During a press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if the White House would digitally manipulate a photo of the President and other US officials. Her response sparked some laughter in the room. "Edit a picture digitally? No, that's not to my knowledge. Were we really going to do that? Are we discussing the current events in the United Kingdom? Jean-Pierre made a joke. She clarified further. No, it is not what we do in this place."
The incident prompted several news agencies to retract the photo amid concerns of digital tampering. This scandal surrounding Kate's edited family snapshot adds another layer to the complex relationship between the media and the British royal family. In response, CNN announced it would review all images issued by Buckingham Palace and the Royal Family in light of the uproar surrounding Princess Kate's photo.
