A PR expert has proposed a strategic maneuver to Princess Katherine and Prince William, who wish to move on from the controversy surrounding the editing of the Mother’s Day photo and quash the cruel rumors circulating on social media. Forever the family photograph released on Sunday to reassure the public amidst escalating conspiracy theories online regarding Cath’s health in recent weeks has unfortunately done little to quell the storm on social media. The only viable solution, according to the PR expert, is transparency.
The failure to offer clarification has allowed rumors to proliferate unchecked. So Princess Katherine and Prince William should directly address the situation, perhaps through a video message expressing gratitude for the well-wishes. While she need not disclose the specifics of her health issues, her speaking directly would lend authenticity to her message. As interest in the princess grows, it’s crucial to address these concerns promptly.
Public relations and crisis consultant Mark Borowski backed this up, saying, “It’s plausible she’s at home playing with the computer and using an AI tool, but if they’re really going to regain any sort of trust, they should release the unedited photo. It can’t be that bad if they just made a few tweaks.” Public engagements may be on hold during her recovery; a video appearance could be instrumental in dispelling rumors once and for all. However, I think that I disagree.
This is all nonsense. No reason for Kate to apologize; she has done nothing wrong. I’m just glad to have seen a photo of them all smiling, edited or not. It’s a Mother’s Day photo; why should the princess do that, let alone apologize just for editing a sentimental photo taken by the future king? If they manipulated a photograph to make it appear that the princess was well and enjoying time with her children, good for them. Much better to embarrass the numpties that thought it was a good idea to pick on William and Catherine, who were just doing what ordinary people have been doing for years. What on Earth has happened to society today?
It truly begs belief. Hold your ground, Catherine; you do a great job. Hope you are back on the front line soon. While royal author Robert Jobson has spoken out against the ongoing online saga, as he told top TV, “The internet has got some pretty wicked trolls out there and people who are writing quite appalling things that would not even be said in the pub.” Jobson claimed that picture agencies regularly distributed images that had been altered or edited and expressed their firm belief that to kill Catherine’s photograph was double standards. “How different is it between the Princess of Wales and family photo and retouch pictures of celebs that appear unchallenged?” he added.
“That portraits of senior royals and leading politicians had been edited for centuries in different mediums, why no fuss about so-called celebrities’ constant photo manipulation?” While Katherine is known to be a keen amateur photographer and often releases more informal shots of her children to mark events like their birthdays, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day, in a statement shared on Monday, the princess said, “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.” She continued, “See again, I think the people around home are very supportive to us, and those are the people who really matter to us, our close friends and close family. I think if they feel you are doing the right thing, you can only be true to yourself, and you sort of have to ignore a lot of what’s said, obviously take it on board, but you have to be yourself really, and that’s how I have stuck by it.”
