Agreed. Reuters loves Markle. Markle is connected with Clinton and Oprah big time. Hillary visited her for quite a while before the “Duchess” “escaped” back to Montecito. Oh and then conveniently gave Oprah that interview while Prince Phillip was dying.

This is part of the plan to help
markle reinvent herself., in my very humble opinion.

If you take several pictures of four people...especially if three are children...it’s hard to get one where everyone looks their best. Assuming that everyone is in the same basic position, it’s not that hard to use Photoshop to combine different photos - to pick the best face from one photo, the best hands from another, etc. The light exposure will be the same in every photo, so the images should blend well. It’s obvious that someone worked on this photo and there’s nothing nefarious about it, necessarily, but they do need to find a more skilled photo editor - the “fixes” shouldn’t be visible.

It looked like the little boy was pointing his finger. Much ado about nothing.

What is wrong?

Everybody's happy.

That's not what we've come to expect from the royals.

Well...sort of, but what it is supposed to do IS...BRING DOWN/DESTROY THE MONARCHY.

Markle will NEVER be 1) welcomed back into the UK 2) be allowed to make money off of Haz being a son of the present King 3) suddenly get starring roles in a movie or T.V. show 4) become a spokesperson for the likes of Channel, Dior, Tiffany, etc.!

Oprah has now ditched them, because of the backlash that that interview caused ALL of them!

Markle only DREAMS of being "in" with the Obamas ( she NEVER was and NEVER shall be! ), and they've NEVER had anything at all to do with those 2.

Hillary? That's long over as well; ditto Gloria Steinem, the Clooneys ( who they did NOT even ever know! ), and the Kardashians.

The loser duo is crashing and burning at everything, and there is NO "reinvention" of either of them, especially crazy MememeAgain!

My opinion but it would be blamed on the Royal Family because it would be “Here we go again” moment reminicent of Princess Diana. Too much pressure, tarnishing her image, the royals ate really messed up, etc...

Yes she’s likely on prednisone which they give in large quantities for Crohn’s disease. Abdominal surgery and 2 weeks in the hospital is something really serious. That poor girl is probably in bad shape.

Photoshopping like this - moving heads, hands, clothing, landscapes - is about impossible without leaving visual clues. It's very difficult to replicate reality. Next time, the royals should just use a real, imperfect photo.

You are correct, IMO. The Winfrey-Obama-Tyler Perry racialism complex was behind Markle at the start; but now that she has proved a loose cannon, even they are distancing themselves.

There is a lot wrong with the photo. What is extraordinary is that the claim it was killed because KP hadn’t responded to requests which they now have done

What I caught first was the tree and the grass. That doesn’t seem right for current weather in UK but Brits would know better.

There are editing mistakes all the time in published photos. They don’t get killed like this. Something is strange. Almost like KP wanted it killed.

Louis has had so many pictures with weird hand issues that people have begun to wonder if it is malformed.
KP should use professional editors while in the current situation with kate missing and no info on what is really going on.

My first thought it was taken before surgery and it’s a clapback to the fat face photo from TMZ.

She looks in fine shape in that photo so released to counter the current speculation

Kate issued an apology, saying that sometimes she does experiement with photos.

And somewhere, there is a Tweet.

Yes she has responded. This photo had a kill notice by many international agencies.

But what is so odd to me is that Hollywood ..and Markle...edit photos to an extreme and the don’t get killed for manipulation

people are posting what trees look like in UK right now. However, I will say that trees and grass might look a little different on a Crown property. Better care, etc.

So to combat the PR nightmare that is getting worse by the day they photograph Kate Middleton but it is the back of her head.

KP refuses to publish the unaltered photo for Mothers Day and now wont have her face pictured.

I suspect that she is going through some real trauma. Most likely doesn't look like her normal self..and doesnt want those pictures plastered all over the world. The Queen did not like her sister pictured in that wheel chair and made sure it was avoided with her even in her dying days.

Note to the HoW: It might already be too late, but here’s some free advice...

If you can’t or won’t tell the truth, don’t lie.
