Finally the truth. The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has apologized for the fake photo published yesterday on Kensington Palace’s official social media profile. “Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally try my hand at editing. I wanted to express my apologies for the confusion caused by the family photograph we shared yesterday. I hope everyone celebrating had a happy Mother’s Day.” The Princess of Wales broke her silence after the photo she posted sparked a real storm.
This morning, in fact, it was reported that four news agencies had removed a photo of the future queen because it was deemed “manipulated”. The image, taken by Prince William and published by Kensington Palace – the couple’s residence – on the occasion of her Mother’s Day, showed the woman surrounded by her three children. However, according to four news outlets, the photo fails to meet standards as details of a “post publication review” emerge. Again according to the agencies, there is an “inconsistency in the alignment of the left hand of Princess Charlotte”, the daughter of Kate Middleton and Prince William.
