In the United Kingdom, the health of the Princess of Cambridge raises questions. She has not appeared in public since Christmas and the publication of a retouched photo rekindles concerns.
On the occasion of Mother’s Day in England, a photo of Kate Middleton and her children, officially taken by William, was to reassure the princess’s state of health. However, on the front page of the British press, it is controversial. For the first time, the princess appears without her ring or wedding ring. Furthermore, the photo has clearly been modified. Charlotte’s sleeve is partially erased, Kate’s zipper is not aligned.
The first official photo since his operation
A few hours after publishing it, press agencies removed the image from their catalog, unheard of for an official photo of the royal family. “It remains a lie, at a time when the public, particularly in Great Britain, is asking the question of the health of the Princess of Wales”, explains Éric Baradat, director of photography at Agence France-Presse. It was Kate’s first official photo since Christmas and since her abdominal surgery in late January. The wildest theories are circulating about him.
