Several international news agencies, including The Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and Agence France-Presse (AFP), have withdrawn a photograph of Catherine, Princess of Wales, and her children from distribution amid concerns that the image was manipulated at the source. The photo, released by Kensington Palace and intended to mark Mother's Day and showcase the Princess's recovery from abdominal surgery, was quickly retracted by these agencies, with AP issuing a kill order. The AP specifically cited that the image did not meet their photo standards due to apparent manipulation. Kensington Palace has yet to comment on the allegations surrounding the photo's authenticity. This incident has sparked a significant response, with major news outlets reporting on the withdrawal and the concerns over the image's manipulation. This was the first official photo of the Princess since she underwent abdominal surgery in January.
