Princess Kate<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s health and whereabouts.<\/p>\nIn 2019, tabloids reported that William had an extramarital relationship with Rose, whose family has maintained a long-term connection to the British royal family. Neither William nor Kate, 42, publicly responded to the rumors at the time.<\/p>\n
Nearly four years later, the affair speculation resurfaced after \u201cKateGate\u201d started trending on social media. Online users pondered over where Kate has been after she underwent a \u201cplanned abdominal\u201d surgery in January of this year. Moreover, the chatter exploded after the Princess of Wales shared a Mother\u2019s Day photo on March 10 of her and her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, whom she shares with William. Shortly thereafter, the Associated Press issued a notice to news outlets, informing them to avoid using the picture because its \u201csource\u201d had \u201cmanipulated\u201d it.<\/p>\n
Kate then apologized on social media by affirming that she had edited the image, but many social media users asked whether the photo was AI-generated.<\/p>\n
More fuel was added to the fire in March when Stephen Colbert<\/strong> acknowledged the baseless rumors during an episode of his late-night show.<\/p>\n
