Just in time for Mother’s Day in England, Prince William and Princess Kate have published a new family photo, silencing some critical voices. The two of them are also sending a message with Kate’s get-up.
It’s the sign of life that many royal fans have been waiting for. To mark Mother’s Day in England, Kensington Palace has released a new photo of Princess Kate with her three children, Prince Louis, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. It’s the first official photo of Catherine since her abdominal surgery in January.
Princess Kate: All the details about the new photo
“Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. I wish everyone a happy Mother’s Day. C,” the photo on Instagram was written. As the C for Catherine shows, the words come directly from the princess. The message of the picture is clear: In addition to Mother’s Day greetings, the Wales couple would also like to tell their fans that Kate is doing well after her operation. Rumors and theories about the condition of the future queen had been spreading online for weeks.

If one could assume that the Mother’s Day photo with the children was a spontaneous snapshot, there was definitely some planning behind it. Because little happens in the royal family by chance. Kate and William are also surrounded by PR and communications specialists. And so a little tinkering will have gone into Kate’s appearance. Instead of being elegantly styled, the 42-year-old appears in casual everyday clothing. Her blue jeans paired with hiking boots from See by Chloé look like the princess is about to head out for a walk with the kids.
Big grin and no jewelry
Catherine also avoids jewelry entirely. The future queen doesn’t even wear her sparkling engagement ring or wedding ring. Not surprisingly, the twelve-carat Ceylon sapphire in Kate’s engagement ring doesn’t exactly scream restraint. Kate’s relaxed getup fits in with the fact that she still has until after Easter to recover from grueling abdominal surgery. Any glamor would have been out of place in the current photo.
By staging the picture, the Wales couple probably also wants to make a statement against rumors that Kate is not doing well. She is surrounded by her three children, all four of them grinning broadly. The three kids are also dressed casually, George and Charlotte are wearing knitted sweaters from the Cyrillus brand. According to British media, the photo was taken by William at the couple’s home in Windsor earlier this week.
