Kate, Princess of Wales, apologized on Monday for “confusion” caused by her alteration of a family photo provided by the palace — an image of Kate and her children that was supposed to alleviate concern and speculation about the British royal’s health, but had the opposite effect.
Several news organizations that originally published the photo, including The Associated Press, removed it due to suspicions about digital alteration. The couple’s Kensington Palace staff released the first official portrait of Kate following her stomach surgery nearly two months ago on Sunday in honor of Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom.
The palace has already released various family photos of Kate and Prince William with their children, Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8), and Prince Louis (5). Kensington Palace confirmed that William took the most recent snapshot.
Kate wrote in an accompanying social media message: “Thank you for your warm wishes and continuing support over the last two months. I wish everyone a happy Mother’s Day.
While there was no indication that the photo was fabricated, AP retracted it after further investigation discovered that the source had modified the image in a way that did not fit AP’s photo standards. For example, the photograph contains a discrepancy in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.
