    Following the scandal of Princess Kate’s edited photo, users on social media can’t believe the obvious mistakes in the picture.

    The beloved Princess of Wales found herself at the center of controversy by setting off alarm bells in the media industry.

    The photograph in question, taken by Prince William, was intended to be an informal and endearing snapshot of the royal family.

    However, the published image raised suspicions among international photo agencies such as Getty Images, AFP, Reuters, and Associated Press, leading to its subsequent withdrawal from circulation.

    In a candid statement released on the official Instagram account, Kate Middleton acknowledged her role in editing the image, expressing her regret for any confusion caused.

    “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.”

    Although the extent of the retouching has gone around the world thanks to social networks, this controversy has rekindled debates and speculation on the Internet about Kate Middleton’s recent surgery.

    The image marked the first public image of the Princess since her admission to the London Clinic to undergo a scheduled operation on January 16.
