The British Palace released this photo of Princess Kate on Sunday, 10
Kensington Palace in London published the first official photo of the princess Kate Middleton Since his surgery in January, the photo has been removed by AFP and other news organizations because it was clearly doctored. The publication of this photo comes days after a long and unusual absence from the media for Prince William's wife, which sparked weeks of speculation about her health. Through the photo taken on Sunday the 10th of this month, it seems that the palace was hoping to put an end to the doubts, especially after the American celebrity press published some pictures of her without appearing, and some confusion about the princess’s presence at an event in June. But several news agencies, including Agence France-Presse, decided to unpublish the image on Sunday evening after realizing it had been blatantly doctored.

“Obviously a photo of Kate and her children was presented today [domingo] “It was manipulated by Kensington Palace,” Agence France-Presse said to justify the decision. The palace did not initially respond to inquiries from AFP about the photo. In the photo posted on the couple's official social media accounts, Kate appears smiling and surrounded by her three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, sitting on a garden chair and wearing jeans, a jacket and a dark coat. According to the palace, the photo was taken by William “in Windsor earlier this week.” “Thank you for your continued wishes and support over the past two months. “Wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day,” which is celebrated this Sunday in the United Kingdom, says the message next to the photo, signed with the letter “C” for Catherine.
The last public appearance of the wife of Prince William, heir to the throne, was at the Christmas Mass held by the royal family in Sandringham, eastern England, two and a half months ago. Since she underwent abdominal surgery in January, no information has been available about the princess. Communications around Kate's surgery and recovery period have raised many questions and even criticism, and differ from the transparency efforts advocated by Buckingham Palace regarding King Charles III's cancer. Twelve days later, the palace reported that the princess had returned to her home in Windsor. Since then, there have been no further communications except for a brief statement at the end of February, amid rumors about his health, in which he said that he was “fine”, after Prince William canceled a public engagement for “personal reasons”.
