As people continue to worry about Kate Middleton’s whereabouts, a source claims the royal’s needs are secondary to her responsibilities. She and William have been under intense tension since Harry and Meghan left the family. They’ve spent three years just waiting for the next dreaded media interview. Additionally, they moved house, the kids changed schools, the Queen died, and she became the Princess of Wales. It’s not surprising that she got sick, and it’s not surprising that she needs a break from it all to get better, the source told The Daily Beast.

Kate, who underwent stomach surgery in January, posted a picture of herself with her three children, Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8), and Prince Louis (5), in honor of Mother’s Day in the UK. However, people immediately noticed something off about the picture. It had been edited after a day. Fed up, Kate explained, “Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing. I apologize for any confusion with the family photo we shared yesterday. Happy Mother’s Day, everyone,” she wrote via X.

Kate has been under incredible pressure for years and is now being harassed by the media over mistakes made by others. How her office could have posted a photo of her without her wedding ring, knowing it would be one of the most scrutinized photos of all time, is beyond comprehension. The office is guilty of no regrets; it was their failure, and they should have taken responsibility. They’ll clean everything up when the dust settles, The Insider claimed, explaining how her wedding ring was missing from the snapshot.

What’s uppermost in both Kate and William’s minds right now is the impact on their children. They are fortunate to have other loyal parents at school, but the reality is that it’s hard to shield children from such things these days—an impossible task. I imagine the Easter holidays can’t come soon enough, The Insider added.
