In the wake of the Princess of Wales' Mother's Day photo editing controversy, Kate Middleton and Prince William are reportedly 'deeply upset' by the backlash and Kate could publicly address the situation given the intense interest in her health and recovery. When photo agencies such as Associated Press and Reuters issued a kill notice for the Wales' photo, it was then announced that CNN would be putting all past content issued by Kensington Palace under review.
Although Kate issued an apology for 'any confusion' it caused, it did little to dampen speculation or quieten what the Palace has labelled 'wild conspiracy theories'. In fact the royal scrutiny only intensified and some social media users turned their attention to another royal photo, claiming it had the hallmarks of an edited image.
