The AP stated that the photo had been removed due to evidence that the source had altered it in a manner that did not meet AP’s standards for photographs. It was discovered that there was a discrepancy in the positioning of Princess Charlotte’s left hand in the image.
Some internet users pointed out that one of Charlotte’s sleeves was blurred in the photo, and others observed possible editing in the children’s hair and hands.
The Press Association news agency of Britain, known for breaking royal news, reported that it will no longer use the image after Kensington Palace failed to respond to their request for clarification.
PA stated that if the clarification is not provided, they will remove the image from their picture service.
According to a source at Kensington Palace, Kate, William, and their children George (10), Charlotte (8), and Louis (5) spent Mother’s Day together and wanted to share a casual photo. The source also mentioned that William took the picture, but Kate made some minor edits to it. It was reported that the family had a lovely Mother’s Day.
Even though people requested for the initial photo to be shared, Kensington Palace declined to publish the untouched image.
In January, Kensington Palace announced that Kate had undergone a scheduled surgery and would be hospitalized for 10-14 days. She would then recuperate at home and return to her royal duties on March 31, after Easter. As a result, there was an increase in speculation about her health on social media.
The palace announced that Kate’s hope was for the public to understand her desire to prioritize her children’s normalcy and to keep her personal medical information confidential.
As there have been no recent updates regarding Kate’s health, a representative from Kensington Palace addressed the speculation and inquiries from the media in late February by stating that the princess is “progressing positively” and emphasizing that the palace previously announced they would only share major updates on her recovery. This policy remains in place.
