Princess Kate Middleton is apologizing Monday after admitting that an image of her and her children shared yesterday on official palace social media accounts to celebrate Mother's Day in the United Kingdom was edited. 'Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,' she wrote on X. 'I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day.
The Associated Press and other news agencies began pulling the image from their websites over concerns that it was 'manipulated.' 'AP initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. But AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appeared the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand,' the news agency said.
close study of the image revealed inconsistencies that suggested it had been altered. For instance, in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand with the sleeve of her sweater. Some viewers on social media also pointed out blurriness around the royal's hair, zipper, as well as Prince Louis' hand. Kensington Palace declined to comment. According to AP, their 'editorial standards state that images must be accurate. AP does not use altered or digitally manipulated images.
