Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, children of Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, there were notable absences. They did not go to Balmoral, where the whole family gathered, in what was known to be the Queen’s last summer was there.

How was the photo manipulated?

The photo, taken at Balmoral in August 2022, was reviewed by Getty Images, after the princess admitted to editing a photo of herself and her three children for Mother’s Day.

A Getty spokesperson said: “Getty Images has reviewed the image in question and placed an ‘editor’s note’ on it, indicating that the image it has been digitally enhanced at the source“.

A close inspection of the image seems to show several inconsistenciesincluding a vertical line where the tartan on Queen Elizabeth’s skirt doesn’t match.

It seems a dark shadow behind Prince Louis’ earand you can see a small black spot similar behind the collar of Prince George’s shirt. There are also signs of digital repeating of Mia Tindall’s hair.

Photos are a form used by the Welsh to preserve your privacy and not give access to professional photographers to their residences or private businesses. Until now Kate was the photographer.

Both she and Prince William They are eager to put the drama behind them and focus on your work again.

Even the video that a fan sold to The Sun newspaper and which shows him visiting the Windsor organic market was demonized online: Some believe she is a body double and that the real Kate is dead..

A Russian agency published on Monday that King Charles III he had died unexpectedly. He also showed a statement from Buckingham Palace. It was false. The King was seen leaving Windsor Palace for London today to greet Korean War veterans at Buckingham Palace.

The photos so as not to give explanations

Sunday’s Mother’s Day photo of Kate posing with her children at her Windsor home was intended to reassure the public that she was fit and well after several weeks out of the public eye while recovering from a abdominal surgery. With it she did not provide any explanation about her state of health or what type of recovery is underway. Nobody knows what he was operated on for neither What type of cancer does King Charles III have?

But the photo had the opposite effect and served to fuel conspiracy theories about his health and whereabouts.

“Like many amateur photographers, I experiment with editing from time to time,” the princess said in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, late Monday.

“I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion caused by the family photograph we shared yesterday. I hope everyone who celebrated had a happy Mother’s Day. C.”

AND such is the level of curiosity about the health of the princess, who last Monday The Sun reported on its front page that she had been seen on Saturday in a farm produce shop in Windsor. The amateur video was purchased by The Sun and many doubt its authenticity.
