Kate Middleton recently expressed regret for sharing an edited photo of herself with her children on UK Mother’s Day, which led to concerns about her well-being. A palace insider revealed that Middleton feels remorseful for altering the family portrait and only intended to enhance its quality. She believes in transparency and issued an apology to address the confusion caused by the doctored image.
Following the release of the photo, several photo agencies raised suspicions about its authenticity, prompting speculation about Middleton's health and potential plastic surgery. Despite the controversy, Middleton, who has been recovering from abdominal surgery since January, spent a pleasant Mother’s Day with her family.
While Kensington Palace declined to release the unaltered version of the photo, Middleton's representative assured that she is recovering well and is not expected to make public appearances until after Easter. Although she has not attended official events, Middleton has been seen near Windsor Castle, most recently riding in a car with her husband, Prince William.
Prince William, who missed a royal event due to personal reasons, was on his way to the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, while Middleton was heading to a private appointment. Despite the photo mishap, Middleton continues to focus on her recovery and family life.
