Kensington Palace is refusing to release the original Mother’s Day photo of Kate Middleton and her kids after the Princess of Wales admitted to editing the snap, the Daily Mail reported Monday.
According to the outlet, the royal family has felt “increasing pressure” to release the unedited version of the photo, with PR experts arguing that it needs to happen in order to regain the public’s trust.
Still, Kensington Palace has said it will not be releasing the pic – despite ongoing conspiracy theories about Middleton’s whereabouts post-surgery and claims that she heavily used Photoshop or an AI tool to doctor the image.
“It’s plausible [Kate’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,” PR expert Mark Borkowski told the Daily Mail.
“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.
