The Royal Photo Controversy: Kate Middleton's Unexpected Admission

Being a princess doesn't just mean wearing expensive clothes, attending gala dinners, or representing the country around the world. It can also mean taking the blame for others, even at the cost of being at the center of an international scandal and fueling a debate for days, if not weeks. To protect the head of communication for the Prince of Wales, Lee Thompson, Kate Middleton has indeed admitted to being responsible for the photo editing that is causing discussion on social media, press, and television, thus ending up even more at the center of gossip around the world. Meghan Markle, the return to the United Kingdom also involves social media: the Duchess of Sussex's moves to regain popularity. Who is the real responsible? Can photo editing generate an international case? If it's done by the Princess of Wales, the answer is yes. Four days after the publication of the first family photo after being hospitalized, Kate Middleton is still at the center of gossip and conspiracy theories around the world due to the excessive - and inaccurate - editing of the portrait. This fact has led the 42-year-old to officially apologize, admitting she was responsible for the photo editing that has sparked debate on the web: "Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with photo editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion caused by the family photograph we shared yesterday. I hope everyone who celebrated had a happy Mother's Day." A response, hers, that has not convinced everyone. "Is it possible that a princess would edit photos herself? Isn't there someone who does it for her?", writes a user on X. A legitimate question, shared by the majority of web users and also reported by Richard Eden, journalist of the "Dailymail". According to the Royal expert, it was not the Princess of Wales who edited the photo, but the royal head of communication Lee Thompson. Alongside William and Kate since 2022, the public relations expert of the couple would be the real responsible for the grievous error that is making everyone talk on the web. Why Kate doesn't tell the truth? But if the fault lies with Lee Thompson, why would Kate Middleton have said she was responsible for the incident? According to Richard Eden, the Princess of Wales would want to avoid much more serious and severe problems. As reported by the "Dailymail", William and Kate would indeed be "obsessed" with the tragic death of Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse known in the hospital where the princess was hospitalized in 2021. The woman had indeed taken her own life after being the victim of a phone prank by two Australian radio DJs, who had pretended to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles for the occasion. After speaking with the "fake royals", the nurse had indeed transferred the call to a colleague who was taking care of the princess, who had then spoken live with the two hosts revealing Kate's health conditions. This fact had led the nurse to commit suicide, leaving notes attributing her act to the radio prank. As reported by the English newspaper, the royal family was particularly shaken by the incident, to the point of sending a touching letter to the victim's family: "Jacintha and her colleagues took very good care of us and I am so sorry that someone who took such good care of others found themselves in such a desperate situation," the prince had said. Does the royal family fear another suicide following the photo error? According to the "Dailymail" the answer would be yes.
