Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

No. That isn't even a remotely similar situation.

Talk about fuelling the fire.

In terms of the photo one theory is it may have been an amalgam of a few different photos edited because they couldn’t get one photo with all the kids smiling the way they are in this photo.

Sounds plausible I have to say - I guess with all the talk of Catherine over the last while it’s just fuelled the speculation

It's perfectly possible there is an innocent explanation for the photo editing mishap - surprised nobody on their team though spotted the potential for controversy.

I agree with you, but it's disappointing to say the least that the merging wasn't done professionally. They have a superb PR team, but this is a major dropped ball by somebody.

Now, moving on...

Louis had a missing finger in their Christmas card.

Kate is saying she did the retouching herself. Their PR team wasn't involved. Seemingly William took the photo.

Unusual that Kate is able to wear skin tight jeans after recent abdominal surgery! She surely is superwoman with amazing healing. Surprised she isn't back to work two weeks after surgery.

And why is she not wearing her rings?

Think I saw mentioned earlier that questions were raised about a family photo shortly after Princess Charlotte was born, and how they may have edited her face from another photo where she was smiling and looking at the camera.

Either way, it obviously calls into question all photos they've previously released and if/how they've been edited. A light touch up here and there, sure what about it. The thing with Charlotte's sleeve in this one though is so bizarre and not part of touching up a photo, it's far more into editing/stitching territory, and a) isn't something you'd expect the Princess to be doing herself in a photo to be officially released and especially given the nature of her recent surgery and this being her first official photo following that surgery not to mention the fact they have huge PR teams at their disposal, and b) isn't something you'd expect would be required if it was just a family photo of her and her kids on Mother's Day.

Kate saying she did it herself and just experiments with photo editing seems to be a way of dismissing the errors in the photo (her being an amateur), but doesn't explain why some of those errors occurred. Again, Charlotte's sleeve, what editing and why was any editing required there?

is she just after leaving the wierdo ?

Oops indeed, it does seem a bit off.

There are going to be some great memes off the back of this....

Maybe the tinfoil hat is warranted....

It's getting very odd now.

I can understand her not wanting to be photographed looking unwell or swollen, and having it out there forever, but it's bizarre that they released a doctored photo and thought no one would notice.

Her and William were pictured earlier, but she's looking away from the camera.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I caught a snippet on the news earlier, think it was Jenny Bond, the royal correspondent. Anyway, she basically said its a non story and people need to drop it. Reading between the lines, she knows what the personal issue is, and thinks people need to back off and leave them to deal with it in private.

I knew moment I saw it that it looked photoshopped, before anyone in media said so. It just didn't look right to be, the head size etc
