April 29, 2011, is a special day for the British people: William and Kate got married on this day.

According to tradition, every wedding anniversary, William and Kate's official account will basically post a photo of the two. For example, in 2023, the photo of the two obviously taken shortly before the anniversary:

It might as well be a short film in 2021:

Today is their 13th anniversary, and the situation of the royal family is obviously very different from that of back then:
William broke up with his brother, and Harry left the United States. , Charles was diagnosed with cancer, and Kate disappeared for three months. She came back to report that she was also suffering from cancer...
It is already unknown whether Kate will be able to appear on the scene this year.
However, it seems that they still celebrated their wedding anniversary as usual this year.
Just after one o'clock in the afternoon UK time, the official account of the two released a "new" photo with the text:
"13 years ago today!"
(the photo posted today)
The reason for the "new" The quotation marks are because the photo is actually taken when they got married.
Kate’s wedding dress can be seen as being on the wedding day, and William still had hair at the time...
But if you don’t read the text carefully, it’s still It’s easy to be startled by this black and white photo, especially at this point. Netizens were shocked and thought...
"Why is it a black and white photo?! Oh my god, I almost fainted."
"A black and white photo? It scared me to death!"
"This black and white photo almost gave me a heart attack..."
"If your missing wife is not dead, why don't you post black and white photos, buddy"
"I almost threw up. , don’t scare me like that”
(the above are all comments from ig netizens)
…
Of course, there are also normal blessings, such as the photographer of this photo, millie pilkington, sent:
“Happy anniversary!” I can believe it’s been 13 years. I still remember this moment clearly. Sending love to you two on this special day. "
(Blessings from photographer millie pilkington)
But these normal blessings are basically criticized in black and white. The comments about the photo were flooded...
is also right, used an old black and white photo to "fill up" at this sensitive node, giving the impression that Kate is now in a situation where she can no longer see anyone. .....
Reminiscent of Kate's previous video in which she disclosed her cancer diagnosis and said that she had started doing "preventive chemotherapy" ...
Is this already starting to have side effects?

Kensington Palace has not updated Kate’s situation for more than a month, so it is difficult for us to speculate.
But there is no need to over-interpret it, because look at their previous wedding anniversaries You can find that
they also used old photos from the wedding day in 2020, , but they didn't even publish them in 2022...
So using old photos may not mean anything.

And in late April, William has gradually resumed royal work and is no longer with Kate.
explains that Kate's situation should not be that serious.
(William attended the event on April 25)
23rd Prince Louis’ birthday, Kate took the photo of Louis herself ,
And Louis was obviously outdoors, so at least Kate still has the ability to walk outdoors.
(Louis’ birthday on the 23rd, the photographer is Kate)
This time the black and white photo made a big mistake, but after careful analysis, Kate’s situation should not be that urgent.
I can only say that I hope William or the couple’s staff can be more careful and stop being so scary...
Of course, I also hope that Kate can take a photo with William again on next year's anniversary... ...
