The plot thickens when it comes to the mystery surrounding Kate Middleton’s recovery from her “planned abdominal procedure” in January. Strange reports have emerged claiming that multiple photo and news agencies, including the Associated Press and Getty Images, have withdrawn a photo of the Princess of Wales that was circulated by Kensington Palace on Mother’s Day in the UK. The reason? There is strong suspicion that the photo may have been manipulated.
Several photo agencies have taken the bold step of pulling the photo, with the Associated Press even sending out a notification to journalists and outlets worldwide, stating their belief that the image may have been tampered with. The details are alarming, and upon closer inspection, certain flaws become evident. Internet users, particularly those on X, have discovered further inconsistencies in the picture, suggesting that it may have been generated by artificial intelligence, despite the Palace’s insistence that it was taken by Prince William.
The Royal Family has been working hard to address concerns about Kate Middleton’s health since her surgery in January. However, the lack of information surrounding her condition has led to an increase in conspiracy theories, with some claiming that the truth is being withheld from the public. Kensington Palace released a statement earlier stating that Kate would not be involved in any royal engagements until after Easter, but the fact that she had not been seen since Christmas raised concerns. A grainy photo taken last week only seemed to add to the unease.
The removal of the Mother’s Day photo has further fueled speculation about Kate’s well-being. The Palace reiterated their stance that she is recovering well, but this latest incident with the picture has done little to support their claims. The Royal Family may find it difficult to quell the rumors surrounding Kate’s condition.
