Kate Middleton apologizes for the confusion after admitting that she manipulated her reappearance photo herself. Most international agencies (Reuters, AP, Getty, AFP) stopped distributing the photo late on Sunday, citing "inconsistencies" and "signs" that it had been digitally manipulated.
The image was distributed along with a message signed by Kate Middleton herself in which she thanked "the good wishes and continued support over the last two months" The alleged manipulation has unleashed a media storm in the face of silence from Kensington Palace.
