Kate Middleton admits editing family photo, apologizes ‘for any confusion’
A recently released family photo of Kate, the Princess of Wales, and her three children was edited, Kensington Palace confirms.
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” a statement from the Kensington royals reads.
Signed “C,” for Catherine, the message appears to be written by Kate Middleton herself.
Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C

The picture marked the first official image of Kate since she underwent abdominal surgery nearly two months ago.
