Another day, another photoshop scandal. For the British monarchy, images are everything, as revealed in Spare, Prince Harry‘s memoir. Mastering the art of image upkeep is crucial for the royal family and has been ever since Queen Elizabeth’s coronation was aired live. Being camera-ready is a non-negotiable part of duties. But currently, the royal family is facing intense scrutiny for alleged photo alterations, a practice rumored to have begun with King Henry VIII. And now, little Prince Archie finds himself in the mess too.

A throwback picture featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie, and the royal clan has recently resurfaced online, along with accusations of photoshopping.

Prince Archie enters the photoshop controversy of the royal family 

Soon after Kate Middleton confessed to editing a Mother’s Day family photo, both experts and fans scrutinized all previous images released by Kensington Palace for potential manipulation. Now, another photograph, captured by fashion photographer Chris Allerton at Archie’s christening on July 6, 2019, has come under fire for photoshopping. As reported by Daily Mail, Getty, the global picture agency said it was “digitally enhanced“, even though they had no reason to do so since the picture had no discrepancies.

The photograph featured the two-month-old Prince Archie alongside Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Middleton, Markle’s mother Doria Ragland, and Princess Diana’s sisters. Chris Allerton, the photographer, denied any manipulation of the image, just saying “load of cob**ers. Bye”, as per Daily Mail. The photoshop rumors have negatively impacted the image of the royals and Kate Middleton alike, causing concern even for an estranged royal, Prince Harry.

A recent source revealed Prince Harry’s response to the entire Kate Middleton controversy and whether he believes there is any truth to the theories.

Prince Harry and Kate Middleton’s relationship has endured many challenges. Despite their differences, they have both managed to maintain mutual respect even while being thousands of miles apart. According to a source speaking to Page Six, Prince Harry is feeling unsettled about the scrutiny surrounding Middleton. He has been “distracted” by the chatter about her alleged mysterious disappearance.

Prince Harry, however, firmly believes that “any hint of scandal is untrue“. Meghan Markle, on the other hand, has opted to remain silent on the matter. However, with their beloved son now in the controversy as well, fans can anticipate a response from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
