- Kate Middleton's photo blunder shocked fans
- News sources wonder if the royal palace is reliable
- HERE are the repercussions
The image, which was removed by major news agencies for obvious doctoring, has led to claims that Kensington Palace is no longer a reliable source of information. This article delves into the controversy and the implications for royal credibility.
The palace loses credibility
In an unprecedented royal ruckus, Kate Middleton, the ever-graceful Princess of Wales (42), has found herself in the eye of a Photoshop storm!
The mother of three – Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8), and Prince Louis (5) – wanted to celebrate UK's Mother's Day with a heartwarming snapshot. But hold your horses, royal watchers, because this picture-perfect moment was anything but!
The image, intended to be a sweet tribute, turned into a digital disaster as eagle-eyed netizens spotted the Photoshop faux pas. "It's a royal mess!" exclaimed one Twitter user, while another joked, "Has the royal family hired a new court jester as their editor?" The photo was so heavily edited that news giants like Reuters and the Associated Press dropped it like a hot potato!
The plot thickens as Phil Chetwynd, the global news director of Agence France-Presse (AFP), blasted the airwaves on BBC Radio 4's "Media Show," declaring Kensington Palace "absolutely not" a trusted source. "We've been duped!" he exclaimed, as the AFP raised the red flag on royal releases.

In a surprising twist, Middleton took to the internet with a royal mea culpa. "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she confessed, adding a duchess-level apology for any confusion caused. But the question remains: Can the royals recover from this trust tumble?
