The Princess of Wales confessed she edited her official photo that was later retracted by leading news agencies.

“Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months,” the caption for the post on X and Instagram said. “Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C”Released to the media by Kensington Palace, the same photo marks the first official glimpse of the Princess of Wales, who last made a public appearance on December 25, and was widely distributed by news agencies like the Associated Press , AFP, and Reuters.
There has been long speculation about her whereabouts, and instead of calming the online conjecture, it seems the photo and subsequent retraction by the international news agencies “has done completely the opposite.”, “The overall point why this is difficult, is that this photograph is to reassure us that the Princess of Wales is well and happy,” adding that, “It’s been counterproductive because the photograph, which as I said was meant to reassure us, has done completely the opposite.
Reuters picture editors also reportedly say there appear to be visual discrepancies on part of the sleeve of Princess Charlotte’s cardigan, and in a statement said it had removed the picture after a post-publication review."We are reviewing the matter," a spokesperson said. Most news agencies and wires only allow minimal photo editing, such as cropping and colour adjustments, and have strict rules against manipulating images that entail elements added or removed to maintain credibility.
