Looks fine to me except the extra set of hands, who do they belong to?

What extra set?

I only see four sets.

What is it about this image that makes it phony? All I see is a proud mother with her three children.

According to the news, it was more of a composite photo, meant to show that Kate is doing fine when, maybe, she isn't. This wasn't a case of adjusting contrast and exposure, and it's unlikely that Kate did this herself. Because the royals are talking, rumors will continue to spread.


The photo was altered and saved twice in Photoshop. Kate said that she did the editing herself. Haven't we all done the same? So what's the big deal?

i never understood the logic in our fascination with the english royal family ... it's a photo of some (probably) nice lady with a lot of fame and fortune, but aside from that, am i the only one yawning here?

This is probably the wrong section, but here goes.

It seems that Kensington Palace released a doctored image of Kate and her kids for English Mother's Day. It was sent to major newspapers to show how Kate was doing after her surgery. The newspapers pulled the picture after they became suspicious that the picture was manipulated. Take a look and see what you think.

I can't really find anything wrong with this picture except it must have taken a lot of shots to get everyone smiling and looking happy!?

And WE ALL know it's phony because we all saw the original with which she started, right?

I suppose Royals are not allowed to play with photo editors or poetic license,
or at least keep it under lock and key...

Maybe I didn't see it. Ah, "Photo Editing." How could I have missed that? Obviously, it was about Kate.

"Some adjustments" covers a lot of territory. Bruce Jenner had "some adjustments" made. If major newspapers refuse to publish this picture, the adjustments were probably more deceptive than aesthetic.


For cryin out load! Leave the Woman alone and honor her privacy. She is a beautiful Woman. If anything would happen to her the whole world would get information about it. Every one sounds like those idiots on the "View".

Only when another station shows something stupid that they talk about. No one with common sense would waste time watching them.

This is an interesting discussion. To me the issue relates to how significant the changes were. If they made Kate look healthy when she is not, that is a problem. I do wonder why they will not make the original available. I do tend to think news photos purporting to be "real" must be very, very careful about adjustments though focus and lighting may be OK..
