After all the speculation about Kate Middleton's health after her operation, a photo with her children should smooth things over.
But now the pressure is increasing.
Windsor – The relief was great.
Finally an official new photo of Kate Middleton (42), after a paparazzi snapshot of her in the car with mom Carole Middleton (69) only increased the concern for Princess Kate after her abdominal surgery in January.
But Kate and Prince William (41) don't seem to have done themselves any favors with the supposedly harmless Mother's Day greeting.

It was initially said that Prince William took the family photo.
