People were initially puzzled by a new photo of Princess Catherine, with some questioning, “Is that really her?” due to her slightly altered appearance. Despite the surprise, many fans sent their support and well-wishes, mindful of her recent health struggles.

The buzz began when Duffryn Mawr Country House, a bed and breakfast in Wales, posted a previously unseen photo of Prince William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with their staff on social media. The caption read, “It’s been 1 year since we welcomed William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, to Duffryn Mawr!” The B&B staff fondly remembered how kind and friendly the royal couple were during their stay.

During their visit, Prince William and Kate enjoyed mingling with locals and even savored pizza from a food van called Little Dragon Pizza. Kate showed a keen interest in the pizza dough preparation and chatted about making pizza at home with her children.

Despite the excitement, some people doubted if the woman in the photo was Princess Catherine. Comments varied from “Where is Princess Catherine?” to “Is that Kate?” One commenter observed, “Kate looks so thin,” while another expressed concern, stating, “She looks good. Maybe a little pale and thin, but she’s been through a lot these past several months.” Others remarked on her appearance, saying, “Nothing like her,” and “Looking happy and being happy are two different things.”

Amidst the mixed reactions, many fans remained supportive. One wrote, “I can’t wait until we see her out and about again. I just love her so much. Queen of all queens to be.” Another added, “Happy before she knew what was coming.”
