Kate Middleton's Altered Family Photo Gets Warning From Instagram That It Might Be 'Misleading'

Instagram issued the warning after some photo agencies claimed the image in the Princess of Wales' Mother's Day post had been altered.

Despite multiple news outlets' notices to remove the photo due to suspicions of manipulation, the portrait remained on the royal couple's Instagram profile. Users who click on the warning are presented with a more detailed pop-up message that reads, "Independent fact-checkers say the photo or image has been edited in a way that could mislead people, but not because it was shown out of context." In response to the controversy surrounding the manipulated photo, Kate issued a public statement on Monday via the official Instagram account she shares with Prince William.
