Agencies withdraw Kate's photo, 'it was manipulated' - News. Sky News reports it, 'Reuters and AP ask for it to be eliminated' The photo was sent to agencies explaining that it had been taken by Prince William earlier this week.

Kate underwent an unspecified abdominal surgery on January 16th at the London Clinic, where she then remained hospitalized for 13 nights, with a rest period until at least after Easter. The last time the future queen was photographed in public was during a walk in Sandringham on Christmas Day.
