Newly discovered inconsistencies in a photo of the late Queen Elizabeth II make Kate the focus of even more questions. It even threatens to destroy the British Crown’s relationship with the world’s leading news and photography agencies.

The controversy focuses on a photo published in April 2023, showing the late Queen Elizabeth II sitting around with 10 of her great-grandchildren. The palace said the photo was taken by Kate at Balmoral Castle in Scotland months before the Queen’s death, but editing has led to confusion over whether the photo was actually composited from several another photo or not.

It is suspected that the photo was edited in at least 19 places.

Inconsistencies in the photo include the discrepancy in the dress and the thin blanket covering the legs of the late Queen Elizabeth II as well as the sofa on which she was sitting. Princess Charlotte’s strands of hair appear to have been multiplied, while the edge of Louis’ shoulder is blurred and appears to overlap the background. The lighting on the faces of some of the younger royals in the photo also didn’t match the overall lighting of the photo.

“Getty Images reviewed the photo and our editor said its original photo had been digitally edited,” a Getty spokesman told the Telegraph.

CNN has contacted Getty Images for more details. Kensington Palace declined to comment when contacted on March 19.

The British Royal Family, like many government agencies and organizations around the world, relies on photo agencies to distribute their images to press and media agencies.

This controversy was something the Welsh family did not want, but it happened in the context of people focusing attention on Kate’s health.

On March 16, Prince William and Princess Kate were seen appearing at an agricultural store near their home, helping to ease doubts about her health.
