Here’s what to know about the troubling situation with THAT photo of Kate and her three children, according to the experts.
Royal News – Kate’s Photo Fail
After months of Kate’s continuing public absence, the palace relented and released a charming pic of the future queen surrounded by Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Kate had abdominal surgery in January and is not expected to perform public royal duties until after Easter.
The public grew impatient waiting for a sign that all is well with Kate, thus Kensington Palace coughed up “the first official photo to be published of Kate since undergoing abdominal surgery in January.”
“But within hours of the photo being shared around the world, multiple picture agencies issued a ‘kill notification’ – an industry term used to retract a photo previously handed out to publications.”

According to Daily Mail, AP issued this ominous message “This photo is believed to be digitally altered and as a result many major news outlets have pulled the image from their reports.”
Royal expert Peter Hunt said “This is damaging for the royals. They knew there would be intense interest in any picture they released of Kate. Their challenge is that people will now question whether they can be trusted and believed when they next issue a health update.”

AP said there was “no suggestion the photo was fake” but stated that “the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet the agency’s photo standards.”

Which sounds like 6 of one and a half dozen of the other—the cautious words only fanned the flames of outrageous conspiracy theories. Harry and Meghan could not have orchestrated a royal better scandal in a million years of trying.

Additionally “AP said its editorial standards state that images must be accurate and that it does not use altered or digitally manipulated images.”
While AP did not reveal how, why, or who edited the pic, the palace later gave clarification that only served to show how chaotic the situation there is.
According to an official royal source, William took the pic, and Kate changed it, something she later acknowledged.
Fans had a range of reactions with one commenting “This is crazy leave the royal family alone and let her recover” and another posting “Lies were coming from Harry and Meghan?
Now it’s your turn royal fans, what do you think of this bruhaha?
