Last night came the news that Princess Kate (42) has cancer and is undergoing treatment. The cancer was discovered when she underwent stomach surgery in January.
– I’ve got cancer
In the time since, Kate has kept a low profile. Although the royal house was clear that she would take a break until Easter, people began to speculate heavily on what had happened to the princess and where she had gone.
It all came to a head when she was caught editing a family photo.

Several stars made fun of the princess’ photoshop error, including “Gossip Girl” actor Blake Lively (36).
On Instagram, Lively shared a photo carousel which, among other things, consisted of a clearly edited photo of herself.

Shortly after the news of Kate’s cancer, Lively took to Instagram’s Stories feature to apologize for the prank.

“I’m sure no one cares, but I feel I have to say something. I published a silly post about the photoshop blip and today I’m horrified. I’m sorry. Sending love and good wishes to everyone, always.”
Lively’s original post was also deleted.
