Professional photographer Jim Bennett goes completely against the grain of speculation about Princess Kate's photo manipulation.
He explains his image.
Windsor - Kate Middleton (42)'s attempt to spread a pretty picture of herself and her children on social media channels on Mother's Day backfired.
The mother-of-three's admission and apology added to the ongoing speculation about her well-being after abdominal surgery in January and made the situation even worse.
Photographer describes in detail how Princess Kate's second conspiracy photo came about
Husband Prince William (41) tried to ease the situation by simply fulfilling his duties.
The day after the photo disaster, the heir to the throne was on the way to a service at Westminster Abbey with a driver when a photographer spotted Princess Kate on his side.
Now there was no stopping it: it was said that the palace had cheated the princess “into the picture” in order to smooth things over.
Irregularities in the brick wall background should prove this.
Now the photographer who took the photo speaks out.
Our new WhatsApp channel also offers more news from the world of celebrities.
Photographer Jim Bennett refutes all online conspiracy theories that the photo was manipulated.
The professional told
the News York Post
: "We don't alter our photos in Photoshop other than adjusting the lighting when necessary."
He also describes the overall situation.
He and a partner were hired by a news agency to take a photo of Prince William on his way to the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in London.
The professional photographer cannot do anything with the renewed speculation about Princess Kate
“The cars left Windsor Castle and I photographed them a short distance away on Datchet High Street – in front of number 39 to be exact,” he says.
“Car shots are unpredictable at best and with some reflections on the glass it can be difficult,” he explains.
It was only then that he noticed that someone was sitting next to him as he checked whether William's picture had turned out well.
Then the moment of realization: “It turned out it was Catherine,” he says.

Speculation that Middleton's silhouette was incorporated into the photo goes against the grain of the experienced photographer.
He comes forward to clear up the rumor that the picture was published by the palace.
Instead, it was taken by a professional photographer and then distributed in the US by the photo agency GoffPhotos, he states.
In the meantime, the situation seems to have eased somewhat with the sighting of Prince William and Princess Kate last Saturday (March 16) at the farm shop in Windsor - and without any photo evidence.
