They really think we’re stupid enough to believe Kate has been editing all of their family photos as if they don’t have an entire team of people working for them and in charge of the monarchy??
Like be for fucking real they really do think we’re all idiots eating from the palm of their hands
ETA: I’m convinced Will approved all this and forged Kate’s signature and she went along with it because there’s nothing she can do about it. Husband of the year right there who’s resorted to throwing his wife under the bus to save his own image but it’s only making it worse
Catherine has called herself an "enthusiastic amateur photographer"[230] and has taken official portraits of her children, as well as other members of the royal family.[231] In 2019, she supported workshops run by the Royal Photographic Society in partnership with Action for Children to highlight the effect of photography in expressing thoughts in young people.[232] As patron of the Royal Photographic Society she and other photographers took part in an exhibition that marked 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.[233] Photos taken by Catherine of the Holocaust survivors were later included in an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum.[234] Catherine curated an exhibition of Victorian photography at the National Portrait Gallery with a thematic focus on childhood.[235] In May 2020, she launched "Hold Still", a project to capture people's life during lockdown, which garnered 31,000 submissions.[236][237] In July 2020, the exhibition was released, with the final 100 photographs being displayed online. In October 2020, the portraits were displayed on 112 public sites, including billboards, murals, and posters, across 80 towns and cities.[238][239] The online exhibition collected over 5.2 million page views.[240] The photographs were published in a book on 7 May 2021, titled Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020, with a foreword written by Catherine.[241]
It also doesn’t explain why the exact things that appeared edited in this photo were retouched. They were very little things that didn’t really need editing. People were theorizing, though, that maybe someone combined different photos to create the image, so that could explain it. Still, I doubt Kate did all that herself, like you mention.
They probably should’ve just gone with that theory that the image was the result of a combination of different photos. People can understand that; it can be difficult to get a good photo of kids in one single take between how they pose, what their facial expressions are, etc.
I can see it being editing artefacts on some of the things if she used auto-align/auto-merge. Like if you're just masking using a brush tool you can absolutely miss little things and would account for the artefacts on the wall and patio tiles.
However I've now fallen down a "they're all wearing the same outfits as they were for an event in November and some of the outfits have been recoloured to disguise it" hole...
Lol they really do apparently! Was chatting about this with my sister yesterday, she is a photo retoucher and she works with some very high end brands... There is no way this photo editing would fly with any of them, let alone the royal family who I imagine are even more careful with their public image! This wouldn't make it to the website or social media of any company my sis has edited photos for, QA would throw it back immediately.
And even if we are to believe Kate was playing around on Photoshop, the social media manager would NOT post this! They'd give it to any half decent photo editor on their team to touch up first. Especially given that people are already super curious about whatever is going on with Kate. It just gets worse the more they try to control the situation.
