Kate Middleton has become the main protagonist of international news at the beginning of the week. Prince William’s wife has been away from the media spotlight since last December due to an abdominal procedure that she had to undergo in mid-January. An operation about which little information has transcended beyond the fifteen days that she had to be admitted and that she will resume her public agenda at the end of March.
However, the mystery that has surrounded the state of health of Charles III’s daughter-in-law has only put the spotlight on the British royal family and generated all kinds of speculation. Therefore, this past weekend, Kensington Palace published an unexpected image of Kate Middleton with her three children to celebrate her Mother’s Day.
The photograph did not go unnoticed and quickly began to circulate throughout the media and social networks. But what no one expected is that a simple family image was going to cause a new scandal for the British royal house. Within hours, social media was flooded with comments claiming that the image had been retouched. A theory that began to gain strength when the main media agencies deleted the snapshot from their servers.
The controversy, which once again generated all kinds of comments on social networks, was clarified hours later by the Princess of Wales herself through her social networks. ”Like many other amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing. “I want to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday may have caused,” she confessed.
In the midst of this media earthquake, the heir to the throne, Prince William, has continued with his public agenda, which after the announcement of the cancer of his father, King Charles III, has become more intense because he has had to assume part of the royal functions of the monarch.
This Monday, Kate Middleton’s husband attended the traditional mass commemorating Commonwealth Day, held at Westminster Abbey. This religious service has been marked by the presence of Prince William and Queen Camilla, whom we have been able to see very smiling throughout the event, and by the absence of two of the most important figures of the British monarchy, King Charles III and the Princess of Wales.
