Kate said she was sorry for “any confusion” caused by the image, after her “experiment” with photo editing caused scrutiny for Kensington Palace and increased confusion over Kate’s extended absence from the public eye. The photograph, released Sunday to mark Mother’s Day in the UK, was the first official picture of Kate since she underwent abdominal surgery in January. But hours after it was released by Kensington Palace, four major photo agencies issued “kill notices,” expressing concerns it had been edited. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.”But the brief statement is unlikely to put questions over the photograph to rest. Those questions were briefly dispelled on Sunday by the release of the image, which Kensington Palace said was taken by William, Prince of Wales.
