While nothing beats the intensity of Kate Middleton's Mother's Day Photoshop Scandal™, please be advised that this is far from the royal family's first editing fail. The royals have been using questionable image-editing programs for years in their official portraits, and the time has come for a quick trip down memory lane—starting with their 2023 Christmas photo (you know, the one that was giving Royal JC Penny Portrait Studio).
