Meghan Markle will likely be "sympathetic" towards the Princess of Wales as she's found herself caught up in a Photoshop scandal, a royal expert claims

Princess Kate hadn't been seen in public since before Christmas, having undergone abdominal surgery in January, when she released a picture of herself and her three children for Mother's Day. Fans quickly jumped on the image and took to social media to share their conspiracy theories after spotting several "errors".

Kate was forced to apologise for the picture and admitted to editing the snap. Royal expert Christopher Andersen believes Meghan and Prince Harry will have been paying attention to the photogate chaos.

"Meghan, in particular, must be incredibly conflicted about all the incoming heat Kate and the royals are taking, not to mention the way the palace continues to bungle things on a daily basis," Christopher told Fox News Digital. He suggested Meghan will be "sympathetic" about all of the stress Kate is going through.

However, the royal author added: "On the other hand, the palace media machine has never been more exposed for what it is: a complete mess." He also described the situation as "a total disaster."

Christopher said: "Meghan and Harry know what it's like to wake up and see those screaming tabloid headlines targeting them for one thing or another." Christopher's comments come as Meghan and Harry issued a statement on Kate's photo scandal.

Page Six claimed sources close to the couple said: "This isn’t a mistake Meghan would ever make." They added: "If Harry and Meghan had ever encountered the same issue they would have been annihilated. The same rules do not apply to both couples."

However, a spokesperson for Meghan and Harry revealed they did not authorise the comments. Speaking to Newsweek, a spokesperson said: "With respect to Page Six, that did not come from us."

The outlet has also noted the Page Six quotes might have come from "someone connected to the Sussexes, expressing a personal opinion, who was not officially authorised to speak on their behalf". Kate also released her own statement about the drama.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, she said: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C."
