One day after Princess Kate apologised for causing any “confusion” with her photo editing, a social media editor’s theory about the origin of the picture has gone viral.
The photograph, which was released to celebrate Mother’s Day in the UK, came under intense scrutiny this week after it was quickly “killed” by five of the world’s top photo agencies, including Getty, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Shutterstock and Reuters, following concerns the image had been altered.
Despite Kensington Palace staying firm on their stance they will not release the original unedited photo, Kate issued a statement apologising for “experimenting with editing”. Now, amid a slew of theories about why the photo was edited in the first place, a theory from a senior editor at the Daily Mirror and Daily Star has started gaining traction.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ruby Naldrett shared a video along with the caption: “My analysis of the Kate Middleton photo saga is that they took her face from the Vogue cover she did years ago and edited it in.”
