and as normal/humble as they come.
"Let K who is recovering from an operation recover. Leave her and her beautiful family alone."
A witness at the farm shop said: "After all the rumours that had been going around I was stunned to see them there.
"Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well.

Pietersen has previously posted about running cricket lessons at Lambrook School, where William and Kate send their children.
Princess Kate underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024 and has been recovering over the last two months following the significant operation.
The Prince of Wales returned to royal duties in Sheffield today, which was the first time he was seen after being spotted in Windsor beside Kate.
