In January, a message appeared on the Instagram profile of the Prince and Princess of Wales that the Duchess would undergo abdominal surgery. Without giving details. Everything was kept calm, the surgery was planned, so there was nothing to worry about. The duchess was supposed to return to her duties at Easter, but her latest photos caused a wave of speculations and conspiracy theories. And not only.

How does Duchess Kate feel? The rumors are getting louder
Rumors about Duchess Kate’s health after surgery exploded a week ago. On the occasion of Mother’s Day, a photo of her and her three children was published on the Instagram profile of the royal couple, with the description that it was taken in 2024 by Prince William. It is normal practice for leading British news agencies to later use photos published by the royal family on a licensing basis. However, the conditions are quite strict, interference with the photo can be minimal and so far it has always been so. This time, among others: Reuters noticed significant corrections, or even photomontage, and therefore quickly withdrew from using the photo. There was even a message that the photo did not meet the requirements. So why did the royal couple allow themselves to behave like this? Couldn’t any other photo have been used? Commentators theorized that perhaps the idea was to put an end to the rumors and ensure that the duchess was in good condition. However, it didn’t work out, and Instagram took radical steps.
Instagram reacts and warns. The photo was photoshopped
A blunt message appeared under the duchess’s photo:
Independent fact checkers believe the photo or image has been edited in a way that is likely to be misleading, but not because it is presented without context.
At a time when celebrity photo alterations are common, this is a radical move. And it doesn’t look good. The duchess herself wrote a week ago that, like every amateur photographer, she is trying her hand at retouching. We are supposed to see her officially at Easter, although many people report that she may not be able to return to her duties.
