Kate Middleton is in hot water after it was revealed that the picture of her and her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, published on Mother\u2019s Day, was manipulated. Many now call for Kensington Palace to tell the truth about her well-being, and simultaneously, experts come to Kate\u2019s defense. No one from the royal family has spoken out on Kate officially, but now, Harry and Meghan have broken their silence. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s well-known that Harry and Meghan don\u2019t have the best relationship with the royal family since leaving in 2019. Moreover, Kate and Meghan were said to have fallen out several times, even on the Duchess\u2019 wedding day, and the frosty relationship has continued ever since. <\/p>\n

When Kensington Palace announced Kate\u2019s planned abdominal surgery, Harry and Meghan were quick to send their well-wishes. Meanwhile, as last week\u2019s photo blunder has sparked many conspiracy theories, experts have begun analyzing pictures of Harry and Meghan, particularly their pregnancy snap taken in the US in 2021.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Sussexes was also said to have spoken out about Kate and that Meghan would never do such a thing. But now, the statement appears false \u2013 and Meghan has officially responded.<\/p>\n

For Mother\u2019s Day, Kate Middleton posted a picture of herself, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Louis on the Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019 official Instagram, wishing everyone a happy Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Fans were overjoyed to see Kate doing well. But it didn\u2019t take long before the public\u2019s feelings about the picture shifted, after it turned out that there were plenty of issues with it.<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton \u2013 manipulated Mother\u2019s Day picture
\nSocial media users began investigating the picture, and it was soon apparent that it had significant issues. Some parts appeared to have been manipulated, including Princess Charlotte\u2019s jumper and Kate Middleton\u2019s right hand, which also missed a wedding ring.<\/p>\n

News agencies, including the Associated Press and Getty, issued a \u201ckill notice,\u201d an advisory notice to remove or not use a specific photo.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears that the source has manipulated the image,\u201d the Associated Press notification read.<\/p>\n

AP also released a statement, saying: \u201cThe Associated Press initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. The AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP\u2019s photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte\u2019s left hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royal fans and experts have criticized Kate Middleton. Many are worried that no one is getting information about Kate\u2019s whereabouts or health, and Kensington Palace has yet to issue a new picture, which is quite mysterious.<\/p>\n

The conspiracy theories surrounding Kate Middleton are growing larger by the minute. But as Kensington Palace won\u2019t comment on the Princess of Wales\u2019 situation, it\u2019s unsurprising that more theories are appearing.<\/p>\n

Royal expert says Kate Middleton has been \u201cthrown under the bus\u201d
\nWhile many have called for Kate to speak out, fans and royal experts also suggest that this isn\u2019t Kate\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Palace Confidential, royal expert and author Richard Eden says that the palace has behaved \u201cdisgracefully\u201d after letting Kate take the blame by the public, having to issue an apology on her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just so sad and sort of frustrated about the whole thing because I feel so sorry for Catherine,\u201d Eden said. \u201cEssentially, she\u2019s been under so much pressure from people saying \u2018We want a photo, we want to know how she is, tell us how she is.\u2019 And she finally issues this photograph, it\u2019s taken by Prince William.. They make that clear when they issue the photograph.\u201d<\/p>\n

The royal expert continued, saying that the Princess of Wales has been \u201cthrown under a bus\u201d by Kensington Palace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe officials made it public. They gave it out, it\u2019s their job. I think it\u2019s absolutely disgraceful that they\u2019ve said to her \u2018you go and explain what you did\u2019. No, it\u2019s your job. Take some responsibility,\u201d Eden added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t surprise me if heads do roll over this, if not now\u2026 then eventually. Heads could roll, heads have rolled for lesser offences I\u2019ve seen over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

As mentioned, several news agencies pulled the picture of Kate and her children from their archives.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CNN announced Monday that all photos previously issued by Kensington Palace are being placed under review.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn editorial photography, photojournalists and editors commonly adjust a photograph\u2019s exposure or color balance in order to more accurately reflect the scene. Most news organizations, including CNN, regard it as unacceptable to move, change or manipulate the pixels of an image. To do so would alter the reality of the situation the image is intended to document,\u201d CNN announced.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle dragged into Kate picture blunder
\nThe manipulated picture has put the palace in a very tough spot, as more and more photos are being reviewed by news outlets such as CNN and photography experts and fans on social media.<\/p>\n

However, the Princess of Wales is not the only one being reviewed. As soon as it was confirmed that the picture had been edited, fans began looking at pictures of two other former royals: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Daily Mail and The Sun published stories that claimed photographer Misan Harriman, a close friend of Harry and Meghan, had altered the portrait he took when the Susdexes announced Meghan\u2019s pregnancy in 2021. The photo, published in black-and-white, shows Harry and a pregnant Meghan Markle lying in the grass near a tree.<\/p>\n

The stories quickly spread on social media, and Misan Harriman felt the need to hit back at the allegations.<\/p>\n

On social media, Harriman shared the original colorized shot of the Sussexes, saying he expected a \u201cfull apology and retraction\u201d from the Daily Mail and the Telegraph.<\/p>\n

In an interview with BBC in 2022, Harriman was asked whether the photo had been edited.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were lost in their love, at home, in their garden, comfortable, celebrating new joy. No trees or meadows were moved or swapped, this is the image straight out of the camera.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry & Meghan reached out to Kate after her surgery
\nKate Middleton received worldwide support after the news of her surgery was made public. Shortly afterward, Harry and Meghan also showed their support despite their broken relationship with the Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n

According to the Mirror, Harry and Meghan Markle sent their best wishes to Kate Middleton \u2013 and King Charles \u2013 after she had been hospitalized. <\/p>\n

A source told the Mirror: \u201cThe King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health. \u201cThe Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weeks later, another story was brought forward about what especially Meghan had done when she found out about Kate\u2019s surgery. According to a Us Weekly source, Meghan contacted the princess, hoping it would be a first step to ending the feud. <\/p>\n

The source said Meghan has contacted Kate and Charles, so moves are being made to reconcile. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a second source noted that Meghan has been very \u201csupportive\u201d of Harry\u2019s attempts to reconcile with his family. Also, he \u201cwishes the royals\u2014Kate included\u2014the very best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the last few years, Harry and Meghan have spoken out about their experience of royal life, accusing members of \u201cThe Firm\u201d of many things. This has led to much criticism, with the Sussexes being accused of only doing it for money.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle breaks silence over Kate Middleton photo
\nPrince Harry and Meghan Markle haven\u2019t made any official statement regarding Kate Middleton or King Charles\u2019 health status, but the picture mishap has brought them into the discussion.<\/p>\n

Still, while Misan Harriman stated that the 2021 pregnancy photo wasn\u2019t altered, an alleged spokesperson from the Sussexes commented on the Kate photo a few days ago, in which the Princess of Wales appeared to be mocked.<\/p>\n

A story in Page Six quoted sources \u201cclose\u201d to the Sussexes, saying: \u201cThis isn\u2019t a mistake Meghan would ever make; she has a keen eye and freakish attention to detail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source suggested that \u201cif Harry and Meghan had ever encountered the same issue, they would have been annihilated\u201d and added: \u201cThe same rules do not apply to both couples.\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long before Harry and Meghan found out what had been said \u2013 and reacted quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith respect to Page Six, that did not come from us, a spokesperson from the couple\u2019s Archewell Foundation told Newsweek.<\/p>\n

Moreover, another expert claimed that the Sussexes are to blame for the many rumors and speculations about the Princess of Wales, as they have been very outspoken after leaving the royal family, making fans think that it\u2019s the \u201cnew normal\u201d among members of The Firm.<\/p>\n

At the same time, royal expert Jennie Bond states that the fuss around the picture has negatively impacted Kate. Speaking with GB News, Bond states that Kate is \u201cunder intense pressure,\u201d facing a threat of \u201cbullying.\u201d<\/p>\n

A picture posted by the Daily Mail on Monday appears to portray Kate sitting beside William in a car leaving Windsor. It was reported that she was going to a \u201cprivate\u201d appointment. But with all that has happened, Bond says, people will judge Kate whenever she is seen in public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pressure has doubled and redoubled. I think she\u2019s in a fragile mental and physical state. We should lay off her,\u201d Jennie Bond told GB News.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think we are in danger of bulling a lady who is trying to recover from a very serious operation. I think of how she must be feeling this morning. Absolutely miserable. I think her Mother\u2019s Day was obviously ruined by this row.\u201d<\/p>\n
