Catherine, Princess of Wales, on Monday apologised and admitted to editing an official portrait of her released by the palace that prompted AFP and other agencies to withdraw the altered image. Her Kensington Palace office on Sunday sought to dispel rumours by distributing an official photograph said to have been taken by her husband Prince William of his wife with their three children. They included several inconsistencies such as the zip of Kate's jacket being misaligned in one place, while part of Princess Charlotte's sleeve is missing. British media outlets, often frustrated by palace stonewalling, have tended not to question official royal information, she added. Sunday's contentious photograph overshadowed the Commonwealth Day event, even without the king in attendance as he undergoes treatment for cancer.
