Prince William has found himself embroiled in controversy following allegations on social media that he let his wife, Kate Middleton, bear the brunt of a recent Photoshop scandal.
The scandal erupted on Mother's Day, March 10, 2024, when Kensington Palace posted a manipulated photo of the Princess of Wales with her children on social media. CNN reported that potential manipulation was evident, particularly in Princess Charlotte's sleeve cuff and the unaligned zipper of Kate's jacket.
However, on March 11, 2024, Catherine issued an apology to X for the confusion and said that she "occasionally experimented with editing." This statement sparked outrage among the netizens, suggesting that Prince William made his wife take all the blame. One X user, reacting to the statement, tweeted:
"William did not hesitate to throw his wife under the Bus!"
The Prince of Wales has not addressed the scandal controversy and has not yet responded to the ongoing allegations by netizens on X.
