FILE - A dog walker passes Kensington Palace in London, Friday, Jan. 6, 2023. The first official photo of Kate, the Princess of Wales, since she underwent abdominal surgery nearly two months earlier, was pulled from circulation by The Associated Press and several other news organizations, Sunday, March 10, 2024, because the image appeared to have been manipulated.
The Associated Press pulled the photograph from circulation because it did not meet its photo standards. Kensington Palace declined to comment.The photo appeared on social media channels for the Prince and Princess of Wales at 9 a.m. along with a message from Kate wishing everyone a happy Mothers’ Day, which was celebrated Sunday in the United Kingdom.
But close study of the image revealed inconsistencies that suggested it had been altered, for instance in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand with the sleeve of her sweater.
