In the aftermath of an editing error on Mother’s Day, Princess Kate is poised to break a significant custom concerning her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Speculation arises that the Princess of Wales may refrain from sharing any more photos of her offspring online due to the recent controversy surrounding a digitally altered image released by Kensington Palace.
The now-infamous photo, which was withdrawn by agencies last Sunday over concerns of digital manipulation, has landed the Princess of Wales in hot water.
In response to the debacle, a royal analyst suggests that the royal family needs to reassess their approach to posting pictures.
Russell Myers, the royal editor at The Daily Mirror, expressed his views on True Royalty TV, stating that it would be a great loss if Kate refrained from sharing more photos of her children.
Over the years, Princess Kate has delighted the public with glimpses of her kids on special occasions such as birthdays, Louis’ first day of school, and their annual Christmas cards.
However, the recent incident has cast doubt on whether she will continue this tradition.
Kate Manzi, assistant editor at The Times, revealed that the Wales communications team acted swiftly in response to the image controversy.
According to Manzi, the image was circulated among the team on a Saturday, with Princess Kate editing it the night before and in the morning before sharing it with the crew.
Despite the quick turnaround, the issues with the image went unnoticed initially.
In hindsight, it is believed that more consideration could have been given by the communications staff before releasing the photo to the public.
The situation escalated when death threats emerged on Sunday night, prompting Catherine to issue a personal message on her social media account the following morning.
The rapid response by the Palace in addressing the threats was noted as unusually swift by their standards, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
The incident has sparked discussions about the future of sharing photos of the royal children and the need for a more cautious approach in light of recent events.
