Royal Expert Criticizes Prince William Over Alleged Manipulated Photo of Princess Kate Middleton

A wave of controversy has swept through royal circles following the release of a photo depicting Princess Kate Middleton with her children, amidst claims of manipulation. Renowned journalist Piers Morgan, known for his outspoken views, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to voice his concerns after globally recognized news agencies raised red flags over the authenticity of the image.

Morgan’s tweet, which garnered significant attention, expressed apprehension over the potential repercussions of manipulating the photo, stating, “If, as this astounding @AP kill notice claims, the Palace manipulated that Kate photo to quash all the wild conspiracy theories about her, then they’ll have just made things 100x worse.”

The photo in question, featuring Catherine smiling alongside her three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – was released on March 10 by the senior members of the royal family. Accompanying the image was a heartfelt caption expressing gratitude for the support received during Princess Kate’s convalescence, with the Prince and Princess of Wales officially credited for the photograph, indicating it was taken in 2024.

However, the controversy escalated when the Associated Press (AP) issued a ‘Kill Notification’ due to suspected manipulation upon closer examination of the shared photo, prompting widespread debate and scrutiny within royal circles and beyond.
