        I can’t imagine the sad things that needed to happen in your life to make you defend the British Royal Family on Lemmy in 2024. If you need to be a boot licker than at least suck Elon Musk off instead, still embarrassing but at least you’d have evolved past the 16th Century.

        Princess Kate publicly took responsibility for the manipulated family photograph released by Kensington Palace. She acknowledged experimenting with editing and apologized for any confusion caused by the image, emphasizing that she hoped everyone celebrating had a happy Mother’s Day.
