Princess Kate admitted and apologized for editing a photo of her and her children released by the royal family.
Princess Kate, 42, has not been seen in public since her last church service at Christmas and she also underwent abdominal surgery in January. This has sparked speculation about her health, especially on social media.
However, the photo caused controversy because of some unreasonable points such as Princess Charlotte's left arm was misaligned with her sleeve and part of her sleeve was also missing. The little princess's hair was missing a part at the shoulder, while Princess Kate's zipper was misaligned.

AFP, Getty, AP and Reuters later removed the photo, saying it violated their photo policies. The British news agency PA also announced on March 11 that it had removed the photo because Kensington Palace had not clarified the inappropriate points.
Minutes after PA's move, Kensington Palace's account posted a statement from Princess Kate.
"Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally edit my own photos. I would like to apologize if the family photo we shared yesterday caused any concern," the statement said.
Peter Hunt, a former BBC royal correspondent, said the incident was damaging to the William and Kate family. "They know that any photo they release will receive special attention. The challenge now is whether people will trust their next health update," Hunt said.
Kensington Palace said in January that Kate's surgery went smoothly, she was recovering at Windsor Castle and was unlikely to carry out royal duties before Easter 31/3.
The palace did not reveal the specific reason for Princess Kate's surgery, but confirmed it was not related to cancer. The British Royal Family said on February 29 that they would only update her condition when important information was available.
