While the Palace released a short statement by Kate, saying she likes to “occasionally experiment with editing”, she did not take accountability for this specific picture.

“She doesn’t say ‘I edited this one’. So in other words, did someone at the Palace get hold of the photo or put the photo together in the first place? [And] how much of a lie is this photo remains the question?”

“I know it’s only a photo but there’s a thing about the truth, the Royal Family and its relationship with the public.”
