Why Has This Photo of Kate and Her Children Been ‘Pulled Down’?

Rest Coming Into are your boots from look at look can’t take it with You

Kensington Palace released this image of Princess Catherine and her three children for Mother’s Day.

It was hoped that the sweet picture of Kate with George, Charlotte and Louis would end online speculation about the princess’ health and whereabouts.

But shortly after its release, several major news organisations withdrew the picture, saying it had been digitally manipulated.

The Associated Press was the first agency to pull the image as it “did not meet” the agency’s photo standards, noting an “inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand”.

Kensington Palace has so far not responded to the claims.

Although there is no doubt the original photo is genuine, speculation about whether the image was altered for publication has been rampant on social media.

The photo was published with a message from the princess thanking the public for its support while marking Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom.

It was the first to be officially released by Kensington Palace since Catherine underwent abdominal surgery in January.

  2. Eine frechheit dieser Firmen. Hat die sussex wieder ihre Hände im Spiel. War ja dann wohl die Antwort auf Kathrins Foto. Diese frau hat bestimmt ihre PR firma dazu angestiftet. Diese wird immer agressiver mit den Angriff auf Catherine und William. Und an meghan so sehen echte greifbare kinder aus due man nicht verstecken muß und was sie öffentlich machen ist auch in Ordnung und schadet ihnen bestimmt nicht. Dein Neid meg Frist dich noch auf suf Catherine

  3. Just seems to me like people are holding them to standards that other people aren't expected to obtain. Could care less if its touched up. No different to people having surgery, wearing makeup and such.

  4. Many of us are pleased to see the picture and are wishing the family well. I'm not buying into the consp theories. Surprised at AP though. Would have thought they had a bit more integrity? Oh well, another one off the trust list.

  6. Princess Catherine, I am advocating for you to receive a better honorary military title. According to a video by this Channel, you were described as being the Colonel-In-Chief of the Irish Guards. I find this to be unfitting for a future Queen Consort and want better for you just to compensate for all that you have missed since the abdominal procedure that you have undergone that has you in recovery currently 🇬🇧

  9. Who cares? So what Catherine edited it. I edit the majority of my photos because I want to look my best in my photos. I've whitened teeth, sharpened and blurred images, applied filters etc. I've just heard on the radio that Catherine has apologised for the photo, saying words to the effect of like most amateur photographers she enjoys editing photos and playing around with them. At least she's not doing it to other people's photographs and posting photos of other people's children. I really don't think she needs to apologise for anything. She tried to do something nice on Mother's Day and I for one appreciated the gesture. Also, the press make me laugh. As if they're so righteous. They've got a cheek criticising her photograph. How many photos have they manipulated? Catherine is recovering and has enough on her plate.

  10. The media are happy enough to publish photos of children who have never even been confirmed to be Harry's children…not even by Harry or his wife.

  11. I love this photo so much people need to leave the family alone ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  15. mainstream nowadays honestly are not reporting truthfully. they are reporting what they think will sell. did any of the mainstream ever reported when Rachel moonbump was seen slowly going down on her knees? did any of the mainstream media ever questioned Henry when he said he brought home his unborn child buried it, is it legal to bury your unborn child in the ground where they are now living? who cares what the mainstream media think about the photo. what I saw on the photo is a happy mother with her happy children. Prince William is not an expert photographer but I am happy he wanted to share this photo. those who believe it was photoshopped are also the ones who believe Henry's lies on his book, those who believe that Rachel was being bullied when she was in the palace, those who believe that Rachel is a victim. Prince William does not need to convince people to believe in the photo he had taken about his Wales family. no matter how good the intention of Prince William and Princess Catherine there are people who will find fault because they just want to shame the family. they just want to pressure the BRF to divulge informations so mainstream media can sell stories of their liking not what the BRF wanted to. aside from mainstream media, Henry and Rachel are always trying to find something to smear the Wales family because they are after of the throne they want to position themselves as the King and Queen of UK.

  17. Poor Catherine has had to make a statement to say that she did do some retouching of the photo and that sometimes she experiments with editing. Who doesn’t use photoshop? This whole drama is ridiculous.

  18. Երանի թարգմանեիք,մեր մոտ ջնջել են անգլերեն հայերեն եւ հակառակը' թարգմանությունը…- հոգեմտավոր տեռոր է Ազգասերներիս նկատմամբ,ոչ' Ազգասեր խաղացողների,որոնց դաշտն ազատ է,քանզի' խամաճիկն են որեւէ մեկի։+**12 Ամեն դեպքում հաճույքով եմ դիտում,Դուք' Կեցցեք❤

  22. I wonder if this hullabaloo has anything to do with that lot across the pond together with their troop of monkeys…. You know that one who tried to turn a frog into a princess instead turned into a frog himself 🪁🪃🎭

  24. I wonder who instigated this manipulation. It had over 1000000 views. I have seen where some people have a full head of hair when they don't. Why don't these get taken down.

  27. Why use Ai to create a photo of Kate, whereby the sapphire engagement ring is missing. And tight jeans are the worst clothing item to wear after abdominal surgery. Yet The Firm are "furious" , over bonafide public speculation as to the current health condition Kate is in. Alive. Or dead???? What is one meant to presume…. A separation between her and William for sure and that they are speeding towards a divorce announcement.

  29. I think it's lovely ❤💯 Praying for a speedy recovery for Princess Catherine ❤❤. Lovely family 💯💜💜

  30. It looks like its been edited as they were adding the "Princesses" hand. Part of Charlottes jumper sleeve is missing and a part of the skirt has been cut and moved. Also on Charlotte's outer sleeve there is a flare of blue inconsistent with the green grass background. IF that is Catherine's hand, where are her wedding and engagement rings? Also why is Louis crossing his fingers? Whole thing makes me question even more.

  31. I don’t understand what’s happening with our world! Its a photo that shows a mummy and her children ❤ sheesh!
