Kate has had 4 photos/videos released all looking like they’ve been taken with a potato. Why? Why not a clear shot?!
One in the car with her mother - taken from a very long way away with a telephoto lens. Will always be grainy.
One taken by a photographer with little to no notice (the car had just turned the corner into the road on which the photographer was positioned) when she happened to be looking out of the window. This was chance - the photographer wasn’t even expecting Kate to be in the car.
One video by someone using their iPhone from 10-15 metres away. The press have then zoomed into the footage, resulting it it becoming grainy. This is normal.
The one planned image they released was a clear photo, but was photoshopped. We therefore don’t know how much of the image of her was photoshopped.
The latter was the only official images released. The others were chance. I don’t find it unlikely that chance images are not focussed perfectly, and/or don’t happen to get their subject looking at the lens.
