Kate image withdrawn by three news agencies amid 'manipulation' concerns

There’s stuff doing the rounds on twitter from a investigative journalist that’s pretty dark. This image stuff is adding fuel to that fire.

I'm hungover on a Sunday, got a link?

Don't leave us hanging. Which journalist?

The intersection of Kate's head and her son's chin looks suspect to me, and there is no wedding ring to be seen. All very strange.

I’m not much of a royal watcher but I do find this story fascinating. I suspect the reality is going to end up being boring: people at the palace (or William himself given he apparently took the photo) are a combination of arrogant and insecure enough that they took a perfectly good but not quite perfect photo and felt like they had to edit it until it looked exactly like they decided it should. But we’ll see.

There was a story a few weeks ago about some odd picture taken, and it turned out to be motion blur compensation / HDR / some other computational method creating artifacts. That’s my first instinct looking at this pic, but who knows!
