After seeing that TikTok explaining that the pic was probably from November 2023 (the same day Kate and the kids attended an event at a baby bank) and that the photo shopping included changing some colors on everyone's outfits to obscure the fact that it was from the same day, I think that the real problem here is not that the photo was retouched but that it was manipulated to make it appear to be a new photo, and was posted with a "2024" caption, and this was viewed as intentionally misleading, which is why the news agencies pulled it.
It also explains why the most glaring Photoshop errors are where they are. The area around Charlotte's waist looks weird because they altered her skirt to make it plaid. The area around Kate's neck looks weird because they altered her sweater to make it black.
So if the palace released an unedited photo, it would make it very obvious that the clothing was changed to throw people off the fact that it was a photo from 4 months ago, when they were trying to pass it off as a current photo to quell rumors about Kate's whereabouts and well being.
I don't even care that they used an old photo, btw, nor do I think anyone is an owed a current "proof of life" photo. But I do find it weird and concerning that the palace apparently felt compelled to provide a current photo and was unable to do so, so instead posted an old photo and doctored it to try and make it look more recent. Why??
