Latest Kate Middleton news: Kate Middleton was in hot water recently after her “digitally manipulated” photo was published. She later apologized and called Photoshop one of her hobbies. Now, it has been revealed that another photograph that was made public had undergone a digital transformation.
In the most recent image, Queen Elizabeth II is seen with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The photo, taken by Kate herself at Balmoral in August 2022, was shared on April 21, 2023, to mark the late monarch’s birthday. The Telegraph reported citing Getty Images that the photograph was “digitally enhanced at source.”
“Getty Images reviewed the image in question and placed an editor’s note on it, indicating that the image has been digitally enhanced at the source,” the publication quoted a Getty spokesperson as saying.
Upon closer inspection, several inconsistencies are noted in the photo. A black patch is seen behind Prince George’s shirt collar, a similar patch behind Prince Louis’ ear, and signs of digital repeating of Mia Tindall’s hair. Additionally, there is a vertical line where the pattern on the Queen’s skirt does not match.
Kate’s ‘digitally manipulated’ photo
Several major news agencies, including Getty Images, Reuters, Agence France-Presse and The Associated Press, previously issued a “takedown notice” for Kate’s Mother’s Day image. It was the first photo released of her since her abdominal surgery in January.
In the photo, Kate is seen sitting with Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Prince George hugging her. The Prince and Princess of Wales shared the photo on social media along with a note from Kate: “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the past two months. Wishing you all a happy Mother’s Day.” .
While speculation about his well-being was already high, the digital manipulation further fueled the rumors, with many suggesting “sinister” possibilities.
