Kate Middleton Apologises For ‘Any Confusion’ Over Photoshopped Mother’s Day Pic

Kate Middleton has issued an apology for the “confusion” arising from the family photo she shared on Mother’s Day via her official social media accounts. The Princess of Wales acknowledged that she had “experimented” with editing of the image that sparked controversy on social media.

In an official statement on social media, Kate Middleton stated, “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.”

The photo shared to mark Mother’s Day celebrations in Britain, features Kate Middleton sitting in a garden chair, embracing her three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. This post marked her first appearance on social media after undergoing abdominal surgery, leading to speculations about its authenticity.

The image was scrutinized for edits, and some news agencies removed it from reports due to concerns about its legitimacy. Upon closer inspection, observers noted misalignments and distortions in the photo, such as Princess Charlotte’s left hand not aligning with the sleeve of her cardigan and Prince Louis’s fingers appearing slightly distorted, fueling suspicions of subpar photoshop work.
