Poor Palace. Damned if you do; Damned if you don't. Eh. While I’m agreement that the rabid speculation is a bit much, as are some of the conspiracies I’ve seen, this wouldn’t have happened if their PR didn’t mess this up from the beginning and keep compounding it. If they had done this release well, knowing that speculation is abound right now, I think more of the mainstream public would have backed off. There are always going to be those that are a bit more rabid about the royal family, and there is nothing short of Kate making a public appearance that would appease them. But of the general public, it is their PR’s ineptitude that adds to the furor.

I don't understand any of this. Why does it matter when she took the photo or if she edited it? She didn't ps out a dead body, she tweaked a picture. Did she ever state this is an unaltered photo taken on this exact date? What was she even apologizing for?? This is all very bizarre. Honestly, I am confused as to why this is important. I believe that it must be, because apparently some big papers removed the photo. But I am not sure why it matters. Because we need to be able to trust the images we see from our news agencies. We need to know that they haven’t been manipulated in a manner that alters things too much. If they had only photoshopped her face or a few little tweaks it would have been one thing. But when they start allowing things like moving Charlotte’s hand entirely, they decided that’s too far and doesn’t meet their criteria. Even with the hand, from the bit posted above it seems like they may have allowed it if an explanation from the source accompanied the photo if the scene wasn’t altered. Eta: I have zero issues with the photo being photoshopped, I assume any photos they release are. Especially with so many people/children in the photo and knowing how much it will be scrutinized, everyone needs to look their best. And I suspect had the original accompanied the one that was altered with a reason why, this may not even be an issue with those new agencies. The poor quality of that photoshop job is absurd and will obviously only raise more questions with all the gossip going on right now. And that is entirely on KP PR. They should be better than this, especially as they’ve been given a hard time for other poorly photoshopped pics. Learn from your mistakes people.

The only thing that stands out to me in this photo is that Kate is wearing jeans. I've had major abdominal surgery and jeans weren’t an option for a long time. If this is a current photo, she has my full respect.
I wish her well and hope she has a full and speedy recovery.

I really feel like the Super Bowl advertised a phone that was automatically taking multiple pictures and compiling the best images into one…but red eye reduction still isn’t allowed? 😬🙄
Honestly I don’t know how it can be said they botched from the beginning…the palace announced she was having abdominal surgery and would be in hospital and then would be recovering through Easter. They could have lied and said she was on holiday for months. 🤷♀️
And the jerks and rabid internet then decided that meant William was beating her and or killed his cousin’s husband for some nefarious reason linked to Catherine and or she was pregnant with an affair baby and on and on and on with crazy disgusting “theories.”
The social media bullying and demands are insane, and a picture they put out for Mother’s Day on their Instagram/website came under this craziness. Kind of seems like the nexus was mad no one hit a pic they could sell vs a family photo snap.
If I was them I wouldn’t be releasing the children’s birthday pictures anymore and only letting George be photographed sparingly at the rare official function.
Meanwhile why isn’t the internet rabid about the King and his health and procedures?
Hmm I can’t put my finger on why a man who is far more important to the taxpaying public isn’t being torn apart the same…

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 WTF Amateur photographer editing is using an 8 yr old Vogue cover shoot photo? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 How did they remove the shadow from her face that is in the Vogue photo? Isn’t that insanely difficult to do? And catchlights are different too. And her eyebrows look heavier in one photo.

Here is a close up of the two photos. They are clearly not the same.
This is beyond ridiculous now. Maybe even worse than the fake Melania stories.
What exactly do people think they are covering up?

The same people who so poorly edited the family photo aren’t capable of aging her like that from the original Vogue photo. I think that’s just a matter of someone who smiles for a living having the exact same facial expression in the photos, and they are taken from the same angle. I’d be curious to see if there are others very similar to this.

So Catherine has the same face she's always had?? Not sure that "proves" anything beyond she hasn't has all the cosmetic procedures that some people want to believe she's had. And the jerks and rabid internet then decided that meant William was beating her and or killed his cousin’s husband for some nefarious reason linked to Catherine and or she was pregnant with an affair baby and on and on and on with crazy disgusting “theories I think a LOT of that is driven by the rabid Harry & Meghan fans, they have both weaponized their claims racism within the RF and aimed it particularly at Catherine. They've complained extensively about their own treatment in the media - yet they have consistently encouraged the narrative that ensures the same thing happens to happen to Catherine. The hatred some of them have for Catherine is next level, they actually want her dead, or even more preferable they want her to have tried to kill herself. I think some of them are deluded enough to think if that happens Harry & Meghan will become the next King & Queen.

No doubt Harry & Meghan and their acolytes are enjoying their schadenfreude just now. In dipping a caution toe into the cesspool formerly known as "Twitter," there are entire accounts devoted to savagely disparaging either the RF or H&M. One would think that all of this is in some way significant to the rest of us.

Well - that was so predictable, that I almost wrote it in the bottom of my post myself because I knew it wouldn't take one of the three stooges long. But you are 100% wrong. I don't like Meghan and Harry - and that's based on what I have heard them say in their own words in interviews and their TV shows and books. Go back and check every single one of my posts and you'll see that I while have had many options about what they have done and said publicly and I have called him a spoiled brat many times, and her a liar. However I don't have energy to "hate" them...I've never brought into a single conspiracy theory about them, I have never suggested either of them should die or harm themselves, nor do I make up irrational, ridiculous stories about them. You may not agree with my opinions, but those opinions are based on factual actions & events. But that doesn't fit into your black & white narrow little way of thinking does it? Not liking someone and thinking they have made some bad life choices is by no stretch of the imagination the same thing as wanting someone to kill themselves, or wish them dead or believe rumors that he beats his wife or that she has multiple affairs and abortions and is currently locked up in an asylum. I thought even you with your limited thought process that only extends to one line could see the difference - but obviously not.
