After Kate Middleton’s major Photoshop slip-up in March 2024, Getty Images decided to reevaluate some of the royal family’s photos to see if any other snaps were tailored. According to the Daily Mail, the agency had flagged Queen Elizabeth II’s photo with her grandchildren and great grandchildren which we previously addressed, but the queen’s picture wasn’t the only one brought into question by the agency. Apparently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Prince Archie’s, christening photo was temporarily flagged as “digitally enhanced” by Getty Images. It wasn’t just the family of three in the image, several other royal family members, including King Charles, Camilla, William, Kate, Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, and Princess Diana’s sisters were also in the photo.
Despite Getty Images claims, the photographer, Chris Allerton, denied that there was any major editing involved, calling the agency’s allegations “a load of cobblers,” per Daily Mail. While initial thoughts were that the photo may have been edited, Getty Images has since clarified to People that there were “no issues” with the image. Getty Images explained that several photos from the royal family were brought into question and had an “editor’s note” if there was believed to be any altering involved. However, with Meghan and Harry’s photo, they didn’t find any work done. They said, “The image in question had an editor’s note placed on it while under review and that note has now been removed with no issues found.”
