Royal insiders are expressing concerns over the impact of a recent Photoshop scandal on Kate Middleton's recovery from abdominal surgery, which has led to her absence from royal duties. The Princess of Wales appeared strained in recent public appearances, drawing comparisons to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
Kate, 42, underwent major surgery for a undisclosed condition in January, sparking rumors and intense speculation about her health. The situation escalated after a family photo posted on Instagram for British Mother’s Day was criticized for being poorly Photoshopped. Kate took responsibility for the editing, admitting she had done it herself.
