Blake Lively, known for her roles in Hollywood and her entrepreneurial ventures, has expressed deep regret over a joke she made regarding Kate Middleton’s alleged “Photoshop fails.” This apology follows Princess Middleton’s recent announcement confirming her battle with cancer.
Taking to her Instagram account on Friday, Lively shared a message conveying her embarrassment: “I’m sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this. I made a silly post around the ‘Photoshop fails’ frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I’m sorry. Sending love and well wishes to all, always.”
The incident in question occurred on March 15 when Lively posted a comically edited photo promoting her Betty Buzz beverage line. The image featured exaggerated alterations, including an enlarged thumb and a floating lemon, alongside her holding a can of Betty Booze. The post, which has since been deleted, humorously stated, “I’m so excited to share this new photo I just took today to announce our 4 new @bettybuzz & @bettybooze products! Now you know why I’ve been MIA.”

This jest was made amidst a frenzy surrounding a photo of Middleton and her children released on March 10 by the Royal Family, which showcased visual anomalies prompting its removal from various news services. Middleton later acknowledged experimenting with editing, attributing the discrepancies to her amateur photography skills. However, the ensuing speculation about Middleton’s absence led to calls for privacy from celebrities such as Jimmy Kimmel and Jamie Lee Curtis.
In a heartfelt video statement released on Friday, Kate Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis, discovered during abdominal surgery. She disclosed undergoing early-stage preventative chemotherapy and expressed gratitude for the support received during this challenging time.
