Celebrity Photographer Explains Princess Kate's Mother's Day Photo

[@LadyNance]

Princess Catherine had nothing to do with this and still doesn't. This is someone else's PR fail and unnecessary controversy. There is no original photo and the Palace/media team has further complicated the incident using Kate as a scapegoat.

I think for Princess Catherine to have stepped forward takes just an amazing amount of courage. What an extraordinary woman. She did not look to hide behind the institution, she did not try to lay blame elsewhere, she did not cower in a corner. Under such a lonely, brutal microscope of international scrutiny and condemnation, she stepped into the flames. She rose up and stepped into the flames. I think she is BRAVE, FIERCE and HONEST. We are always trying to teach our girls and young women to have these qualities of personal ethics, compassion, strength, courage, accountability under fire. This is Princess Catherine. She faltered but she did not flee, fell but stood up. Princess Catherine made a mistake. Not catastrophic by any means, just an ordinary human error of judgement from a woman who has endured personal attacks for years but never faltered in her duty and dedication to the people of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth Realms. I think we should stand with her, and I think she needs us now, and I think we all need to decide who we are, and if we are of decency, then we need to rally to her and shelter her from these harms we've allowed on our watch. She tried to put out a message to make us feel better. Now she is being set on fire for it. Makes no sense.

Beautiful photo of a beautiful family. Shall we leave at that?

You don't get how serious this is? The AP said they can't trust a photo taken by William thus calling him untrustworthy.

There are probably multiple originals. Everyone keeps asking for ‘the’ original

This is becoming absolutely ridiculous! Enough of this topic! Let the Princess rehabilitate in peace! I can't believe how much emphasis is being put on this ridiculous photo edit of a beautiful family!

[@Carole1279]

Why did she release a montage ?? Like why?

[@lc9902]

Because she wanted to put out a positive image for mothering. That's all!!! Would you take a picture of yourself if you weren't feeling well?

[@designalternatives2757]

@@lc9902 She did that to overcome all of the horrible conspiracy theories that were being said that were absolutely ridiculous! Initially, they announced she would be rehabilitating until after Easter but all the haters couldn't just let her rest!

To everyone criticizing Catherine please share their medical history on social media.....including the "respected 😂" newspaper outlet goons.... The world will appreciate your transparency

[@marybrady3204]

Catherine was on the cover of a well known weekly magazine this week, when was that taken and was it photoshopped. Why aren't you making a fuss about that, it sells and makes money. Hypocrits. Catherine is alive and recovering. Leave her alone.

[@princetonscholar5723]

William is “protective of his family”? Did that announcer just say that? William just threw Kate’s behind under the bus!

[@karenchambers7231]

You all should be ashamed of yourselves bullying a sick women. Why can't you just leave her alone to recover from her illness.

[@knowledgeseeker2776]

They made a great point about Catherine not being protected by the folks around her. No one not even the Palace should make her do a photo opt while recuperating. Leave them in peace. Despite the brother’s differences they were both deeply affected by the maltreatment of their mother by the media. I hope they all have therapists.

[@rosemarymurlis-hellings8138]

She died 27 years ago. The whole family had therapy. One brother grew up, the other used it as an excuse.

[@beulah3484]

The point of the photo was not to counteract the conspiracy theories, but to celebrate MOTHERS day!! let her recuperate in peace..

[@Heinz57ish]

Well that would be naive if nothing else

[@Carole1279]

But it was a collage !!! It’s fake ? Why did she do that ?

[@ask_why000]

If the palace doesn't release that original photo - this will be their undoing. The problem for them is: They don't have the original, because the Franken photo was a hacked up hodge podge of Kate’s trip with her kids late last year “re-imagined” for the Mother’s Day pic.

[@pumpkinlashes596]

💯

[@shannonmonkman1763]

Why is everyone so concerned over a picture, who cares. She will be back in public when she's up to it... Let her rest!!!! I wish her the best and refused to get on board with this nonsense. Come on people, get on her side, she has earned everyone's loyalty.

[@susanpuckett6163]

Copywrite.

I hope she NEVER releases another photo ever.

[@Carole1279]

Fine by me

[@Dalriada123]

The purpose of the photograph was to celebrate Mother’s Day. The bullying by the press is shocking. The Princess of Wales is recuperating from serious surgery and the press were told in January that she wouldn’t be working until after Easter. Lay off and stop bullying the family.

[@Carole1279]

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Keep the same energy as u people for Meghan

[@PaulaTerryLancaster]

It's a pic of a mum w her kids on Mothers' Day! She doesn't claim it's been taken that very day! What a fuss about nothing!!

[@christinel.9742]

Sorry, but truth matters.

[@eshiestrik2756]

We were told the original was taken prior to Mother's Day and the Metadata shows it was taken on Friday before Mother's Day. It was then edited on Saturday! So taken two days prior and edited the day before Mother's Day! Fact!

[@Carole1279]

No it was a fake manufactured picture

[@christinel.9742]

@@eshiestrik2756 No the Metadata says the file was OPENED and saved on Photoshop on Friday. Not that it was created on Friday. Be accurate.

The palace needs to ignore you arses, who insist on bullying her.

[@Carole1279]

She hasn’t seen anything yet

[@nw7955]

uh... i think princess Kate is being bullied here by her husband and the royal family! If she is well, why isn't see been seen in public for so long and why would they photo shop a family photo if she is well. Maybe she is dead, maybe they killed her or she is in a coma and the RF has no other way to be accountable to the public and had to fake a family photo to calm speculation. Maybe it is true that Prince William's mistress had killed Princess Kate. All these "maybe's" will disappeared if we see the Princess herself. The public love the Princess and would like to see her safe and well. That's all the public wants right now.

[@myrrh2000]

Why should she have to post the original? How many families touch up family photos?why would they ever want to put out another photo photo?

[@user-pf4hk3kw6v]

You people bullied Meghan for years, it's ok for Meghan to suffer, but now, lay off Kate. Really, Meghan's child died. Karma, karma, karma.
