Painful memory erased: Princess Kate set to make important social media decision in just days
Painful memory erased: Princess Kate is set to make an important social media decision in just days.
The Princess of Wales will likely celebrate Mother’s Day with renewed joy as she puts last year’s photo editing controversy firmly behind her
Kate and her family are reportedly looking to “erase” the painful memories from 2024’s Mother’s Day when the Princess of Wales had to issue a public apology for editing a family photograph shared on social media.
The controversy erupted when major media agencies issued a “kill notice” for the image, citing manipulation concerns
Just over a week after this incident, it was revealed that Kate had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment.
It is yet to be revealed whether Kate and William plan to share a new image with Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, for their social media followers to enjoy in 2025. However, the decision will be made in just six days.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond claims this year’s celebration will be particularly meaningful for the Wales family.
She said: “This Mother’s Day is one they can wholeheartedly celebrate as Catherine continues her recovery looking radiant and back to her vibrant self.
I’m sure the whole family will be wanting to erase the memory of last year’s Mother’s Day.”
Kate, 43, has been gradually returning to her royal duties after undergoing cancer treatment.
She recently marked St Patrick’s Day with the Irish Guards, where she enjoyed a traditional pint of Guinness.
During the event, the Princess shared candid thoughts about balancing royal work with motherhood.
Being able to manage that work-life balance – it’s tough,” she confided to one guardsman.
This appearance was part of what appears to be an increasingly packed royal schedule for Kate as she continues her recovery.
This year’s Mother’s Day falls at the start of the school holidays when the Wales family would typically be in Norfolk.
“If they are there, I’m sure it will be a day filled with as much outdoor activity as possible: walks and games, cycle rides and picnics,” Bond continued to tell the Mirror.
The simple family celebration would align with Kate’s reflections from last year about her illness giving her a new perspective.
She previously spoke about being reminded “to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted.”
The family celebrations are expected to include heartfelt gestures from the children, with Bond adding: “I imagine the children will be making hand-written cards – with William’s encouragement and help.”
The royal commentator suggested Prince William might arrange “a tasty, home-cooked, healthy breakfast in bed for Catherine, with some flowers from the garden.
