Why does Kate get slaughtered over photoshopped pictures and MT doesn't?

True, but the BRF is much more known and more important than that small Lux GDC is. Plus the Lux papers are all very soft and non critical of their GDC.
And as I know the majority of people in Luxembourg are not much interested in the royal family.

There is a difference between an edited and a manipulated photo.

Edited means eg cropping a picture, brightening. A broader definition of editing includes also use of filters and airbrushing eg to remove wrinkles, smoothen the skin or removing an unwanted spot or something like that.

Manipulated means that eg a picture was composed from different pictures or something/someone had been inserted into or removed from a photo.

According to experts Kate did compose the Mother's Day photo of different photos, probably of the same setting to have the best pose and smile of everyone. But as the original had not been provided to the news agencies they could not even be sure of that. She probably did this also to some of previous photos like the one of QEII with her great-grandchildren.

So Kate's photos are not only edited but also manpiulated. Serious news agencies like AP and Reuters accept only lightly edited photos so her photo as was "killed" as it was manipulated. Other photo agencies accept more editing.

Personally I dislike heavily edited pictures as much as manipulated photos.

because news agencies worry about our mental health if we see Mother terrible's photos unedited and unmanipulated 

they don't wanna be sued,.

8 grands & at such different ages, they will have great-grandbabies before you know it with the two oldest turning into such handsome young men. They are indeed blessed, and I get the feeling that at least in this case they know it and appreciate it.

That's not blocking the viewer from seeing the baby that is holding a very new baby in the position that is most comfortable for her. I don't see anything sinister in it. Both Alexandra and Gabriel (?) are holding her in. This is more about their or her comfort.

They are a family that is trying very hard to keep close. I feel that they are a bit under the duress of MT but all seem to have good marriages and cute children. I hope they are surviving the unhealthy choices of their parents. Gabriel's crossed arms in the pic with his grandmother is a little (a lot) telling.

It is just a photo of a family that is meeting once a year at their holiday home in Southern France.
Amazing that they still manage to assemble that large family for a holiday. The five children are living in different places.

Guillaume and Stephanie, as thei heirs, in Luxembourg

Felix and family are living in Geneva, Switzerland, and part of the time in Germany

Louis is living and working in Paris, Gabriel and Noah are in boarding school in England (and whenever I see them spending time with their father's family, I am so glad)

Alexandra and Nicholas are also living in Paris. They seem to avoid any public attention, not even a picture of their baby on the official Insta of MT!

Sebastian is in Italy working on a forrest program, if that is still the case.

Gabriel is always awkward in pictures, no matter with whom he is. Most terrible are those pics with his excessive attention seeking mother. I feel sorry for him, but he is the shy one, easy to be manipulated . Noah is different and I hope he'll stay like that.

Just from experience. If there is a large family you cannot expect them all being close. It is just not realistic. People have different characters, are living different lives.
My husband has a large family and whenever I look at the family pictures where the whole clan is present for a special occasion, it is nice to look at, but I know who has what problems with brother, or the MIL or the wifes of the brothers.

Why should that be different in royal or noble families? They are just as us, only richer and more privileged.
