After months of speculation about the whereabouts of Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales and future Queen of England, the royal family today released a photo that appears to have been edited. If the goal was to reassure the public about Middleton’s whereabouts, the photo backfired.
The image is alarming at first glance, reports The Verge. Everyone’s smiling as bright as a Snapchat filter. Middleton is sitting in the photo — which makes sense, given that she underwent some kind of undisclosed abdominal surgery in January — but the perspective seems wrong. Are her arms really that long?
It’s still up on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram page, so you can check out the original, but the publication has provided a few screenshots that look like they were edited by a Photoshop novice who over-relied on the Heal tool.
This image was released months after Middleton disappeared from the public eye. The royal family kept the state of her health and the reasons for her absence a secret, leading to conspiracy theories. Releasing a clearly edited picture of her on Mother’s Day in the UK didn’t help matters.
