Following the groans of shock, Anna defended the Royal and said: “She standing on a tree that fallen down, she’s on top of it and she’s standing there, she’s stoic, she still going, she’s joyfully in her recovery and remission.”
However, Eamonn wasn’t having it, after clarifying that Kate was standing on a “dead tree,” he repeated: “What is inspirational about that?”
The broadcaster continued: “Well I’m just saying because I know no one else will say it, I think it’s a hideous-looking picture.”
Anna explained: “That may not be the best view of it because when you see it online, it’s a beautifully wintery morning. We’ve all gone out with our kids and walked along logs, and she’s holding out her arms to embrace everybody who’s had cancer.”

Ashworth echoed: “I agree; I think it a fabulous image, and of course, it’s taken by Prince Louis, who is six,” and despite this, Eamonn chuckled as he added: “I don’t think he’s got an eye for photography.”
Kensington Palace shared the photographs across their social media platforms ahead of World Cancer Day on Tuesday (January 4). The images featured Kate and were captioned: “Don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease.”
This comes as Kate continues her gradual return to royal duties following her gruelling cancer treatment last summer.
Although she carried out Royal engagements last week, she emphasised that her immediate priority remains focused on her young family.”
