Blake Lively ‘mortified’ over Catherine joke after princess’s cancer news

Following the announcement that the Princess of Wales is receiving cancer treatment, Blake Lively, an American actor, expressed remorse to Catherine for making jokes about a photoshopped family picture she shared. There was a lot of speculation about Catherine's whereabouts at that time.

Although I don't think anyone is concerned about this right now, I feel compelled to address it. I once wrote a post that was foolishly related to the 'Photoshop fails' craze, and I am extremely embarrassed about it now. On Instagram, I expressed my apologies, followed by a send-off of love and good vibes to everyone. Despite the lack of reception, I needed to express my regret.

Lively, the spouse of actor and co-owner of Wrexham AFC, Ryan Reynolds, erased pictures of herself endorsing specific beverages that were poorly altered and described with the words: "Now you understand the reason for my unavailability."

Lively took down a blog post that was released shortly after Catherine shared a picture of herself with her three children - George, Charlotte, and Louis - to celebrate Mother's Day in the United Kingdom. Major news organizations removed the photo, alleging that it had been tampered with. The photo sparked speculation about why Catherine had been relatively absent over the past year, but she issued an apology and admitted to digitally altering the image. She expressed regret for any confusion that the altered photo may have caused.

Lively said sorry while many other American stars are being urged to apologize for cracking jokes about Catherine before she disclosed on Friday that she had been keeping a low profile due to cancer, which was detected after she had belly surgery in January.

One of the people who commented on Instagram before Catherine shared that she was dealing with cancer was the famous reality TV personality Kim Kardashian. Kim wrote, "I'm off to search for Kate." On Friday, someone replied to her post saying that an apology was necessary.

Recently, rumors have been circulating about Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, not being seen in public. Late Show presenter Stephen Colbert made a joke about a rumor that Prince William may be unfaithful, which reportedly resulted in a legal notice being issued. People who follow Colbert's Instagram account commented negatively about the situation, accusing him of making fun of a woman with cancer and bullying her.

On Friday, Catherine made an announcement in a video message she recorded while in the gardens of Windsor Castle. She explained that she had been absent from the public eye lately because she and her husband needed some time to inform their sons and daughter about her health condition.

In a video, she shared that her family and she require some time, privacy, and space while she completes her treatment. Furthermore, she stated that she's doing well and focusing on things that will support her healing in mind, body, and spirit, which is making her stronger every day.
