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— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) March 11, 2024

The Associated Press and other news agencies withdrew the photo of Kate and children George, Charlotte and Louis, which was issued by Kensington Palace on Sunday to mark Mother's Day in Britain.

It appeared to have been manipulated, in violation of news agency photo guidelines.

The palace said the photo was taken by Prince William.

It was the first official photo of Kate since her abdominal surgery almost two months ago and followed weeks of speculation about her whereabouts.

Designed to quell speculation, the photo sparked even more conjecture.
