However, the Princess of Wales then posted an apology on her official X (earlier Twitter) account, stating that she often experiments with editing.
“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”
