Expert says Wales family photo, unlikely to have been edited by Kate.

[Primrosecottagelover]

An expert, Jenny Smith from the American Graphic Institute has told the NBC, that the Wales family photo is heavily edited. The photograph appeared to have been edited by hand, not by AI and new clothing added. Smith told the NBC it would have likely been edited by someone very experienced, not Kate.

Could someone explain to me why there is such a fuss over photos please ?

There are people who believe that the photo was faked and that the Princess of Wales is dead, in a coma, getting divorced, held prisoner to have a baby, had a facelift, had a Brazilian butt lift ,a lesbian - take your pick.

The photo, no matter what Kate did was a KP error, because they should never have allowed it to be sent out to news agencies. That is basic practice for any organisation. They or at least Wiliam as their boss should have claimed it as their error, because they did not do their own due diligence on it. Then coincidentally, William and Kste are papped together, even though they weren't going anywhere together, as if there is only one car in the Royal Household. Pull the other one.

It's a fuss because it calls into question the trust placed in the royal family as public servants.
If this image is manipulated, what else has been manipulated?
Is it just images that have been manipulated, or do they manipulate other materials too?

They receive public money yet are not being shown as fully honest and accountable to that public.
That's the fuss. It's actually not to do with poor Kate directly.

@RoyalDramaLlama your recent post has not provided any evidence that you know anything for a fact. These are your perceptions of what may have happened which you are entitled to hold but they are not facts. eg "made her drive round in a car". This is from your head and not fact.

We have an unwritten Constitution, which is made up laws, treaties and conventions. Any of those things can be overridden by Parliament, which is supreme. Unlike those countries with a written Constitution. There the written Constitution is supreme and cannot easily be changed ( see guns in the US and the recent Irish referendum). Where we are talking about the powers of the Monarchy, we are talking about several situations where the legislature ( government) has proposed legislation and the Monarchy has demanded an exemption before it has gone to Parliament. So of course they comply with the law because the legislation has been passed with an exemption that they have had written in just for them.

Everyone who has never edited a photo on social media raise your hand. Yep, thought so. Get over it people!

Yes well explained.

No one knows anything that comes from the Royals is a fact. We can infer from evidence we see in front of us.

KP issued the photo to media houses saying it was taken last week by Willy.
It's a lie. It wasn't taken last week nor was it a "photo snapped/taken". It's an amalgamation of at least two photos.

As much as the British Media are happy to kowtow to the RF this isn't the same for international media whom they sent the photos to. If it were the Royal Rota, they would've gotten away with it.

KP can't produce the original photo cos there isn't any such and they can't hurriedly put one together cos Kate's face can't be shown for at least another week.

Mother's day photos will usually have her engagement ring showing but even that is missing. Kate lives in Windsor with the children so that doesn't preclude her from taking a photo with them.

Kate's undergrad thesis was in photography of children and the Victorian era.
So for someone who studied photography in university, who has been praised as a fantastic photographer by most British papers to amalgamate different photos into one as a "proof of life" news update from her royal office staffed to the hilt means it was simply impossible to get a recent photo of them together.

Ofcourse there're loads of photos of Kate and the kids but foremost on their mind is that she can't be seen yet but they also wanted to continue deceiving the public she's well by way of a recently taken a photo so they created one digitally.

The king decades older, dealing with cancer on the other hand is well enough to record a video message for the commonwealth service.

If you edit photos and add info to create an untrue narrative that is deception. Especially to your "employer" who pays you most generously for every single privilege you enjoy and requires very little of you in way of "work"; couple of social events a month!

Even your more senior "colleague", decades older is still "working".

Me!! I think I've been living in a parallel universe because I've never ever changed a photo. Cropped it if there was lots of crap in the background but honestly I've never ever changed a single feature as I always think well anyone seeing it would know it wasn't true to life, lines, saggy jowls etc, what would be the point, I've clearly been living under a rock

OP is a classic bully.

What makes @Primrosecottagelover a bully? Reading their posts on this thread I don't see bullying?

I agree with your first sentence but it still doesn't make your fantasies true.

Sadly I don’t find it shocking at all - what I find truly shocking is all the people who can’t see the royals for who the truly are. Charles is an odious man - and in all honesty I don’t think his bloody mother was much better. That level of sycophancy is bound to go to anyone’s head - it’s ludicrous in this day and age.

I haven't seen any bullying of Kate, most people don't believe it was her who did it and even if she did that lazy husband of hers should have taken the blame if she really is unwell as he was supposed to have taken the picture

I think we can all agree this is photoshopped?

as are the Duchess of Sussex's bunions. They like privacy too.

That Charlotte had been sucking/chewing her cardi cuff.

If it had been possible to get an unedited recent photo of Kate, they would have done so. They didn't. They couldn't. Why not?

Not a good one for the RPS.

I think it's obvious there is a big story we aren't being told.

The press wouldn't have issued a kill notice for a bit of tweaking and tidying up or a few colour changes. That's pretty boringly standard and they wouldn't risk pissing off the royal family over that.

I'm most certainly not a tin hatter but I do know a reasonable amount about how the press works

The RF and other institutions hVe easily been able to manipulate their image and hide information in the past.

The digital age has changed that. Maybe the RF hasn’t realised that yet.

Have you seen the posts on here? Making wild claims about her marriage, her health, calling her work shy when she is in her sick bed, demanding photos when she prefers not to be photographed during her recovery, speculating about intimate health interventions? It's a huge online pile on. I don't personally care about the monarchy, but I care about people. Kate is a human being and a pretty decent one as far as anyone can tell. No one deserves that level of hounding. It's a tidal wave of online hate.
