Princess of Wales sorry for ‘confusion’ over edited family photo

The picture in question, depicting Ms Kate Middleton with her three children, was released by Kensington Palace for Mother's Day, which in Britain fell on March 10.

The Associated Press was the first to retract the image because “it did not meet” the agency’s expected quality. It cited discrepancies near Princess Charlotte’s left hand, which failed to meet its editorial standards, reported the BBC on March 11. The BBC reported that Kensington Palace, where the Prince and Princess of Wales’ office and London residence are based, said it would not be reissuing the original unedited photograph of the princess and her children.

The photo was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media accounts with a message of gratitude from the princess for the outpouring of support during her recovery, and get-well wishes for Mother’s Day.The image was prominently featured on the front pages of several British newspapers and was used in television news segments, including on the BBC.

Following that decision, Reuters and AFP also withdrew the image after their own post-publication reviews. They were followed by Getty Images and PA. After announcing the princess’ surgery, the Palace has declined to reveal more about her condition, citing privacy concerns. However, this has sparked widespread online speculation, and some wild conspiracy theories.
