Come on, people behave. It's just a badly edited picture.

What the hell is going on with the press and the Royal Family?

After the hullabaloo over photo gate which involved a very badly edited photo by Princess Catherine. Poor woman. The press went to town on her.


Admittedly, it was full of obvious errors to the trained eye, but so what? For anyone who missed it, where have you been?

On Mother's Day last Sunday, Princess Catherine issued what many thought was a heartfelt picture of her family. It was lovely. In attempting to practice her amateur photoshopping skills, she has caused uproar and uproar. It was enough to put anyone off photography for good.

The picture was apparently taken by William and was meant to signify a happy Mother's Day to one and all, designed to quell the rumours.

After all, we hadn't seen Catherine around for a while since the surgery, and this was meant to show that the Queen in waiting was a okay.

Now I can't really explain why the press this week was so curious, but the fascination has led to some people suggesting some sort of constitutional crisis. Come on, people behave. It's just a badly edited picture.

Just because Princess Charlotte didn't match her sleeve and her hair ended abruptly, or Louis' jumper didn't line up and his right hand was blurred.

Catherine had a wonky zip and an out-of-focus hand and three airbrushed individual has. Her wedding ring was even missing. The background was dodgy. The only person who escaped Catherine's enthusiasm was Prince George.

But just because of all of that and more, how have these people come up with the idea that there's some sort of constitutional crisis going on? Bless her heart. Poor Catherine, why should she ever want to try again?

This reaction would put any aspiring student off photography for life. Frankly, I couldn't work out what all the fuss was about.

In the meantime, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, on the fourth anniversary of her so-called freedom fight, and just before the tribute to Diana, has launched her new lifestyle brand.

Honestly, you couldn't make this up. We got to see a glimpse of her product empire four years to the day they flew to Canada in 2020 for privacy. It feels like longer.

Apparently products will include cookbooks, tableware, various butters and jams, placeholders not using special precious metals. Of course, all the useful, essential stuff. Seriously. Most of us are fighting to stay afloat.

The release date for all this rubbish overshadowed an award ceremony held in the name of the Princess of Wales. So... Meghan's back.
