Kensington Palace,Kate Middleton,Photo

Kensington Palace released a photo of Kate Middleton and her children, but later retracted it due to image manipulation. News outlets that had published the photo also took it down.

On Sunday, Kensington Palace released a photo of Kate Middleton , the Princess of Wales. The image, also shared to the royal couple’s Instagram account, depicts Middleton seated, smiling, and surrounded by her three children. Purportedly taken by her husband Prince William in Windsor, the photo was widely distributed by wire services like the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Reuters, and Getty Images.

Hours later, those same agencies retracted the image and warned its clients not to use it under any circumstances. “At closer inspection it appears that the source has manipulated this image,” wrote the AP in a so-called kill notification. AFP cited an “editorial issue,” and said that the photo “may no longer be used in any manner.” News outlets that had run the photograph, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, subsequently took it down. As of Sunday evening in the US, William and Kate’s Instagram post remained up. “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months,” the caption reads. “Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day
