Kate Middleton admits editing photograph after it was retracted


Kate's photo should have quelled the rumors. Editing it has done exactly  the opposite | CNN

 

 


The Princess of Wales posted an apology after the picture she posted on Mother's Day was pulled by agencies.

 

'Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing' - Kate Middleton has taken to X to post an apology after a photograph she posted on Mother's Day caused multiple news agencies to retract it over fears the image had been manipulated.

 

The first official photo of Kate, the Princess of Wales, since her abdominal surgery nearly two months ago was issued Sunday after weeks of speculation about her whereabouts.

 

The photo of Kate in a chair surrounded by her three children was credited to her husband, William, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, and was said to have been taken earlier in the week in Windsor.

 

“Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months,” Kate said on social media. “Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day.”

 

AP initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. While there was no suggestion the photo was fake, AP retracted it because closer inspection revealed the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards. For instance, the photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.

 

The release of the photo followed weeks of gossip on social media about what had happened to Kate since she left a hospital on 19 January after a nearly two-week stay following planned surgery. She hadn't been seen publicly since Christmas Day.

 

The royal family has been under more scrutiny than usual in recent weeks, because both Kate and King Charles III can’t carry out their usual public duties due to health problems.
