READ MORE:The Princess of Wales has admitted that she edited the Mother's Day portrait that was released by Kensington Palace yesterday and apologised 'for any confusion' that the family photograph has caused.

Despite calls for the original to be published, Kensington Palace said it would not be reissuing the unedited photograph of Kate and her children. A spokesperson for PA said: 'Like other news agencies, PA Media issued the handout image provided by Kensington Palace of the Princess of Wales and her children in good faith yesterday.

'Their challenge is that people will now question whether they can be trusted and believed when they next issue a health update.' Within hours of the photo being shared around the world, multiple picture agencies issued a 'kill notification' - an industry term used to retract a photo previously handed out to publications.

The agency's news values and principles explain that minor photo editing, including cropping and toning and colour adjustments, are acceptable when necessary for clear and accurate reproduction and should maintain the authentic nature of the photograph.It appears Charlotte's hand was copied over from another picture as there is an empty space where her sleeve should be

When AP determined the photo appeared to have been manipulated, it issued what is known as a 'photo kill,' an industry term that retracted the image and instructed clients to remove the photo from their systems. A spokesman for AfP said: 'It has come to light that the Handout issued by Kensington Palace today of Kate and the kids had been altered, therefore it was withdrawn from AFP systems.'

The Princess of Wales has not been seen since she attended the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham The photo of the princess is the first released since she was admitted to the London Clinic, the private hospital where the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate, for a planned operation on January 16.
