After the first photo of Kate Middleton released since her surgery was recalled by photo agencies for apparent manipulation, the princess responded to the backlash and shared an explanation. “Like 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,” she said NBC’s Molly Hunter reports for TODAY.

Gadzook!
Next – AI stand-ins for all. Watch closely!
Her clone won't be ready until after Easter
Uhhh. This is such a giant nothing burger. FFS. Can people not recover from surgery in private???? So what if she didn’t have her ring on in THAT ONE PICTURE.
Everyone complaining about the photo edits, are the type that edit their own photos so much you wouldn’t recognize them when seen in person.
They'll make it Megan's fault.
Boy this video is gonna age like milk, just wait…
Her wedding ring is Huge lol when you are hanging out with young children moms do not wear such a ring.
Kensington Chubbs here. I think Kate Middleton is older than I am.
The 🐑 will talk about anything that gets a headline,
Has anyone thought to just give her a call? “Hey Kate, are you doing OK? If she’s not picking up her phone just go over to visit… some people need to unplug from the Internet
Oh, so we're pretending that Cate is still alive huh?
Okay, cool, gotcha.
Totes alive!
Princess of Wales had nothing to do with the fake photo !
They no longer have Harry to throw under a bus so now they are blaming Kate. And yet Kate has been given months of UK press privacy but they couldn't stop the press from being so cruel that Megan was suicidal? Come on. They printed made up stories abut Megan to hide the bad behavior of Andrew and William. The whole institution is toxic.
Who cares. I can’t believe people r wasting their time on this stupid photo. Who cares
I work in medicine, and if (IF) she indeed had a "tummy tuck", this surgery is serious. This surgery is not just the skin that is involved – it is the muscles underneath. It takes 6 months to 1 year to heal as it is inside the body. My friend had this surgery. You have to wear medical supports for a very long time. She had 3 children and it is not uncommon to have such surgery in the USA. People need to give her space – and be kind and wish her well. She needs her family around her right now.
No body care about the royals in America
They killed off another one….At least this time it wasnt as public as when they took out Diana.
Get a F life people 😅
What am I missing? What's wrong with the photo?
Oh, she put out a message on social media.
Very well, then. Clearly Kate is doing juuussst fine.
Who wears skinny jeans after stomach surgery? No one
Please never refer to her as “Kate” again.
Catherine did not sit for this photo and her face (among other things) was photoshopped. We all know that the Fraud and Fuz photoshop like they breathe. I 💯 support media when they put the Fraud and Fuz in their place AND support media when they call Catherine’s bluff. We should condemn and penalize the Fraud and Fuz. But we should not worship Catherine. The Fraud belongs in prison. The Fuz belongs in a mental asylum. Catherine should be praised for her hard work on behalf of the UK, William and their children. We respect Catherine – but we should not worship any mortal. The world needs to stop lying about photoshopping. Be real, be human, be flawed.
Shame on The Today Show!!!! The public keeps crying out (unkindly) about Catherine not speaking out about her health, so she posts a photo trying to relieve the public’s concern. God bless Princess Catherine and Prince William. I’m sorry they have to put up with such insufferable negative attention…
No on cares
Kate Middleton: When she revealed her baby, Prince Louis to the world, Kate Middleton wore the same dress that was worn in the movie “Rosemary’s Baby,” which is a movie about a woman who gives birth to Satan’s son. Satan is the devil. These are the people, if you can call them that, that we are dealing with. In other words, do not believe any stories coming from the royal family or the elite-control media.
She didnt send that message that just came from her acct. Why send a message at all, why take a photo. They made it this way
I don’t think any photos on instagram is 100% real no a days. Always some filter or touch up and for this case they did touch up too. She’s the princess! Everything alway got to be spot on or u have exactly what is happening now…judging, speculations. Get over it
Don’t apologise Kate xx
You p have done absolutely nothing wrong
pfff lol that girl is gone yo… i will correct my statement if we ever see her comment herself in a live feed, AI is too easy and letting people speak for you while not showing proof you're alive is weird
What a great big nothing burger story!
How do people know it was Kate who type and posted that post. It could’ve been anyone. The only way for them to truly prove she’s okay is a live video of her saying that she’s fine,resting and recovering.and thank people for their concern and well wishes.
it looks like how your phone will allow you to bring color to a photograph
So what if she responded to the post instead of William. Just because he took the photo, doesn’t mean she shouldn’t try editing or own up to it! Wives are the ones who would normally do that, and she’s IN the pic, so why wouldn’t her husband be the photographer. Such far reaching to make unnecessary and unfounded claims about their personal lives. Maybe the ring is being cleaned, the the set tightened. Maybe post surgical medicine has her fingers swollen. Maybe she had a miscarriage? It’s none of our business.
