Kensington Palace Just Can’t Catch a Break!
Get ready for some serious side-eye, because a new photo released by the Palace to celebrate U.K.’s Mother’s Day featuring Kate Middleton and her adorable kiddos has gone rogue! Major photo agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, and Getty Images are hitting the brakes on the pic, claiming it’s been tampered with!
What’s the Tea, Sis? ☕️
Apparently, eagle-eyed editors noticed some ~questionable~ editing choices when they zoomed in on the supposedly heartwarming family photo (reportedly taken by Prince William himself last week). We’re talking Princess Charlotte’s sleeve defying the laws of physics by not lining up with her arm, and Prince George’s right hand looking suspiciously blurry. Seems like someone went a little overboard with the Photoshop magic!
Prince William issuing statements in Kate Middleton's name as he did today with the doctored image of Kate Middleton and their children will not be the first time he deceived the public. But he was always protected by the British Media in any lie. The Palace controls the Media. pic.twitter.com/G9RkxYgySj

I wasn’t in on this whole conspiracy about Kate Middleton missing and the royals covering it up until they dropped this obviously fake photo today to appease public concern.

Is Kate Okay Though?
This whole situation comes with a side of worry for royal fans. Remember how Kate went under the knife for abdominal surgery back in January? The public hasn’t seen much of her since, and this photo mishap is fueling speculation about her health.

The Palace Stays Silent…For Now
As of now, Kensington Palace is keeping mum on the whole “manipulated photo” drama. But with the internet buzzing and the photo agencies putting it on ice, we have a feeling a statement is coming soon.
