Kate Middleton’s photo editing blunder creates chaos for royals as pals defend ‘innocent snap
Daily Record
The Wales family often shares their own photos, usually taken by Kate, to celebrate special events like their children’s birthdays but now, people are wondering if – or how much – these images have been changed before.
PR and crisis expert Mark Borkowski said this mess-up was a “massive own goal” and suggested that the original photo should be shared to rebuild trust. He commented: “It’s possible 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, reports the Mirror.
“Mr Borkowski said the Mother’s Day photo had revealed a public relations issue for the monarchy: “That’s the problem, 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. They are under pressure, massively under pressure, this is a massive own goal.”
