The original photo was taken by Prince William of his wife, Kate, and their three children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, however insiders spilled to the news outlet that agencies were later convinced the picture shared online was tweaked from its initial capture.

Suspicious social media users were quick to dissect the image and point out all the discrepancies within the seemingly altered photograph, such as Charlotte's arm appearing missing, Kate not wearing her wedding ring and the mom-of-three's arms looking elongated as they wrapped around her daughter and youngest son.

"That looks like an AI photo ... not one for the theories either but come on, that’s not a real photo," one critic commented, as another snubbed: "With all that money they could do a better photoshop."

"Are the leaves and green grass this time of year in England?" a third user asked, as they seemed to think the picture wasn't actually taken on the winter day, while a fourth person pointed out, "I mean ... This could had been taken a while ago lmao they're just trying to do damage control."

A fifth troll insisted: "This is not a recent pic. She is still missing."
