Harry and Meghan Markle recently delighted fans by sharing photographs of themselves with their children at their Frogmore Cottage home in the UK.
The pictures were taken during their brief visit to London for the Queen’s Jubilee, marking Lilibet’s first and only trip to the country.
Although the couple left the Platinum Jubilee celebrations early, they made time for a special family photoshoot.
In one of the images, Harry and Meghan can be seen strolling through the garden at Frogmore.
The Duke lovingly carries his daughter Lilibet on his shoulders, while Markle cradles their son Archie in her arms.
Both children are dressed in formal attire, with Lilibet wearing a charming dress, cardigan, and a bow hairband.
Archie looks dapper in a white shirt and jacket.
However, the authenticity of one particular photo has come under scrutiny.
Observers have speculated that the image may have been manipulated using Photoshop, suggesting that the family members were superimposed into the picture.
One eagle-eyed observer even pointed out that the collar of Harry’s shirt is fully visible at the back, raising doubts about the presence of a child on his shoulders.
Critics, such as Benjamin Smallbrook and Quora, have criticized the poor execution of the alleged manipulation, fueling further discussions.
The attention on the photographer, Misson Harriman, couldn’t come at a worse time for Markle, who is already trying to avoid public suspicion.
It seems the photographer might face the consequences of this controversy.
Another point of contention revolves around the proportions in the photo.
Some have noted that the height difference between Harry and Meghan appears off.
In reality, Meghan stands at 5 foot 7 inches, while Harry is 6 foot 1 inch.
However, in the picture, Meghan seems considerably shorter than Harry, failing to reach his shoulders.
To maintain proportionality, Harry would need to be a towering 6 foot 8 inches.
Furthermore, social media users have expressed their observations about Meghan’s interaction with Archie.
One user remarked that Archie always appears limp when held by his mother, suggesting a lack of connection.
Another commenter questioned the repeated use of old photos of Archie, even at his current age, and jokingly wondered how much Netflix paid for the inclusion of Stassie Schroeder’s daughter in the picture.
Adding to the speculation, some individuals noticed discrepancies regarding the children’s travel arrangements.
According to flight records, the kids were not listed on the flight dossier, raising questions about whether they traveled on a commercial flight with their nannies.
Additionally, astute observers pointed out inconsistencies in the shadows cast by the trees in the background, further fueling doubts about the authenticity of the photograph.
While the intention behind sharing these family photos was undoubtedly to offer fans a glimpse into their lives, the resulting speculation has overshadowed the joyous occasion.
Harry and Meghan find themselves under increased scrutiny, as critics analyze every detail of their public appearances.
Only time will tell if these allegations hold any weight, but for now, the couple must weather the storm of speculation surrounding their cherished family moments.
