Blake Lively has made a groveling apology for making an ill-advised Kate Middleton joke days before the Royal announced she had cancer.
The actress, 36, was slated by fans after she plugged her drinks range on March 13 – and took aim at the photo editing controversy around a family shot of the Princess of Wales, 42, and her children.
She wrote: ‘I’m so excited to share this new photo I just took today to announce our 4 new @bettybuzz & @bettybooze products! Now you know why I’ve been MIA.’
In the wake of Middleton’s announcement on Friday that she had cancer, Lively wrote on Instagram: ‘I’m sure no-one cares today but I feel I have to acknowledge this.
‘I made a silly post around the ‘photoshop fails’ frenzy and, oh, man, that post has me mortified today
‘I’m sorry. Sending love and well wishes to all, always.’

In a deeply personal, unprecedented and emotional video message, filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Kate revealed that she has cancer which was detected after her abdominal surgery
In a deeply personal, unprecedented and emotional video message, filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Kate revealed the news had come as a ‘huge shock’ and that she and William ‘have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family’.
It came days after she was seen smiling with Prince William as they left their favourite farm shop close to their Windsor home, and she said her husband had been ‘a great source of comfort and reassurance’ during her cancer fight.
Speaking from a bench surrounded by daffodils and spring blossom, the future queen said: ‘It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.
‘As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.
‘Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.’
Catherine’s cancer was discovered only after she underwent major abdominal surgery at The London Clinic in January. Kensington Palace has said it will not be sharing details of what kind of cancer the princess has, or what stage of cancer it is and has asked people not to speculate.
The King – who is also currently undergoing cancer treatment himself – and the Queen were both been informed of the news.
‘In a statement tonight His Majesty said he is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did’ and remains in the ‘closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law’.
