Princess Kate Middleton took responsibility for a retouched photo on Monday March 11, which showed her on Sunday with her children. The photo had been unpublished by the major press agencies due to its alterations.
In the United Kingdom, it was the first official photo of the princess, who has not been seen in public since Christmas, and underwent abdominal surgery in January. Instead of reassuring about her state of health, this altered photo had the opposite effect, and caused a media storm, a few days after an announcement about the princess at an official event in June.
