Episode notes

The Princess of Wales is said to be “saddened” over the doctored photo which has engulfed the royal family in controversy.

Kate has publicly taken the blame for the manipulated image released by Kensington Palace and issued a personal apology for the “confusion”.

In this episode of the Standard podcast, we’ll examine what happened, why it’s hit the front pages and balancing privacy with transparency of the royal family’s business.

Kate underwent surgery at the London Clinic on January 16, but details of her condition have been kept private, and she is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter.
