What is the photo editing controversy surrounding Princess Kate?

Princess Kate has raised questions from royal onlookers in recent months after she asked for privacy amid a "successful" surgery on Jan. 16 and subsequent hospitalization. The palace noted that Princess Kate was "unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter." The holiday falls this year on Sunday, March 31.

Last Sunday, Kensington Palace posted the first official photo released since her abdominal surgery in January, thanking their supporters on her and Prince William's official Instagram account.

"Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day," the caption read, in celebration of the U.K. holiday. In the photo snapped by Prince William, Kate was seated on a chair surrounded by her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5

One day after posting the Mother's Day portrait, Princess Kate apologized after the photo was removed from use by several major photo agencies, the Associated Press, AFP and Reuters issued kill notifications shortly after the family photo was published due to "manipulation."

Blake Lively, husband Ryan Reynolds have reputation for funny Instagram captions

Hollywood A-lister Lively and her husband, fellow actor Ryan Reynolds are known for their funny social media behavior, similar to her caption referencing Princess Kate.

During the Super Bowl in February, Reynolds joked about his wife's whereabouts despite numerous Lively cameos on television. The star was in attendance in a star-studded entourage of pop superstar Taylor Swift, who was present to support boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

"Has everyone seen the #Deadpool trailer? Also has anyone seen my wife?" Reynolds joked on Instagram Sunday night, about halfway through Super Bowl 58. Blake had a game changing photo caption of her own about Super Bowl 58.

"Last week I left my kids for the first time ever and wore pants that were shoes. I took pictures upside down and had no clue. I treated a friendship bracelet like a Flat Stanley for my husband like I didn’t realize it wasn’t ‘07. I borrowed more jewelry than the skelton in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. And I went clubbing. Now I know what my episode of the Twilight Zone would look like," she said in her Instagram post.
