The Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse all released kill notifications to media outlets over the photo — released by Kensington Palace on Sunday — announcing that they would no longer be distributing the image.
The AP wrote, “it appears that the source has manipulated the image.” AFP cited an “editorial issue,” while Reuters said the photo was withdrawn after a “post-publication review.”
Following its release, social media was abuzz with sleuths questioning whether the photo was photoshopped or AI-generated. Many were focused on the cuff of Princess Charlotte’s pink cardigan, which appears to disappear in the photo.
Other users pointed out that Middleton was not wearing her wedding ring.
“no rings, kids all have their fingers crossed, weird blurring on charlotte’s cuffs, leaves on the trees despite it being early mach - i’m sorry but they’re just asking for us to go full katespiracy at this point,” one user on X wrote.
The thing I don’t get is why hide it at all. “She’s recovering. That’s all you get to know.” Is going to attract the same attention as trying to hide it, while telling sane people to fuck off.
Unless they offed her. But uh, we won’t go there.
Well this would be another outspoken woman that was not traditionally married that died in suspicious circumstances within two generations. To say it wouldn’t look suspicious would be a lie.
I would expect that, if they really wanted to assassinate her… they’d have found something less interesting. Like maybe something that gives her cancer or something.
