Kate Middleton, Prince William’s 13th Birthday Photo Scares Fans Amid Princess’ Battle With Cancer: Celebrities: Enstarz

Prince William and Kate Middleton worried their fans when they released a never-before-seen photo to mark their 13th wedding anniversary.

The Prince and Princess of Wales released a black and white photo on Monday to mark their wedding anniversary. Prince William and Middleton were married on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London, England. The couple tagged Millie Pilkington, who took the beautiful photo.

However, several royal fans expressed concern upon first seeing the photo. They said they were scared because they thought something tragic had happened, especially since Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis last month.

“I have to admit I was scared for a moment, please don’t do that 🙁 I hope you both enjoy this anniversary,” said one concerned fan.

Another added: “I was scared to see (a) monochrome photo. I wish you all the best in your life forever.”

“Black and white photo? This scares me!” a third person commented.

Some said they “almost fainted” when they saw the photo. Another said they “almost had a heart attack.”

Many also advised the others to relax because it was a beautiful photo and black and white photos are completely normal.

“Y’all need to chill out. Black and white photography is completely normal and has no underlying meaning. (face with tears of joy emoji) ridiculous,” one commenter wrote.

Another opined: “So many strange reactions here. So many strange people walking among us.”

“Is it against the law or something for a couple to post a black and white photo of their wedding? I’ve seen it many times, it’s a good aesthetic. I don’t understand the fuss about this,” another royal fan wrote. .

“On that note, happy anniversary to William and Catherine of Wales. Here’s to many, many more years of happiness, good health and success. Cheers!”

Amar Guillen, a photographer who creates art prints of nature in black and white, recognized that black and white photos are transcribed as negative feelings. Many associate them with disasters and sad emotions. He noted that black and white is a reflection of sad emotions. For him it could also be “synonymous with beauty and dreams” for landscape and nature photography.

Middleton disappeared from the public eye for months after the palace announced she was scheduled for abdominal surgery in January. Several fans wondered how she was doing, and in March the Princess of Wales revealed she had cancer.

“At the time, my condition was thought to be benign,” she said in a video shared on their official accounts on Instagram and X, formerly Twitter. “The operation was successful. However, tests after the operation revealed that cancer was present.”

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery to start my treatment. But most importantly, it has taken us time to get everything sorted out in a way, George, Charlotte and Louis that is suitable for them, and to reassure them that I am doing well.”

Middleton is currently focusing on a “full recovery.” She has asked for “time, space and privacy” as she continues her treatment.
