On Saturday, March 8, the Royal Family of the United Kingdom took to Instagram to share some of the iconic portraits of the female royals to celebrate the big day.

However, the Buckingham Palace’s post marked a noticeable absence of one of the key royals, Kate Middleton, whose portrait was not included in the tribute.
This shocking snub was quick to spark buzz among royal fans, who expressed their astonishment and questioned why the Princess of Wales was not included in the post.
“Can I know where the Princess of Wales photo is,” one asked.
Expressing disappointment, another penned, “Wow. Nothing about the Princess of Wales?”
A third questioned, “Where is the Catherine??”
“Not the mother of the future king? No respect,” one more expressed their anger.
