A week ago, the royal couple posted a photo of Kate with their three children, the first official photo of the princess since she underwent abdominal surgery and disappeared from public view back in January.
Within hours, several globally respected film agencies had pulled the photograph citing concerns about inauthenticity. The next day, Kate apologized and explained that “like many amateur photographers” she had “experimented with editing.”. However, since royal staff refused to release the original photo (which was reportedly taken just two days before it was posted), speculation about what exactly happened hasn’t gone away.
The British Crown’s attempt to take over the narrative in the Kate Middleton case
This weekend, The Times of London pushed the story, noting that royal insiders have tried to take control of the narrative and get the media back on their side.
The newspaper, citing “close friends,” reports that The couple is “shocked and devastated” for questions raised about the state of their marriage (following the missing wedding ring on Kate’s finger in the photo) and, furthermore, that Kate could speak about her health at public engagements next month.
A royal source told the newspaper: “They are more open when interacting with the public and I can see a world in which the princess could talk about her recovery at her engagements. If she was going to do it, this is how she would do it.” A friend says: “They will want to be clear and more open, but they will do it when they feel ready. I hope that is his instinct and it will be his decision. “They are not going to rush them.”
He adds that the couple is expected to maintain their custom of posting a new photo to celebrate their son Louis’ sixth birthday on April 23. While Kate has often taken the camera to take photos of her children, this time she can opt for the services of a professional.
