In the end, on the question of the photo “manipulated“, she, the Princess of Wales, intervened directly, Catherine Middleton, for all Kate. The controversy over the shot, the first following the abdominal surgery suffered by Prince William’s wife last January, flared up when four news agencies withdrew the shot from their archives because it did not “meet” the standards as it would have suffered a “post production review“. The element that stands out most, and which is also highlighted by the agencies, is an “inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand”. But social media users have also highlighted other details that would not have been consistent with a “natural” photograph.
The shot has fueled the already strong controversy regarding the situation of Princess Catherine, whose return to official commitments seems to have been postponed to a date to be defined. The Palace rallies around the future queen but the rumors in the kingdom, and even outside, are uncontrolled. To try to put a stop to conspiracy speculation on the health of Prince William’s wife, a statement written in the first person and signed by the princess herself appeared on the profile of the Princes of Wales themselves, in which she apologized for what happened, also explaining the genesis of that shot.
Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C

“Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment l’editing. I wanted to express mine apologies for any confusion caused by the family photograph we shared yesterday. I hope everyone who celebrated had a happy Mother’s Day. C.”, a few words with which Kate Middleton takes direct and total responsibility responsibility of the wrong photograph in post-production. Although they are words entrusted to a social network, these are the first direct statements released by the British Royal House on behalf of the future queen in the post-operative period. William’s wife’s passion for photos is well known, most of the portraits shared on the family’s social profiles are taken by her but, evidently, this time something went wrong. Will this help stop the conspiracies? Probably not, but the royal family’s clarification was necessary in the face of an event that had never occurred with the official photos.
