Meghan Markle will not be upset as the Palace faces questions over a photo of Princess Kate, according to Angela Levin.
Kensington Palace is under pressure to clarify whether the first picture of the Princess to be released after her surgery has been digitally altered.
The image of Kate, who was seen beaming alongside her children, was posted onto social media.
The picture was withdrawn by international picture agencies later the same day because of concerns that the image had been manipulated.

“If she is going to see that they are being attacked or criticised, I don’t think she will be very upset.”
The picture shows Kate sitting in a chair with her arms around Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who are on either side of her, with Prince George standing behind, as all four smile at the camera.
But there was speculation that edits had been made to the left sleeve of Princess Charlotte’s cardigan, and other areas of the picture also raised concerns about possible manipulation.
In the social media post, Kate thanked the public “for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months”.
The photo of the Princess if the first released since she was admitted to the London Clinic for a planned operation on January 16.
It came after months of speculation of her whereabouts, which will no doubt be sparked again amid fears of image manipulation.
