“Sending love and well wishes to all, always,” she concluded with a red heart.
The Hollywood star has since deleted her “silly post” hinting at the photo editing furore, which promoted her Betty Booze drinks brand, but didn’t expressly name the royal.
In the snap, Blake was seen lounging poolside as she held onto a Betty Buzz can with a comically large lemon photoshopped above her with the caption reading: “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.”
Fans lashed out at the Gossip Girl star when the post initially went out, accusing her of being a hypocrite for mocking the Princess’ request for privacy, while the actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds have been notoriously protective of their own children and their privacy.
Blake is currently one of the only A-listers to apologise for their part in the online speculation around the Mother’s Day image, with social media users demanding apologies in the comments sections of posts from other stars, including Andy Cohen, John Oliver and Kim Kardashian.
Kim’s Instagram post is still up on her page, showing the reality star posing by her car alongside the caption: “On my way to go find Kate.” (sic)
Following the global speculation over Kate’s supposed disappearance, the Princess took to her and Prince William’s official Instagram page to reveal that while her surgery in January had been “successful”, it was discovered that she has cancer and she is now “in the early stages” of treatment.
