‘PR disaster’: Royal expert claims Princess Kate’s photo edit an ‘innocent mistake’

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield claims Princess Catherine’s edited photo was an “innocent mistake” and the royal is not a “professional photoshopper”. Kensington Palace has faced growing pressure to release the original Mother’s Day photograph after it was revealed the image had been doctored. The Princess of Wales apologised for the “confusion” it had caused and insisted she was the one who edited the photo. “If you are a social media user you can absolutely relate to that and you might have made a few tweaks on an image yourself,” Ms Schofield told Sky News Australia. “So while it is a PR nightmare, without a doubt, and has led to additional speculation on top of all the chaos as a result of the Princess of Wales’s abdominal surgery, I do think at the end of the day this was just an innocent mistake.”
