I thought something was fishy about this picture. Kate Middleton has admitted she personally edited the photo of her with her kids released on Mother’s Day yesterday – and apologized for her poor skills. In a post on X the Princess of Wales said: ‘Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. ‘I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C’ The image, which was the first official picture of the princess to be released since she underwent abdominal surgery in January, whipped up feverish speculation on social media. Now there’s speculation that picture too may be a fake, sending conspiracy theorists into a tizzy.
