Harriman’s response was in regards to reports that the photographer had altered this specific photo, particularly the trees and landscape around the royal couple. On Instagram, in addition to proving the reports wrong with the original photo, he posted a video message where he said, "To see an article saying, as fact, that I did what I did not do is extraordinary to me. And then to try to merge it with this current news cycle of what's happening is tragic to see.”
This is clearly in reference to the picture “controversy” that began earlier this week, when Princess Catherine shared a never-before-seen photo of herself and her three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5. When royal fans pointed out that the photo was edited from its original version, the Princess of Wales issued an apology.
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she wrote in a now-expired Instagram Story. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”
Let’s leave the Duke and Duchess of Sussex alone, shall we?
