Nothing to see here.
Photographer Chris Allerton denied editing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Prince Archie’s christening portrait, telling the Daily Mail Tuesday that the assertion is a “load of cobblers.”
While the British newspaper reported Tuesday that Getty Images had labeled the July 2019 shot “digitally enhanced,” the photo agency clarified to Page Six that there were ultimately “no issues found” with the snap.
“The image in question had an editor’s note placed on it while under review, and that note has now been removed,” a spokesperson told us Wednesday.
The family photo featured Harry, 39, Markle, 42, and their baby boy on a couch surrounded by Kate Middleton, Prince William, King Charles III, Queen Camilla and Doria Ragland.
On Tuesday, Getty did examine a photo Middleton took of Queen Elizabeth II with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in April 2022, declaring that one manipulated.
The photo agency began revisiting the royal family’s photos after Middleton’s Mother’s Day snafu went viral on March 10.
After the Princess of Wales, 42, shared a photo with her and William’s three children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 — on Sunday, eagle-eyed fans pointed out possible edits.
Social media users called out Middleton’s mismatched zipper, her youngest son’s blurry hand and more discrepancies.
Middleton copped to the Photoshop, writing in a statement that she does “occasionally experiment with editing” and apologizing for “any confusion.”
Notably, the mother-of-three underwent abdominal surgery in January and has been out of the spotlight since the previous month.
When she and William were photographed at a local farm stand in Windsor over the weekend, the palace reportedly hoped the couple’s outing would “put an end to” conspiracy theories surrounding her absence.
However, many social media users — including Bravo’s Andy Cohen — believe “that ain’t Kate.”
Middleton, who is expected to return to the public eye after Easter, was absent from William’s first official work commitment since her procedure.
The Prince of Wales was photographed at Millennium Gallery in northern England on Tuesday and spoke fondly of his wife.
