“Kensington Palace apologizes for that whole photoshop editing thingy and releases new photo,” someone else wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of the 1964 cast of “The Munsters.”

One fan shared an AI-generated photo of a brunette woman with two sons in Nicki Minaj’s Roblox-created fantasy world, Gag City, claiming that was the first photo of Middleton since her January abdominal surgery.

Someone else captioned a previously versus what she put on Instagram with Middleton’s full statement.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she wrote. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day.”

Breaking down Kate Middleton's Photoshop fail

• On Monday, Kensington Palace released was littered with mistakes, either from Photoshop or AI.
• The photo, the original of which Kensington Palace recalled by photo agencies over fears it had been digitally “manipulated.”
• Middleton issued an apology Monday after her photo went viral for its numerous Photoshop errors. “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she said.

• One major telltale sign of manipulation was that a portion of Charlotte’s wrist seems to be missing from under the chopped-off sleeve of her cardigan. Charlotte’s checkered skirt likewise does not line up, with the right edge sticking out at a strange right angle and overlapping with George’s hands.
• Another unusual detail that raised questions about the image’s veracity is Prince Louis’ crossed fingers on his right hand — and a seemingly fuzzy and broken pattern on the right sleeve of his gray sweater.

Middleton was spotted Monday hours after apologizing for the doctored photo tiding with William to Westminster Abbey, where the prince attended the annual Commonwealth Day service without her. The Princess looked out her window, away from the cameras — fueling even more speculation as to whether it was really her or not.

The mother of three is reportedly refusing to release the unedited photo in question despite PR experts calling on Kensington Palace to do so in an attempt to earn back the public’s trust.

“It’s plausible [Kate’s] at home playing with the computer and using an AI tool, but if they’re really going to regain any sort of trust they should release the unedited photo, it can’t be that bad if they just made a few tweaks,” PR expert Mark Borkowski told the Daily Mail.

“I find they have risen to the challenge, provided the statement as an explanation – the question is with all the conspiracy theories running around, is whether people believe it and I’m not sure that they will.”
