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.”
