Kate Middleton edited a photo of herself and her children that Prince William took, and the whole world has something to say about it.
“Kill Notices” Warned Reporters and News Outlets Not to Use the Picture
Reading the headlines is somewhat jarring if you happen to be a royal family fan. Apparently, Kate’s Mother’s Day photo has somehow destroyed the credibility of both her and William and has also discredited Kensington Palace.
People ask stupid questions like, “How can we believe anything the royal family says anymore?” And the family photo that was supposed to reassure the public and the media that Kate was indeed alive and recovering has now fueled more ridiculous conspiracy theories.
At first, social media blew up. Then, reputable news agencies issued “kill notices,” warning other reporters and broadcasters not to use the image. As a collective, the news media oddly pulled the photo from circulation.
Hardly what you would call a normal response. Even news outlets known for supporting the royal family were suddenly bashing them.
Maybe the Prince and Princess of Wales had difficulty getting their kids to sit still for an innocent family photo. Many parents know that children can be a bit restless and unruly.
Royal experts have admitted that they have never encountered such a response from the media regarding the royal family.
Kate Middleton was forced to apologize for the mortal sin of editing a photo. One strange theory was that this wasn’t a Mother’s Day picture.
The photo was speculated to have been taken in November because of the clothes that Kate’s daughter, Charlotte, was wearing and the lovely green plants behind them.
It is supposedly too early in the year for the plant to be so green. Accusers said the picture was fake altogether.
Kensington Palace’s Credibility Has Been Called Into Question
It was later confirmed that the photo was taken on Friday and edited twice on Friday night and Saturday morning.
Kate Middleton was also photographed hours after the picture was taken in the car beside William. But what was she doing out if it’s not after Easter?
She was supposed to be recuperating at home, and everyone started commenting about that. It turned out that Kate was going to a private appointment.
Even more absurd than the kill notices, social media users started a rumor that the lack of public appearances meant William and Kate were headed for a divorce.
The picture was just used to cover it up. Also, there were no pictures of William and Kate together, so they must be having marital problems.
There were rumors that Kate’s closest confidant, Lady Rose Hanbury, was having a scandalous affair with William. It’s all quite dramatic.
Next, people wanted to know if Kensington Palace had altered any other images released in the past. Princess Catherine’s reputation as an amateur photographer has been called into question. Kate patronizes the Royal Photographic Society and the National Portrait Gallery.
No one expected a simple family photo to trigger such nonsense. But it falls in line with the public demanding explanations when clearly they will just concoct their own truth no matter what.
