Your family snapshot was manipulated, the outcry is huge.
But not everyone can understand the excitement surrounding the media Mother's Day greeting from Princess Kate and Prince William.
Windsor – 2024 is increasingly becoming a year of crisis for the British royal family.
In addition to King Charles III's cancer diagnosis.
(75), Kate Middleton's (42) stomach operation is particularly causing unrest.
Kate had to undergo the procedure in mid-January and made her last public appearance on December 25th.
Their complete withdrawal quickly caused wild speculation, even though Kensington Palace had announced it would be until Easter.
Expert doesn't believe Kate and William were deliberately cheating: “We wanted to give everyone a smiling face”
After a first paparazzi photo of Princess Kate after the operation only showed her out of focus in the passenger seat of a car next to her mother Carole Middleton (69), an official picture should probably send a positive signal.
But the photo posted by Prince William (41) and Princess Kate on Instagram on Mother's Day did the couple a disservice.
The initial joy at Kate's sign of life among her children Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5) turned into outrage.

Because it quickly turned out that the photo had been massively edited, for which Princess Kate even apologized profusely.
William and Kate are now protected by Photoshop expert Stephen Davies, who finds nothing objectionable in the photo.
“They wanted to put a smiling face on everyone,” he suspects, according to
The
Sun.
I don't think they were cheating - they just wanted the perfect photo and missed a few areas.

The “perfect photo” becomes a media disaster for Kate Middleton and Prince William
Although Davies admits that something has definitely been changed in Kate's photo, for him it is a completely normal procedure.
"It shows that multiple images were stitched together - I do this every day for people when one of the children isn't looking at the camera," he said.
So is it just bad luck for William and Kate that their photos are being scrutinized more closely?

Although Princess Kate and Prince William should now be absolute media professionals themselves, royal author Robert Jobson (59) still sees the blame on the team at Kensington Palace, who should have known better.
“In my opinion, she [Kate] has been let down,” explains Jobson, according to
The
Sun.
At least the camera data now reveals whether Kate's photo is an old or a new photo.
