Edited photos of royal kids

What’s the big deal. As a photographer, I think every photograph I’ve ever shared has been “edited” to some degree.

Can't read the NYT piece, it's behind a paywall.

I did read this piece in the Atlantic earlier today. Talks about what's behind the brouhaha.

For the life of me I don’t see the big deal.

It’s because Kate has been out of the pubic eye since “planned abdominal surger” in late December or January, and they said she would be off royal duties until after Easter, and hasnt been seen in public except for a few grainy photos in a car that don’t really look like her and the crazy theories abound about her health - and then they post a photo (not recent) of her that has been altered, so now the internet is losing its mind. Or something like that.

Exactly.

Edit-- Sorry to be unclear, replying to the OP.

The AP also asked for the original photograph, which the Palace did not provide, even after Kate put out a statement that, like most people, she was just playing around with photo editing software.

It’s extraordinarily unusual for the AP to issue a kill notice. Something weird is going on.

Short video of an AP photo editor talking about why AP does not use manipulated photos, and how they will pull them if they find out they have been tinkered with.

Gives one a bit of confidence that AP does its best to ensure that the images we see are real.

The WaPo Opinion posted by Bernard is very good.

Yes, the Royals are public figures.
Yes, they deserve a bit of judgement free time.

This is pretty good article about how the palace has made mistakes with the PR on this (the caption above the Mother’s Day photo reads “do not feed amphetamines to the Dragon you are hoping will fall asleep”)
