There is no scandal, just a bunch of nuts falling out of trees. The princess of wales didnothing wrong and needs to be left in peace
Who cares?! It's being made more serious then it actually is…. REAL things going on in the world.
The best solution might be to just run a disclaimer on any photo Catherine takes a line saying there were no corrections made or Yes, I have made correctioms. The next option would be for them to just no longer have any photos available.
Unsubscribed.
Could Rebecca pass this tip to Kate? 😉 https://youtube.com/shorts/FoFsWh6BzLQ?si=6-77W0eSNpWDcQpd
Yet the black and white pic of the Wales’s was taken by a professional photographer and yet that gets ripped apart too, damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Catherine is patron of many charities, I don’t think she’s expected to be an expert in every field. It’s ridiculous.
I had to quit watching today, you all angered me so much! It was a stupid photo, and suddenly you all have gone from cheering Katherine on, to bullying her and William! Let her have Some privacy please.
I bet Megains livid lol she cant get anyone to take pics of her she has to pay them and Catherine cant keep them away …
How can you possibly create such a nonsense over a photograph for the love of heaven we have war in the Middle East we have Russia and Ukraine battling there’s a lot more important things to worry about than whether or not a picture was Photoshop in anyways shape perform what stupid nonsense I’ve never heard anything so so stupid you would think the newspapers have nothing else to write about grow up all these people getting all upset over the silly pictures can just grow up that’s what they need to do
He couldn’t keep Meg and Prince Harry name out his mouth. Stick to the topic. The Wales.
It looks like Harry and Meghan will be King and Queen after all.
What is ALL the uproar about a sweet picture of the Princess of Wales taken by her husband, then they just want to make it look good, and everyone wants to send them to the Tower! And it all seems to be about people coming up with stupid conspiracy theories about her health! EVERYONE was told she would be recuperating till EASTER!!! And give William a break. He’s doing a good job for a father of three who’s looking after his wife who is recovering and is trying to do a good job. LIGHTEN UP!!! They are a young family!!! STOP-it makes you and all of GB look rediculous! Let her recover at home and leave her husband the chance to care for the kids and his wife!
Daily fail. You are so biased it’s sickening. If you are so hoity toity how come you know nothing about Kate? Yeah. Because you’re the daily fail.
This is not about AI or the photo. It's about Kate not being seen for almost 3 months.
They are Shady peopleand lie😮
I think that this mountain out of a molehill is very harmful for the health of Princess Kate… she apologized, this is so sad.
I hope the daily mail learned something from this. The pow is actually popular. There is no support for the media's outrage.
The heads that should roll are on the variou media outlets.
What a huge fuss over nothing with the wars famines and tradagies in the world for heavens sake LEAVE them alone😢❤
Omg, who cares. Everyone does that. How is this even an event. Leave her alone
People analysing this photo need to get a life
It doesn't matter what is wrong with Princess Katherine. it's her health and NOBODIES busiess. I also think that a mountain is being made out of a mole hill in regards to the picture. If they didn't want it out for distribution then perhaps that is your first clue.
Leave her alone. Let her recuperate. She does so much for the UK, it's awfully ungrateful for the people to be acting this way towards her.
Just be grateful they put up a picture at all. They didn't have to. All this nonsense will probably make them rethink sharing any photos at all. I know I eould in their place.
It's an amusing comparison to draw between an episode dedicated to conversation exclusively about a manipulated photo from the Royals, and the three professionals involved are sat in front of one of the most obvious artificial/digitally generated backdrops ever. 😁
I love your show and look forward to watching each episode. I am one of your many fans from the US.
I do not believe that William should have said anything as he only took the photo. Catherine is the one who is into photography and editing. Catherine is a strong minded person and is very capable of speaking for herself. She is not someone who needs her husband to speak for her nor would she wish for him to. She decided to speak out and admit that she was the one who tweeked the image. To fault William in anyway is ridiculous.
What is the big deal. I use PS on my photos all the time. Magazines and newspapers do it all the time. Why be a hypocrite and put down on someone else for doing it. I've seen professionals use photoshop and leave off fingers, hands, or add an extra hand, etc. If professionals fall prey why blame an amateur? It's ridiculous!
Ridiculous reaction
It’s so wonderful to see Princess Catherine and the children happy and healthy! Thank you, Prince William. Well done! ❤🎉😊
I am extremely disappointed (and thoroughly disgusted) that Daily Mail chose to jump on the bandwagon of the MEDIA HYSTERIA. To do this, particularly at a time when the King is fighting cancer and the Princess is recovering from her surgery, is DEPLORABLE! I realize everyone has an opinion, but this is a very different thing. The media is creating an unnecessary SHARK FRENZY about this to sell more papers and increase viewership. I hope it backfires on you all! It brings to mind the MANIPULATION OF THE PUBLIC portrayed in the film "Network". Well, I for one, AM MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! I feel you owe an apology to the Royal family and your viewers for joining those that chose to be bottom feeders, but as that is unlikely to happen, I have UNSUBSCRIBED!!!!!
I can't believe that the issue about the editing of a family photo is considered a major issue of trust by respected journalists, extremely disappointing. I am not surprised that this matter continues to attract such negativity. I feel I am in the middle of a Kindergarten playground.
What crisis. It’s a picture ffs. I think you all making a much bigger deal about this than needs to be. The Princess is being put through hell by harkles bots and sugars. The Commonwealth love Princess Catherine. Leave her alone and go after Harkles and the fake pregnancies and how evil they truly are.❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
Give it a rest DM
