"Kate Middleton's Apology Over Edited Photos Sparks Controversy"

Sources close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry criticized Kate Middleton's heavily edited photo released for British Mother's Day, claiming that the exiled royals would have faced severe backlash for a similar mistake. The photo, which included Middleton and her three children, was heavily manipulated and prompted leading photo agencies to advise against its use. Middleton issued an apology for the confusion, stating that she occasionally experiments with editing, while sources close to Harry and Meghan emphasized that such a mistake would not have been made by the latter. The incident has reignited speculation about Middleton's prolonged absence from public life following major abdominal surgery in January.
