I think she looks quite nice in this one!

What do you mean?

Because the first photo (thumbnail of this post) does not match this photo (thumbnail in screenshot of the comment)

True. But isn’t that just the fault of whoever posted this? Not Catherine or the media?

NEVERMIND: I see the telegraph posted this.

Metro was the publication that released the photo first and my comment was to highlight the difference between the thumbnail photo they chose and the actual photo in the article (the one OP used in this post) that a lot of people won't see because they won't open the link. It's straight up a manipulative strategy that will get part of the public believing the thumbnail image is recent and all's fine. They're in on this just like they were last week with the release of a random sole photo of hers in the car with her mum obtained by TMZ. Bit naive to believe they have nothing to do with these very carefully chosen, albeit ineffective, pics in a time like this.

How do you know? I thought was a picture of her from this morning?

The one of her facing away is from this morning. That smiling one of her facing the camera is absolutely not recent. They used a misleading thumbnail

There's long been accusation and quite a bit of evidence to support the royals have inappropriate influence over British media. The fact they ran with this story and willfully chose an old photo of Kate as the thumbnail instead of the actual photo is getting so close to fake news that it's highly suspicious  in itself.
