The Princess of Wales has found herself at the centre of a media storm amid a break from royal duties in light of a ‘planned abdominal surgery’.
Princess of Wales Kate Middleton found herself at the centre of a media storm after the publication of a photograph allegedly taken by her husband, Prince William, to mark Mother’s Day in the UK.
The image, which featured the Princess with her three children, was intended to celebrate the occasion but instead stirred controversy and fuelled conspiracies surrounding her absence from the public sphere. To add fuel to the fire, four prominent news agencies ‘killed’ the photo — a term used in the media to denote that the agencies removed it from circulation.
