Prince of Wales took photo of Princess of Wales and their children in Windsor earlier this week and posted on social media...

Then Kate Middleton admitted to editing family photo after wires flagged manipulation concerns.
This is getting a bit bizarre now. Why would she do that?
People on Internet aren't stupid....
How we can trust that future photos are real?

The Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, EPA, Getty, Reuters and the UK’s leading news agency PA are among those that have so far recalled the photo.

Kensington Palace has said it would not be reissuing the original unedited photograph of Kate and her children.

I'm not sure what the issue is. Why wouldn't a celebrity photo posted online for promotional purposes be edited? They're all edited.

There is already rampant speculation about what her surgery was, & this non release of the original photo will only add to it.

Stupid move.

OK she had surgery.
Why edit the picture?

She's gorgeous. No picture they'd ever release would ever have her looking bad or tired, or haggard anyway....whether she's recently out of hospital or not.

So I don't get why she, or they (whoever "they" are), would doctor a photo in the first place.

Her statement says: “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies..."

Please. Like SHE is the one who actually took the photo and did the editing of the photo. Stop it.

Did she edit out a zit or a scar?

Maybe she added herself into that picture. Or someone else did it for her or her husband...
To stop the gossip.

So what? She could have used a stock photo.

So what?
It's an elaborate act to mislead the public.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...gns-of-editing

The princess has now admitted she edited the photograph but not why or what she edited out. At this stage, privacy does not work. It breeds rumour, gossip and fabrication. When fake news and fake pictures are rampant, secrecy is the enemy of truth. Just say what the matter is. It is more likely to generate respect.

^ I'm with elnina on this.

I just don't understand this misstep on their part.

Doctoring a news photo is just plain wrong.
And once they release it, it's news photo. None of this private family photo BS.

According to one source, that photo was AI generated, or photoshopped.
It's possible that she fiddled with the software herself and was satisfied with the result.
That would give her more time to recuperate and rest. Then her staff handed it over to the press, without a further thought of its implication. Hmm
