Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are thought to be concerned for the Princess of Wales

Prince Harry is believed to be "concerned" for Princess Kate after she faced criticism for her Photoshop blunder.

The Princess of Wales was forced to apologise after an image of her with her children was slammed for being heavily edited, with fans pointing out a number of "errors" on social media. Kate admitted to being the one behind the editing.

Sources close to Harry and Meghan Markle have said the couple would have been "annihilated" if they had found themselves embroiled in a similar fiasco. Royal expert Christopher Anderson also claimed Harry is worried about his sister-in-law.

"There was once a very close friendship between Harry and Kate. I'm sure he's concerned about her but I know that she wants nothing to do with him. She's got her own problems now and she feels betrayed," he told Us Weekly.

Harry became estranged from his sister-in-law after leaving the Royal Family. He issued a number of attacks on Kate and Prince William in his debut memoir Spare, with Harry slamming Kate for "stereotyping" his wife.

Those close to the Sussexes have also commented on Kate's Photoshop drama and said the couple would have been "annihilated" if it was them. They also said it's not a mistake Meghan would make.

Speaking to Page Six, the source said: "If Harry and Meghan had ever encountered the same issue they would have been annihilated. The same rules do not apply to both couples. This isn't a mistake that Meghan would ever make … she has a keen eye and freakish attention to detail."

After causing a furore with her Mother's Day picture, Princess Kate issued a statement on 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."
