The release of a family photo of the Princess of Wales with her three children has sparked controversy and conspiracy theories after it was revealed that the image had been edited. Major international picture agencies pulled the photograph amid concerns of manipulation. Analysis of the photo's metadata found that it had been saved in photo editing software twice, raising questions about the authenticity of the image.
It was supposed to be a family photo to mark Mother's Day - and to quell speculation about Kate's health post-surgery. But the release of the picture of the Princess of Wales with her three children has backfired spectacularly, with the royal taking the blame for editing it.
Major international picture agencies pulled the photograph amid concerns 'the source had manipulated the image' after people cited several peculiarities, including issues with Princess Charlotte's sleeve, the uneven pattern on Prince Louis's jumper and the window frame behind Prince George. This sparked more controversy and conspiracy theories about the princess - with Kate forced to admit she had edited the photograph. Analysis of the photo's metadata by Sky News' data & forensics unit found the image had been saved in photo editing software Adobe Photoshop twice on an Apple Mac - but it is unclear if it was saved on the same device. The first save was made at 9.54pm on Friday night, with the second at 9.39am on Saturday morning
