Celebrities, including Olivia Munn, respond to news of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis
Despite rarely being photographed in public since her hospitalization, Kate recorded a message that was posted amid growing speculation and conspiracy theories about her health and whereabouts. The speculation was further fueled after major news and photo agencies removed an official, edited picture of her and her kids, released by Kensington Palace, citing that it did not meet their editorial standards. In response to the outcry, Kate issued a rare statement as she continued her recovery.
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she said in a statement shared by the Palace. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.”
In the Palace’s January announcement about Kate’s surgery, it stated that the princess was “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.” In her recent video message, Kate mentioned, “I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”
