3月10日，王储威廉与凯特的社交媒体X账号分享了一张凯特和3个孩子的合影，这张照片据称由威廉拍摄。凯特此前接受了“腹部手术”，这是凯特在接受手术后的第一张官方照片。
The highly anticipated first official photograph of the Princess of Wales taken since her abdominal surgery in January was released on Sunday to mark Mother's Day in Britain; however, it has inspired a wave of fresh royal controversy.
美联社、路透社等媒体在报道中使用该照片后决定将其撤回，原因是认为照片疑似“被编辑”。
The Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse all released kill notifications to media outlets over the photo — released by Kensington Palace on Sunday — announcing that they would no longer be distributing the image because they believe the photo has been manipulated.
道歉声明写道，“和许多业余摄影师一样，我偶尔也会尝试编辑图片。我想为昨天我们分享的家庭照片引起的任何困惑表示歉意。我希望每个人都度过了一个非常快乐的母亲节。”
Like many amateur photographers, l do occasionally experiment with editing. l wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. l hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day.
照片中，42岁的凯特坐在藤编的椅子上冲着镜头微笑，看起来身体恢复得非常好。三个孩子（乔治王子、夏洛特公主和路易王子）围绕在她的身边，以展现温馨美好的氛围。
The photograph showed Kate, or Catherine, as she is formally known, posing and smiling with she and her husband Prince William's three children, 10-year-old George, 8-year-old Charlotte and 5-year-old Louis.
这张照片发布在威廉王子和凯特王妃的社交平台账户上，并附有一条来自凯特王妃的消息：“感谢你们过去两个月的善意祝福和持续支持。祝大家母亲节快乐。”
The image gave photography credit to William and was posted early Sunday morning on the official social media accounts belonging to the royal couple.
报道称，作为英国王室成员，威廉王子和凯特王妃发布自己在特殊家庭场合的照片已成为惯例，通常这些照片是由凯特王妃拍摄的，并发给媒体，还附有如何使用它们的说明。
这张于英国母亲节发布的照片出现在包括英国广播公司（BBC）在内的多家英国全国性报纸和网站的头版上，并在电视新闻公告中使用。
然而，网友却在这张照片中发现了众多端倪。
照片的细节显示出一系列视觉不一致的地方，在图像的几个区域中，袖子或拉链等细节没有对齐，或者有人造图案。
The details of the photo show a range of visual inconsistencies suggesting it was doctored. In several areas of the image, details like a sleeve or a zipper don’t line up, or have artificial patterns.
最明显的就是的夏洛特的袖口，明显缺了一块。
还有夏洛特的头发也不对劲，两侧长度不一，图片左侧那部分还好像突然被截断一般：
以及她的裙边，多出了一角：
3月10日晚些时候，作为发布这张照片的众多国际机构之一，美联社（AP）发布了“删除通知”以撤回这张照片。
“在仔细检查后发现，消息来源似乎对图像进行了处理。（美联社）不会发送替换照片。”美联社在“删除通知”中写道。
The AP wrote, "It appears that the source has manipulated the image." AFP cited an "editorial issue," while Reuters said the photo was withdrawn after a "post-publication review."
路透社则表示，袖子没有正确对齐，这表明照片被篡改了。机构无法立即确定是如何、为什么或由谁进行了修改。“经过发布后审查”，它也撤回了该图片。
Reuters said the sleeve did not line up properly, suggesting the image had been altered. It said the agency could not immediately determine how, why, or by whom the alteration was made.
随后法新社与盖蒂图片社也撤回了这张照片。
英国新闻联合社（PA Media）表示，英国王室定期通过该通讯社发布官方信息，包括向BBC发布信息，而该通讯社表示并没有在其服务中删除这张照片，但是英国新闻联合社的一位发言人表示，该机构正在寻求肯辛顿宫就有关修图重制的担忧做出紧急澄清。
报道称，大多数新闻机构都遵循自己关于使用经过处理的照片的严格准则，只有在附有图像已从原始图像更改的解释时才使用它们。举例而言，美联社等新闻机构向客户承诺，他们的照片是准确的且未经数字处理，美联社的规则只允许在某些情况下进行“微小调整”，包括去除相机传感器上的灰尘。
截至目前，英国王室尚未对撤照一事作出回应。
Most photo agencies and news organizations have stringent rules against publishing images that have been overly edited or manipulated. Reuters, for example, says it only allows the use of Photoshop in “very limited” ways such as cropping or resizing images, or balancing their color.
据《环球时报》报道，在1月17日的手术后，现年42岁的凯特王妃在伦敦市中心摄政公园附近的伦敦诊所（The London Clinic）住院13晚。
肯辛顿宫1月份曾表示，42岁的王妃在3月底复活节之前不太可能重返公职。白金汉宫没有透露她手术的具体情况，但表示手术非常成功，病情与癌症无关，凯特王妃出院后需要在温莎家中进行长时间的休养。凯特王妃最后一次公开露面是在2023年的圣诞节。
Kensington Palace had said in January that the princess, 42, is unlikely to return to public duties until Easter at the end of March. The palace did not reveal what her surgery was for, but said that it was noncancerous.
凯特王妃长期从公众视线中消失引发了网上和国际媒体的大量谣言。3月初，一张凯特乘坐她母亲驾驶的汽车的照片出现后，谣言略有平息。照片中，她戴着墨镜，坐在副驾驶座上。
Her long disappearance from the public eye sparked furious rumors online and international media coverage. Some of this died down somewhat after a photograph emerged in early March of Kate in a car driven by her mother; she was seen wearing dark sunglasses and sitting in the front passenger seat.
