Unfortunately, royal fans weren’t buying the apology, stating that it was a very strange mistake.
One person wrote, “I struggle to believe that the world’s most famous royal family – and the lady who will be queen – fiddled around with Photoshop and released a family photo (designed to quash rumors of its whereabouts) without anyone in line checking it out . Well. Not buying it.”
Another said, “Someone in your press office/PR department needs a very constructive 1-2-1 or year-end review. This, in no way, makes this strange situation better.”

With Kate’s apology failing to quell fears and resolve the issue, experts have stated that the best way to resolve the Photoshopped image issue and regain public trust is to share unedited Mother’s Day photos.
“Kate’s statement does not answer the question. We can all see the photo has been edited,” said Graham Smith of the anti-monarchy group Republic, according to Daily Mail.
He continued, “The question is why? Why didn’t they release the original photo? Statements elaborated through a press office that says nothing and explains nothing shows a general disregard for the public…”
Former journalist Michael Cole also stated that “Kensington Palace must now provide a full and reasonable explanation of how and why this attempted media manipulation took place. Otherwise, there is a danger of permanent damage to the credibility of the royal family.”
