Has Princess Kate's Picture Been Tampered With?

[naomi24]

//Reuters issued a "kill notice" telling its clients not to publish the picture. The Associated Press (AP) sent out a "photo kill" email accusing the source of the image of "manipulating" the picture....The photo, designed to cool the conversation around the Princess of Wales's recovery, has instead heated all the rumours up again..//

It wouldn't surprise me to discover that the media has deliberately doctored the photograph just to create more speculation about the royal family and sell more newspapers.

It seems ridiculous to doctor a picture.  There must be loads they could have used.

[naomi24]

I mean in Kate's private collection.  Something that has never been given to the press.

Clearly the lower end of the fraud scale so a full police enquiry may follow with the expected outcome.

I can see many trees in full leaf when I look out of my window.

[naomi24]

I didn't say that, Barry.  'They' did.  :o)

I was just responding to what I read in the links

The real issue is that the palace have not said what the princess's op was for and the media are trying to strongarm them into revealing it.

Where is her wedding ring?  I kept mine on at all times when married.  Don't most women?

It was done by the Princess of Wales.

It was Kate herself who edited it!

 "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."

Ladybirder, I don't.  In the house, I tend to keep it in its case because I would hate to knock a stone out whilst doing stuff.

Corby, you got there first but I can't give two BAs so I've given it to Lankeela who provided the link confirming it.
