Shweta Singh on the Princess of Wales' photoshopped photo

Professor Shweta Singh: "This photo is a prime example of why 2024 is a crucial year for spotting - and stopping - manipulated media. Whilst this may have been some low level photoshopping, much of the edited media currently circulating can be more sinister. With elections in both the UK and the US this year, the importance of media being genuine has never been higher. Suspect photoshopping like this only undermines the faith of the public in the media they are presented with, and risks seriously damaging public trust".
