Lovely photo. The children look happy and Catherine looks like she has regained much of her health. I hope she continues to heal in privacy.

Of course, the complaints have already started.

The Princess is not wearing her wedding rings. Maybe she's on a prescription that causes her hands to swell. Also, some women don't wear their rings daily, around the house. I don't wear my engagement ring because it gets caught on things and I get soap buildup in it all the time. When I'm cooking it gets all gunked up with the food I'm handling and when I wear nitrile gloves the ring tears a hole. So I don't wear my engagement ring all the time.

Charlotte's hand was badly photoshopped. Was it? Or was the photo distorted when it was blown up by someone looking for flaws?

Note: Louis has lost a tooth.

You missed:

She's sitting because she's unable to walk, she's paralyzed.

The photo was taken last year.

She's wearing skinny jeans. You're supposed to wear loose clothing after abdominal surgery (probably from the same people who were insisting that nobody needs 2 months to recuperate from abdominal surgery.)

She wasn't sick. She's been trying to save her marriage.

My favorite was that she's been in hiding because William beat her to a pulp and she needed plastic surgery.

What a great picture. Catherine looks wonderful. The kids have grown like weeds. Look how George has put his arms around his Mum. Charlotte and Louis have gotten in as close to Mum as possible. The emotions are real.
The Lumps can complain and lie all they want. Catherine's privacy was maintained and...this one photo has blown everything a certain twosome has done since the first of the year right out of the water. so much for the "appearances" this Fri. and Sat.

Mother's Day photo is pulled over 'manipulation' fears

Posted by Susan T on March 10, 2024, 6:51 pm, in reply to "Official pic: Princess of Wales"

It was a beautiful Mother's Day image designed to calm nerves and quell vicious internet speculation about the Princess of Wales's condition.

But last night questions were raised over possible digital manipulation of a new family photograph showing Kate with her three children.

The image is the first time Kate, 42, has been pictured publicly – officially at least – since undergoing abdominal surgery in January. But in an extraordinary development last night, foreign picture agencies including Reuters, AP, Getty and AFP withdrew the picture, saying it may have been digitally manipulated.

Sigh!!!!!!
It seems the photo is genuine.
Now a sudden extreme concern that a pic might have been manipulated!
I despair!

Sussex smear campaign? Why are the agencies screaming about this when they regularly publish manipulated photos of TO and TOS?

One comment in the DM made sense. The person said produce the "raw", unedited photos before the media outlets edited them (the same person stated there has to be more than one photo submitted to the media). It can be then proven that the photo was the fault of the media for sloppy and/or "manipulated" editing.
This could see the end of any photos from the Prince and Princess of Wales and family, unless ones take officially by the Palace. This BS is getting out of hand and the media is just as much to blame.

Hopefully, the next time we see a photo of This One with a full head of auburn hair, that photo will get pulled.

Mother's Day Photo Suffers "Awkward Editing Fail"

This article just appeared. Just who performed the "awkward editing" is notably absent.

I don't see Charlotte's arm looking disconnected. It looks like she pulled her shoulder back a li5leand her hair is over her shoulder.

The agencies had better pull all the Sussex photos.

Now the DM is blaming KP for the editing. We know about the fluff over the Wale's Christmas card. IF KP had made an error over editing the card, I'm sure their media staff would go to the ends of the earth not to repeat the same mistake 3 months later. It's funny that Edward's photo released for his birthday was fine and photos released of the other Senior Royals haven't had "errors". It's only the photos concerning the Wale's family. Why would KP do such sloppy editing or purposely manipulate the photos? They have no reason for it.

The Princess of Wales has apologised "for any confusion" after she admitted editing a Mother's Day photograph of her and her children.

I have studied the picture and really don’t see what they are all talking about. The only thing that I found odd was her not having her wedding ring on. Not even the wedding band. Obviously, there was some editing if the Princess said so. This does add some mystery to what is going on with the Princess, and I do understand that she wants privacy ,but she is a public person so it makes many wonder what the story is.

If it's as "edited" as some are claiming, it seems to have taken a lot more skill with a computer than with a camera.

Can you just accept the Princess' apology. What was a lovely photo of the Princess and her children, which was issued on Mother's Day here in the UK, as a 'thank you' for all the kind wishes that have been sent to the Princess has been wrecked by all the speculation and conspiracies being bandied about. Let it rest. We will see her in due time.

I wasn't rejecting her apology --just... I wouldn't know the first thing about making all these edits. I can barely resize a photo with the cropping tool.

A very lovely and gracious gesture that's been ruined by "experts" making a big fuss over nothing. I can imagine the extra stress the Prince and Princess of Wales plus their children are going through. They don't need it. I wouldn't blame Catherine and William if we don't see any photos from them for a long, long time. Unfortunately, the UK public and fans as we are, suffer for it, but damage has been done to William and Catherine.

Next photo?

Posted by Martha on March 11, 2024, 9:33 pm, in reply to "Re: Catherine apologizes for the editing of the photo"

Maybe the Waleses should stop releasing photos for a while. Until Louis is 18, anyway.

I agree with you, Martha.

I think the position of Groom of the Stool should be reinstated for both the King's Household and the Wales Household. The Groom could release daily updates on all toilet visits and include photos of the Royal bowel movements. The media seems to think it should be told everything, so let them the Royal toilet uses. That should shut them up.
