Yikes…
A photo agency has now declared that a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, which was taken by Princess Catherine and released by Kensington Palace on Instagram in April 2023 to honor the late monarch on what would have been her 97th birthday, was, in fact, photoshopped!! OOF.
While the photo has been out for nearly a year, on Monday, Getty Images confirmed the picture had been manipulated. And they say it was doctored SEVERAL TIMES, too!

A spokesperson for the photo agency told The Telegraph:
“Getty Images has reviewed the image in question and placed an editor’s note on it, stating that the image has been digitally enhanced at source.”
The photo was snapped by the Princess of Wales during a family trip to Balmoral the summer prior. It features Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis along with their cousins seated around Her Majesty on a green couch. Going unnoticed until now, The Telegraph pointed out “several inconsistencies” found in the image, noting seven specific problems.
One of the most obvious issues is the queen’s plaid skirt. It looks like it was cut and repositioned in the photo as part of the pattern doesn’t line up. The same goes for portions of the green couch which have misalignment issues.
There’s also an unexplained black spot behind George’s head and a dark spot near Louis’ ear, whose head is also surrounded by a jagged line, suggesting he was photoshopped into the image. There’s also a digital repetition of Mia Tindall’s hair. Take a look at the original upload and all the photoshop fails (below):

Jeez…
Shocking to see that there’s SO much wrong with this image. And we are only just learning about it now!! Just think about how many other doctored photos might’ve gone unnoticed??
The only reason this has been spotted now is because Kate Middleton admitted to editing a family portrait earlier this month after photo agencies sent out a “kill notice” on a snapshot of her and her kids. Kensington Palace is no longer a trusted source for many news outlets, and the controversy has caused many companies to take a deeper look at the content they’ve accepted from the royals in the past. So, this could be just the tip of the iceberg. Not a good look for the royals, especially amid all the other conspiracy theories!
Thoughts?! Sound OFF (below)!
