Kate Middleton photo withdrawn from news agencies amid claims it's been manipulated

A photo of the Princess of Wales has been withdrawn by news agencies AP (Associated Press) and Reuters amid speculation it has been edited.

The photo of Kate Middleton posing with her three children was released officially in the UK on Sunday (local time) amid speculation about her health following surgery last month.

In a 'kill notification' to clients, AP stated: "At closer inspection it appears the source has manipulated the image. No replacement photo will be sent."

"Please remove it from all platforms, including social, where it may still be visible."

The photograph was said to have been taken by her husband Prince William and showed Kate with Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte.

"Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months," Kate wrote in a message on X. "Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day."

Despite the news agencies removing the image, it remains published on the official Kensington Palace Twitter account.
