AFP and other news agencies removed from their services on Sunday the first official photo of Britain's Princess Kate to be released since her abdominal surgery, saying the image was found to have been manipulated. In a statement, the palace said the photo was taken "in Windsor earlier this week" by Kate's husband, Prince William. However, multiple news agencies including AFP later pulled the image over concerns it had been manipulated. The king withdrew from public duties during his treatment, though he attended church services and held his weekly audience with the prime minister. Camilla steps inCharles's wife Queen Camilla, 76, has been the most visible senior royal, stepping in to cover many of her husband's public duties during his treatment.
