Picture agency ‘misleadingly’ labels royal family photo as digitally enhanced

Getty Images has questioned whether a portrait of Prince Archie’s christening was digitally enhanced.The dispute comes after an altered picture of Princess Catherine and her children was withdrawn.A global picture agency prompted a row over a portrait of Prince Archie’s christening after questioning whether it had been digitally enhanced.

“I have very little insight as to why an ‘editor’s note’ was added to the portrait I took at Windsor in July 2019,” he told“I can only confirm that when I raised the matter with Getty Images directly yesterday evening, they subsequently removed the misleading note.”Getty Images told Allerton that the photograph had been “flagged in a recent handout review as needing review” but that the agency had confirmed it had not been manipulated and the note had been removed.

Several international news agencies took the rare step of issuing a “kill” notice because they could not guarantee its authenticity.Catherine admitted that, as an amateur photographer, she did “occasionally experiment with editing”. Close inspection of the image appears to show several inconsistencies, including a vertical line where the tartan of the late Queen’s skirt does not match.

A Reuters spokesman said: “Reuters is updating its procedures related to vetting images from Kensington Palace after confirming a second altered photograph.
