Kate Middleton's photoshop scandal hasn't exactly helped shut down conspiracy theories about her whereabouts, as the entire internet is deeply invested in wtf is going on with the royals. A quick catch-up moment while we're here:

And if you're wondering what the vibes are at Kensington Palace right now, apparently...not great! The Daily Mail reports that the Prince and Princess of Wales are "deeply upset" and "angered" by "recent public discussion about her welfare."

The outlet also notes that Kensington Palace was "thrown completely off guard" when photo agencies killed the Mother's Day photo of Kate and her kids over editing issues, and immediately started "crisis talks."

Now that the Princess of Wales has issued an apology, the institution is reportedly "hoping to draw a line under the issue," but speculation about Kate's whereabouts doesn't appear to have died down just yet. In fact, some might argue that the apology actually made things worse.

As a royal source told the Mirror, "It is a bad day at the office for the palace and something which will no doubt be reflected on in future."

That! Said!!! An insider who spoke with the Daily Mail tried to keep things a little more casual by urging that, "The princess made minor adjustments, as she shared in her statement on social media. The Wales family spent Mother's Day together and had a wonderful day."

'Kay!
