"Controversy Erupts Over Manipulated Photo of Kate Middleton"

The UK Royals faced backlash after releasing the first official photo of Kate Middleton since her abdominal surgery, with news agencies withdrawing the image due to manipulation concerns. The photo, featuring the Princess with her three children, sparked controversy as users pointed out discrepancies, including the absence of her engagement ring. Kate's absence from public view had fueled speculation, with the Palace stating she would be unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter, following her surgery unrelated to cancer.
