Princess Kate hit headlines with her manipulated family photo

The American public currently has a laser focus on Princess Kate with less attention being afforded to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, according to showbiz commentator Asia Grace.

She spoke to Nana Akua on GBN America about the popularity of the royals in the US, saying Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done little more than what is expected of them in recent weeks.


Instead, the public are interested in the activities of Princess Kate, who recently broke her silence after her abdominal surgery with a doctored image.

“Right now, a lot of the attention is on Princess Kate”, she said.

“So much is going on with her and the household right now.

“Harry and Meghan recently did some sightseeing and some person to person mights with the people of Texas.

“As you all may know, we had a school shooting there several years ago and it’s left a massive impact. Right now, they’re doing what you kind of expect upper levels to do.”

Kate publicly took the blame for a manipulated family photograph released by Kensington Palace.

Prior to the apology, international photo agencies had withdrawn the photo amid fears it had been manipulated.

Kate said sorry with a statement on social media which read: “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.

“I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.

“I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”

Royal sources said the Princess of Wales made “minor adjustments” and that Kate and the Prince of Wales wanted to offer an informal picture of the family together for Mother’s Day.

The source added: “The Wales family spent Mother’s Day together and had a wonderful day.”

Kate was later spotted leaving Windsor in a car with William as he was driven to the Commonwealth Day service in London.

The princess was not attending the service, but was understood to have a private appointment.

Despite calls for the original to be published, Kensington Palace said it would not be reissuing the unedited photograph of Kate and her children.
