Kate Middleton Doctored Photo: AFP Says Kensington Palace No Longer A “Trusted Source” & Kill Notices Usually Reserved For North Korea


Phil Chetwynd, global news director at AFP, revealed that Kensington Palace is no longer a "trusted source" after Kate Middleton picture row.

One of the world’s biggest news agencies has claimed that Kensington Palace is no longer a “trusted source” after the furor over Kate Middleton ‘s doctored Mother’s Day image. Middleton has apologized for “confusion” over the photo, which she attributed to an “experiment with editing.” Kensington Palace has not commented further and has declined to publish the original image, which was purportedly taken by Prince William this year. The photo was principally shared to mark Mother’s Day in the UK, but it is broadly accepted that the image served a dual purpose of addressing wild social media speculation about Middleton’s health and whereabouts following her abdominal surgery in January.
