Princess Kate<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Photoshop saga continues. Although the 42-year-old royal admitted to \u201cediting\u201d<\/a> the Mother\u2019s Day social media post, online users are still speculating the authenticity of the image. Not only that, but Instagram has added a label to the post that reads, \u201cAltered photo\/video. The same altered photo was reviewed by independent fact-checkers in another post.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last weekend, the Princess of Wales\u2019 Instagram account shared a post in honor of U.K. Mother\u2019s Day. The image featured Kate in the middle of her three children \u2014 Prince George, Princes Charlotte and Prince Louis<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 whom she shares with husband Prince William<\/strong><\/a>. Shortly after sharing the photo, countless Instagram users pointed out discrepancies within the image, from misalignments to more Photoshop mistakes.<\/p>\n

Upon seeing the backlash, Kate released a statement to X and to her Instagram Stories, confessing that she was the one who edited the picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,\u201d she explained. \u201cI wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite her explanation, the damage was done \u2014 fans around the world weighed in on the situation, and some claimed that it was an AI-generated picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, who else thinks this Kate Middleton with her kids photo is put together by AI?\u201d on person tweeted earlier this week. \u201cWho else thinks the whole photo of Kate Middleton released by Kensington Palace was AI-generated?\u201d another weighed in, while a separate person tweeted<\/a>, \u201cFor those still trying to figure out #KateGate, the problem is they doctored (not edited) the photo to DECEIVE the public into accepting it as proof of life. These are public figures and part of the UK government. What else have they lied about [sic]?\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the public backlash over the snapshot, the Associated Press issued a \u201ckill notification\u201d for any agency or outlet that shared the photo. \u201cAt closer inspection, it appears that the source has manipulated the image,\u201d the AP wrote in its message<\/a> to journalists and reporters. \u201cNo replacement photo will be sent. Please remove it from all platforms, including social, where it may be visible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The public\u2019s complaints over Kate\u2019s photo flub comes amid her absence<\/a> from public events. Earlier this year, she was hospitalized for a \u201cplanned abdominal\u201d procedure<\/a>, and Kensington Palace reassured fans that she was recovering at home. The palace also noted in its initial statement that Kate was not expected to return to public duties until \u201cafter Easter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
