A royal photo meant for joy turned into an unexpected controversy! ✨
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, issued an apology after a Mother's Day portrait with her three children, taken by Prince William, stirred unexpected speculation.
The image, the first since Kate's recent surgery, aimed to dispel rumors about her absence from public life. Unfortunately, it faced backlash as news agencies withdrew it, citing manipulation concerns.
Major outlets like AP, AFP, Reuters, Getty Images, The New York Times and The Washington Post retracted or removed the photo.
Observers noted inconsistencies, focusing on Princess Charlotte's hand alignment, sparking online health speculations. Kate addressed the controversy with a candid social media post admitting to editing the image before sending it.
"I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused."
