Princess Kate apologizes for altered photo, sparking controversy and speculation about her health and the royal family.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, on March 11 apologised over an altered official photo that saw news agencies, including AFP, pull the image from their systems.
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” Ms. Kate wrote in a statement.
Earlier, Britain’s royal family faced mounting pressure to explain how an official photo of Catherine, Princess of Wales had been altered, after AFP and other agencies withdrew the image.
Ms. Kate, 42, has not been seen in public since attending a Christmas Day church service, and underwent abdominal surgery in January, fuelling speculation about her health, particularly online.
Her Kensington Palace office on Sunday sought to dispel rumours by distributing an official photograph said to have been taken by her husband Prince William of her with their three children.
But questions quickly emerged of the Mother’s Day portrait of a smiling Kate, casually dressed and seated in a garden chair, surrounded by Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Closer examination showed specifically that Charlotte’s left hand was misaligned with the sleeve of her cardigan.
