The British press assures that the commotion caused by the retouched photo of Kate Middleton has left the princess in shock. The Daily Mail claims to have spoken with sources close to the British royal family who say that both Kate and her team are shocked by the social uproar that has aroused.
Sources consulted by the Daily Mail highlight that the princess was the first to recognize her mistake and apologize. Due to suspicions that the photo was not original, most international agencies stopped distributing it to their clients, citing "inconsistencies" and signs" that it had been digitally manipulated.
