Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Princess of Wales Catherine, aka Kate Middleton, apologized for editing a photo of herself with her three children. The photo post was withdrawn by several news agencies on Sunday after they confirmed it had been manipulated.
Citing the New York Times Instagram account, the decision to withdraw the photo sparked a storm of speculation about Kate, who has not been seen in public since she underwent stomach surgery almost two months ago.
In her statement, the 42-year-old daughter said that the change was caused by the photographer's innocent desire to improve the image.
It said that the details of the photo showed various visual inconsistencies indicating that the photo had been doctored.
In some areas of the image, details such as sleeves or zippers are misaligned, or have an artificial pattern.
Hours after Kensington Palace released the photo, The Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse issued advisories urging news organizations to remove the photo.
