Even Photoshop can’t erase British royals’ latest PR blemish


A combination of pictures made on March 11, 2024 shows a handout photo released by Kensington Palace on March 10, 2024 of Britain's Catherine, Princess of Wales with her children, alongside a version highlighting several inconsistencies in alignments after it came to light that the handout had been manipulated. AFP and other leading agencies withdrew the image, the first to be released since she underwent abdominal surgery, after the inconsitencies were identified, including a missing part on Charlotte's sleeve, Charlotte's hair ending abruptly on her shoulder and the zip on the Princess of Wales being lighter than the rest of it. — Photo by Prince of Wales/Kensington Palace/AFP
