In a series of press interactions, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed inquiries regarding the digital alteration of photos of President Biden, firmly stating, "That's what we don't do here." The questions arose amid a controversy involving Britain's Princess Kate, who recently apologized for an edited photo and admitted, "I do occasionally experiment with editing." Jean-Pierre appeared bemused when asked to compare the White House's policies with those of the British monarchy, emphasizing that photo alteration is "not something that we do here." She also noted, "I have not spoken to the president about Kate Middleton," highlighting the administration's focus on its own protocols.
