Over the weekend, Kate Middleton, 42, surprised royally obsessed fans by sharing a new photo of herself posing with her three kids amid her recovery from the planned abdominal surgery she underwent back in January. Shortly after the photo was posted on the Instagram page Princess Catherine shares with her husband, Prince William, 41, claims of the family photo being manipulated quickly started circulating among multiple news outlets (mostly involving Princess Charlotte’s sleeve), which caused the Princess of Wales to come out with a personal statement to clear up any misconceptions.
Earlier this morning, the royal mom of three posted her written statement on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s Instagram Story. In the now-expired post, Princess Catherine apologized for “any confusion” about the family photo. She wrote, “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. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day.”
