CNN to review Kate Middleton, Prince William photos after editing drama

A royal review.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have found themselves under more scrutiny as all photos previously issued by Kensington Palace are being placed under review by CNN.

The broadcaster said that the eyebrow-raising image released by the palace showing the Princess of Wales with her three children has prompted them to take a look back at the previous images they have been given, adding that media organizations “expect those images to be accurate.”

The royal was forced to issue an apology after leading photo agencies — including Reuters, the Associated Press, Getty, and Agence France-Presse — all yanked the image over numerous signs it had been “manipulated.”

An analysis published by CNN said that it regards it “unacceptable to move, change or manipulate the pixels of an image” as it alters the photograph itself.

“In editorial photography, photojournalists and editors commonly adjust a photograph’s exposure or color balance in order to more accurately reflect the scene,” CNN said in a statement.

“CNN is now reviewing all handout photos previously provided by Kensington Palace,” the outlet added. 

A final decision will be published after the investigation has concluded.

Just seconds after the image was released on social media, eagle-eyed followers noticed a myriad of editing mishaps in the photo of Middleton with her three children.

The widespread speculation prompted conspiracy theorists to come out of the woodwork, with claims being made not only about Middleton’s health, but also her whereabouts.

After the photo’s retouching seemingly exacerbated whispers about her health, the royal returned to social media to set the record straight on what had happened.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in the wake of the controversy. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.”
