Speculation about the health of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, do not stop increasing in the United Kingdom. The latest controversy has arisen following the publication of the first official photograph of the princess since she was subjected to a abdominal operation in mid-January. An image that has turned out to have been manipulated and which has caused his withdrawal from the main international news agencies. Prince William’s wife tried to silence the rumors shortly after with a message on social networks, in which she acknowledged having edited herself the snapshot due to his love for photography.
“Like many amateur photographers, I experiment with editing from time to time. I wanted to express my apologies by any confusion that caused the family photograph we shared yesterday. I hope that everyone who celebrates it had a happy Mother’s Day,” the princess said through X. The capture, in which a smiling Kate appears at the family residence in Windsor surrounded by her three children, was allegedly taken by Prince William early last week. But the image imperfections – the most obvious, on the sleeve of the sweater of the princes’ daughter, Princess Charlotte – have forced Middleton to recognize the mistake.
Lack of transparency
The lack of transparency about Kate’s situation, whose surgical intervention was barely detailed, has become even more evident after the negative from Kensington Palace – in charge of managing the agenda of the Princes of Wales – to deliver the original photograph. The only reliable captures that have been published so far of the princess have been disseminated unofficially, including the image captured this Monday, together with Prince William, in the back of a vehicle heading towards central London. Her communications team confirmed shortly after that Kate was heading to a private meeting.
The episode has marked a new prestige coup for an institution very weakened since the beginning of the year, with the cancellation of Kate’s official agenda at least until Easter and the withdrawal of the king, Charles III, from public life after being diagnosed with cancer in early February. All members of the active royal family, including Prince William and Queen Camilla, attended the commemoration event this Monday. commonwealth day to demonstrate that the monarchy continues to fulfill its obligations, although questions about who is at the helm of the institution continue to grow.
Royal commitments
The main doubts are in the ability of Camila and Guillermo to face all the royal commitments. The Prince of Wales was already absent from public life after his wife’s operation and canceled his attendance at an event at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, at the end of February due to “personal motives”. The queen, for her part, was on vacation for a few days last week to disconnect from an agenda full of official events, due to the retirement of her husband.
Despite his withdrawal from official events, Charles III has tried to stay present and show that he continues to develop his private agenda normally. This same Monday she appeared at the Commonwealth event, held at Westminster Abbey, with a message recorded on video, while the publication of images of her has been recurring since she was diagnosed with the disease. The monarch has thus tried to have a transparency gesture with citizens, although details have not yet been offered about what type of cancer he has or what medical process he is following to combat it.
