Catherine, Princess of Wales has taken responsibility and apologized for an edited official photograph that was recalled by a number of international news agencies over concerns it had been manipulated. <\/p>\n

Kate said she was sorry for \u201cany confusion\u201d caused by the image, after her \u201cexperiment\u201d with photo editing caused scrutiny for Kensington Palace and increased confusion over Kate\u2019s extended absence from the public eye. <\/p>\n

The photograph, released Sunday to mark Mother\u2019s Day in the UK, was the first official picture of Kate since she underwent abdominal surgery in January. <\/p>\n

But hours after it was released by Kensington Palace, four major photo agencies issued \u201ckill notices,\u201d expressing concerns it had been edited. <\/p>\n

Catherine wrote on X: \u201cLike many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.\u201d <\/p>\n

But the palace did not provide any further details on what aspects of the image Catherine was attempting to edit, or whether the picture released was a composite that combined multiple photographs from the same shoot. <\/p>\n

The family traditionally releases a family photo on Mother\u2019s Day, but this year\u2019s image came amid a backdrop of intrigue and confusion over Kate\u2019s extended absence following her January operation. <\/p>\n

Those questions were briefly dispelled on Sunday by the release of the image, which Kensington Palace said was taken by William, Prince of Wales. <\/p>\n

The Associated Press noted that \u201cat closer inspection it appears that the source has manipulated the image.\u201d Agence France-Presse said it had withdrawn the photo due to \u201can editorial issue.\u201d <\/p>\n

In a note to clients the agency wrote: \u201cIt has come to light that this handout photo\u2026 issued by Kensington Palace today of the Princess of Wales and her kids had been altered and therefore it was withdrawn from AFP systems.\u201d\u00a0<\/em> <\/p>\n

PA Images and Getty Images also \u201ckilled\u201d the photo. <\/p>\n

The palace has faced mounting public pressure to share more information about the future Queen in recent weeks, but it has taken a firm line on protecting her privacy. <\/p>\n

She is not scheduled to make any official appearances until after Easter. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n
