Socialite Lizzie Cundy has claimed that Princess Kate was under "huge pressure" to release a snap on Mother's Day.
The Princess of Wales made headlines this week after she released a Mother's Day snap surrounded by her three children, but eagle-eyed fans noticed that the snap had been photoshopped.
The Princess of Wales later apologised for the "confusion" caused by the picture and revealed that she is an amateur photographer who was experimenting.
Speaking to Nana Akua on GBN America Cundy said: "I wish she had got me to do the photoshopping. That's my first thought. I would have done a much better job.

"Let's be honest, Nana, there's a huge percentage of us that do like a little Photoshop, me included.
"Practically everyone on Instagram does it. It's not just the Kim Kardashians in the world it's even the royals.
"I think it is a storm in a media teacup.
"Kate is under pressure to put a picture out on Mother's Day. She wanted to wish everyone well and say Happy Mother's Day herself with a lovely picture. Look at what's happened.
Princess Kate is currently recovering from her operationGetty"They should have checked the picture or sent it for me to do. I couldn't quite believe how many mistakes were in it. I think there's more than sixteen in there.
Nana said: "Poor woman, though. She was just trying. I think this is going to put Kate off amateur photography for life. You just wouldn't do it again, would you?"
Cundy said: "No, of course, she wouldn't do it again. But don't forget she's under huge pressure. We haven't seen her properly since December, since she's had that abdominal operation and everyone is really worried about her.
"She knows everyone is wanting this picture, and she's under huge pressure. You know what it's like when you've got three children, all having to smile and laugh at the same time. We know Louis is a bit of a rascal I think she just thought I'll go for the easy option, and look at what's happened."
Kate was hospitalised for 13 days earlier this yearGettyKate has a planned abdominal surgery in January and has been recovering since.
There has been a lot of speculation over her health and the Mothers Day snap was the first that royal fans have seen since the operation.
The Princess of Wales is expected to return to her royal duties after Easter.
Her husband, Prince William has taken a step back to help his wife and children but has attended a few events as well.
