Kate recently stunned fans with photo in a wheelchair following dental surgery

Kate had endured dental surgery, but some fans thought she had gone under the knife. 

One reacted to the photo by writing: "You don’t need work done to your face. This is a bad example to young girls growing up saying you can’t age gracefully.

"She was quickly defended by other fans who pointed out she had dental work, not plastic surgery and Kate couldn't help but comment too.
