CNN’s Max Foster on Kate Middleton’s Edited Photo: ‘There’s a Big Trust Issue There Now’

‘There‘s been huge amounts of speculation about a cover-up at the palace’

EXCERPT:

FOSTER: “Well, there’s a big team around them. Certainly, the narrative is that this was a social post that she put up to reflect a happy day and she went a bit far with the editing. And, clearly, she wasn’t very good at it. We’ll have to wait to see what actually happened behind the scenes. But the other side of this is that this picture was also sent out as a press release effectively to the media to use for editorial purposes. They weren’t transparent about the fact that it had been edited. So there’s a big trust issue there now. And they’ve also got this issue — for weeks now, there’s been huge amounts of speculation about a cover-up of the palace. We haven’t given it much credence because it’s not based on anything, but now we have to look at those conspiracy theories and consider them because this — we’re not being given the original photo. We don’t know what was in the original photo, but it does smack of cover-up for a lot of people.”
