Kate Middleton has become the undisputed protagonist of the last month. On March 10, Kensington Palace shared a photograph of Princess Catherine with her three children (George, Luis and Charlotte) with the intention of congratulating Mother’s Day and ending speculation about the delicate state of Middleton health. However, exactly the opposite happened.
Hundreds of users on the Internet and different media outlets detected some clues in the image that revealed that it had been retouched with Photoshop. As a result of this controversy, the main communication agencies began to remove the photograph from their servers, something that sparked controversy on the Internet.
The situation reached such a point that Prince William’s wife intoned the mea culpa and asked for forgiveness in the first person through an Instagram story: ”’Like many other amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing (…) “I want to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday may have caused.”
Although it seemed that everything had ended with the princess’s public apology, different media outlets began to investigate old photos of the British Royal House in search of aesthetic manipulation and Photoshop retouching. In addition, the aristocrat’s strange attitude caused her theories about her health to multiply on the Internet.
During yesterday’s Aruser@s program, Alfonso Arús was very critical of the English aristocrat’s actions and expressed that if they had tried to deceive them with the photo, the statement they were supposedly going to release could also be ‘false’: ‘ ‘If the photo is doctored, I have no guarantee that the statement is not also doctored and that the doctor says common cold.’
The media The Sun and TMZ have echoed some images in which Kate Middleton supposedly appears with Prince William. The video has caused a lot of talk, since the princess comes out looking great and is even carrying some shopping bags, something that would rule out the theories that claim that she is in poor health. “She is apparently alive and apparently in good shape,” Arús said.
“If it’s not her, we have to give way to the Republic tomorrow,” the presenter declared, unleashing laughter from his table companions. For her part, Angie Cárdenas wanted to make it clear to the audience that many users on the Internet are denouncing that this is fake news and that she is not the Princess of Wales.
