Alison Hammond, the presenter of the Great British Bake Off and ITV's This Morning, has poked fun at Kate Middleton following her photo editing admission.
Kate faced a torrent of questions and controversy earlier this week when social media users noticed editing flaws in a snap of her with her three children.
The Mother's Day snap was shared to X, formerly Twitter, while the royal continues to recover at home after undergoing abdominal surgery earlier this year.
After social media became awash with conspiracies and several picture agencies put a halt to the distribution of the photo, Kate addressed the situation.
She said in an X post days after sharing the photo: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.
"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."
Alison Hammond has taken a jibe at Kate Middleton over her photo edits
GETTY
Intense speculation and analysis of the photo has continued despite the Princess' statement - and Instagram even added an official warning to the account she shares with Prince William over the edits.
On the same platform, Hammond decided to poke fun at the ordeal the Palace is embroiled in.
She issued a thinly veiled jibe at Kate when replying to pal and comedian Rob Beckett on the image-sharing site.
Beckett had shared a screenshot of a TV listing for his new Sky show Rob Beckett's Smart TV where he poked fun at co-star Josh Widdecombe for not being included in the promo image.
"Another TV guide doing @josh_widdicombe dirty. When will it end?" Beckett penned. "@alisonhammond55 and I stand strong with you brother. This will not be tolerated.'
Among the replies to the post was Hammond who drew comparisons with the Princess of Wales' statement.
"I do occasionally experiment with editing," Hammond replied, alongside a winking and tongue-out emoji.
"You didn’t!!" one fan replied before a second commented, "Noooo", both alongside series of laughing emojis.
