The first official photo of Kate Middleton after abdominal surgery has caused something to talk about. Even before signs of manipulation in the photograph were highlighted, the public noticed that the princess was not wearing a wedding ring in the photo, which was published on her profile in celebration of British Mother’s Day last Sunday (11).
The photo shows Kate surrounded by her children, Louis, George and Charlotte. “Thank you for the good wishes and continued support over the past two months. We wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day,” the message read. In the hands of the princess, who embraces the heirs, there is no ring.
Internet users began to speculate whether the princess was without a wedding ring due to a crisis in her marriage. Palace sources told Town & Country that the scene is normal and that the Prince of Wales himself took the record: “A palace source pointed out that the princess was at home and the photo was taken by Prince William.”
TMZ pointed out that the princess could have appeared without a wedding ring due to “some inflammation she has experienced since the surgery.” Kate had an abdominal operation in January this year. Since then, she has remained away from royal commitments.
Despite the commotion, it is not uncommon for the princess to stop wearing her engagement ring, a relic that belonged to Princess Diana; she has been seen without it during public appearances, such as a sailing regatta with Team Great Britain in 2022.
The photo also generated controversy because it was manipulated. Hours after publication on social media, international news agencies such as Reuters, Associated Press and France Presse deleted the image from their catalog. This Monday (11), the princess’ profile said that the photograph was edited in an amateurish way and apologized for the confusion.
