Kate Middleton

's fleeting reappearance

.

The Princess of Wales was photographed this Monday when she, along with Prince William, left Windsor Castle in an official vehicle.

According to her office, the two were heading to celebrations organized in London to mark Commonwealth Day.

Although Kate was not expected to attend the public events, she could have a private meeting on her agenda.

In this Monday's image, Kate Middleton can be seen through the window

sitting in the back seat

, to the left of the heir to the British Crown.

The image was taken a few hours after the controversy sparked by the family photograph that she released on Sunday.

It was

a family photo in which she posed sitting with

the couple's three children.

Hours after its broadcast,

the main agencies withdrew it

because it showed signs of having been manipulated.

Given the crisis that arose, Kate Middleton herself

admitted this Monday that she herself had retouched the image

.

"Like many amateur photographers, from time to time I experiment with editing," he says in the statement released this morning, in which he also apologizes "for any confusion" caused by the "slight adjustments" he made.

The controversy lies in the fact that the image that the Princess of Wales retouched was the first in which she was seen, appearing healthy and smiling, since she underwent abdominal surgery in mid-January about which more information was provided.

This slip in terms of reputation for the British Royal Family has contributed to increasing rumors about Kate Middleton's condition at a time when, in addition

, King Charles is being treated for cancer, the details of which are also unknown.
