Inside Princess Kate's Photo Controversy

Shot by her husband, Prince William, 41, at home in Windsor, the photograph in question-her first official one since undergoing abdominal surgery in January—showed a smiling Kate, 42, surrounded by her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
