A range of global wire services have pulled a Mother’s Day picture of the Princess of Wales and her three children over fears the image of high-profile members of the British royal family may have been digitally manipulated.
The Associated Press news agency said it had initially published the photo, issued by the couple’s official residence at Kensington Palace, but later retracted the image .
“It appeared the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand,” AP said.
Reuters and AFP also issued so-called “kill notices” on the image.
Kensington Palace could not be contacted on Sunday evening.
