Princess Catherine is speaking out after her latest photo has caused SO. MUCH. CONTROVERSY!!!
To celebrate the UK’s Mother’s Day on Sunday, Kate Middleton released a new photo in which she sat surrounded by her loving kids. It was the first official photo released of her since her abdominal surgery, and her first personal statement since her lengthy recovery and the secrecy surrounding her health launched a myriad of conspiracy theories online. Unfortunately, it all took a turn for the worse when fans noticed many strange things with the photo, and claimed it had been photoshopped and/or AI-generated!
Perhaps the most crazy plot twist? It’s not just fans who are concerned anymore!

Quickly after the picture was released, The Associated Press and other major photo agencies released a “kill notice,” informing editors and other clients to immediately remove and stop using the photo from their database — because it appeared TOO “manipulated”! Kill notices are incredibly rare because they call the org’s credibility into question, so the fact that they sent one out on a photo the Princess of Wales released herself is WILD!
Explaining the drama further, the company told NBC News in a statement:
Specifically, the cuff of the 8-year-old’s sweater is the most obviously photoshopped portion of the pic. There’s literally a missing piece of the red clothing! See (below):
In light of this shocking decision by photo agencies and the rampant rumors about the poor editing job, the 42-year-old future queen was forced to issue her second statement! In it, she took full responsibility for the photoshop fail! She claimed via a post on X (Twitter) on Monday morning:

Circumstances got more odd when Kensington Palace released a Mother’s Day photo of Middleton smiling with their children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
is also kind of scandal-plagued. In terms of royal scandals, managed to keep her reputation pretty stainless, but her family failed to follow suit, and have ended up tabloid fodder far more often than they'd care to admit.Here are the latest (well, relatively) controversies faced by the British royals, starting with the Missing Middleton Mess and going all the way back to Wallis Simpson, who kicked off a century of scandal.In early 2024, the Palace announced that the would be undergoing abdominal surgery and would be until at least the end of March. In the meantime, the public about her condition and whereabouts.
One of the world’s biggest news agencies has claimed that Kensington Palace is no longer a “trusted source” after the furor over Kate Middleton‘s doctored Mother’s Day image.

Is Princess Catherine even in that new photo?!
Princess of Wales issued an apology for any “confusion” sparked by the image, saying: “I do occasionally experiment with editing.”Prior to Kate’s confession, online sleuths raised questions about several odd aspects of the photo that showed the smiling British royal surrounded by her children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.The world’s leading news agencies reacted to the controversy by swiftly yanking the image over doctoring fears. One major tell-tale sign of manipulation was that a portion of Charlotte’s wrist seems to be missing from under the chopped-off sleeve of her cardigan.“It looks like a bad Photoshop job,” Dr Hany Farid, a professor of computer sciences at the University of California Berkeley, told The Telegraph.Charlotte’s checkered skirt likewise does not line up, with the right edge sticking out at a strange right angle and overlapping with George’s hands.Additionally, a green line seen on Charlotte’s left leg clad in tights appears to suggest it has been airbrushed.Another unusual detail that raised questions about the image’s veracity is Prince Louis’s crossed fingers on his right hand — and a seemingly fuzzy and broken pattern on the right sleeve of his gray sweater.It has also been noted that the table next to which the youngster is standing appears to have a distorted edge.The Palace should release the unedited photo of Kate & the kids asap.
