"Media Agencies Withdraw Doctored Kate Middleton Photo, Sparking Controversy"

Three international picture agencies withdrew the first official photograph of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, following her unspecified “abdominal” surgery, citing irregularities with the image. The photograph, taken by Prince William, showed Kate with her children and was initially welcomed but soon faced scrutiny for inconsistencies. This comes amid public concern about Kate's prolonged absence from public appearances and her father-in-law King Charles's recent cancer diagnosis.
