Kate Middleton has been cited for publishing the manipulated picture of her and her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, on Mother’s Day.
News agencies decided to remove the image as it was proven to have been edited, and many were angry with the Princess of Wales, not only because of the picture but also because she and the palace have neither refused to comment on her health nor publish a new image that could end speculations about her well-being.
While some have criticized her recent decision, some days after the picture was published, several royal experts have come to her rescue, accusing not her but the palace and her husband of not doing enough.
The royal family has come under fire after the manipulated picture of Kate Middleton and her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, was published on Mother’s Day on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account.
He concluded, “One thing that’s really important is you cannot be distorting reality for the public. There’s a question of trust. And the big issue here is one of trust, and the lack of trust and the falling trust of the general public in institutions generally and in the media. And so it’s extremely important that a photo does represent broadly the reality that it’s seen in.”
Kate Middleton broke ‘golden rule’ with Mother’s Day picture, expert says
Kate Middleton received a lot of criticism, especially after she announced that she had edited and posted the picture herself.
However, Kensington Palace’s failure to comment on the picture incident—especially to post a newly picture of Kate to assure the public that she is fine—has made conspiracy theories even more intense. Conspiracies appeared already in February as no significant updates were given on the Princess of Wales, but now, they have escalated.
Meanwhile, the fact that Kate edited the picture herself might not be the worst thing. According to The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards, the Princess of Wales has learned a “tough and very public lesson” breaking the “golden rule.”
“It’s a golden rule that while you can crop a picture, you never, ever interfere with the image itself. Kate shouldn’t have doneeeee it, and she was right to put her hand up and admit to her mistake so quickly,” Edwards said, adding that social media have been overflowing with “disgusting bile and hateful comments about her.”
“Now the conspiracies are flying thick and fast — not that these people need any encouragement. These cheap shots at Kate will be upsetting for her.”
In 2011, after their engagement was announced, Prince William and Kate were interviewed by ITV. The princess got questions about how she deals with criticism
“I think the people around home are very supportive of us, and those are the people who really matter to us: our close friends and close family. I think if they feel you are doing the right thing you can only be true to yourself and you sort of have to ignore a lot of what’s said, obviously take it on board, but you have to be yourself really and that’s how I have stuck by it really.”

Moreover, Kate Middleton revealed it was “nerve-wracking” to marry into the royal family. However, she would be “willing to learn quickly and work hard.”
“It’s obviously nerve-wracking, because I don’t know the ropes really, William is obviously used to it, but I’m willing to learn quickly and work hard. I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.”
Kate Middleton knows how she is helping herself in the best way possible through this very tricky situation. However, what is clear is that there are more questions raised every day–at least until we get to see Kate Middleton in public the next time.
