Meghan Markle's spokesperson suggests that the royal family is attempting to conceal Princess Kate's photo controversy.
Omid Scobie, a journalist known for his close ties to Meghan Markle, has accused the royal family of dishonesty regarding Kate Middleton's health following the Princess's photo scandal.
In a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Scobie asserted that the royal family's credibility among fans has been damaged by the altered image of Catherine, amidst growing concerns about her well-being.
He stated, "It’s reasonable to assume that most photos released by public figures’ offices undergo some level of editing, so if this were an isolated incident, it would be dismissed as a regrettable mistake."
Scobie continued, "However, given the Palace’s extensive track record of deception, cover-ups, and even issuing statements on behalf of family members without their consent (cc: Prince Harry), the public finds it increasingly challenging to trust anything they say or share, including photographs."
Concluding his tweet, Scobie suggested that King Charles and Prince William face an uphill battle in regaining the trust of their supporters.
For those unaware, an official photo of the Duchess of Cambridge, smiling alongside her three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—was released on March 10.
Interestingly, it marked Kate's first public appearance following her abdominal surgery and amid growing speculation about her health.
However, the Associated Press issued a 'Kill Notification' due to suspected 'manipulation' upon closer scrutiny of the shared photo.
Subsequently, a statement purportedly authored by Princess Kate was released on the official social media accounts of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
On March 11, the mother-of-three issued an apology, acknowledging, "I occasionally experiment with editing."
