Princess Catherine says she manipulated this photo that was taken of her with her three children.
What was intended as a simple family photo has become a royal headache for Princess Catherine and her family, after social media users and photo experts pointed out numerous inconsistencies that suggest the photo was heavily manipulated.
Catherine, 42, left a hospital Jan. 29 after a nearly two-week stay following the planned surgery and has not been seen in public since Christmas Day. The reason for the operation has been kept under wraps.Catherine attends the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church on Dec. 25, in Sandringham, Norfolk. She has not been seen in public since.
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. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C"The altered photo didn't meet Reuters standards of image quality, and that is the reason we withdrew it," a Reuters spokesperson said in an email to CBC News.
"It's as if they wanted to make the hair longer and maybe cover something up," he said. "Repeat patterns are a dead giveaway."
