Let's turn to some major news out of Great Britain,
where the royal family has Photoshopped their way
into a brand new scandal.
Now to a royal photo scandal that has sparked
controversy, and conspiracies.
The controversy started innocently enough.
A family photo of the Princess of Wales
and the smiling children to mark
Mother's Day here in Britain.
But then came the kill order from several global
news agencies.
At closer inspection, it appears that the source
had manipulated the image.
There's like little misalignments, right.
A sleeve that didn't line up with Charlotte's wrist.
A skewered zipper on Kate's jacket.
And her blurred hand.
There's a print on the top corner
of Prince Louis' sweater there, where
the pattern doesn't line up.
Her hair abruptly ends on her right shoulder.
Princess Charlotte's hand isn't in the right spot.
Yeah, you know, you didn't need to do
all that forensic analysis.
You know how I know that's fake?
There's three kids smiling at the same time.
As a parent, I know that's impossible.
Also, it should be noted, I didn't even know or care
about Kate Middleton's leave of absence,
but then you release a photo so edited,
they have to issue a kill order?
Well, now I'm all in, all right.
And the palace better have a good explanation for this.
Kensington Palace posting this explanation.
"Like many amateur photographers,
I do occasionally experiment with editing.
I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion."
I'm calling bullshit that Kate was the one
who edited the picture.
This is the royal family.
They don't do anything themselves.
They don't even pick their own noses.
They have butlers for that.
You think she's doing her own Photoshopping?
The only thing they know how to do without help is adultery.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, this is only going
to fuel baseless speculation about why Kate Middleton
was hardly seen in months.
And we don't want to get into all these rumors,
like is she getting a BBL?
Is she divorcing William?
Is she "Gone Girling" him?
Oh, my god, do you think she's "Gone Girling" him?
She could be.
My TikTok was saying so, so.
TikTok is always right.
I think so, yeah.
Look, we can't just sit here and talk about Kate Middleton
all night.
You're absolutely right, yeah.
For more on Kate Middleton, let's go
live to The Daily Show's senior royal
watcher, Grace Kuhlenschmidt.
[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
Grace, what's going on in Buckingham Palace?
Well, Desi and Desi's friend, the palace is in chaos.
They're eating beans on toast for breakfast.
They're driving on the wrong side of the road.
There's flying nannies everywhere.
It's a mess.
OK, well, I think all of that stuff is normal there.
But has the royal family explained why they released
a Photoshopped picture?
Yes.
The royals are taking full responsibility for this breach
of trust, by completely blaming the whole thing
on Princess Kate.
Mistakes were made all around, by her and her very
real graphic design hobby.
But the good news is, she's doing fine.
And the palace just released a new photo
that was taken this morning.
See?
Everything is normal.
She looks great.
Grace, this is obviously manipulated.
She's in front of the Twin Towers.
Hmm, yes, but you have to remember,
9/11 didn't happen in England.
Oh, wait, you're right.
I'm getting breaking news.
The royals have admitted this photo has been edited.
They're saying, quote, "On behalf of the entire royal
family, this is Kate's fault."
Wow!
That was really insensitive of her, guys.
Grace, why can't they just release
an unedited photo of the family,
so we know everything is fine?
You must be some sort of fortune teller, sir,
because I'm now hearing they have a new photo
of the family together.
Yeah, now that, that is one happy family.
Grace, Grace, what are you talking about?
Queen Elizabeth is dead.
How is she even in that photo?
Yeah, yeah, and the kids all have Al Pacino's face on them.
Hmm.
And just to confirm, we are sure none of her kids
are Al Pacino? - We're sure.
Yes, we're sure.
OK, that confirms it, it's a fake.
Oh, and OK, hmm, the royals just
released a statement, a statement saying,
Kate made that one up, too.
And they attached a list of things that are also Kate's
fault. OK, colonization, the whole Prince Andrew
thing, COVID.
And you know when you try to put a USB in,
but you realize it's the wrong way,
so you got to turn it around, but then somehow
it's still the wrong way.
That's also Kate.
Can the royal family not just be honest with
what's happening instead of trying to blame
Kate for every PR [BLEEP]-up?
Well, the good news is, they don't
have to, because they just found
the real photo of Kate that should put
all these questions to rest.
Yeah.
See?
She's fine.
Would a woman being silenced by a repressive dynasty
be able to dunk like that?
Two points for the Princess.
Yeah, something still seems off.
You know, that's what I thought, too,
but on the other hand, she says she's doing great, so.
Well, that is true.
Thank you, Grace.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt, everyone.
