In early March, Middleton, 42, was photographed for the first time in nearly two months and she then released an edited picture of herself that sparked even more concern.She appeared in the doctored image posing alongside her and William’s three children: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, for Mother’s Day in the UK.Several social media users accused the royal of undergoing a more serious surgery than the one the palace claimed she had — including a Brazilian butt lift.Others speculated that there were marital issues between the future king and his wife, alleging he had been having an affair with British aristocrat Rose Hanbury. (Hanbury denied the rumors.)Stars, including Stephen Colbert and Blake Lively, who had fueled the fire were forced to apologize.
