The Danish Royal Family are currently caught up in a photo editing row a month after Princess Kate issued an apology.
Royal watchers have accused Queen Mary and King Frederik of Denmark of photoshopping their first official royal portrait, weeks after the Princess of Wales was criticised for "editing" her Mother's Day picture.
The royal couple's official picture was released on Friday and featured the Australian-born Queen standing alongside the King.
Queen Mary wore a deep green velvet and lace gown designed by Birgit Hallstein, along with the Danish Emerald Parure.

Many praised the photo's "beauty", but also questioned whether it had been manipulated.
Some claimed the couple "obviously" took single portraits and Photoshopped them together.
One person commented on the picture: "Beautiful photo, but another digitally enhanced royal photo."
Another wrote: "Was this photoshopped? I mean it looks like they were photographed separately then put together?

"Mary looks exquisite and Frederik, well the King looks like he just rolled out of bed."
A third posted: "Terrible translation. So stiff and awkward. AI."
Others pointed out the placement of Queen Mary's hand in front of King Frederik's, claiming it looked out of place.
They said: "It looks like Queen Mary has been put into the photo of Fred. The hand position is identical."
