Photo of Princess Kate sparks social media trend – Culture

Princess Kate with Bernie Sanders’ mittens or arm in arm with Taylor Swift: the failed Photoshop attempt fuels the creativity of the online community. A crazy selection.

Princess Kate’s Mother’s Day snapshot backfired – and sparked a hype on social networks. Countless montages of the Royal Family appear on X, Instagram and Co. and mock the original picture in which Kate amateurishly retouched her daughter’s arm.

The family is presented in the strangest situations under the hashtags #kategate, #katemiddleton or #katespiracy.

Meme classic reinvigorated

The template for the meme is a photo of US Senator and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. The original image was taken at Joe Biden’s inauguration – Sanders is wearing a face mask and signature mittens in the image. Instead of Sander’s head, Princess Kate becomes an iconic meme complete with gloves.

Rock star in the Royal Family

No, Kate didn’t adopt a new style and simply joined the ranks of rock musicians. Instead, music legend Ozzy Osbourne becomes the star of the royal family circle.

What belongs to whom?

How many children do William and Kate have now? If you add up all the arms and legs in this fake photo, you are guaranteed to get the right number.

Queens among themselves

Attention: Risk of confusion: In traditional royal fashion, the monarch gathers her children around her. Only Kate seems slightly different in this version.

Hollywood meets English nobility

Star line-up instead of children’s photo: This is what it would probably look like if Taylor Swift, Rowan Atkinson and Robert Downey Jr. were to announce themselves in England.

Photoshop Prince William

This is how it all could have started: Prince William realizes in despair that his Photoshop skills have reached their limits. Is he possibly responsible for the photo mess?

Animal offspring in the royal family

Dozens of four-legged friends got lost in this picture. In this way, the dilemma surrounding the retouched arm could certainly have been concealed.
