Today hosts re-create 'doctored' Princess Kate image

The world was abuzz this morning after learning several international media agencies issued a "kill notice" for an image of the Princess of Wales, following claims it had been doctored.

Associated Press (AP) initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace.

But AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appeared the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP's photo standards.

The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand.

Thankfully the Today hosts were on hand to show the original image ... See it in the video player above.
