I think she tinkered with the photo, just because conspiracy theorists are out in force, doesn't make it fake. oh the sleeve! I love the photo, although Williams isn't the photographer Kate is.💖

It's definitely doctored...in many places. It's just odd. And what's the purpose? The places where it's doctored are very strange. It's not like she adjusted the lighting or their complexion, which is what "tinkering" would be. Things were taken out and put in. Did you see her response? I find that odd too. I'm not saying there is a conspiracy...it's just plain strange

Nope, I think they are keeping the press guessing, which I love. They are also keeping the King out of the limelight, I'm not sure about his health. She was seen this morning going to a doctor's appointment. I don't find it strange at all. Maybe she'll do a sit down with lady O...lol

Just my two cents Anyway...I thought this was funny

Yes, that was funny. I was listening to a digital photographer, he said it looked like anyone who does this to photos at home. Took 4 photos and digitally altered them. I hope she's doing well health wise, I think she's lovely..

Maybe that is why all the "secrecy" around Kate. Keep the spotlight off of the King so he can recover.

This has me going down the Kate and William rabbit hole and omg ...there is some crazy stuff out there. The photo from yesterday is even being called suspicious. Why aren't they just putting out a video of her? That would stop all these rumors

Why aren't they just putting out a video of her? That would stop all these rumors She had abdominal surgery, can't she just rest, per doctors orders. I don't think they care what SM says.

Good! I don't see what the fuss is about. There was no new photo today, just TwitterX being silly.

This is too funny I mean they have to realize they were just asking for all this press with that photoshopped pic....for someone who wants to rest this was the worst decision. The fact that the AP had to put out a kill notification for it...eek.

Oh Fanny, I'm sorry if you are upset by this. But this is a Royals thread...the good, the bad and the ugly and yes, the jokes. There have been plenty of jokes made in this thread (even the top post on this thread is one) and plenty of scrutiny on other members of the royal family. It's ok to poke at them. But I also understand if you don't like my opinion...and I'm totally ok with that.

I'm not upset. I don't like joking about someone who has had surgery, that's all.

Oh, big deal on that photo and Kate’s surgery. I say just let her be. She’s been home, recuperating, bored, tinkering with a photo, so what? With no public responsibilities, no kids to cook for or house to clean or laundry to do… heck let her do something fun and wonky and maybe even abnormal without being criticized, eh? The spotlight glare must be exhausting - I think she has an awful life, maybe rewarding at some level, but seldom a normal day to just be herself.

And as usual, once again BP threw the woman under the bus. Time and time again, the Monarchy has proven that they couldn't care less about any woman in that family not named Elizabeth, and even though I'm not a fan of the Royal Family in general I think it's gross. Are we supposed to believe that with the huge machine BP has behind it Kate manipulated those pictures herself? And even if she did, so what? It was clearly a composition of different pictures merged into one (which is fine, but the AP doesn't allow altered photographs, which is understandable why they pulled it) to get the best shot.
People have been seriously disgusting about this. Whatever is going on with her, it is clearly her business and not for public consumption. I've heard so many takes on "what's going on with Kate" ranging from everything from "her face is puffy from meds and she doesn't want to be seen like that (because she knows the public will tear her apart, LBR here)" to "She's wearing a colostomy bag and doesn't want to be seen like that" to fun stuff like "She got a BBL, lol (with photoshopped pics of Kate with a big behind)," to darker, terrible things I'm not going to repeat here. And the more terrible the theory, the more likely people are to believe it; it's like they WANT something horrible to be going on with this woman, and quite frankly it's disturbing. She said she has abdominal surgery and wasn't going to be doing things until Easter. Apparently, that's not enough for some people. I didn't like this crap with Meghan, and I don't like it now.

Honestly the spotlight is more on William right now and why he has gone about this the way that he has. People are actually worried about Kate And when I say people...I'm not talking about me. I really don't care about this all that much I was a fan of Diana. That is all. And I'm even half British What I have found intriguing are the decisions being made. Just put out the original picture...just put out a video...just do something, anything to make people stop coming up with all the scenarios. Yet...they haven't. And because everything has to include Meghan...people started picking at her and Harry's birth announcement for Lilibet (which was put out over two years ago ) saying that IT was photoshopped. Well the photographer got right on it and posted the original to show what he had done...which was only changing the coloring slightly. But that's how you do it...that's how you dispel rumors and get people to stop talking. If I'm well enough to photoshop my photo, I'm well enough to post the original so everyone would leave me alone. That's what I would do, at least.

They said she'll be seen at Easter, if she isn't, then I'll be concerned. Most photos are digitally altered. William is obviously listening to what the doctors have said. Maybe the medications have made her face puffy, in which case, she needn't do any videos of any sort.

Ahh, see that's where I'm out of the loop. I didn't realize the AP puts out kill notifications on photos regularly Are most photos really THAT digitally altered? I've never heard of a kill notification before That's what got me intrigued.

Page Six also tried to drag the Sussexs into this mess by posting a story saying that Meghan had said something snarky about Kate and the whole photo snafu (using the whole "sources tell us" to cover themselves), and they had to have their official spokesperson go to Newsweek to say "No, that never happened." It's amazing, the lows "news" organizations will stoop to for clicks and engagement now. For whatever reason, Kate's not playing the press game this time around, and good for her because it never ends and it's a losing game. Kate can be filmed in front of the palace tomorrow with a newspaper in her hand showing the date while saying she's okay, and people will say it's AI/a Deep Fake. Unfortunately, this is where we're at as a society now. *sigh*

Instagram has now put a warning under the photo saying that it is an altered photo. They don't do this with just photoshopped pics...where you change the lighting or you maybe make your complexion look better. This picture is a compilation of a few different photos and poorly done at that. People are figuring out that the original may have been taken in November....and with an entirely different back-ground and the kids were made to look like they were in different outfits (thus the weird skirt on Charlotte). Do we really not find this odd? Just don't put out a photo if you aren't feeling well enough to take a new one. Don't go through the trouble of digitally changing a picture (badly) with the end result being a kill notification. Just stay in bed and rest. I don't think Kate photoshopped her picture. But they sure did make her take the blame for it. The whole thing is strange imo...sorry.

Oh wow, that photographer who took H&M's pregnancy announcement is PISSED AS HELL. Apparently the Daily Fail (who has a hate on for Meghan 24/7) not only said the picture was altered, they also claimed he admitted it in a podcast? He's demanding a full apology, and reading between the lines he's probably going to pursue legal action. That's straight up libel. "Unfortunately, there’s been an article on the Daily Mail, saying that I have admitted to doctoring the pregnancy announcement portrait I took of Harry and Meghan. Apparently, I was switching out trees and meadows...this is crazy. No trees or meadows were moved or swapped, this is the image straight out of camera. Also that is a Jacaranda Tree, not a willow tree."
He played the audio from the podcast episode, revealing that it was the interviewer that spoke about editing pictures. "How that exchange could amount to me admitting to doctoring an image is insidious and really dangerous journalism. Any mention of meadows and willow trees came out of the person doing the interview, not my mouth."
He also posted the original picture, writing: ""The original Jpeg without the black and White grade, I expect a full apology and retraction from @dailymail @telegraph"
edit: I can see why he switched to the b/w grade because on the color pic it's obvious that Harry's feet were kinda dirty, lol. I knew it was only a matter of time before the British press tried to drag H&M into this mess.

Maybe it is just because she is closer to the end of her recovery and the King is probably just starting treatment. Give him a chance to rest without any attention from the press. I think she should be left alone, too. The palace put out the statement that she would be back in the public eye after Easter. Let her rest and be hidden. People seem to feel too entitled to know everything about celebrities.

The AFP (Associated French Press) now says that Kensington Palace is no longer a trusted source and that kill notifications typically come from the North Korean news agency or the Iranian news agency. What on earth is going on?!
Pete Souza, the photographer for the Obama's, also weighed in on the situation.
