The Associated Press said it has noted "an inconsistency in the alignment" of Princess Charlotte’s hand.

Apparently it has something to do with her left hand alignment and that she’s not wearing any rings. But the odd thing was how Louis is crossing his fingers, middle on top of ring finger. You’d normally cross index on middle or middle on index.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The image was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s social media accounts with a message from Catherine which said: "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.

    But, late on Sunday, the Associated Press, one of many international agencies that distributed the photo, issued a “kill notification” - an industry term used to make a retraction.

    PA Media, the UK’s biggest news agency - through which the Royal Family regularly releases its official information, including to the BBC - said it had not killed the picture on its service.

    Most news organisations follow their own strict guidelines on the use of manipulated photographs, only using them when accompanied by an explanation that the image has been changed from the original.

    It was thought on Sunday morning the photo would quell some of the more extreme theories around the princess’s absence from the public stage.

    But within hours social media was abuzz with zoomed-in images of Princess Charlotte’s left cuff and Prince Louis’ fingers.
