Another photo of the Royal Family has been revealed to be edited. 

Getty Images has revealed that a photo of the late Queen was “digitally enhanced at source”, adding an editor's note to the image. 

The Palace shared the picture on the 21st of April last year on what would have been the Queen’s 97th birthday, saying it was taken by the Princess of Wales at Balmoral in the summer of 2022.  

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking that while many people may have suspected images were being edited, it’s now been confirmed. 

While these images are relatively benign in their edits, the lack of disclosure does set a precedent. 

Grey said it may lead to things like war images being doctored to make it look better or worse than it actually is.
