The British tabloid published a (very) badly “photoshopped” picture of the Princess of Wales in one of its editions on Monday, November 14. Editorial bias was met with widespread outrage. And even raised a conspiracy theory.
Shocking. Across the channel, the front page DailyMirror conversations In its Monday, November 14 issue, the British tabloid chose a crudely retouched photo of Kate Middleton’s Memorial Day. Marked wrinkles, sunken features, gray hair… The Princess of Wales has taken a lot of time and looks almost unrecognizable. So much so that it looks like an aging filter has been applied to it.
“It’s a shame what DailyMirror did on behalf of the Princess of Wales,” offended in a tweet Dickie Arbiter, former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II. Then to correct the information from the tabloid. “And note the editor. His Royal Highness did not salute the dead, he was a spectator. The king led the salute – this title is worse than The crown“.
“Indecent Newspaper”
Netizens on social media were not disappointed with its coverage DailyMirror which they consider “disrespectful” and “disgusting”. “They should definitely apologize for this incident. Either the photographer needs a little training, or it’s the editor. connects the user. No wonder people don’t buy their newspaper.” Someone else asks “Why is this horrible aging Photoshop work on the Princess of Wales? It is so mean and disrespectful to him on this solemn day when he is doing his duty and honoring the fallen heroes of the war.” “Disgusting, disrespectful and degrading to Princess Catherine…more evidence of how despicable this diary is.” split another twitter user.

“In the Pay of the Sussexes”
Some go even further to suggest that this unsuccessful retouching of Kate Middleton is not due to chance. And for good reason DailyMirror would work for the Sussexes. “Posting a nasty photoshop like the Princess of Wales and ignoring the Queen shows you are under the influence or in the pay of the Sussex couple. You picked the losers,” we can still read in a tweet. At any rate, it seems DailyMirror should update their photo editing software.
