Kate Middleton might be the world’s favorite extended Royal family member. However, recently the mom of three has come under fire after she had to take some time for herself after abdominal surgery. With the 42-year-old recovering from the operation, she was forced to take a break from her duties. After fans raised concerns about the Princess of Wales’ health, Kensington Palace released a snap of the mom with her children on Mother’s Day.

As excited as netizens were, a few Photoshop fails led to theories that she was unwell. Now, the royal has set the record straight on what happened.

Kate Middleton reveals her photoshop faux pas

Mostly, it is the Kardashians who are time and again called out for their Photoshop fails. However, once Kate Middleton’s Mother’s Day picture with her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis went viral, media agencies had to kill the snap. With fans speculating that it was an old picture and was poorly edited, the Princess of Wales took to X (formerly Twitter) to explain the whole thing. The mother of three admitted that she had tried her hand at Photoshop.

She said, “I do occasionally experiment with editing,” before apologizing for any confusion the picture had caused. While the snap made things spiral, the 42-year-old seemed to understand where her supporters were coming from. After all, they had all taken to social media to voice out their theories and point out the problems with Middleton’s edited family photo.

Middleton may have finally broken her month-long silence. However, the Princess of Wales will be returning to her royal responsibilities for the next couple of months.

When will Kate Middleton resume her royal duties?

In January, Kate Middleton and Prince William had taken a step back from their royal duties. It had come as a shock to most. However, it ended up only being a temporary thing as the 42-year-old underwent planned abdominal surgery. While the 41-year-old jumped back into action when King Charles was diagnosed with cancer, the mother of 4 did not. In fact, it was revealed that her recovery period would last until the end of March.

Although the palace did not confirm an appearance for Middleton anytime soon, it was revealed that she could grace the inspection of the soldiers before the Trooping the Colours parade in June. She may not be ready to jump back into her royal responsibilities yet. However, the mom of four seems to be slowly getting back out there after she was spotted for the first time since January.
