Catherine, Princess of Wales photo released

What a delightful photo.

I notice the careful arrangement leaves her midsection completely in shadow. That keeps all the speculated maladies and surgeries still in the running. Whatever the problem was, it does appear that her health is improving, her color looks genuinely perky.

She's baaaack! and she looks good.
That is a new photo from everything I'm reading.

After what Uncle Gary said on Celebrity Big Brother...my theory is hanging in there:

I have to laugh at the absurdity.

My Dh was reading his morning news and people blasting her for not wearing her wedding ring and re wearing boots she wore in 2019.

Seriously, that is news?

Your theory is what?

The first picture is so grainy how can you compare that to anything?
I am genuinely curious what your theory is. Besides the fact you don't think the Mother's Day picture legitimate. Do you think she is pregnant?

It doesn't look swollen to me. Shrug. And by putting it in quotes are you saying the photo isn't grainy? It certainly isn't a clear photo, what is the correct word? English is not my first language, genuinely curious how to describe that photo. I asked my husband before I typed because I couldn't think of a word and he said it was grainy.
You just seem to have a theory. I am curious what it is and why you won't just come out and say.

I think it's a nice photo. And yes, I do think it is photoshopped some (mainly around her hands with the kids). But I expect photos to be photoshopped. I do think it's a recent photo. And depending how someone is sitting or standing and posing their head and shoulders, pounds can disappear easily. I don't think much of the supposed '20 lbs'.

pinklady "What I do know is 3 times she was in full glam posing for pictures 30 min after giving birth. Now she’s hiding out for 3 months for “abdominal surgery”. Then to appease the public, an obviously photoshopped image is released. It’s bizarre."

For some reason my quote thing isn't working.

It really isn't bizarre. It's very normal to leave hospital the day after giving birth if there were no complications and if you're royalty and can have someone come in and do your hair and make up, then why wouldn't they. Who doesn't want to get home to their own bed? And yes, she stood and had her photo taken - that's a British tradition which you might disapprove of but isn't unusual.

For all we know she could have had surgery for Chrone's disease or something like that...that's a major thing, potentially leading to having a stoma and the recovery is going to be around 3 months which is what we've been told to expect. We just don't know, but of course anyone can make up a conspiracy theory if they choose to. 

Just when I think the story couldn't get any worse for them, they do this. *shakes my head* 

At this point, short of seeing Princess Kate come out in stilettos and a crown while she bows to King Charles, I don't think many will believe she is alive and ok. The poor girl won't be able to rest and recuperate like she needs to because of all this drama.

I guess I need new glasses, or else I need a tutorial in Photoshop... because everyone's hands look normal to me.  

There is a little bit of fuzzing by Charlotte’s sleeve, but nothing terribly indicative of a massive overhaul of the photo.  I was just reading some comments and someone mentions Princess Catherine’s zipper is partially missing, but I think it is just her hair covering it.  Someone else mentioned fabric where there is supposed to be grass, but I can’t tell what the hell that was about.  Most of it is just ridiculous.

I don’t think the AP usually pulls photos and I have questions.
