The photograph of a smiling princess of wales with her three children, which is now at the centre of a royal controversy. It was released to mark mothers day. But some suggest the image has inconsistencies, in particular the alignment in charlottes wrist. In a rare move last night, four major Picture Agencies withdrew the photograph. The Associated Press issued what is knowns a kill notification, it said at closer inspection it appears the source has altered the image. Today, pa media, the uks biggest news agency has also withdrawn the photograph. In the last few hours the princess of wales has responded on social media. She said it is actual lay good photograph in terms of emotion, trying to get three children to smile is difficult. And it is a great photograph from that point of view. Visually.

Hospital for abdominal surgery. Princess catherines surgery, there has been speculation about her health. This photograph was meant to be an informalfamily health. This photograph was meant to be an informal Family Picture and intended to reassure the public, but it appears to have backfired. The princess of wales explanation about the photograph, will it be enough to calm the speculation . So, what made the News Agencies suspicious about the picture in the first place and what were the clues it had been edited in some way . Nick eardly at bbc verify has been investigating. There is always that frenzied speculation about the royals online and there have been a lot of unsubstantiated speculation about the princess of wales health. So this image yesterday was the first time we have seen her officially this year, after that surgery in january. But, a number of people noticed discrepancies in the photograph that are actually obvious. Look at this, princess charlottes sleeve. You can see this bit and this bit doesnt match up. The same is true here, you can see this is the princess of wales zip. It doesnt line up between here and here. And then here is a third example, this hand is a bit blurry. There are other examples too, which are a bit less obvious. But after theseissues are a bit less obvious. But after these issues were widely discussed online, a number of Picture Agencies removed the image. That is not normal and led to that Statement Today from the princess of wales apologising for the confusion caused, saying she experimented with editing. We have spoken to a number of photography experts, a lot before that statement about the issues with this picture. All of them have said it is consistent with amateur editing. Perhaps on an application like photo shop. They say there is no sign of ai being used. So that matches with the explanation from kensington palace. The hope is admitting there were edits will end the debate over this picture. But one final thing that is important, so far we dont have the initial original picture from kensington palace. They have said theyre not going to publish it. So we cant be certain about what changes have been made in the image that we have seen. Thank you. Our correspondent Charlotte Gallagher is at Westminster Abbey this afternoon, where Prince William will be appearing today for a commonwealth event. Charlotte, how embarrassing is all this for the royal family . Id say at best this is embarrassing. The photograph Sparked Thousands Ofjokes and internet memes. Lots of people talking about that. At worst this is a question of trust. And do the public trust what the royal family tell them and show them . If people dont, that is a huge problem for the royals. This has fed into Conspiracy Theories about the health of princess of wales. When the royals released the photograph, they were hoping to reassure about the health of the princess of wales and the situation and what was going on. In fact, its done the opposite. This has been dises a frous for the royal family disastrous for the royal family and questions have been asked about why they allowed this photograph to be relessed when leased when some of edits were obvious.

Catfishing is when Online Scammers use a fake identity to trick their victims. Alexander mccartney, from newry in Northern Ireland, has admitted more than 180 charges, including the manslaughter of a 12 Year Old Girl who took her own life after being blackmailed by him.

Well, following todays admission to manslaughter, Alexander Mccartney has admitted 185 charges involving more than 60 victims. Those victims are spread across the uk and around the world, as far away as new zealand and america. This came to light back in 2018 when police in scotland contacted the Police Service in Northern Ireland about the case of a young girl who had been befriended by Alexander Mccartney on social media. She had sent him a naked picture and he told her if she didnt do what he asked her if she didnt do what he asked he would upload the picture on lin. That led to a search of his home and devices being seized. On those devices being seized. On those devices were thousands of pictures of young girl bes. Some clothed, some naked. It was then that the sheer scale of his offending came to light. He will be sentenced in may and we heard from the judge today who said that it would be a complex sentencing exercise. A bbc investigation has found people have been tricked into buying mobile homes and caravans on Holiday Parks after being wrongly promised they could live on the sites full time. Buyers told the Panorama Programme theyve been cheated out of their life savings. Our reporter rory carson has more details. Come on into the show home thank you. Wyre country park in lancashire. This is how the mobile home swindle works. These are here for the next 50 years. So, its been handed down to family, friends, relatives whatever it happened to be. These are holiday homes. No ones allowed to live in them full time. But thats not what the Sales Manager tells panoramas undercover reporter. Im looking for somewhere permanent, somewhere i can stay in and live in all year round. They all do. Yeah, they all live here. Wyre council has only given the site a holiday licence. Even when the undercover reporter raises that, the Sales Manager says its fine. We are open 12 months of the year. Nobody has to leave. But they will not grant us full residential licence. They grant us 12 months. Do they know that people live here . Yes. The council says living permanently on this Holiday Park Contravenes Planning Permission and the site licence. The time now is 20 past 6. 20 past six on a sunday morning. But some residents are trapped. Mike and his wife paid £180,000 for their home in 2019. Me and my wife moved here. We decided we wanted to retire somewhere nice, somewhere pleasant, somewhere a bit more rural. They say the park owner, david walsh, falsely promised they could live at wyre full time. Mikes now working as a Delivery Driver to raise cash to take legal action. Its heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking. And thats why ive got to thats why im doing what im doing, and thats why i want to raise money, and thats why i want to fight these people, because theyve got to be stopped. David walsh denies misleading buyers. He says the signs and Sales Agreements make it clear that wyre is a holiday park. The Sales Manager didnt respond. If there are any questions or anything, just give me a ring. Its notjust happening here. There are other Holiday Parks where people have been falsely told they can live full time. I think this is a really big issue because there are so many people that have fallen down this trap. Im not saying ive heard from one or two people that have lost their life savings. Ive heard from countless people that have lost their life savings. Theyve all bought properties they can never call home. Rory carson, bbc news.
