Princess Kate recently addressed the controversy surrounding a Mother’s Day photo she shared, amidst claims that the image had been altered.

The Prince and Princess of Wales delighted fans with a charming family portrait on Mother’s Day.

Captured by Prince William, the photo featured Kate seated at the forefront, flanked by Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte, while Prince George stood proudly behind them.

However, the picture faced scrutiny for alleged editing, prompting Princess Kate to speak out.

Taking to social media platform X, Princess Kate personally penned a message to clarify the situation.

She revealed, “Like many amateur photographers, I sometimes experiment with editing.

I’m thrilled about the family photo we shared yesterday.

I just wanted to express my apologies for any confusion caused.”

The photo was initially shared with the press on Sunday but was swiftly retracted by international photo agencies over concerns of potential manipulation.

Sources close to the royal family disclosed that the adjustments made by Princess Kate were minor, emphasizing the couple’s intention to present an informal family snapshot in celebration of Mother’s Day.

Describing their Mother’s Day as delightful, the source shared, “The Wales family spent quality time together and enjoyed a wonderful day.”

Despite the explanation, the lack of an official statement has fueled speculations online, adding to existing conspiracy theories surrounding Kate, particularly following her recent medical procedure.

In the controversial photo, Kate can be seen seated in a chair, embracing Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on either side, while Prince George stands tall behind them, all sporting bright smiles for the camera.
