That ‘manipulated’ Kate Middleton picture is all anyone is talking about – 27 favourite reactions
There’s only one story that anyone is talking about right now and it’s that picture of Kate Middleton which was meant to put all those conspiracy theories to bed but ended up pulling back the duvet and stripping the sheets instead.
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C

It was the first official photograph of the Princess of Wales to be released after her abdominal surgery two months ago, taken by the Prince of Wales and released to coincide with Mother’s Day.
But it was subsequently recalled by some of the world’s biggest picture agencies over claims it had been manipulated, specifically an ‘inconsistency’ in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.
No comment from Kensington Palace tonight after at least 3 international pictures agencies refuse to distribute this morning’s photo of Kate and her children. Some of them (@AP ) have claimed “the source [the palace] has manipulated the image”. pic.twitter.com/ppOwDtPr9P

And it naturally got people hunting high and low for other elements of the photo that they thought might not look quite right

Whatever the truth, the reaction on Twitter went into overdrive and we’ve read all the responses – well, quite a few of them – so you don’t have to. These people surely said it best.

ME: I don’t believe in conspiracy theories
TWITTER: She’s missing a wedding ring. Her right hand is blurry. The daughter’s wrist is photoshopped.

At this point there’s only two people I trust to get to the bottom of the #KateMiddleton drama
Can we start a GoFundMe and get them to work asap? #WhereIsKate #KensingtonPalace pic.twitter.com/NnHTek9kHh

It’s sad when our families don’t appreciate all the things we moms do for them. For instance, my husband has not once thanked me today for providing him with up-to-the-minute coverage on the Kensington Palace photo conspiracy.
