Kate Middleton Denies Family Photo Was Doctored: ‘Sadly, Our Charlotte Was Born With Two Left…

Summary

Kate Middleton has denied doctoring a family photo beyond minor edits to conceal her children's physical anomalies, a practice she defends as protective and in line with historical royal photo alterations.

Abstract

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has addressed public scrutiny following the Associated Press's rejection of a family photo due to perceived alterations. She admitted to making slight changes to her children's features, such as Prince George's ears and Prince Louis' tongue, to protect them from public commentary. Middleton's actions are framed within a historical context of royal photo editing, citing examples like King Charles' twelve toes and Queen Camilla's shoulder growth being edited out of official images. The Princess also humorously mentioned undergoing surgery to remove an "extraterrestrial" that would awkwardly appear during royal duties, referencing her own past health issues. The article provides links to past popular posts and directs readers to more of the author's work.

Kate Middleton reacted strongly to the AP’s rejection of a family photo taken on UK Mother’s Day, claiming she only manipulated the image “to protect my children.”

Her social media post did include an admission that at times she made “…slight changes to Prince George’s grossly oversized ears and Prince Louis’ bizarrely lopsided tongue.”

Kensington Palace was adamant that alterations in royal photos has a long historical precedence with King Charles’ twelve toes on one foot and Queen Camilla’s crown-shaped growth on her shoulder often excised from official photographs.

Princess Kate, who hasn’t been seen since a long hospital stay in January, wrote in her online post that the reason for the elective surgery on her abdomen was to “remove the extraterrestrial who often and awkwardly pops out of my stomach at photo opps during the course of performing my royal duties.”
