--- Quote ---Princess of Wales: Kate image withdrawn by three news agencies amid 'manipulation' concerns

Three photo agencies have retracted a picture of the Princess of Wales over concerns it has been "manipulated".

The image, taken by Prince William and issued by Kensington Palace for Mother's Day, showed Catherine with their three children.

But, Associated Press was the first to pull the image as it "did not meet" the agency's photo standards noting an "inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand".

Kensington Palace are yet to comment.
