The mystery surrounding Kate Middleton has left both royal fans and experts with question marks. When it was made clear that the Princess of Wales\u2019 Mother\u2019s Day picture was manipulated, conspiracy theories about her health\u2014and even marriage to Prince William\u2014spread across the internet, making the situation even more strange.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Monday, a video picturing Kate visiting the Windsor Farm Shop was released to the world, and the future queen appears to be doing well. Even so, after the manipulated picture, some are still doubtful, while others see it as a great sign that she will soon be back to her royal duties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rumors about Kate Middleton\u2019s health have been ongoing ever since her abdominal surgery was announced in mid-January. A royal expert is demanding an end to the \u201cappalling\u201d speculations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Kensington Palace announced that Kate Middleton underwent a \u201cplanned abdominal surgery\u201d in mid-January, royal fans were left in shock. Not only did the future queen undergo surgery, but at the same time, King Charles got treatment for an enlarged prostate, which later turned out to be a cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton apologized for edited Mother\u2019s Day picture<\/h2>\n

The palace has only offered the public minor updates on her recovery, and in the last weeks, the mystery surrounding her health has grown by the minute.<\/p>\n

First, American news outlet TMZ published the first picture of Kate taken after the surgery. On Mother\u2019s Day, the first official photo reached the public through the Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019 social media outlets. However, it ended badly; some might even say it was a scandal.<\/p>\n

The picture turned out to have been manipulated, and just a day after it was published, the Princess of Wales apologized.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother\u2019s Day. C,\u201d Kate said through the Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019 social media platforms.<\/p>\n

It took only a few hours for photography experts and social media users to begin analyzing the picture, finding several errors and examples of bad editing.<\/p>\n

Several news agencies, including the Associated Press and Getty, sent a \u201ckill notice\u201d (an advisory notice to remove or not use a specific photo).<\/p>\n

Kensington Palace \u2018no longer a trusted source,\u2019 news agency director says<\/h2>\n

Another news agency that used a \u201ckill notice\u201d was the well-renowned Agence France-Presse (AFP). Speaking on BBC Radio 4\u2019s\u00a0Media Show<\/em>, Phil Chetwynd, AFP\u2019s global news director, said that Kensington Palace is no longer a trusted source.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, absolutely not. Like with anything, when you\u2019re let down by a source the bar is raised \u2026 We sent out notes to all our teams at the moment to be absolutely super more vigilant about the content coming across our desk \u2014 even from what we would call trusted sources,\u201d he said, as reported by\u00a0Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On social media, conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton spread shortly after her surgery. Some argued it wasn\u2019t an abdominal surgery, while others claimed her marriage to Prince William was the real reason for her absence.<\/p>\n

As Kate admitted to having edited the Mother\u2019s Day picture herself, the conspiracy theories grew more extensive, and the fact that Kensington Palace didn\u2019t respond by sharing the original image didn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n

While Kate Middleton has received most criticism, some experts say she isn\u2019t to blame. Royal expert Hilary Fordwich told\u00a0Fox News<\/a>\u00a0that the palace is responsible for what she calls \u201cyet another public relations disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe certainty is that a \u2018slimmed down monarchy\u2019 means fewer are guiding the royals and those who are aren\u2019t as media savvy as they need to be,\u201d Fordwich said. \u201cIn our fast-paced world with tech-savvy media outlets, the palaces need to hire the best and brightest in such fields.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Kate had to apologize, the royal expert pointed out that Kate Middleton showed \u201cintegrity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this certainly isn\u2019t \u2018business as usual\u2019 nor what we would expect from a royal household\u2026 it shows great humility to admit one\u2019s mistakes,\u201d Fordwich continued. \u201cOthers might have either remained silent or tried to blame another. Kate issued a straight-up, no-nonsense apology. Many could learn a lesson from such.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royal expert says Kate Middleton made an \u201chonest mistake\u201d<\/h2>\n

Royal expert and author Tom Bower took it a step further, accusing the palace of not protecting Kate at all.<\/p>\n

He said that the Princess of Wales isn\u2019t surrounded by wise people and that the picture should have been handled by professional staff at Kensington Palace.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople around the world just want to bring her down because it gives them pleasure. And then, when she did, they should have got a professional photographer in to make sure there were no hiccups like has now occurred,\u201d Bower told\u00a0The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cShe\u2019s undergone the most very serious operation imaginable. She needs a long time to recover. And I fear that she has been under terrible pressure to perform and instead of protecting her, her staff in Kensington Palace, failed to give her the support and protection she needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Bower concluded that Kate Middleton made an \u201chonest mistake,\u201d which isn\u2019t a big deal. He advised the royal family not to release any more pictures and instead focus on helping Kate fully recover.<\/p>\n

While Kensington Palace appears to be doing its best not to release any information about Kate\u2014and refusing to release a new picture of her to calm royal fans\u2014during the weekend, Kate was captured on video.<\/p>\n

Royal expert brands speculations about Kate Middleton\u2019s health \u201cappalling\u201d<\/h2>\n

American news outlet TMZ \u2013 who published the first picture of Kate after her surgery \u2013 released a video showing Kate and William visiting Windsor Farm shop, a business about a mile from their Adelaide Cottage home. According to TMZ, the video was taken on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A visitor to the farm told The Sun, \u201cAfter all the rumours that had been going round, I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William, and she looked happy and well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The witness added, \u201cThe kids weren\u2019t with them but it\u2019s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.\u201d<\/p>\n

As mentioned, some have argued that the Princess of Wales shouldn\u2019t be blamed for the critical situation.<\/p>\n

In late January, only weeks after her surgery, royal expert Richard Eden stated that pressuring Kate into giving updates could come across as \u201cbullying.\u201d Royal author Angela Levin now blasts speculations about Kate Middleton\u2019s health, saying that the public is \u201crude and unkind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public are so rude, so unkind and so demanding, it is as if they own her and as if they bought her. I think it\u2019s an absolutely appalling way to behave towards someone who\u2019s been so dignified and dutiful. You couldn\u2019t expect more of her as a mother,\u201d Levin told\u00a0GB News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kate

\u201cYou can see her children adore her and as an heir to the throne, she adores William, so leave her alone. I think it\u2019s just appalling. She doesn\u2019t want the children to know what she\u2019s had. I think any mother would feel the same,\u201d.<\/p>\n

Prince William and Kate Middleton\u2019s friends left \u2018shocked\u2019<\/h2>\n

Levin added that since Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are \u201cold enough to know what is happening,\u201d it has become a significant problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve also had someone quite close to Kate who says to me she has given someone a kidney; it has nothing to do with her illness. I have no idea whether or not this is true. It does leave you very languid and not well. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s that because she did seem to be great until she went into the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angela Levin concluded, \u201cI\u2019m not saying that is what it is and I haven\u2019t had it proven in any way, but it makes more sense to me than other things that people have been saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

The manipulated picture Kate posted on Mother\u2019s Day contained several editing mistakes. However, the fact that she didn\u2019t wear her wedding ring left many worried, including the Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019 friends.<\/p>\n

A friend of Kate and William told the Daily Beast that many in their friends\u2019 group were \u201ccompletely baffled\u201d that Kate posted the picture without wearing the wedding ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship has always seemed incredibly strong\u201d<\/h2>\n

Mainly because it is \u201cguaranteed to get people asking questions about the state of the marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are often seen together at school events, and really it is remarkable how one and often both of them will always be at every match, every music concert and every prize giving,\u201d the friend\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship has always seemed incredibly strong despite the immense pressure they are under, so it\u2019s fair to say we were all completely baffled when the picture came out with the wedding ring missing, especially as it was photoshopped. It just seemed guaranteed to get people asking questions about the state of the marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n
