The Princess of Wales has apologised "for any confusion" her Mother’s Day photograph caused, after five picture agencies retracted the image over editing concerns.
Catherine, in a statement posted on Kensington Palace social media, said: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing."

News agencies PA, Getty Images, AFP, Reuters and Associated Press had removed the image.
