Major agencies remove photo of Kate Middleton's reappearance since her operation because it appears manipulated. "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the past two months," Kate said on social media.

The AP initially published the photo, which had been released by Kensington Palace. But AP later retracted the image because, upon closer examination, it appeared that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP's photography standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand.
