announced she has cancer in a video statement on March 22, and Getty Images has now added an editor’s note to the clip for context. “This Handout clip was provided by a third-party organization and may not adhere to Getty Images’ editorial policy,” the memo reads.The photo agency then reiterated the message to E!
News, telling them in a statement on Monday that Middleton’s video “includes a standard editor’s note to handout content provided by third-party organizations.”The video — which was shot at Windsor Castle by BBC Studios — featured the Princess of Wales sitting on a bench in front of a picturesque garden, sharing her story.“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she revealed. “The surgery was successful.
However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”Middleton had been keeping a low profile since January following her abdominal procedure.
She made a small Instagram appearance in early March when she posted a photo in honor of the United Kingdom’s Mother’s Day. The snap was found to be heavily edited, with several photo agencies releasing a kill notification shortly after the pic was posted.
