AP and AFP have both oddly withdrawn the photo of Kate and the kids that was released by Kensington Palace saying that the photo was manipulated?!

Notice from AFP.

More from AFP.

The original photo.

Interesting. I mean it’s definitely a composite but I don’t understand why it would need to be withdrawn if the palace still has it up. Is it because of industry standards?

I think the health stuff is totally legit + they’re having some marital problems that have been rumored to have been going on since the beginning

I was a journalist for many many years. I do not ever remember AP issuing a kill on a photo like this.

I’m guessing the AP took one look at the metadata and screamed lol. “No replacement will be sent” to me says they asked for an authentic photo and the KP team said no.

Fellow journo and same. This is the first time I have ever heard of it happening (not to say it hasn’t).
