The Princess of Wales, who had been out of the public eye since undergoing abdominal surgery in January, shared a photo of herself with her three children in an effort to dispel rumors about her health. However, the image sparked further controversy when four top photo agencies—AP, AFP, Reuters, and Getty Images—issued a kill notice alleging manipulation at the source.
Kate issued an apology the following day, acknowledging that she had experimented with the image. Nonetheless, a close friend revealed to The Mirror that the royal is deeply upset by the unfolding drama.While Prince Harry has yet to comment on the matter, sources suggest he is hesitant to reconnect with Kate given the strained state of their relationship. Royal expert Christopher Anderson, speaking to Us Weekly, noted Harry's concern for Kate but emphasized that she appears unwilling to reconcile with him.
Anderson explained that Kate is preoccupied with her own issues rather than the rift between the royal family and the Sussexes, despite their once-close friendship. He also suggested that Harry may be reluctant to reach out due to past experiences of being snubbed during his visits to the UK.
"Every time he's gone there, he's been given the cold shoulder, and he's aware of that," Anderson observed. "I think he fears it'll just be the same situation all over again."
