Royal Family ignores Princess Kate photo row in first post since Mother's Day backlash


The Royal Family has ignored the backlash surrounding a photograph of Princess Kate in a new post. The latest snap of the Princess of Wales sent fans into a frenzy as she continues to recover from abdominal surgery out of the limelight.

Kate was pictured with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a sweet Mother’s Day post taken by Prince William. However, within hours of it being released four major photo agencies removed the snap over fears it had been ‘manipulated’.

The Associated Press (AP), Reuters, Agence France-Presse (AFP) and Getty Images all separately sent out a “kill notice” to media organisations worldwide, confirming they had each removed the image from their individual collections.

A notice from The Associated Press stated: “At closer inspection it appears that the source has manipulated the image.”

This morning, the Royal Family’s official X account has issued a post ignoring the backlash to celebrate Commonwealth Day.

“Today is Commonwealth Day – the annual celebration of this unique and diverse organisation,” it reads. “2024 marks 75 years since the founding of the modern Commonwealth.”
