I don't fully understand what the issue is here, why is this controversial

Catherine went for abdominal surgery in January and wasn't going to return to royal duties until after Easter.
About 2 weeks ago, people on Twitter are asking why we haven't seen her in public
Kensington Palace releases a photo yesterday for mother's day with Kate and she children in
People say the image has been touched up or photoshopped
Kate admits today that she did use a bit of image editing on the picture.

From what I can tell, it's not a story really. They probably used a tool that allowed them to get a composite image from a selection of about 5 images (like maybe one of the children blinked in one photo and in another they weren't looking at the camera). It is a bit of a royal blunder though and they may as well release the unedited photo.
