CNN is reviewing all of the photos issued by Kensington Palace, oh noooo…
March 13, 2024
By Kaiser Kate Middleton, Prince William, RoyalsCNN is reviewing all photographs handed out by Kensington Palace after the Princess of Wales admitted editing a family portrait. The American broadcaster said the picture of the Princess and her three children had been distributed for editorial purposes and that media organisations “expect those images to be accurate”. The photograph was recalled by four of the world’s biggest picture agencies over fears it had been “manipulated”. The Princess then admitted editing the image after several inconsistencies were identified. She said that as an amateur photographer, she “occasionally experimented” and apologised for any confusion it had caused. An analysis of the furore published online by CNN said that, like most news organisations, they “regard it as unacceptable to move, change or manipulate the pixels of an image” as it would alter the reality of the situation the image is intended to document. “CNN is now reviewing all handout photos previously provided by Kensington Palace,” it added. A decision about any action will be taken when the investigation has concluded. [From The Telegraph]

This is rather a low comment -
Yeah, Kaiser - they are white and not any of your business? Keep your racist and hateful comments to yourself.
There have been some egregious examples of heavily manipulated photos coming from KP before now, but the reason why those photos were never called out was because they weren’t released as a significant “proof of life” during a particularly weird missing-princess storyline. Like, the photo of QEII and her white grandkids (taken by Kate) was so obviously heavily edited, but it wasn’t issued as “look, QEII is still alive, we promise!” There were no constitutional implications. Oh, adjacent to this, the British Press Photographers’ Association released a pretty scathing statement about Kate’s Photoshop debacle:

AFP started this by saying that they would be reviewing all the photos they’ve received from KP. Good!

I think William is at fault here….I also believe he wanted to upstage and knock Harry and Meghan off the front page celebrating the birthday of the Uvalde victims’s family….and it backfired. I’m sorry…I can’t feel bad for Kate…she was awful to Meghan.

A tell tale sign is that Kate and the kids purposefully pose with their hands hidden, or their fingers held together. This way, it’s easier to photoshop, switch between people or settings, rotate positions, and change background.
As an example, both the Mother’s Day and Christmas card images do this.
In the Mother’s Day image, George and Charlotte’s hands are unnatural and look similar. They might even both be Charlotte’s hands.
In the Mother’s Day image, Kate’s hands are NOT original to the photoshoot. They have been photoshopped from pap photos of Kate holding a clutch, then rotated.
KP have been compiling a library of royal body parts and have definitely been fudging official portraits for quite some time.
Another element to this is DO THEY OWN THE COPYRIGHT of the images they’ve been frankensteining?

I think this aspect may be the reason why the AP put out that “kill notice” in the first place. I don’t believe that would happen if it were merely a few photoshopping errors, even if they were big ones, like rotating or moving something that was there. No, I think that the most likely reason is that part of the image ( I think Kate’s head and face) was copied (poorly) without accreditation to the original and stitched on to an existing ( perhaps older) photo.

“We are led to believe that HRH The Princess of Wales has said that she edited the image and has apologised.”
No one believes the word of the palace anymore (“we are led to believe?”).
If you are claiming your family is part of the history, by photoshopping / manipulating (not just fixing some wrinkles or bad hair) the images, you are basically changing a historical document. I have seen some examples of these that BRF has always done in the past, but in the past, the monarchy had the divine power to serve anything they wanted to their subjects. We are not at those times. I think, if you are adding kids, who are not there, to the photo of the QE2, it should be called out too. It isn’t a family photo if you are sending them out to the global news agencies. It is pity it took so long for them to take a notice of this.

No more merching for Kate off of the photos of her and her family. Second, KP has just picked a fight with the press and it is clear that the world press has no fear of the monarchy (nor should they) and I believe that this will lead to a fracturing of media relations for the BRF. The BRF can pretend that access to weddings is impossible without their permission, but the world press can rely on bloggers and rely on other sources for coverage material. The royal families need the press more than the press needs them.

I cannot believe it is still not relenting and the world's press, the legitimate morning talk shows, etc, are just trying to make sense of it all. They seem to be trying to understand just why the BRF/KP cannot be upfront or why they cannot be open and apologize. There is a attempt to really try to understand the mess the BRF are making with their secrecy and actions; a real determined effort to understand, too. I just have to shake my head in disgust as I know that they are being played and deceived as well as anybody, but their jobs, obviously, are to be professional and rational and try to present the real story.
What an embarrassing mess. If people knew how badly they are being deceived.

What an embarrassing mess. If people knew how badly they are being deceived. There is obviously a crisis situation, and I am certain that the press is sick and tired of William's games. The BRF refuses to be adult and straightforward. It's not like things are not beyond hte pale suspicious and the BRF still insist on being condescending. |
