The Associated Press (AP), Reuters, Getty Images, and Agence France-Presse (AFP) have all issued notices advising against the use of the image featuring Kate and her three children, originally released by Kensington Palace.

Middleton's recent absence from public appearances has fueled widespread online speculation about her condition and well-being.
