Portrait of Queen Mary and King Frederik sparks wild royal conspiracy theory

Royal watchers have accused Queen Mary and King Frederick of Denmark of photoshopping their first official royal portrait, weeks after their British counterparts were criticized for releasing a ‘fake’ Mother’s Day photo.

The official photo of the royal couple was released on Friday, showing the Australian-born queen standing next to the king.

Queen Mary wore a deep green velvet and lace dress along with the crown’s “most complete” heirloom jewelry set with matching emeralds.

Many praised the “beauty” of the photo, but also wondered whether it had been manipulated. Some claimed that the couple had ‘obviously’ taken their separate portraits and photoshopped them together.

“Beautiful photo, but another digitally enhanced royal photo,” a woman commented on the photo, receiving several likes.

‘Is this photoshopped? I mean, it looks like they were photographed separately and then put together? Maria looks beautiful and Frederik, well, the king looks like he just rolled out of bed,” one woman wrote.

‘Terrible translation. So stiff and clumsy. AI,” another wondered.

Others pointed out the placement of Queen Mary’s hand in front of King Frederick’s, claiming it seemed out of place.

“It looks like Queen Mary was included in Fred’s photo. The hand position is identical,” said one fan.

The palace has confirmed that the photo is genuine, saying that ‘the official gala portrait of the Royal Household has not been manipulated’.

Many argued that any form of photoshopping would make sense given the recent affair rumors that swirled after the then-prince was spotted hanging out with friend and socialite Genoveva Casanova in Spain last year.

‘She has so much tension! and whether they are in the room together, it’s like a montage,” said another.

‘Why did he cheat? I’m so mad at him,” said another.

‘Oh, she looks beautiful, but so tense! Something isn’t right,” another surmised.

Queen Mary of Denmark first wore the Danish Palace’s emerald green set in her royal debut as queen consort. The set is worn only by the Queen

Others continued to talk about the couple’s alleged indifference, without commenting on whether the photo could have been fabricated.

“That’s one cold looking Mary. I don’t think she’ll mind being so close to Freddy!’

The palace told the Daily Mail that they do not comment on rumors when asked about the alleged affair.

It is not the first time that royal observers have questioned a photo of the Danish palace.

On January 8, they took a photo of Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine for their 13th anniversary.

But the family’s fans claimed the children were posing exactly as they did in a group photo that appeared to have been taken on the same day.

This led to people wondering if the twins were edited together for the birthday tribute.

This photo released for the twins’ 13th birthday shows Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine standing together – but people don’t think it’s legit

That’s because the twins’ poses are very similar to those in this photo – leading fans to speculate that they were edited to stand together

People have become less familiar with royal photos following the disastrous Mother’s Day photo release of Kate Middleton and her children on behalf of Kensington Palace.

Sixteen ‘errors’ were found in the portrait, which became the first official portrait of the royal family to be recalled by photo agencies.

In the previous two official portraits, Mary stood behind or opposite Frederick. The progression means that Mary will gain prominence as she takes on more duties as Queen Consort

Royal aides claimed the image of the Princess of Wales and the children was taken by Prince William.

Princess Charlotte’s hand against Kate’s zipper, Prince Louis’ sweater and Prince George’s arm were all noticeably ‘wrong’ in the photo.

Other issues involve Charlotte’s skirt and knee, Louis’ sweater and hand, Kate’s hair and George’s sleeve – as well as the border and step in the background.
