The metadata extracted from a controversial Mother’s Day photo of Kate Middleton reveals that the image underwent at least two rounds of editing before its release. The encoded information within the royal photograph discloses two timestamps: the first timestamp indicates editing at 9:54 p.m. on Friday, March 8, and the second timestamp shows further editing at 9:39 a.m. on Saturday, March 9.
These timestamps align with Middleton’s recent acknowledgment that the photo was indeed altered. However, the timestamps do not clarify whether the photo was captured recently, as initially claimed by the royal family upon its publication on Sunday. The photo was released in response to swirling rumors concerning Middleton’s health, following her abdominal surgery in January and her absence from public view since December.
The editing discrepancies within the photo only served to intensify conspiracy theories, with speculations suggesting that the image may have been edited from an older photoshoot or compiled from various sources. Concerns arose that Middleton’s condition may be more serious than publicly known, with insiders expressing unease over the situation.
Metadata analysis conducted by SkyNews on Middleton’s photo revealed that it was taken using an “EF50mm” lens attached to a Canon SLR-style camera. The edits were executed using Adobe Photoshop, a widely-used editing software in the industry. The metadata does not disclose the identity of the editor or the original date of the photo capture, but it does indicate that the edits were performed on an Apple computer.
Following the admission of editing, supporters of the royal family have called for the release of the unaltered original photo. However, the family has not yet complied with this request.
