Kate, Princess of Wales - not seen this year.

The kind of adjustments in this photo are not exactly just brightening the image or using Magic Eraser. I do not buy that Kate, apparently on Mother's Day, fired up Photoshop and started working on the fine detail of a family pic entirely by herself.
Precisely touching up a spot is one thing, but this is more invasive
 
Well feel free to bang on about it then. And I don’t aim that at you. I still find the whole thing bewildering that grown men sit around gossiping about a photograph. This is conspiracy theorising of the worst kind in my opinion and frankly a joke.
Why do you feel the need to unfairly minimise analysing what on earth is going on with our unelected head of state. If we were in North Korea you’d be one of the party line towing people that grassed people up to authorities for not bowing down to praise the exulted leader before starting a hard days work
 
Sorry fella, but you don't get to silence me with that kind of nonsense. If I choose to respond on royal matters, I will, in my own little way helping to break the myth of their harmless status and 'benefit to the nation'. If we all do our bit, then they become accountable, same some people would rathergive them the protection they want.

I will choose to tackle what I choose to tackle, you don't get to decide that. Instead of having an ad hominem attack on me, why don't YOU attack the water companies?
You knock yourself out fella, go for it. The only person it winds up is yourself.
Yet despite the thread title being not at all vague you've actually made more contributions to the thread than I have 🤔

Yet, you opened it up of your own volition and here we are.
What, you've gone through and counted how many posts I've made and how many you have. 🤣
 
So the woman who hasn't appeared in public for months due to an unspecified illness, had found the time to edit a photo, without the involvement or knowledge of their media team?

Ok.

eh? Shes not been seen in public so therefore she can’t possibly use her phone or laptop to edit photos like pretty much everyone is capable of doing these days?

The most likely theory is she’s pieced together 2 or 3 similar photos so that every is smiling / looking at the camera / eyes open. You can literally do it with the press of a few buttons in your mobile phone.




What’s your theory? Lizards?
 
be upfront and honest ..... bit strange the future king altering pictures
It's supposed to be her that has edited not him. If you choose to believe the origin of that statement on twitter.

I'm not gonna speculate on exactly what has happened, only the facts that the picture released was photoshopped and we aren't talking touch ups.

In it's published format the picture was fake.

The royal angle is that Kate took it upon herself to edit this photo badly, with some unaddressed aim, that was more than just adjusting colours and that caused AP to withdraw it.

It's plausible, but on the balance of probabilities either isn't true or isn't the entire story. moving elements of the image around (or possible blending of more than one image) as has clearly been done, does not fit with the explanation.

There isn't enough evidence to know the full truth of this, unfortunately, so without a whistleblower then all that we have is further distrust of royal statements. But then my trust is already pretty low anyway.

I think you’re desperate for some big conapiracy that just isn’t there

What’s your theory then? Lizards?
Surely you can't be so naive to think that she is hands on with any of her media releases?

Come on, you must be smarter than that?

Everything that is released is carefully planned, vetted and approved.

Do you actually think she has edited and released this photo as claimed, because I don't for a second.
 
Fair enough.

You’re being lied to for unspecified reasons 👍🏻
And yet, as has already been explained, the press don't kill photos on a whim.

If it was as simple as a few pictures stitched together to get all the kids facing the same way then why not just say that and release the originals - there can't be anything untoward in any of them if that is the case.

Stop being silly, you are playing the man not the ball.

Far from it, I've avoided saying what I might think is going on and for me the most likely cause of this is the royals trying to protect her from scrutiny of her illness.

I don't buy the "they've killed her", "she's locked up" or even the "their marriage is unhappy" stories....although the last one could have some truth.

I actually think this is about her illness, and if she is on sick leave, they shouldn't have knocked up a shoddy photoshopped image to try and pull the wool over the publics eyes, let her recuperate without any duties like anyone else in their "job", even though cutting ribbons and smiling isn't really a job.

I don't believe in the concept, power and lack of accountability of the institution, that doesn't mean I have no empathy or objectivity. For example, I find it astonishingly bad that Harry doesn't have protection paid for by the government. He didn't ask to be born into that family and on a human level he and his family should be protected from the scrutiny put on him. That is me showing empathy for a royal and being objective about the risk on his life and using tax payers money to ensure they are safe. I'd happily give 24x7 security details to all royals that walk away, until hopefully there isn't a royal family. Then give the next 3 generations protection.
