After the Photoshop fail on Mother's Day, it could well be that Princess Kate will take a different approach with her family pictures in the future.
London – Will Princess Kate never post a photo again?
The mother of three and wife of Prince William, 41, shared a photo of herself and her three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, on Mother's Day, Sunday, March 12. on Instagram.
The controversy that followed may now have ruined that tradition.
Princess Kate: Criticized for edited family photo
It has now become common practice for the Princess of Wales, as a passionate amateur photographer, to also share private snapshots.
She regularly posted photos online for her children's birthdays or on occasions such as Mother's Day.
The picture she posted was taken by Prince William and sparked a lot of discussion.
The reason: Kate had edited the photo with Photoshop.
But because a few “mistakes” happened, she could refrain from taking private photos in the future.
“The whole idea was ruined,” said Ingrid Seward, a royal biographer and court expert.
What she's referring to is the fact that Kate and William liked to share personal pictures with the public to appear more relatable.
Now that the Photoshop fail has been exposed, the authenticity of the images is always being questioned.
No more private pictures: Will William and Kate only use professional photographers in the future?
Princess Kate doesn't need the stress over the photo at the moment while she's recovering from abdominal surgery.
Ingrid Seward therefore wonders why the photo had not been checked beforehand to protect Kate from such a scandal.
The royal expert explained
to the
Mirror that one result could now be that William and Kate will simply no longer share privately taken pictures.

"Maybe William and Kate will decide it's not worth the stress of taking pictures themselves and publishing them," she speculated.
During Princess Diana's time, a photographer regularly appeared and took pictures that were then published: "That worked well." The royal couple may soon resort to similar options.
However, other experts defend Princess Kate's Photoshop fail.
