The King of the Netherlands seemed to subtly throw shade at the Princess of Wales, who is currently recuperating from stomach surgery in January.

In a recently surfaced video clip, the Dutch King was seen conversing with a young girl who mentioned having a picture with his entire family.

William’s response raised eyebrows as he quipped, “Really?

At least I didn’t photoshop it.”

Aged 56 and reigning for over a decade, the King’s comment alluded to the recent photoshop scandal involving Kate.

The Princess of Wales, absent from public view since December, issued a statement through X earlier this week, expressing regret for any confusion stemming from a newly shared photo last week.

Kensington Palace unveiled an endearing image of Princess Kate alongside her three children – 10-year-old Prince George, 8-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 5-year-old Prince Louis – on Mother’s Day, observed on March 10th.

Following the photo’s release over the weekend, the Royal Family faced allegations of photo manipulation, with keen-eyed fans spotting discrepancies in the image.

Speculation arose particularly around Princess Charlotte’s cardigan appearing altered on the left arm, and suspicions were also raised about the absence of Kate’s wedding ring in the picture.

In response, the mother of three clarified in a statement, acknowledging her occasional editing experiments and apologizing for any resulting confusion while extending Mother’s Day wishes.
