Yahoo Lifestyle Kate Middleton Just Issued A Statement About Her Badly Photoshopped Picture
People have been speculating about Kate Middleton's whereabouts for weeks now.
She underwent abdominal surgery at the beginning of the year and hasn't been spotted at any public appearances since Christmas 2023,
The Royal Palace has said, "[The] Princess of Wales, who is recovering from abdominal surgery, continues to be doing well."
Then, last week, she was spotted in a car.
And yesterday, they posted a badly photoshopped picture of Kate and the kids for Mother's Day:
The pic is a mess.

As this photographer said, there are many "unexplainable issues."
I wasn’t in on this whole conspiracy about Kate Middleton missing and the royals covering it up until they dropped this obviously fake photo today to appease public concern.I do photography, and work with post processing/editing a lot … here are just a few unexplainable issues pic.twitter.com/O0NBUpIYru

It's so bad that three international photo agencies refuse to run the "manipulated" image.
No comment from Kensington Palace tonight after at least 3 international pictures agencies refuse to distribute this morning’s photo of Kate and her children. Some of them (@AP ) have claimed “the source [the palace] has manipulated the image”. pic.twitter.com/ppOwDtPr9P

This has pretty much never happened before!
I’ve never been much of a conspiracy theorist but if @AP @AFP @Reuters & other picture agencies are concerned enough to remove it and ask clients to delete it, there are serious questions for Kensington Palace - which was the source of the photo.These appears to be the issues 👇 https://t.co/ifcSB9mUzu pic.twitter.com/bH5gN9fJtJ

And now, Kate is addressing the picture head on.
She posted this statement on X:
Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C

"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she says. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C"
Unfortunately, that hasn't done much to stop the conspiracies.
I guess we'll see what happens next.
