The Princess of Wales, is likely feeling "down in the dumps" over the furore surrounding her Mother's Day photo, a leading royal expert has explained. A social media storm was whipped up after the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a picture on Sunday (March 10) showing Kate with her three children - Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and five year old Prince Louis.The snap, which was released after Kate underwent abdominal surgery back in January, came after the public were first told that she wouldn't be able to return to royal duties until after Easter while she focused on her recovery. With the Princess out of the public eye, nasty rumours have started about her health online, and the release of the Mother's Day photo was meant to quieten the gossip.

Along with cringey cracker jokes, fights over the best Quality Street chocolate and post-lunch naps in front of the TV, Christmas Day would not feel right if we didn’t see the royals heading off on their seasonal trip to church. While the service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham is a strictly private affair, all eyes turn on the family as they make their way there, often stopping to chat to locals who gather to give their seasonal greetings.
