Recent events surrounding Princess Kate Middleton’s edited Mother’s Day photo have reignited discussions about the differential treatment between her and Meghan Markle, according to insider sources.
The controversy erupted when Middleton shared a seemingly innocent Mother’s Day snapshot on her Instagram, only to face allegations of heavy editing. Major news agencies like Reuters and Associated Press reportedly urged journalists to refrain from using the photo due to concerns about its authenticity.
In response to the backlash, Middleton issued an apology, attributing the editing to her experimentation with photography. “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,” she stated.
However, sources close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have alleged that the consequences for Middleton’s mistake would not be the same for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. According to insiders who spoke to Page Six, “they would never make this mistake.”
The sources further claimed that had Meghan and Harry encountered a similar issue, they would have faced severe criticism and backlash. “If Harry and Meghan had ever encountered the same issue, they would have been annihilated. The same rules do not apply to both couples. This isn’t a mistake that Meghan would ever make … she has a keen eye and freakish attention to detail,” the insider asserted.

As discussions continue to unfold, the contrasting reactions to Middleton’s apology and the alleged hypothetical scenario involving Meghan and Harry highlight deeper issues surrounding perceptions of privilege and accountability within the monarchy.
