Someone used Photoshop, Stop the Presses! At least no one has 3 hands.

It was meant to be a wholesome image to celebrate Mother’s Day in the UK, but a photo of Kate Middleton and her children has ended in controversy for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Four major news agencies — Associated Press, Getty Images, Reuters, and AFP — have pulled the photo from their libraries amid concerns it was manipulated by Kensington Palace.

But the image has further fueled conspiracies after eagle-eyed social media users spotted defects in the photo that suggested it had been altered.

Chris Ship, ITV News’ royal editor, said there were “serious questions” for Kensington Palace after it appeared that elements of the image, including Princess Charlotte’s sleeve, were doctored.

The conspiracy theories continue unchecked:-

The claim is now that the screwed up image was as a result of her personally playing about with Photoshop!

I wasn't really buying into this but are we to believe the (recuperating after heavy surgery) future Queen of England was personally hacking about on Photoshop and she was the final port of call before they released an image to media outlets?!

Prince William and wife Middleton’s Kensington Palace X account just posted a message from Middleton saying: “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.”

If that were true, then why didn't she post the original picture, or any real new picture of her? No, she must have faked her own death to try to get out of there, but the royal family found out and is trying to keep it under wraps.
