Princess Kate photo: Expert fears conspiracy theorists ‘won’t believe’ apology
Express
Public relations and crisis consultant Mark Borkowski called on the Royal Family to release the original, unedited photograph.
Speaking to the PA news agency, Mr Borkowski said people likely won’t believe the Princess’ explanation due to “all the conspiracy theories running around”.
He said: “It’s plausible she’s at home playing with the computer and using an AI tool, but if they’re really going to regain any sort of trust they should release the unedited photo, it can’t be that bad if they just made a few tweaks.
“I find they have risen to the challenge, provided the statement as an explanation – the question is with all the conspiracy theories running around, is whether people believe it and I’m not sure that they will.”
The expert added that the picture had “exposed a public relations problem” within The Firm.
He continued: “That’s the issue, there doesn’t seem to be that much joined-up strategic thinking at the heart of the royal family at the moment, which leads to these problems where it’s a very difficult organisation to manage in terms of PR.”
