Yesterday, the National Service of Thanksgiving in dedication took place at St Giles’ Cathedral, where King Charles III was presented with the Honours of Scotland on July 5th, 2023.
However, amidst this significant event, another story caught the attention of many.
Prince Harry made an appearance with his daughter, Lilibet, at an Independence Day parade in Montecito, just hours before his father’s second coronation ceremony in Edinburgh.
As the United States celebrated its independence from British rule on July 4th, Harry seemed to emphasize his detachment from the royal family by attending the California celebration with his two-year-old daughter.
Meanwhile, King Charles was preparing for a momentous occasion in the country where his second son once called home.
Surprisingly, Harry was not invited to the coronation, leading some to speculate that he sought to overshadow his father’s moment.
Accompanied by other family members, including Prince William and Catherine, the King and Queen Camilla were honored at a prestigious event held at St Giles’ Cathedral.
Princess Catherine looked stunning in a blue ensemble, capturing attention with her presence.
It appeared that their own public appearances were not generating enough buzz, so they attempted to compete against the Scottish visit they were excluded from.
However, even the photos of Harry and Lilibet failed to create the desired impact.
This was the first time Harry had been photographed with his daughter, as Meghan usually shares such moments when he is out of town.
Despite their efforts, the public response to the pictures was underwhelming.
Furthermore, there are claims that the images were manipulated using Photoshop, raising doubts about the authenticity of the children’s identities.
One critic pointed out that Lilibet’s dress and red shoes resembled those worn by Princess Charlotte, suggesting possible alterations to the photo.
Some even questioned the existence of the “invisible children.”
The Raw Grift on YouTube highlighted an online tool used to detect photoshop alterations in pictures.
According to the tool, unaltered photos appear dark or black, while altered areas are lightly or heavily highlighted, depending on the severity of the changes made.
When the picture of Lily and Harry was analyzed using this tool, it revealed that the flag area with the name on it had been added in post-production or through photoshop.
Additionally, the original photo showed a man in a brown shirt carrying the little girl, while the altered version featured Harry’s arm, complete with his signature wrist accessory.
However, the shirt color was not changed to match Harry’s attire.
Furthermore, discrepancies were noted in the positioning of people in the background, suggesting possible manipulation through photoshop.
The presence of individuals wearing elaborate hats also raised suspicions.
It is believed that these people may have been added to create the illusion that Harry was mingling with the crowd without any security.
Others pointed out that Archie appeared smaller and blonder than in previous images, leading them to conclude that the entire set of pictures was staged.
In each photo, the people seem aware that the picture is being taken, except for Harry, who hired them.
This inconsistency raised doubts among viewers, with some expressing their skepticism about the authenticity of the event.
One American viewer shared their perspective, stating that the parade seemed unusually small compared to any 4th of July celebration they had attended.
They noted that even small neighborhood parades with just children on bikes attracted more spectators.
This observation added to the overall sense of skepticism surrounding the pictures.
As speculation continues to circulate, it remains unclear whether Meghan indeed used Photoshop to manipulate the images.
The controversy surrounding the authenticity of the photos raises questions about the motives behind their release and the narrative being presented.
With the ongoing tensions between Harry and the royal family, each public appearance seems to carry significant weight, further fueling the ongoing media frenzy surrounding the couple.
