Princess Kate "is recovering well and will be back by Easter", royal insiders have said and added that she is keen to move on from the photoshop row. 

The Princess of Wales, 42, has been subject to a torrent of social media abuse and rampant conspiracy theories after she publicly took the blame for the family photograph released on Mother's Day. 

She issued an apology and admitted to editing the picture, after several picture agencies pulled the picture over concerns it had been digitally manipulated. 

But insiders have warned that their wild conspiracy theories circulating online are having a negative effect on the future Queen and have urged the public to "leave her in peace".

"It’s an awful lot to be under all of this public scrutiny when you are recovering from major surgery," one source told American celebrity news site Page Six. "The rumor mill — particularly on social media — has gotten out of control, but Kate is recovering well and she will be back by Easter. She just needs to be left in peace."
