As people continue to worry about Kate Middleton’s whereabouts, a source says the queen has to put herself first. She and William have been under intense strain since Harry and Meghan left the family. “He spent three years waiting for the next dreaded media interview. Plus, they moved, the kids went to school, the queen died, and she became Princess of Wales. It’s no surprise she got sick and it’s no surprise she needs a break to get better,” the source told The Daily Beast.
Kate, who underwent stomach surgery in January, posted a photo of herself with her three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, in honor of Mother’s Day in the U.K. However, like many, everyone immediately noticed something: the photo had been edited within a day. She’d had enough. “Like many amateur photographers, I experiment with editing from time to time. I apologize for any confusion with the family photo we shared yesterday. Happy Mother’s Day to all,” Kate wrote via X.
She has been under incredible pressure for years and is now being hounded by the media for mishaps committed by others. How her office could release a photo of her without the ring when it was clearly going to be one of the most scrutinized photos of all time is incomprehensible. She is not to blame. It was their failure, and they should have taken responsibility for it. They will clean it up when the dust settles,” the source said, explaining why her wedding ring was missing from the photo.
“What will be most important to both of them right now will be the impact on their children. They are very lucky to have other parents at the school who are very loyal, but the reality is that it is difficult to hide that from the children these days – an impossible task. I imagine the Easter holidays can’t come soon enough,” the source added.
