Prince William and Duchess Kate recently celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary. A commemorative photo was shared on their official social media profiles to mark the occasion. However, a particular detail about the photo raised eyebrows among Internet users.

On April 29, 2011, Prince William and Kate Middleton exchanged vows in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey, officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. This significant event in the lives of the heirs to the throne was so monumental that the day was declared a public holiday, and the ceremony attracted an audience of approximately 3 billion viewers worldwide.

To celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary on Monday, a tradition was honored with the publication of a commemorative photo on their Instagram. The photo captured the couple lovingly embraced on their wedding day, featuring the Duchess in her white dress and veil and a youthful Prince William. The caption read, "13 years ago today!"

The photo was received warmly by fans, who flooded the post with congratulatory messages and well-wishes for the couple's continued happiness.

However, concern arose among some Internet users due to the photo being presented in black and white. In light of Kate Middleton's battle with cancer, the choice of a monochrome photo led to a wave of worry and speculation...

"Black and white photo? This scares me!"

"I thought it was sad news... because the photo was black and white."

"There’s definitely something going on that we don’t know about… even the wording is sus," another commented. "No 'happy anniversary,' just says 'thirteen years ago' 😳🤔"
