Kate Middleton Forced To Change This Tradition Ahead Of Princess Charlotte’s 9th Birthday

The Waleses are changing a lot of things to adapt to the amount of scrutiny on their private lives, as well as protect their children’s privacy.

Following the insane rumors and controversies spurn by the Princess of Wales editing the mother’s day picture she shared on social media, she has decided to adopt this new method to keep the controversies in check. It may shock you.

Kate Middleton Didn’t Edit Son Prince Louis’ Birthday Picture Despite Continuing With Family Tradition

Every year since the birth of their children, the Prince and Princess of Wales have honored their children’s birthday by sharing a beautiful picture to mark the special day.

This year, there were speculations the Waleses may choose to forego this time-honored tradition due to the backlash of the “manipulated” mother’s day picture.

But they’ve chosen to keep it up. With one slight change. Louis’ smiling 6th birthday photo came unedited. Talk about a curve ball.

Next week Princess Charlotte will celebrate her 9th birthday, and it’s likely the public will get unedited photos of the Princess as well.

Speaking to Fabulous and The Sun, royal commentator Ingrid Seward said, “When the Princess of Wales was attacked for editing her Mother’s Day family photograph, it hurt her deeply.”

She continued: “She had been taking photographs of her children since their birth. After several photo agencies decided to drop her photoshopped Mother’s Day photograph, her hurt was such that together she and William decided if they were going to let the world see pictures of their children it would be on their terms.”

To retain control and reduce the vitriol, Seward opined that they now opt to release it through their offices. “Now when they release a photograph it will be through their Kensington Palace offices, that way they have control. It is a small but necessary step forward towards protecting their family in the increasingly hostile world of social media and beyond.”

Well, the couple is basking in the support of their fans, so maybe the haters may learn to go away someday.
