What started as a happy Mother’s Day celebration photo of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, with her three children slowly turned into a huge and controversial Photoshop scandal.
On Sunday, Kensington Palace shared an adorable image of a smiling Kate with her children. The image seems to raise questions about the health and whereabouts of the Princess after her stomach surgery.
Unfortunately, the Mother’s Day photo has now been pulled by The Blast and several other leading agencies, such as AP and Reuters, over allegations that it was doctored and “manipulated.”

Amid rumors and speculation about Kate Middleton’s well-being and health, Kensington Palace released an interesting photo on Mother’s Day. The picture shows the princess with a big smile as she hugs her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The seemingly normal image seems to ease royal fans’ worries and fears about Kate’s health, as it will be the 53-year-old’s first official photo since undergoing stomach surgery in January.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when people claimed that the image had been photoshopped in an attempt to end rumors of Kate’s absence from the public eye.
Various photo agencies such as AP and Reuters have pulled a new photo of Kate Middleton shared by Kensington Palace from circulation amid concerns that it was ‘manipulated.’

This was exacerbated when leading agencies, such as Getty AP, Reuters, and AFP, decided to pull the Princess of Wales’ Mother’s Day photo out of concern that it had been digitally “manipulated”.
In a warning issued by the AP, they demanded that the photo be removed from “all platforms including social media where it may be visible.”
Their reason? “On closer inspection, it appears that the source has manipulated the image.”
Kensington Palace has yet to issue a response to the shocking reaction the photo received from leading agencies.

On social media, royal fans have had a hard time researching the reason behind the possibly photoshopped image. This has also led to increased concern about the health status of the Princess of Wales.
One eagle-eyed individual said, “I’m not in on the whole conspiracy about Kate Middleton’s disappearance and the royals covering it up until they took down this obviously fake picture today to ease people’s fears. I do photography, and work a lot with post-processing/editing … here are some unexplained issues.”

Another stated, “I’m not generally into conspiracy theories but this photo of Kate Middleton makes me feel like a flat earther.”
A third person pointed out that this is not the first time the royal family has been accused of image manipulation.
Just a reminder that Kate Middleton (or should I say the royal family) has never been caught doctoring pictures.

Kate Middleton’s Health Reportedly Leaving Her Weakness

The shocking news of Kate’s allegedly doctored Mother’s Day photo comes after reports claimed the Princess of Wales had been left feeling “fragile” by her health condition.
Royal expert Jennie Bond slammed Kate’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, who recently appeared on “Celebrity Big Brother,” noting that his appearance on the show might affect Kate, who is currently recovering from surgery.
He told Mirror“Obviously whatever happened to Catherine, she’s probably feeling fragile — mentally as well.”
Bond added, “To have a serious setback like this so early in your life, it has to knock your confidence and so he’s going to be fragile at this stage in his recovery and to have this thrown at him. He must be thinking, ‘Why, why, why does Uncle Gary have to do this?’ I imagine he was really stressed about it,”
Before being kicked off the show, Goldsmith claimed that Kate was recovering and “getting the best care in the world.”
Kate Middleton’s Name Dropped From Color Attendance List

To add more controversy to the Kate Middleton conspiracy, her name was recently removed from the Trooping The Colors Attendee List after the Ministry of Defense faced a backlash for claiming she would attend the event.
A “practice” parade with Kate as honorary colonel of the Irish Guards was scheduled for June 8, but ticket sales were canceled due to claims that the MoD moved too quickly without consulting the palace.
Kensington Palace clarified that they were not “consulted” on the announcement and stated that any official engagement for Kate would be confirmed by them “only”. They reiterated that while the princess’s recovery is progressing, her return to public duties should not be expected until after Easter.
On the other hand, King Charles III who is undergoing cancer treatment was also announced to attend the Trooping The Color event; however, Buckingham Palace has not confirmed this.
