A portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II with her 10 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, taken by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, in 2022, has been found to be digitally manipulated. The picture agency Getty Images revealed that the photo, released by the royal family, had been edited multiple times. This incident marks the second time in less than two weeks that a global photo agency has issued an editing notice on a royal family photo shared by Kate. The controversy, dubbed '#KateGate', has raised questions about the extent of digital manipulation involved in official royal photographs.
