The royal family rocked the boat big time this year, when Kate Middleton released a Mother’s Day photo. It featured the princess sitting on a chair, flanked by her three children. The pic was uploaded to Instagram, and landed in the inboxes of news editors around the world. To the untrained eye, it seemed like nothing out of the ordinary.
But within a few hours, the photo was pulled from some of the biggest news agencies on the planet. Associated Press, AFP, and Reuters, all refused to publish the photo, saying it had been altered in violation of their photography standards.

Middleton admitted she’d manipulated the image and had to say something to settle the storm. “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she wrote in a statement posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s social media accounts. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.”
Social media users didn’t skip a beat. They made the most of the situation, and there were memes for days. The amateur photoshoppers had been let loose, and they were running wild with perfectly imperfect posts.
