The newly-released photograph of the Princess of Wales came amid online speculation about her health. Kate has not been seen at an official event since Christmas Day.
Multiple major photo agencies, including Reuters, Associated Press and Agence France-Presse, have pulled a new image of the Princess of Wales from circulation over concerns that it has been 'manipulated'. The Associated Press has told Sky News the photo shows an 'inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand'.
Details of the princess's condition have not been disclosed but Kensington Palace previously said it was not cancer-related and that Kate wished her personal medical information to remain private. Speaking about how reports the Mother's Day image was altered might add to further speculation, royal commentator Peter Hunt said: 'This is damaging for the royals. 'They knew there would be intense interest in any picture they released of Kate.
