Unraveling the Mystery Behind the Controversial Mother’s Day Photo
Royal enthusiasts are stirring up a storm with their latest claims regarding the Mother's Day snapshot released by Kensington Palace.
Calls are mounting for the original image to be unveiled following an apology issued by the princess.
The photograph, initially intended to put an end to peculiar online conspiracy theories, has backfired spectacularly, sparking a frenzy of nonsensical tales surrounding the Princess of Wales and the photo's origins.
Recent revelations have shed light on the image file being saved twice using photo editing software on an Apple Mac – once on Friday at 9:54 pm and again on Saturday at 9:39 am.
The circumstances surrounding these dual saves remain shrouded in mystery, with Catherine acknowledging her experimentation with editing but leaving questions unanswered.
Sky News data and Forensic Unit delved into the metadata, unveiling details, although the actual alterations remain elusive.
Despite the Princess of Wales issuing an apology for the discrepancies in the photo, the explanation fell short for some social media users who persisted in concocting outlandish theories about the original image.
One particularly bizarre conspiracy theory surfaced on TikTok, where Alan Anstin took speculation to new heights by suggesting the photo was doctored from a past event in November 2023 involving Princess Catherine and the children visiting a baby bank.
Anomalies in the photo, such as a missing part of Princess Charlotte's sleeve and the misaligned edge of her skirt, fueled further speculation, including debates over Catherine's zipper position.
The TikTok user, undeterred by inconsistencies, contended that the Mother's Day photo defied logic, insinuating potential Photoshop manipulation.
The viral clip garnered millions of views and a flood of comments, with one individual hinting at a cover-up related to backdating concerns.
While some attempted to bolster Aston's theory by scrutinizing the image background, others emphasized the royal couple's history of sharing personal photographs to mark special occasions.
However, the recent disclosure by the princess has raised doubts about the authenticity of past images, prompting calls for transparency.
Public relations expert Mark Borkowski labeled the situation a fiasco, stressing the importance of releasing the unedited photo to rebuild public trust shattered by the controversy.
Amid mounting pressure on Kensington Palace, the UK's national news agency sought urgent clarification on the image's authenticity, given suspicions of tampering.
In a surprising turn of events, PA disclosed its withdrawal of the image due to the lack of clarification.
Despite demands for the original photo to be made public, Kensington Palace stood firm in its decision not to reissue the unedited photograph of Kate and her children.
