Photoshop fails are hardly a new thing – but rarely, if ever, do they involve members of the British Royal Family.

Today on The Front Page, New Zealand Herald deputy lifestyle editor Emma Gleason digs into the mystery behind the photo, and AI expert Dr Paul Duignan joins later to discusst how worried we should be about this.
