A photograph of Queen Elizabeth II with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren released last year was digitally enhanced, a global picture agency has revealed.
Shared in April last year to mark the late monarch’s 97th birthday, the portrait was taken by Kate Middleton in August 2022 just weeks before the Queen’s death, reported the Daily Mail.
Although the picture has been in public for nearly a year, Getty Images placed an editor’s note on Monday stating that “the image has been digitally enhanced at source”, a Getty spokesperson told The Telegraph.
The latest thread in the photo editing furore comes as the Princess of Wales was spotted smiling and looking relaxed while on a shopping trip with her husband in the first pictures of the royal couple together since Kate’s surgery.
Kate’s recovery from abdominal surgery appears to have progressed after footage obtained by The Sun showed her and William, the Prince of Wales, at a farm shop near where they live in Windsor.
In the video the princess can be seen with her hair down, wearing a black jacket and leggings, chatting with William and carrying a large white bag.

Two Telegram channels were ‘primary source’ of fake news about King
Two Telegram channels were the “primary source” of fake news claiming that King Charles was dead, Ukraine’s Centre for Countering Disinformation has said.
The fake news of the King’s death was first shared by an account with the name ‘Open Ukraine’ at 7.02am Ukrainian time on Monday morning.
A fake document confirming the monarch’s death was then published by the TG channel ‘Uncle Slava’ at 13:47.
The centre found that those two TG channels were the primary sources spreading the fake news, which was reported by pro-Putin Russian media outlets.
‘Open Ukraine’ and ‘Uncle Slava’ are included in the centre’s list of channels for spreading Russian disinformation. There are more than 100 channels on the list.

Roya Nikkah, The Sunday Times’ royal editor, spoke toGood Morning Britain on Monday (18 March) after reporting Kate “might discuss her recovery” from her abdominal surgery in future engagements. “Having seen his mother go through quite a lot of that, the hounding of his mother, I think [Prince William] feels he’s seeing elements of that being repeated again in terms of the demands and screeches at his wife over her medical privacy,” Ms Nikkah said.
