Wild speculation surrounds Kate Middleton's Mother's Day photo.
Was an old recording of Kate used?
The camera data provides information.
Windsor – Did Kate Middleton (42) and Prince William (41) just want to perfect a nice family photo or did they deliberately deceive the public?
Royal fans around the world have been asking themselves this question since the heir to the throne posted a photo of Princess Kate with her children Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5) on Instagram on British Mother's Day (March 10).
Is Princess Kate's photo old or new?
The camera data reveals it
After it quickly became clear that the photo had been massively reworked, Kate and William were confronted with fierce accusations.
Princess Kate immediately apologized for the photo disaster and admitted: "Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing." But her official statement couldn't really calm people's minds.

According to experts, the image of Princess Kate was manipulated, the only question is to what extent.
Theories range from minor touch-ups to the suggestion that an old picture of Kate was inserted into the shot.
On
X
(formerly
), a user claims, among other things, that Kate's face was
taken from a
Vogue cover from 2016.
But the hidden metadata of the camera, which
The Sun
has now taken a closer look at, speaks against this.
This is what the camera's metadata reveals about the date Princess Kate's photo was taken
The photo of Princess Kate and her children was said
to have been taken with a Canon 5D Mark IV on the Friday before Mother's Day Sunday, according to
The Sun.
The recording is said to have been edited twice with Adobe Photoshop 23.5, on Friday at 9:54 p.m. and on Saturday at 9:39 a.m.
It is unclear whether Kate actually edited the picture.
However, the picture is definitely new.

The original photo could show exactly what changes were made, which is why calls for Princess Kate's unedited picture are becoming louder and louder.
But according to The Sun
, Kensington Palace has
already made it clear that the unedited original photo of Kate and her children will not be published.
