Actress Blake Lively recently took to social media to apologize to Kate Middleton. While the world was focused on news of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, Blake used her Instagram Story to apologize for a previous post that had poked fun at Kate’s Photoshop controversy.
In her Instagram post, Blake expressed regret over a previous post she made during the frenzy surrounding “photoshop fails.” She acknowledged the inappropriateness of her post in light of the current news cycle, offering her apologies and well wishes.
The situation began when speculation arose about Kate Middleton’s absence following her January surgery. Kate later shared a photo of herself with her children, which was subsequently pulled by photo agencies over allegations of manipulation. Kate admitted to experimenting with editing, apologizing for the confusion.

Celebrities also weighed in on the situation. Blake’s post, which has since been deleted, was an advertisement for her mocktail company. The photo, intentionally poorly Photoshopped, was meant as a playful nod, though it garnered criticism in the context of Kate’s situation.
Following Kate’s cancer announcement, Blake’s post drew backlash, prompting her apology. The incident also prompted an outpouring of support from world leaders, celebrities, and members of the royal family for Kate and her family.
Throughout the ordeal, Kate’s husband, Prince William, has reportedly been a steadfast source of support, despite the inaccurate speculation in the media. His focus has remained on supporting his wife and children through this difficult time.
