Blake Lively has apologised for joking about Catherine, Princess of Wales’ “photoshop fails” after learning that the royal has cancer.
The 42-year-old royal has been absent from public duties since January and has recently announced that she is battling a form of the disease.
In the weeks leading up to the announcement, Kensington Palace had released a photograph of the princess with her children for Mother’s Day which soon turned out to have been edited and former Gossip Girl star Lively, 36, took aim at the picture on social media.
In a nod to speculation over Kate’s long absence from the public eye, Lively wrote: I’m so excited to share this new photo I just took today to announce our 4 new @bettybuzz @bettybooze products! Now you know why I’ve been MIA.”
