Kate Middleton brought all the attention back to her for all the wrong reasons when she returned to social media with her Mother’s Day photograph after being absent since January. The controversy started when the Associated Press decided to “kill” the photograph over concerns of manipulation, which led the Princess to apologize publicly.
On March 22, Kate Middleton released a short but powerful video revealing that she is in the early stages of chemotherapy to treat an undisclosed form of cancer. However, netizens were quick to accuse the Princess of Wales of manipulating the video as well.
Although there’s no proof of any manipulation, there are concerns that the footage could have been edited after Kate’s latest controversy with the Association Press. However, it was revealed that the video message was filmed at BBC Studios and they dismissed the rumors of any manipulation over the footage.
A source at BBC Studios confirmed to the Mirror that Kate Middleton’s video was not edited and they didn’t have any editorial input into her remarks. At the end of the day, she knows that she must rebuild trust with the royal followers who felt betrayed because of her Mother’s Day Photograph.
