The controversy over the manipulated photo of Kate Middleton with her three children, on the occasion of Mother's Day in the United Kingdom, is far from over. Given the barrage of details that showed that the image had been retouched, the British princess had to apologize because, "like many amateur photographers," she also experiments "occasionally with editing."
Some analysts go further and warn of a credibility crisis for the British royal house. And the main communication agencies have already warned that, from now on, they will double-check the information that comes to them from Kensington Palace, the official residence of Princes William and Catherine.
However, the controversy could go further, following the last photo of Middleton and her husband, photographed this Monday leaving their residence in Windsor together by car (about 40 kilometers from London). And conspiracy theories have not been slow to appear.
According to Kensington Palace, the princess is the one who appears from the side looking out the window, with her hair apparently tied up, next to the heir to the throne, seen in profile in the back seat of the vehicle. He was heading to a church service at London's Westminster Abbey for Commonwealth Day; She was heading to a private appointment.
But social media users question whether the Princess of Wales was really in the back seat of the car. And they suggest that the photograph would once again be manipulated.
According to this new conspiracy theory, a photo of Middleton would have been taken from that perspective and would have been retouched, eliminating some flashy accessories that she was wearing in her hair.
Each photograph published by Kensington Palace generates great expectation. Since she underwent abdominal surgery at a London clinic, there has been almost no news from the princess, who is not expected to take on official engagements until after Easter.
