Kate Middleton spotted leaving Windsor Castle with Prince William after photo editing controversy
Princess Kate Middleton was reportedly seen leaving Windsor Castle with Prince William on the heels of the controversy surrounding her edited Mother’s Day photo.
PEOPLE Magazine, citing Daily Mail, shared a photo of the royal couple in the backseat of a car where William was looking down and Kate was looking out the window.
Kate wasn't expected to be in a public event following her abdominal surgery last January. It isn’t clear where she’s going.

William and other members of the royal family went to the annual Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration at Westminister Abbey in London, PEOPLE reported.
The sighting of Kate followed after her photo with her three kids was posted by Kensington Palace on Mother's Day.
The original post was credited to Prince William as the photographer, but as some eagle-eyed users noticed, there were some inconsistencies with it such as Charlotte's hand not lining up with her red jumper sleeve and some of Louis' fingers looking shorter than the others.
News agencies like AFP, The Associated Press, Getty, and Reuters removed the photo from their websites.
Kate apologized for “any confusion” the edited photo caused.
"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she wrote in an Instagram story posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales account.
