In an interview on the Private Passions podcast on BBC Radio 3, Misan Harriman, an Oscar-nominated film director, discussed the process of editing the "joyous image." When asked about the setting of the photograph, the interviewer remarked that they weren't actually under a willow tree but lying outside in a meadow. Misan responded affirmatively, emphasizing the jubilant nature of the image and acknowledging the role of technology in its creation.
Following the circulation of Misan's comments, royal expert Angela Levin criticized Harry and Meghan's supporters as "hypocrites" for condemning Catherine's photo editing. Speaking to The Sun, the royal commentator highlighted that a tree was digitally altered in the Sussexes' photograph to enhance the backdrop, questioning the legitimacy of their criticism towards Catherine's editing practices.
