The Mirror newspaper slammed for ‘photoshopped’ Kate Middleton photo

A British newspaper appears to have bizarrely edited a photo of Kate Middleton to the point where she’s almost unrecognisable.

The Mirror, a daily UK tabloid founded in 1903, covered a story about the royals attending a Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph in London on Sunday, local time.

King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and the Princess of Wales, were all in attendance, with the outlet using a sombre photo of Catherine to sell the story on the front page.

But for reasons currently unclear, the editors have been called out for “doctoring” the original photo of Catherine, 41.

Bewildered users took to social media to call out the publication for “photoshopping” the Princess.

What in the ever loving god did they do to Princess Catherine’s picture? How disgusting to photoshop the photo in this way! pic.twitter.com/ziMhSnVy2h

The mother-of-three had watched the service alongside Queen Consort Camilla on a balcony.

The Mirror and Kensington Palace are yet to comment.

The service marked Charles’ first time attending Remembrance Day as the newly minted monarch.

The 74-year-old has laid the wreath on behalf of the late Queen since 2017, in what was viewed as a shift in Her Majesty’s duties.

The Queen was forced to pull out of the event last year due to a sprained back, marking only the seventh time she had missed the poignant service in her 70-year reign. She died on September 8.
