The reason for the edits made to Princess Kate’s Mother’s Day photo is one almost any parent can relate to—apparently, she wanted her kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to look the best they possibly could. A source speaking to The Times said that Kate was “thinking of her own children when editing the picture, hoping that they looked good for their own sakes.”
Photoshop expert Stephen Davies—often referred to as the “Photoshop Guy”—said he doesn’t think anything “deceptive” happened in the editing of the now infamous photo, which Kate admitted to editing after multiple news agencies pulled it from their servers the same day it was released.
