"never complain, never explain" is really biting them.
It raises so many, frankly legitimate, questions. Why has Palace PR team flagged it up? Why aren't they making light of the fact William isn't as good with tech as he hoped? It's such an easy fix but it just damages trust in them.
Unless there are deeper questions to be asked. I'm no royalist but if the implication is that there are issues within them, as the next in line to the throne, then that impacts the UK/ commonwealth.

Because they are absolute freaks. The mrs hates doing any royal stuff because their PR department are a living nightmare. During the queens funeral, one of the royals wiped their nose with the back of their hand and with a minute she had an email saying 'you can't use any footage from 10:07:30 to 10:09:15' and it carried on like that all day. Because this country is so warped, they act like their word is law and consequently have no bedside manner at all.

Euuuurgh. Fuck that.
Ironically, my experience and understanding of the actual royals themselves is they probably don't give that much of a fuck. So it's the PR team treating them like gods.

I imagine the people who work for them are the kind of obsequious fucks you constantly see trotted out on the news.

What aspect of the photos have been doctored? Seems a non-issue. Photos get retouched for various reasons (I do it as part of my job). We live in a world where most photos are retouched. Meh.

The guardian article on the last page has a zoomed in pic of the problem area. Clearly seems to just be AI failing to stitch together multiple photos properly to get the best pic.
The bit that puzzles me is why isn't the official photographer using a proper camera. What the fuck are they even spending our money on if they're just using photos snapped on an iPhone?

I'm sure the people of Ashfield will be thrilled that they have the first Reform UK MP.
I really hope he's the last.

Is it really defecting if he's been kicked out?

Weird AI hands, obvious Photoshopping artifact, Kate not wearing any rings... it's like one of those viral posts game companies make with loads of clues for people to follow.

Is it really defecting if he's been kicked out? As many MPs will now regret saying on their media rounds, he wasn't kicked out, he was suspended. And having this whole farrago conducted through GB News is just further proof that the ministerial code needs an enema. Sunak really is the most piss weak, spineless gimp ever to take office.

I wonder how long 30p Lee will remain a Reform MP, Andrew Bridgen was a Reclaim MP for about 7 months before falling out with them so hopefully he loses his seat at a general election quicker than that.
Much like Bridgen, Anderson is such a massive twat I can't imagine most Tories are upset to see him go other than the poor optics.

The difference is that Bridgen is a loon and nobody pays him any attention. Unfortunately, there are plenty of twats out there that agree with the shit Anderson comes out with. Including from within the Tories.

By my calculation, in the last few years around 100% of the mouthy pieces of shit who have been thrown top jobs have ended up stabbing their PM in the back. Really makes you think.

Tory MPs apparently questioning Sunak's judgement in ever making him a deputy chairman, well it's obvious why Sunak did it - he's fucking shit at politics.

It’s more than that- clumsy photoshop of the wrist/sleeve for a start. She’s had a huge operation, she’s finally fed up of Williams cheating and wants a divorce, whatever. What’s interesting is how shit a PR firm they have with that sort of money to employ one.

What’s interesting is how shit aPR form they have with that sort of money to employ one. If she is divorcing him, it's probably because she's fed up of 'ye olde royal gape' winking at her when he bends over to put his pants on. 🤣

Try as I might, I can't begin to fathom why anyone would care about this.
You can't even call it a 'cult of personality', as none of the royals have personalities.

It's more the obfuscation of something trivial. The PR people will have seen it and vetted it. If they just quickly went "whoops, didn't notice" and sent out a correct pic then no harm done.

I’ve singularly failed to understand this story.
So a photo has had some touch ups? Would dare say most do these days.
I can’t see anything weird in the picture whatsoever. Would imagine the same for a vast majority of viewers.
Then the royal’s press machine issues something called a MANDATORY KILL NOTICE (drama much?), asks the likes of Reuters to delete all trace from their very servers, and a load of weirdos on social media talk about ‘something being fishy’.
What on earth is the actual story and why does it matter

I think it highlights that the Royal family are skint and will need more tax payers money to hire an official photographer and not have the future Queen create some shit photos.
