However, Kate’s remarks left some royal watchers scratching their heads.</p>

<p id=”par-2_42″>After remaining radio silent for the better part of 12 weeks, the Princess of Wales shared her<a href=”https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/1767135566645092616″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> first post-surgery statement</a> on the platform X. Here’s what prompted her second public statement in less than one day on two different social media sites.</p>
<p id=”par-3_42″>In honor of the UK’s Mother’s Day on March 10, the Prince and Princess of Wales released a new photo of Kate Middleton surrounded by her three children to <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C4U_IqTNaqU/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a>. Kate was seated, surrounded by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.</p>
<p id=”par-4_36″>However, the photo was marked by controversy as the snap’s creative editing led photo agencies to flag the image as manipulated. In response, Kate shared her remarks where she explained the photo’s issues on March 11.</p>
<p id=”par-5_37″>“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_41″>The image of Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis remains on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account. A caption reportedly written by Kate Middleton expressed her thanks to the public over concern for her health.</p>
<p id=”par-7_25″>The caption reads, “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C.” </p>
<p id=”par-8_35″>However, in her post on X, Kate appeared to muddy the waters by speaking of her photography skills, not William’s, regarding the image. The photo was ultimately credited to the Prince of Wales, Prince William.</p>
<p id=”par-9_34″>Royal fans asked the palace to release the unedited photograph to stop any further speculation regarding its editing and who really took the image. However, there Kensington Palace has not responded to this commentary.</p>

<p id=”par-10_33″>Shortly after Kate Middleton shared her post-surgery statements on social media, royal watchers sprung into action. Thousands of remarks flooded the comments section of the post on X, and the reaction was mixed.</p>
<p id=”par-11_30″>“Someone in your press office/PR department needs a very constructive 1-2-1 or end-of-year review. This has, in absolutely no way whatsoever, made this bizarre situation any better,” wrote one follower.</p>
<p id=”par-12_39″>“She’s probably better at Photoshop than W. It’s all a tempest in a teapot! We all make editing errors that don’t appear until they do. More important, she’s recovering. And how cute are those kids?” a second fan penned.</p>
<p id=”par-13_20″>“The palace just threw her right under the bus, huh? Zero chance this is true” claimed a third X user.</p>
<p id=”par-14_23″>“If you can produce the original photograph, it will go a long way in clearing a lot of things,” a fourth fan writes.</p>
