The published photo, taken by the royal couple’s personal photographer Millie Pilkington, caused a literal shock in Britain. Instead of commemorating one of the princess and prince’s happiest days, it carries a somber atmosphere. It is black and white, which is more typical for death announcements. Given Kate’s diagnosis this is a very poorly thought out move on the part of the palace.
Princess Catherine has opened up about her cancer
“This milestone comes as Kate continues to undergo chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis earlier this year,” reminded The Mirror newspaper, but too late. Many people got the initial impression that they had lost their beloved princess.
“Why black and white? I almost fainted!” writes one of the followers, for example. “I thought they died!” wrote another under the picture on the official profile.
There has been uncertainty around Kate for several months now, the public is not satisfied with the minimal amount of information that the palace publishes regarding the princess’s health. A new wave of conspiracy theories has also risen in recent weeks, fueling the nervousness.
