On their 13th wedding anniversary, a poignant post was shared on Instagram by Kensington Palace, featuring a timeless black-and-white portrait from Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding day, captured by photographer Millie Pilkington, renowned for her stunning royal portraits, as reported by Hindustan Times.
The monochrome image, evoking a sense of nostalgia and elegance and capturing the couple’s enduring love and commitment, inadvertently sparked concern among some fans accustomed to the vibrant and colourful content typically shared by the palace.
Why Royal Fans Are Panicking?
The absence of colour in the image initially led to fears among some followers, with comments reflecting a sense of alarm and apprehension. “Black and white photo? This scares me!” one comment read, while others mentioned they “nearly threw up,” “almost fainted,” or “almost [had] a heart attack” over the darkened image.
Expressions of shock, panic, and speculation about potential hidden meanings flooded the comments section. Some fans even referenced Kate Middleton’s past health challenges, particularly her battle with cancer, and her recent absence from public events, according the media reports.
In the flurry of speculation, some swiftly came to the couple’s defence, urging caution against jumping to conclusions. The beauty of the photo was emphasized, and an end to unfounded rumours and sensationalism was called for. While acknowledging the concerns raised by some fans, supporters stress the need to celebrate the couple’s enduring love and resilience, particularly in the face of ongoing challenges and scrutiny.
