Watch: William expected to attend Commonwealth Day as palace breaks silence on Kate photo

Watch as the Prince of Wales is expected to accompany the Queen and other members of the royal family at the annual Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration at Westminster Abbey on Monday, 11 March.

The ceremony will be followed by a Commonwealth Day Reception at Marlborough House.

It comes as Kensington Palace broke its silence after concerns that the first picture of the Princess of Wales to be released after her surgery had been digitally altered.

The image of Kate and her children Prince Louis, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, said by the palace to have been taken by the Prince of Wales, was posted on social media.

The Associated Press issued a "kill notification" on the image, stating: "At closer inspection it appears that the source has manipulated the image."

In a social media post signed C for Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s accounts issued a statement that read: “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”
