The Associated Press recently had to retract a manipulated image of Princess Kate Middleton with her children due to concerns over the photo not meeting photo standards. Reuters and Getty also followed suit and removed the photo from their sites. Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to the situation, causing speculation to swirl about Middleton’s health and whereabouts following a surgical procedure.
In the controversial image, Middleton was seen without her wedding ring, prompting even more questions about her well-being. This comes after a statement from the Palace in January indicated her recovery timeline and provided brief updates. Despite the official updates, Middleton was recently spotted by photographers being driven by her mother in an unofficial capacity.
Middleton was initially hospitalized on Jan. 17 for abdominal surgery, with her medical team recommending that she will not resume public duties until Easter. The Princess has expressed her wish for privacy regarding her personal medical information and has postponed any public engagements.
Fans have continued to speculate about Middleton’s health and well-being, with rumors swirling even after the release of a new photo and statement from Middleton herself. Fox News Digital’s Caroline Thayer contributed to the report, keeping readers up to date on the latest developments surrounding Princess Kate Middleton’s situation.
