The Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse all released kill notifications to media outlets over the photo — released by Kensington Palace on Sunday — announcing that they would no longer be distributing the image.
The AP wrote, “it appears that the source has manipulated the image.” AFP cited an “editorial issue,” while Reuters said the photo was withdrawn after a “post-publication review.”
Following its release, social media was abuzz with sleuths questioning whether the photo was photoshopped or AI-generated. Many were focused on the cuff of Princess Charlotte’s pink cardigan, which appears to disappear in the photo.
Other users pointed out that Middleton was not wearing her wedding ring.
“no rings, kids all have their fingers crossed, weird blurring on charlotte’s cuffs, leaves on the trees despite it being early mach - i’m sorry but they’re just asking for us to go full katespiracy at this point,” one user on X wrote.
I’ve seen Dune 2, this is just him telling the housekeeper to bring more biscuits.
the voice BRING ME MORE TEA
I’m going to be the pedantic person I guess.
The voice isn’t really the same as the force, making people do something. It’s a kind of emotional manipulation. The Bene Gesserit are highly in tune with emotions, and they have learned to examine people and say things in a way that they can’t refuse. Jessica (and Paul to an extent) in the movie just have magic powers it seems, but the others it’s more clear what’s going on. Like when Paul is doing his speech to turn the Fremen into his followers, he’s reading them emotionally and manipulating them. (Paul is also a Mentat in the books, so he’s really good with logic too and that plays a role as well.)
Sorry to be the book person. I hope this was interesting enough to justify ruining the joke.
