Internet claims Kate Middleton’s Windsor car images were photoshopped
“Princess Kate Middleton found in car looks nothing like her…” some users claimed on x (formerly Twitter). Many are wondering, since the photo was taken from someone’s phone, why none of the photos capture the princess’s entire face, and why only William’s face is clearly visible in each photo. Things didn’t stop there. Eagle-eyed royal followers also raised questions about the color of the bricks, which somehow didn’t seem to match the color of the bricks outside the car.
The car she was photographed in was also surrounded by questions such as: “The car in yesterday’s photo of Catherine, Princess of Wales (also known as Kate Middleton) has 6 wheels, 2 of which appear to be jumbled up, which is strange. “
“No one noticed the latest photo of #KateMiddleton in the car…the bricks in the car window don’t seem to match the bricks outside the car…is this another photoshopped photo?” one X user wrote Monday after the photo went viral.

I would like to apologize for any confusion caused by the family photos we shared yesterday,” she wrote on X, the official account of the Prince and Princess of Wales. “I hope every Mother’s Day you celebrate is a very happy one.
