Kate Middleton's Edited Photo Sparks Controversy

On Sunday, Kensington Palace released a photo of Kate Middleton smiling with her children to celebrate UK Mother's Day, unaware they were about to set off a major international news story. Within hours, the portrait had been recalled by photo agencies over concerns around digital manipulation , and the following day, Kate issued a personal apology.

Kate's admittance of editing the photograph, which was taken by Prince William, did not do much to quiet conspiracy theorists, and soon, outlets like the BBC and New York Times were analyzing the metadata on the picture to try and understand what happened. Analysis of the photograph's metadata by Sky News revealed that the file was saved twice in Adobe Photoshop, once on Friday, March 8 at 9:54 p.m. GMT, and again on Saturday, March 9, at 9:39 a.m. GMT. The camera used to take the photograph was a Canon 5D mark IV, using a Canon 50mm F1.2 lens. They also found the photograph was taken at Adelaide Cottage, the Wales family's home in Windsor
