The Princess of Wales was on Tuesday said to be “saddened” over the doctored photo which engulfed the royal family in fresh controversy.

Palace insiders insisted the “entirely innocent” mistake was an attempt to make the family portrait the best it could be and said she now hopes the row will die down after she apologised.
