However, what followed was not what the palace had wanted. On social media, users found strange errors in the picture, and experts claimed it was photoshopped. The conspiracy theories surrounding Kate are only growing following the botched image edits, and it didn\u2019t take long before the princess commented on it.<\/p>\n
The drama surrounding the picture has left William and Kate in a very tough situation. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what experts in the field found strange about it.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, conspiracy theories about where Kate Middleton is, how she is doing, and all sorts of things have come to light on the internet. The fact that the princess hadn\u2019t been seen since Christmas Day \u2013 and no picture of her had been published by Kensington Palace \u2013 left many royal fans to believe that there was something The Firm had been hiding.<\/p>\n
Kate Middleton health rumors \u2013 paparazzi picture of her raises questions
\nTMZ published a paparazzi picture of Kate sitting in a car with her mother, Carole Middleton, in Windsor a few weeks ago, but it did little to quell the rumors about how the Princess of Wales was doing. In fact, it only seemed to fuel them.<\/p>\n
There have been whispers that Kate possibly wanted her picture taken as she sat in the car. However, according to Christopher Andersen, author of The King, it was \u201cdefinitely\u201d not staged.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was trying to sneak out of Windsor with her mother and was clearly not pleased that they had been spotted by a photographer,\u201d Andersen told Fox. \u201cThis cloak-and-dagger stuff is only going to fuel more speculation about what\u2019s really going on with Kate and with her father-in-law, King Charles.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cIn its typically smug fashion, the palace issued a statement last week insisting that everything was going according to plan. They never explained, however, why Kate spent weeks in the hospital after \u2018planned abdominal surgery\u2019 and has needed to remain closeted away for months. It\u2019s all been terribly fishy from the get-go.\u201d<\/p>\n
