"Royal Photographer Defends Unedited Pregnancy Photo Amid Scrutiny"

Photographer Misan Harriman refuted tabloid reports claiming he doctored Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's pregnancy announcement photo, calling the allegations "insidious" and "unacceptable." The controversy comes amid increased scrutiny of royal photos following concerns over an edited picture of Kate Middleton released by Kensington Palace. Harriman clarified that he only changed the color to black and white and shared the original photo and metadata to debunk the claims. The proliferation of AI image generators has made it difficult to distinguish between untouched photos, doctored images, and completely AI-generated creations, leading to increasing mistrust of online content.
