PEOPLE's royals expert delves into rumors surrounding the Princess of Wales' recent video appearance and the controversy over her doctored photo . Simon Perry is a writer and correspondent at PEOPLE. He has more than 25 years’ experience at PEOPLE covering the royals, human interest and celebrity. As PEOPLE’s Chief Foreign Correspondent, I have covered the royal family for more than two decades.
Throughout this time, I have witnessed numerous moments of joy, such as weddings and the births of children. But, today, the royal narrative feels unprecedented. I cannot recall a time when a series of unrelated events have simultaneously troubled more than one member of the royal family, culminating in such an unsettling period. The controversy surrounding Princess Diana's doctored photo, originally taken by her husband William to commemorate Mother’s Day in the U.K., has unexpectedly placed the previously unassailable couple at the center of a debate regarding trust in both them and the broader royal institution, which issued the photo. And it has provided social media warriors with a license to speculate on a wide range of rumors. The recent sighting of Prince William and Kate Middleton at the Windsor Farm Shop over the weekend serves as a prime example. No, it wasn't fabricated or featuring a body double (the photo would surely have been better if that were the case!). And yes, it was indeed Kate. Did their handlers mind that they’d been spotted looking happy as they ran their errands? I suspect not
