It shows the Duchess of Cambridge accepting a teddy from Diane Burton, saying: "Oh is that for us? Thank you very much, that is very sweet of you."

The video – which can be viewed below – put a stop to the rumours splashed across the world's media after Sandra Cook, of Grimsby, who was next to Diane in the crowd, was reported as claiming to overhear the Duchess saying: "Thank you, I will take that for my d..."

Our footage was captured by royalist Lisa Hewson, 32, of Healing, who was standing between Sandra and Diane in the crowds outside the Heritage Fishing Centre.

Lisa, an insurance worker, had secretly hoped to get a reaction from the Duchess.

Speaking at the time she said: "I hope Kate may see this and think there are some decent people who want the best for her.

"Maybe she might send me a little note or even an MBE, although I think that might be doubtful!"

    “How embarrasing!!! You called The Palace??!!!! Really??!!! Should be ashamed of yourselves. Probably wont get another Royal visit again after the GT's handling of this. No dignity whatsoever.”

    “It seem the GT are deaf to criticisms. It just blunders on.
    What a cheap and tacky publication this has become.”

    “Here we go again. Error, comment could not be... does not support this property or method.
    Please do endeavour to smarten up GT. I don't purchase the paper version myself, its not worth it. I receive it second hand. I think you are well aware of the purpose I put it to, rather fitting.”

    “Could be a case of burying other articles in the back pages. The paper version is at the newsagents for 5am, printed out of town, I think it is Leicester. At best the news is yesterday or beyond. Journalists seem to be a bit shy of a shilling. John Norton was a up and coming, need more like him. I wonder what happened to him.”
