On March 10, the Princess of Wales shared a new family photo on the occasion of Mother's Day, with a message in which she thanks the public for their continued support in the wake of her planned abdominal surgery.
In the photo, which was taken by the Prince of Wales earlier this week, the Princess of Wales is pictured beaming in a chair, surrounded by her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
In her message, the Princess of Wales wrote: "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day. C".

Beautiful! I wonder what jokes their dad makes to make them look so Happy!
ReplyDeleteNice to see Catherine, i have always liked these boots on her.
Same here. It is lovely to the Princess of Wales again, and I'm excited to see her back in action after Easter.

They are good on stage and know how to act well for sure.
DeleteHappy pic alright.

Kate could not sit for one real photo - tells that this is a much more dire situation than anyone knows.
DeleteAnonymous 12/3/24 00:11,
DeleteIt is none of our business, that is her private health matters. We know what they told us, she would be recovering until after Easter - given the length of recovery most of us knew it has to be something serious. But we don’t pry, because she us on sick leave - we have no right to demand to know the intimate details of what surgery she had nor a day-by-day account of how her recovery is going.
I hope you all had a lovely Mother’s Day on Sunday.

Unfortunately, it's not the same date for all countries.
DeleteConspiracy Theorien think the Princess Catherine photo is edited. ;-))
ReplyDeleteI like the way the children are dressed,like a normal childrens and I don't believe in theories of conspirations,but if true,why?Getty the largest photography agence in the world and the others know how to reconized a normal photo from the manipulated one.What is rhe reason for the manipulation?
DeleteOh yes, Anonymous 09:16, on "Daily Mail" there are a lot of conspiracy theories...
DeleteAnd it IS edited, see kensingtonroyal on x
DeletePrincess Kate released a tweed n Monday saying she herself edited the photo.
DeleteWell Kate has admitted to have edited the photo so guess they was proven right...
DeleteTiny irrelevant details!! the lighting! the almost unseen twisted pattern on Louis' jumper! blaa blaa!

Bravo to her editing skills then. All social media platforms have integrated editing, photoshop, filters so its impossible to post a photo without it being enhanced. Media just fishing a controversial story but it failed this time.

It's true. Catherine apologized for a manupulated photography...
DeleteAnon 12.46, you mean editing? Manipulating is Markles specialty..
DeleteAnon 18:11 -- do you mean Samantha Markle...? :-)
DeleteNo, Anon, 18:11, what Catherine did goes beyond editing. The news agencies who pulled this photo out of their sites term it manipulation. It was also calculating and deceptive. A Daily Mail piece noted that Kensington Palace seems to think
DeleteWe are stupid. And I don’t usually fall in line with the Daily Mail—but that’s correct. Your comment was suspect as soon as you nastily dragged in Meghan, who has nothing to do with this situation. There are actually three different photos involved by Catherine, clumsily pieced together. And the background is also false as it is the wrong season. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/03/11/princess-of-wales-news-agencies-retract-manipulated-kate-image.html
18:11 you just couldn't help yourself. I guess this is just fashion criticism.
DeleteTriggering wasn’t it 😊 - Anon 18.11
DeleteEditing goes on in every aspect of public relations, private families, royal families, as well as those who live in CA and want their privacy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13189743/Harry-Meghan-hypocrisy-snap-pregnant-Archie-doctored-Kate-photoshop.html
DeleteRemember Daily Mail was also the one who changed this photo just to make a negative story about Meghan and Harry, so no attacking them over a tree is pretty pathetic. If who ever made the mother day photo only had put a tree in it no one would have cared. Harry and Meghan hasn't mentioned the photo with a word still Daily Mail just has to drag them into this. Why? Deflection. Get people angry at Harry and Meghan, and feel sorry for Kate and William so the storm against them goes away. This is from the royal rota handbook. Daily Mail probably got an angry phonecall from the palace after they didn't followed the handbook, but criticized the Waleses.

Lol Meghan again…
Delete3:39 And now the Daily Mail has pissed of the photographer who took the pregnancy photo. He demands an apology for the lie. Which made Daily Mail change their original story. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4dBKMKovio/ he also shared the original photo with metadata. https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Misan-Harriman-Denies-Editing-Meghan-Markle-Pregnancy-Photo-inline.jpg?w=800&quality=86&strip=all

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo, I hope she is well!
ReplyDeleteIndeed german press does not show the picture or only with the hint, that it might have been photoshoped (german expression). Hm
ReplyDeleteThe princess herself just told, that she made some editing , see bbc online
DeleteJa, offensichtlich wollte die Prinzessin zeigen, wie gut es ihr geht. Dabei hätte sie in ihrer Vorbildposition auch zeigen können, wie man nach einem größeren Eingriff aussieht und sich fühlt (was ihr Schwiegervater ja vorlebt). Darum geht es doch auch in ihrem Mental Health Projekt. Chance vertan.
DeleteEine Frage finde ich hier wichtig: ist das ganze eigentlich wichtig genug für die Aufregung?
DeleteNun, offensichtlich waren Prinz und Prinzessin schlecht beraten. Ihr PR-Team muss gewußt haben, dass so stark veränderte Fotos (und wir reden hier nicht von Filtern) von der Presse nicht veröffentlicht wird - aus gutem Grund.
DeleteCora
Eines ist damit deutlich, das Königshaus ist keine verläßliche Quelle. Hätte ich nicht für möglich gehalten.
DeleteLovely family picture! I don't understand the communication of the palace. Catherine has every right to keep health issues private, but WHY release a press photo with obvious photoshop faults, like on Charlotte's sleeve? They KNOW it will be analyzed on every detail. Big mistake in the communications department.
ReplyDeleteThat being said: she has a right to keep things private. She has a public role but she's not common property. People should stop making theories and carry on with their own life. Damsel Dragonfly
Totally agree with you, Damsel Dragonfly!
DeleteI feel sorry for the princess about all this fuss on the occasion of her first, highly expected public appearance in the press. A simple photo as it came out of the camera would have saved the royal family trouble, and now also stress for her. I look forward to the next occasion to see her, and wish her the best.
DeleteI don't understand why people are so nasty these days, why believe in rumors, they have nothing better to do with their lives? there are much more important events happening right now in the world. I wouldn't want to be in Catherine's place.
ReplyDeletemjt
It is no rumor. News agencies do not publish pictures, which are overly edited like this one.
DeleteThink about, why a photo is so heavily edited, that news agencies (to whom it was sent) can‘t show it. And why a picture obviously taken last year?
DeleteAnon 12.59, ”heavily” is a bit exaggerated don’t you think?
DeleteNo anon 18.15, thats what the press rules said. Some little editing would not have been a problem. Here the hole picture is fake

A collage is "an art-making technique where pieces of paper, photos, pictures and other things are arranged and stuck down onto a surface"
In this case, help has been taken via Photoshop

@Anon 13:41 comment out of place under these circumstances.
DeleteAh no wonder, the pic is entirely photoshopped to be seen as a perfect family. Even the tree at their place is too perfect for this time of the year 😅
DeleteThis is a very nice image. However, the kerfuffle about the editing done to it seems to have undermined one of the purposes for releasing the image, namely, to calm online speculation about Kate’s recovery/health. This was a perplexing PR fail, I think.
ReplyDelete-Royal Watcher
The pic is fake and many agencies have already retired it. If you wonder why they published a fake, well... Ask yourself and then give yourself the answer.
ReplyDeleteHave to agree, this seems not to be an actual picture, so why?
DeleteYou mean edited
DeleteMy first impression of the picture when I first saw it was that something was off. I didn't know exactly what it was but it looked odd. The way Kate's hands are placed around the children looks unnatural like they are too stiff. Now some people are saying the trees are too leafy for this time of year. I thought I was being too suspicious but now that others have noticed some things I see my first impression is correct.
ReplyDeleteIn der Tat wirkt das Foto irgendwie falsch positioniert. Warum dieses grob fotoshop bearbeitetes Bild, wo es doch sicher genug andere gäbe? Die Prinzessin hat das doch gar nicht nötig
DeleteI'm not gonna say whats right. Not interested in a he say she say debate. I'm only gonna show what an expert said. A director of editing in an Norwegian newspaper said that a trained eye can see that this is 2 photos put together. He saw 3 big mistakes. One is charlotte as we already heard about. He see her arm is cloned or copied in.
ReplyDeleteSecond the tiles next to Louis shoes the line is broken and the tiles doesn't
match.
And third this one. And this is a major one. Kates jacket. This is a straight line he says, but the zipper doesn't match. Also there are changes on the pixel. Look at the image.
He also say there have been speculation about Louises hands strange angle. This is a known problem with A1 generated photos,but he can't determine that the image is AI generated.

I see english press say there are 16 mistakes. So much for killing the rumours.
DeleteKate's head looks too big for her body. Once you start looking closely at the photo you begin to see all kinds of inconsistencies.
DeleteOuch, it’s gas! 😤 however interesting analysis.
DeleteThe palace has an explanation problem when even Hello mag. who never writes a negative thing about the royals. Writes this and highlighted the problem with the photo. https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/515156/princess-kate-doctored-photo-removed-from-picture-agencies/
ReplyDeleteShe's so pretty and the children are so cute. I'm glad she's feeling better and like the reader said before me, I can't wait to see her in action again.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Mary.
DeleteAnd you really know, how she feels?
DeleteWe learn nothing from this picture as it is a complete fake.
DeleteThe Waleses are trying too hard to be seen as perfect it’s all fake 😂
DeleteClaire
I feel that public figures and royals should have a degree of privacy and
ReplyDeleteThe only problem I see is that when you are afforded a life of luxury such as castles, palaces, very high end clothing and the most beautiful jewels in the world you do have to be somewhat accountable. These very expensive perks come at the expense of the taxpayers whom some live from paycheck to paycheck!
ReplyDeletePerfectly said Anon 16:20.

Was mir als erstes aufgefallen ist, der fehlende Verlobungsring an Ihrer linken Hand.
ReplyDeleteNicht wahr?
DeleteDas Ringproblem ist für mich nicht relevant; Sie hat es wahrscheinlich für die Operation abgenommen und wahrscheinlich ist sie noch nicht zurück zu Schmuck tragen.
DeleteMary, für die Operation entfernt und noch immer keine Zeit, den Ring für ein Foto anzulegen? Aber wir mussten ja lesen, daß nichts an dem Foto echt ist. Wie schade, hat sie gar nicht nötig!

ReplyDeleteGood spot. Amazing 👍 …but a bit mad at the same time i must say 😂
DeleteShame on the Wales to fake this picture giving everyone again a fairytale picture. Not the 1st time.
But at last, we enjoy the overdone happy pic of these beautiful kids. Well done.
Laura
Oh completely! No need to publish for a sake of publishing.
DeleteTrish
Laura, "well done"? It is a joke?
DeleteReally pathetic to fake to be seen as a perfect family ever after …
DeleteVic
The sweaters are nice and they are a nice looking family. It is sad that they have to manipulate what goes to press to give the illusion of a perfection. Is this not why a family member has been ousted for publishing the truth.
ReplyDeleteI can’t understand their obsession to appear as a perfect family full of happiness and over-smiling the way the kids are, etc … it’s not natural at all, on top of the tendency of over-photoshopped ! She looks much older than her age but she is still a beautiful woman, their kids are naturally gorgeous … why all these efforts of fake?! I hate comparing but look up the Norwegean royals or the young couple also at their age Guillaume and Stephanie to name a few, we admire and love these royals for being genuine.
Delete(Sorry if i upset many pro-Wales in this blog but that’s my opinion).
Janet
They all look nice in their casual clothing. So, William has learned he has to take a good dozen photos because photoshop is not allowed. Lesson learned, I trust. Go ahead, William; take more at Easter. Christine
ReplyDeleteI think the whole story was a bit naive from them. Yes looking forward to the next ones.
DeletePár slov k úprave tejto fotografie". Nothing terrible happened! Small adjustments to small details that ordinary readers will not even notice are not a crime! In my opinion, Kate had nothing to apologize for. Why people are making a drama out of nothing? Adjusted sleeve hem and similar petty little things? If people only made such "mistakes", the world would be wonderful. After all, Waleses don't use photos of completely different people or events - as one of their relatives did, who stole footage from a famous movie premiere and used it in a documentary to portray himself as a victim of medias.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the old English "Keep smiling and be calm" ? A picture of a family wishing a happy holiday to people - Mother's Day - is used by trolls for complete conspiracies.
Stephanie
It's a sympathetic family photo, and I guess that afterwards she wanted her hand around Louis, too, and that's the reason for adding her right hand to the photo as well. Don't know the motivation behind the other manipulations. (Manipulation means adding or removing an element in a photo, whereas editing and developing are normal and accepted ways of postprocessing documentary photos.) I confess I first doubted if the photo indeed was taken recently or if it was an older one. The leaves of the bush behind them look more autumnal to my eyes, but as I don't live in the UK, I don't know how their garden's should normally look in early March. Anyway, wishing her well. Her SIL has already been beaten hideously by the press and the pottymouths of social media, and I hope they don't now attack Kate as well...
ReplyDelete-B.
Well, not a bad job photoshopping. Sadly it should have been honestly disclosed upfront. Whatever trust one had in the PR of Kensington Palace before… now it’s all gone. An “apology” won’t cut it for blatantly lying.
ReplyDeletePetra
Yes It is sad. An institution that one thought would represent honesty, solidity and high morals have just shown us that even K Palace take the chance to manipulate the people. When needed. They prioritize their own trade mark before showing integrity.
DeleteThis family is on solid ground, a tight-knit family, extended family, and if someone makes a choice to alter one of their own photos, it is their right. Goodness me, but people are intrusive, and have gone totally nuts over the photo. I see a Mum and three very engaged, content, happy children. Sarann
ReplyDeleteWell said. I agree with you. Nice picture of a mom and her children. Their picture, their right to alter. People have gone totally crazy and how ridiculous when there are SO many other issues in our world!
DeleteM
Sarann, and what you see is the problem: fake. The old wisdom, don't trust pictures!
DeleteAgree to anon 07.18, because there is so much "editing", readers could feel manipulated and that's a bad thing
DeleteA big storm in a little British teacup.
DeleteShould she be locked in the Tower of London and punished for doing what she wants to do with her own photo?
deadeggs past topic...
DeleteNo, there is not that much editing that it is fake. This is what Catherine looks like. This is what George looks like. This is what Charlotte looks like. This is what Louis looks like. They do not look like aliens or monsters. Get a grip peope! If a person feels manipulated by some editing to clothes or background then they have more serious problems than a photograph!

Wow, you lost trust because of an edited picture. What are your thoughs on countries being at war, must be out of this world for you?
DeleteAnon 18:26: you totally misunderstood my message!
DeleteI think it was unfortunate to publish this photo. First: why did they feel the pressure to publish anything at all? It was said that Princess Catherine is on sick leave until after easter. Why bow to the pressure that only comes from anti-monarchists, from the media who want to make money of Catherine and from crazy dumb internet trolls? Just ignore all of them. And second: if they wanted to put something out, why does it always have to be the 'perfect picture'? Why not a normal picture, like for instance a picture from their home, Catherine writing easter cards with the kids or something like that? This would be far more relatable than these staged, altered photos.
ReplyDeleteI agree. On one hand plenty of mysteries on the other hand sending a manipulated picture into the world to obtain what, more mystery ? They should better think twice before acting like this, making themselves a bit unbelievable. She was on sick leave until after Easter. Normal people do not expect her to be seen earlier. Or was she or were her advisers afraid that she could be forgotten ?
DeleteBeth and Anon 16.51, a lot of opinions.. yet I’m sure that there is no filter in any pictures on neither of your social media accounts. Just as natural as everyone elses.
Delete@Anonymous 12/3/24 17:46 Yes, is do use filters. My mobile phone suggests optimizing lightning and focus. If I have the time I also play around with photoshop to improve pictures. But then again I am not in the public eye and can do whatever I want. Catherine's photoshopping was so bad, some experts even suggest the whole picture was fabricated. This was a bad move at this time and the PR of Kensignton Palace should have foreseen this.
DeleteI also read that the picture was entirely fabricated. It was also said that William took the picture, who is lying. Surprising from Kate, she has been so perfect so far.
DeleteThe story keeps growing. True or not. If true really shocking
ReplyDeleteand then the next question is why? https://twitter.com/i/status/1767184942859997400
You are absolutely right, Beth. Apart from that, this hype for perfect pictures build up the pressure for others to be as perfect as possible as well. And Kate is in the "mental health- team" and should have known better. Frieda
ReplyDelete@ Frieda, that is exactly what I thought. Catherine is in the "mental health- team". She should have sticked to the announced timeline, sick leave until after easter. Or, if she felt it was time to put something out, it would have been a better choice to put something more authentic out, like a personal Thankyou note to all well wishers. No need at this time to put out a picture-perfect family picture. I am afraid the Waleses are not best adviced when it comes to representation in this harsh social media time of age.
DeleteIf Kate is battling mental health, wouldn't it have been an idea for her to be open about it? Being a role model using her platform for the hole world batteling the illness. after all she has mental health as one of her most important cases. And nothing of what we have seen happening the last few months in media and social media would have happened. Anne

ReplyDeleteMuch Ado About Nothing, said Mr. Shakespeare.
The Princess of Wales has simply done a collage** using
photoshop for assistance.
**Collage is an art-making technique where pieces of paper, photos, pictures and other things are arranged and stuck down onto a surface.
Sleep well dear fellow bloggers.
No , some don't get it. It is fake and not a collage or another piece of art.
DeleteAgree to anon 10.17. it' s not about a collage (love Matisse..). This was a picture, sent to news agencies, then turns out as manipulated. You see the difference?
DeleteAs I see the problem, yes many photos are photoshoped, but done by professionals ( and possibly in agreement between royals and publishers). Here it is a moment of high sensitiveness (everyone is wondering about the health of the Princess). A home modified photo was sent to professionals, publishers /news agencies and they feel cheated, particularly if the picture is not up to their standards. The question about when it was taken is puzzling and can lead to many conclusions. I think it should have stayed as it was taken. They could have taken several and just choose the best one. A lesson to learn from.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the people should have just enjoyed the photo. It must have been a very slow news day. A guess it must have been the Wales Day to be picked on. Why can't people be just satisfied with it? and go on. css

DeleteMM always MM
DeleteTo all negative comments
ReplyDeleteMy humble personal " opinion" in the name of the Freedom of Speech is:
Ho everyone, sorry but your posts don't look any better than the Princess's shot.
Your comments stem from a fabricated collage of papers' articles.
No thoughts of your own, no personal insight, no soul, just a lifeless paste and copy from the media mare magnum.
You' re being just replicas of articles written by professional journalists.
I think that whatever the pic editing , it was meant to be just a message to celebrate Mother's Day from a mother of three, no less, no more.
The pic is hers, she can do whatever she wants with it.
It was a kind gesture to mark that particular day..
Why trashing it all?
Oh, please, respect my personal OPINION.
Thank you😉
Someone didn‘t get it :(
DeleteThankyou for your wisdom
DeleteThis is just funny. First, you call other people opinions fools who can't come up with an original thought themselves, but has to share the medias. When did it become wrong to share what professional photographs tell us. Isn't fact everything? You call us trolls who probably are one person. Like there aren't
Deleteenough people in this world who could have similar thoughts. No we have to be one person. Then you have the audacity to ask us to respect your opinion. Really? After you didn't respect our opinion. Second, had this photo just been photoshopped, no one would have cared. As you say most of the world do this, but this photo is created of several photos. So everything about it is fake.You have to be blind not to see that. And defending a completely fake photo, it's pretty rich even for you considering everything you have written yourself on this blog. We can just guess what the comments had been had this been a Sussex photo after all we still see bullshit comments like Meghan isn't her kids mother. The court screwed up big time, and it's about time the told the country the truth. Is the original enough for you?
Bravo to 10.34!
DeleteTrying so to make Meghan relevant on this blogpost LOL
DeleteAnd, my dear hord of negatives supporters, I want you to know that:
ReplyDeleteI am strongly suspicious of all the Anonymous/ signed comments on the current Princess post/ pic (except for a very small number of trusted bloggers)
They all look like mirroring one another, as if one single person/ troll is repeating herself ad nauseam, which would be nothing new on this blog.
I doubt the authenticity of all of your comments.
Can you give proof of the genuinity of your individual accounts, please?
Seriously P!the original could just as well be anonymous or signed. We don't know anything more about you the the others incl myself. Before we call other people troll maybe we should scroll through our own comments? Sincerely ANNA
DeleteAgain this paranoia or whatever?
Delete„hord of negatives supporters“ is, as you know quite well, very rude. If you cannot stand comments, skip this article.
Delete@Anonymous today at 9:45
DeleteWhy do you use the ' we' again?
If you are just one blogger and not a person repeating herself ,speak Just for yourself, no?
Anyway, you can have my credentials from Helen because I have nothing to hide.
I allow you to draw your conclusions.
Of course , I use one nickname, P.the original, but just one as I do not need any other account to write on this blog.
Creating a hundred accounts repeating themselves and mirroring themselves relentlessly as well as using the same tone, points and tiresome " opinions" all the way round like you look to do, clearly gives proof of someone ( a troll) trying hard to self- support herself concocting fake identities.
And what for?
Just to stir the pot over and over again?
I find it to be a senseless way of investing one's time.
If you consider that I cannot spend all of my time on this blog like you do and that I work in the world outside, I occasionally have a very restricted amount of time to comment on this blog so my own nickname " P.the original" is more than enough to express and sign my own personal views.
Therefore, either you try to substantiate what you are saying about me or just unwind and try to focus on your own countless accounts and give valid explanations of your repeated and boring comments scattered all over this blog.
What' s the purpose of your endless replicas?
The more you act this way, the less reliable you get in the eyes of other trusted bloggers including myself.
Hope you' ll catch the point. this time.
Sorry, gotta leave now, I have to work.

DeleteI cannot believe the disgraceful behaviour that Media Outlets, Social Media + the Public have shown ever since the news was released that Princess Catherine was in Hospital. She graciously put out enough details to explain that she would be absent from the public until some time after the Easter Holidays, pending a Review by her Medical Team. She asked to have her decision to keep her Medical Details/History as Private, which is her Right-from a Legal perspective + from a Human Rights one too. Unfortunately, the vultures of the Media+Social Media Forums, failed miserably to be respectful. TV/YouTube had random Medical Workers on to speculate as to a possible diagnosis of Catherine's "Major Abdominal Surgery" with them alleging that "no Abdominal Surgery" would cause a Patient to be admitted for 10-14 days. How incorrect these so-called Experts are. I've had several Major Abdo. Surgeries in the last 7 years. The shortest stay was 15 days, the longest ended up as 11 months, but on average, the other ones were all around 25-35 days.. I think the Press was annoyed that William+Catherine were controlling the Narrative. The Press felt slighted that- they'd missed her admission to Hospital, that William managed to avoid photographers when visiting (except on 1 occassion) that they enforced there'd be no updates unless a significant matter arose. The lack of control that the Press had ignited Conspiracy Theories which morphed into horrendous bullying as the Public+Press demanded proof of life. Utterly disgraceful behaviour from adults around the world. Catherine is still recovery from Surgery + whatever Illness/Condition that precipitated the need for Surgery. No doubt, she was feeling vulnerable, pressured, from being tormented by Press etc, since early January. I feel this led to the photo for Mother's Day. As for editing, Photoshopping, the fuss over it is beyond insane. Everyone, professional, amateurs, home folk, businesses, do this in multiple ways - edit, cut+paste, alter lighting, blur a background, remove errors, erase a random photobomber, wrinkles, change a colour pic to blue image, etc. Models, Wedding Photographers, TV Shoes edit by bleeping out curse words. To claim that Catherine's broken Trust is laughable. The worse part of it all, is this is reminiscent hounding that led to Princess Diana making unsound decisions that caused her death. Surely the Press, Media + Public don't want to see Louis, Charlotte + George grieving their mother + William grieving his wife . If I was William + Catherine, I'd not release any pics of the children on their Birthdays + refrain from having them attend Royal Events. Let's see if the Press+Public enjoy their loss of not seeing three wonderfully happy loved children. I imagine Catherine's recovery will take longer due to the emotional stress this has caused. Any person who has posted the slightest negative remark over the past 3 months, should be ashamed of their childish vindictive behaviour. Wishing Princess Catherine some peace, tranquility, compassion, as she recuperates. Thankfully William is attentive, loving + loyal to her, he'll keep taking her Breakfast in Bed no doubt., in between school runs, work, checking in with his Pa. Get Well Princess Catherine. Hold your head up high when you return. Do not carry any guilt or shame, those two emotions belong in the Press, Media, Social Media, Individual Commenting people. People need to remember + embrace the wonderful positivity that Catherine has brought to the Royal Family. She has always conducted herself with mindfulness in striving to Serve. How can a small error at a time of vulnerability, undo all of the good work, the joy, the inclusivity, the empathy + compassion that she has selflessly given to us all, be annihilated over a photo. She didn't commit a crime. Not only is it a matter of God Save the King, it's also a matter of God Save Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, our Future Queen. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend, pour yourself a glas of wine..
Delete13.10, brilliant idea!
DeleteI think a bottle...S
DeleteThe PoW don't owe any of us an explanation. Maybe some people believe because she gets paid by the taxpayers, she must tell everything.? Well, look at the Politicians, we pay them too and they lie like there is no tomorrow! She is entitled to have some privacy. Maybe all the people who demand to know, should let the readers of this site know everything they do. 24/7. I wonder if they would like that.?? css
ReplyDeleteYou’re right css. They don’t owe us an explanation but they could simply shut up on news, updates rather than selling lies. No good for anyone. We would respect their privacy.

Thank you Paula. That is a good read without sensationseeking.
DeleteI think this is a very lovely pic of Kate and the kids. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteOk, there is photo shop in it, not sooo nice but also no drama.
I think it was used for optimizing the pic but not for faking something completly non-existing.
I don't know if you ever tried to take a picture with several persons? No matter how often you try.. there's almost always somebody looking strange, having closed eyes, not smiling, talking, because he/she thought it didn't start, ....
When I take pictures of my parents for example, I usually make around 20 pictures to find only one where both look nice and like themselves at the same time...
So a bit of understanding from my side and I disbelieve that they wanted to fake something, that is'nt real.
So, relax :-)
Ok, that‘s what you think. If it makes you happy looking at a faked picture…
DeleteOh I'm sorry that it seems to make you unhappy or sad or angry..
DeleteI have other things that make me unhappy. Wars. Starving people. And other things like that.
But not a picture.
By the way:
do you all know that a lot of selfie cams at smartphones optimize pictures already before you shot them? Not so round faces, bigger eyes..
At 2 Samsung mobiles I had it was already activated from the beginning with middle chamgings.it wasn't me who activated this.
So all unhappy people:
Better check your smartphone selfie cams if you are really doing real snaps...

Yeah!
It seems you' re looking for Helen' s help and seeing a ' fake' need for help on my part where none exists.
You ' re moving in a fake world of your own at all levels, great to know.
Now, are you willing to wish Kate something and apologize for your fake- based , pointless, sensation seeking and passive copy and paste from the press?
I have read somewhere else on this site that a blogger has rightlousy replied about one of your senseless comments on Q.Letizia as follows:
" Preaches are expected to be delivered in churches only" (this was the meaning).
And I entirely agree with that blogger.
Why do YOU feel the need for all this logorroic countless comments?
You alright?
I really think that it is just you who strongly need love and health.
I' ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I 'd like any of your comments on this post to be left here, none to be deleted, please.
For your shame.
😉
Bye, gotta leave now.
This is getting ironic. First WE got casgated because WE obviously was ONE person and should stop talking for others, but write I. No WE have turned into YOU. We'll since I only wrote 10:25 comment can YOU please tell me who is YOU? And why do YOU think YOU can demand anything from US. Shouldn't YOU care more about YOUR own demeaning behaviour?
Delete* logorrheic
ReplyDeleteSo now we know she has cancer. All these horrible, hateful comments about one little picture. Such ugly, nasty people!
ReplyDeleteYes, @Anonymous 19:01, I do agree with you this time.
ReplyDeleteYou see, both your and my words are absolutely useless now.
All of us should solely focus on prayers, support and positive thoughts for Catherine, her children and all the members of the BRF and try to learn a lesson from it all.
I mean the braveness and strength of this still young Princess- Catherine- in facing such hard times is what really matters.
Chattering, speculating , building up false theories sold as "truths" out of nothing concrete are all a total waste of time leading nowhere.
Our debates have led nowhere, actually.
I'd better get going now .
Bye.
I am a photographer, I work with Photoshop and other programmes all the time. Unfortunately, the picture is edited. Even fake. I guess, our beloved Princess was too ill for a good picture :( Get well soon Catherine!
