this retouched photo where she is unrecognizable is controversial

A photo that does not pass at all with the British. A few months after the death of Elizabeth II, King Charles III attended his first Remembrance Day as sovereign on Sunday, November 13, on the eve of his 74th birthday. A special day for the United Kingdom, since it is Remembrance Day, in honor of the victims of the First World War. A tradition that continues for the royal family, who attended the commemorations with great pomp. Thus, the sovereign laid the traditional poppy crown in front of the Cenotaph in the Whitehall district of London, followed by his son Prince William, as well as his sister, Princess Anne. Queen Consort Camilla watched the ceremony with emotion from the balcony of the Foreign Office, alongside Kate Middleton. And this last talk about her a lot today.

It is in spite of herself that the Princess of Wales finds herself at the heart of a controversy, after the DailyMirror, a very popular tabloid in the United Kingdom, published on its November 14 front page a heavily edited photo of Prince William’s wife. All dressed in black on the occasion of Remembrance Day, and while she paid tribute to Lady Diana by wearing her pearl earrings, Kate Middleton thus appears with her face strongly retouched, aged, with a nose that is far from his. What provoke the anger of the readers, who shout at “shame”. “Who edited the photo of the beautiful Princess of Wales?”, “what did you do in Catherine’s face”, “Why does the Princess of Wales’ face look like a photoshop of what she will look like at 65?”can we read under the tweet of the tabloid.

A relative of Elizabeth II is offended

For now, the DailyMirror did not explain this choice of photo which is not at all unanimous. Attached to her glamorous image, Kate Middleton will also not be very flattered by this one, while some Internet users have unveiled the original photo taken of the Princess of Wales during the ceremony. And the difference is somewhat striking. This further annoyed Dickie Arbiter, the former press secretary of Queen Elizabeth II who rose up in a tweet against the tabloid. “Shame what the DailyMirror did in the face of the Princess of Wales”he was thus offended, before adding, scathingly: “And note to editor: His Royal Highness did not lead the salute to the dead, she was a spectator. The King led the salute. This headline is worse than The Crown.”
