You probably saw — on Sunday, she had a huge Photoshop fail with the picture she shared of her and her kids for Mother’s Day in the UK. Experts found that it had at least 16 editing mistakes, and various photo agencies pulled it amid concerns over its authenticity.

Ultimately, Kate apologized for the blunder, but it only intensified the speculation about her and her health and fueled further conspiracy theories.

On Monday, she was seen riding in a car with Prince William, but fans speculated that the photo was also manipulated. As E! News notes, some noticed alleged inconsistencies with the bricks in the background. Some also pointed out that her hair looked oddly similar to a style she wore out in 2016 at an event marking the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.

“We don’t change our photos in Photoshop other than adjusting the light levels if necessary,” photographer Jim Bennett added to People. “Car shots are unpredictable at the best of times, and with some reflection on the glass, it can be difficult.”
Mhm, okay! Kate, come to the front, please!
