Mystery Surrounds Kate’s Recent Appearance!

Lastly. This is a hint that the Princess of Wales is, if not quite ready to return to her royal responsibilities, then at least well on the road to recovery, following weeks of mounting concern about her health.

Here, she’s beaming for a quintessential fashionable Mother’s Day photo with her three kids. For the occasion, she even managed to fit into a pair of slim pants. When you are recuperating after a major surgery, that is quite an accomplishment. And extremely individual.

It is also noteworthy that she is not donning her engagement and wedding bands. She undoubtedly had to remove them during the procedure and kept them off for health reasons.

Alternatively, it’s possible that she has shed some weight, as many do following surgery, and is afraid of the rings coming loose. Let’s hope they are safe someplace in any case.

However, it’s wonderful to see her in such good health, in part because this type of image is just what we’ve all been waiting for—something to refute all of those ludicrous conspiracy ideas that are circulating on the internet.

Kate is delightfully blossoming, beaming for a very chic Mother’s Day photo with her three kids.

Is it, though? Like many others, I was thrilled to see it issued by the Palace early yesterday morning. At last, the remedy for all that silliness was here.

However, by yesterday night, this happy Mother’s Day photo had a whole new meaning. It seems that rather than putting an end to the rumors, some blatantly careless attempts at retouching have just served to fuel them.

The person in charge of Photoshop at Kensington Palace may want to consider enrolling in a refresher course. Because they have already made a joke out of things (see the Christmas letter sent by the Waleses and Prince Louis’s missing finger). But they’ve outdone themselves this time.

Louis’s fingers (poor youngster, not again); Princess Charlotte’s wrist, boot, and sleeve; and even the Princess’s hair. Everything is a little bit, well, wacky.

To the extent that eminent international photo agencies have mandated its removal from distribution due to alleged digital manipulation.

Therefore, what should have been the ideal reaction to the extremely intrusive paparazzo photo that was purportedly taken of her last week on the school run (which the British Press, understandably, wouldn’t touch with a barge pole) has instead led to the escalation of rumors.

It all points to yet another failure on the part of whoever is advising the Waleses, especially considering how poorly the Palace has handled her convalescence (especially that hiccup with the Ministry of Defence, which stated the princess would be appearing in June at Trooping the Colour, only to find itself slapped down by Kensington Palace).

Not to mention the strange occasion when Prince William abruptly canceled his plans to attend the memorial ceremony for his godfather, King Constantine of Greece. William must find it annoying, but he can’t act in such a way without anticipating a response.

During this period of the King’s illness treatment, I don’t think the Waleses realize how important they are to the Royal Family. By all accounts, His Majesty is doing well; in fact, I have heard that he is very happy. Nevertheless, the baton is given to his son, although momentarily.

Furthermore, the majority of Britons have a very positive opinion of the Princess of Wales, even in spite of the Montecito moaners, Harry and Meghan, best efforts to paint her in a bad image.

The country cares about the Princess and has invested in William. We’re glad to see her smiling, and we hope her recuperation goes well. But whomever is responsible for these careless mistakes ought to straighten things up immediately.
