Kate, UK’s Princess of Wales, says sorry for edited photograph
- Kensington Palace released an altered photograph of Britain’s Princess of Wales on Sunday
- News agencies withdrew the image, the first to be officially released since Kate’s abdominal surgery
Kate, Britain’s Princess of Wales, issued an apology on social media on Monday for “any confusion” caused by an edited photograph which was issued by her office Kensington Palace on Sunday.
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” the message on X said, signed with a “C” meaning it was sent by Kate. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.”
Kensington Palace was under pressure to answer questions about whether the first picture of the Princess of Wales to be released after her surgery has been digitally altered.
The image of Kate and her children, said by the palace to have been taken by the Prince of Wales, was posted on social media.
The photograph was shared with media on Sunday but it was withdrawn by international news agencies later the same day because of concerns that the image had been manipulated.
