Kensington Palace loses trusted source rating on AP Photos after Royal photo scandal

Kensington Palace has lost its trusted source rating on image agency The Associated Press following the Royal Family photo mishap, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.

The scandal occurred on Mother’s Day in Britain after a family photo taken of Kate and her children was issued by the Palace to AP, only for it to be withdrawn hours later over concerns it had been digitally manipulated. The picture was intended to quash speculation about the Princess’ health after she had abdominal surgery for an unspecified condition.

Kate then issued a statement on Monday, admitting she had edited the photo and apologising for any confusion caused from the doctored photo. “Fox News reports – Kensington Palace is ‘absolutely not’ a ‘trusted source’ anymore following Princess Kate Middleton's edited Instagram photo, according to a leading photo agency,” Mr Houghton said.
