Meanwhile, Prince Harry took their daughter to an Independence Day parade in Montecito, California, coinciding with the U.S. celebration of independence from British rule.
Interestingly, during this time, Harry's father, King Charles III, attended a significant coronation ceremony in Edinburgh.
Harry's decision to attend the California celebration and not be present at the second coronation seemed to highlight his distancing from the royal family.
As he enjoyed the parade with two-year-old Lily, his father's momentous occasion took place in his beloved Scotland, where Prince William and Catherine also joined King Charles and Queen Camilla in an esteemed event at St. Charles's Cathedral.
Catherine looked stunning in blue attire, but it appeared that their public appearances were not generating enough attention. Megan seemingly aimed to create enough buzz to compete with the Scottish visit they were not invited to.
Although Megan may have thought that the photos would capture widespread attention, the images of Harry with Lily did not generate significant interest. Some people even questioned the authenticity of the photos, suggesting that Harry and Megan had utilized Photoshop.
Critics claimed that the children in the pictures did not resemble Lily and Archie at all. For instance, one observer pointed out the similarity between Lily's dress and red shoes to those worn by Princess Charlotte, insinuating potential digital alterations.
To support these claims, some individuals on YouTube referred to an online tool used to detect photoshopped images. According to their analysis, areas with alterations would be highlighted in the program, indicating potential modifications.
When the pictures of Lily and Harry were subjected to this analysis, the flag area with the name appeared to be added in post-production or Photoshop. They further noted inconsistencies, such as Harry wearing a green shirt while the person carrying the little girl originally wore a brown shirt. It seemed that someone had added Harry's arm but failed to adjust the color of the shirt accordingly.
The online tool also revealed discrepancies in the positioning of people in the background, suggesting possible manipulations.
Critics also observed that Lily appeared smaller and blonder compared to previous images, raising suspicions about the authenticity of the stage-set photos.
They pointed out that the people in the images were all looking at the camera, indicating that they were aware the pictures were being taken. However, Harry, who supposedly hired them, pretended not to notice. Some viewers found the entire situation perplexing, questioning the authenticity of the parade and even suggesting that the people present were poorly paid actors.
Overall, the use of Photoshop and the authenticity of the images have come under scrutiny, leading to discussions and speculation about the true nature of the photographs.
