The conspiracy theories behind the first official photo of Frederick X and Mary of Denmark

The edited photograph of Kate Middleton led to a tsunami of conspiracy theories in which they claimed, among other things, that the princess was not present with her children at the time. Some touch-ups that Prince William's own wife admitted to having done in the framework of a normal and ordinary family photo, but which did not cease to cause a scandal due to her disappearance, at that time, from the media landscape.

Since that moment, citizens have been much more attentive to find these types of errors in the official portraits of any monarch, and the turn of Frederick of Denmark has arrived.

Frederick and Mary of Denmark are enjoying their third month of reign, despite being surrounded by a halo of controversy that does not disappear despite the many attempts at normalization. Since the current Danish king was caught walking through the streets of Madrid with Genoveva Casanova, he has been at the center of the international media panorama.

After this, numerous rumors of crisis between the couple have flooded the press and social networks. Something that they have tried to alleviate with their first official gala portrait together. However, there are many who suggest that it could be a retouched image in the Kate Middleton style.

As the Daily Mail has put on the table, many users on networks have stated that the kings took their respective photographs separately and a royal editor put them together into one. "Beautiful photo, but another digitally enhanced real photo," said one of them. Something that has generated many more comments of this style.

"Was this photoshopped? I mean, it looks like they were photographed separately and then put together? Mary looks exquisite and Federico, well, the king looks like he just rolled out of bed," added another. Furthermore, among other things, they have pointed out that the queen's left hand is superimposed on the king's in a strange way.

All these speculations are also due to the rumors of crises that do not stop arising about them. Even so, the aforementioned newspaper has made it very clear that the royal palace has confirmed that the image is completely real and that there has been no retouching: "The official gala portrait of the Royal House has not been manipulated."

But it is not the first time that the Danish royal family has been overshadowed by the shadow of the photographic montage. On January 8, the official images of Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine on their birthday were published. Some portraits that many glimpsed could have been cut from another photograph. And the posados ​​have great similarities, according to the same newspaper.
