Prince William and Princess Kate posted a picture of themselves on their 13th wedding anniversary. It’s not new, but previously unseen. The photo caused a shock moment for many fans online.
It is traditional for royals to celebrate special events with one or more photos on their social media channels. Last week, Prince William and Princess Kate posted a new photo of Prince Louis on his birthday. Today, April 29th, William and Kate celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary. And of course quite a few royal fans expected a posting.
Prince William and Princess Kate: wedding picture causes a shocking moment
After Princess Kate made her cancer public with a video at the end of March, the future queen was no longer seen in public. Her last official appearance was on Christmas Day at Sandringham. And so many royalists hope to be surprised with a current picture of the two of them on their wedding day. But no.
William and Kate have refrained from posting a current family photo. Instead, they dug out a picture from their wedding day from the archives that had not previously been known to the public. The black and white photo caused a shocking moment on Instagram.
“You DON’T post black and white pictures of your missing wife if she’s not dead!” commented one user indignantly. “I almost had a heart attack because of the black and white picture,” wrote another. “I thought they were dead!” said a Royal fan.
Another user sees the posting as another PR fail by the palace. “The PR team is having problems. You know the situation, of course publishing black and white photos will raise unnecessary alarm bells,” he writes. In fact, Kensington Palace’s PR department hasn’t been at its best in recent weeks.
