If this royalty thing doesn't work out, she's got a job in photo editing to fall back on.

Be fair. How can they possibly afford a professional photographer?

Scandal! I'm so glad the news agencies all retracted the image, and now nobody has to view those filthy lies.
- I'd say, better to work on it now with a small time issue that won't hurt you if you make the wrong decision. Stuff like that will only get better and eventually shit will hit the fan.

What a stupid nothing story

While this seems dumb I think all edited photos should be labeled as such. It really gives a warped sense of reality when only edited and warped pictures and videos are shown in the media
- Based on where the edits are, it seems like she took a few shots and picked the best version of each person. While I agree with you, the warped sense of reality here is that you can get three kids to look at the camera and smile nice at the same time.

But she did a great job of photoshopping out William.

But is it Kate or just her social media account?
Tu-duh-doom!

How did no one point out the child on the left’s left hand. That looks like some AI shit…
- If you mean the strange bending, kids tend to fidget a lot when standing still to take a picture. It's something I can and do often do as well.
  E: though that's his right hand I'm talking about. I don't see anything wrong with the left hand, it's just holding the chair arm.

  Yeah, sorry I got them mixed up, you are correct.

  It just seems like more than that to me. It looks really unnatural, but you could be correct.

This how cheap the royal family has become .... making up shitty events to scandalize themselves into the headlines to try to stay relevant.
