The British royal family is once again making headlines as they navigate through a series of challenges. King Charles is currently undergoing cancer treatment, while Queen Camilla recently took a brief break from her royal duties. However, the biggest blow comes in the form of a Photoshop scandal surrounding Kate Middleton, which has received a new update on March 11.

Recently, British news outlets The Sun and The Daily Mail published an image of Middleton alongside Prince William in a car on their way to the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey. The photo caused fresh allegations of Photoshop manipulation, as observers noted that the bricks seen in the image did not match. Additionally, questions were raised about Middleton's hairstyle and accessory choice, which appeared eerily similar to an older photograph of her at a different event.

Goff Photos, the company responsible for capturing and distributing the controversial image, has denied any alteration to the photo. They claim that the picture was only cropped and lightened, asserting that nothing was doctored.

This new statement from Goff Photos follows the release of another photo that sparked the initial Photoshop controversy. The image featured Middleton with her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, on Mother's Day. Fans noticed inconsistencies with the image, particularly with Charlotte's cardigan and skirt, as well as Middleton's hair.

After the image was flagged for appearing manipulated by official outlets like The Associated Press and Reuters, Middleton took responsibility for the mishap. In an apology posted on X on March 11, she attributed the discrepancies to her own amateur photography and editing skills.

"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused," wrote Middleton in her apology. "I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day."

As the Photoshop scandal surrounding Kate Middleton continues to generate controversy, the royal family remains under fire. Fans and critics alike are closely watching as the events unfold, questioning the authenticity of the images and calling for transparency.
