"Controversy Surrounds Manipulated Photos of British Royals"
A photo of Kate Middleton with her children, released to celebrate Mother's Day, has been pulled by The Associated Press and other photo agencies over claims that it was manipulated. Speculation about Middleton's health and whereabouts has been ongoing since her abdominal surgery in January, with rumors continuing despite a brief statement and the new photo. The image showed Middleton without her wedding ring, adding to the speculation. Middleton's medical team indicated she would likely not resume public duties until Easter, later this month.
