Misan Harriman, the snapper behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s oh-so-lovely pregnancy announcement snap, found himself in the crosshairs of Photoshop conspiracy theorists.
In a dramatic video posted on social media, he took on allegations that he’d digitally spruced up the royal bump reveal. Apparently, there were whispers that he’d swapped out trees, prairies, and who knows, maybe even a unicorn or two, in the backdrop.
According to the Daily Mail, Harriman had supposedly confessed to this act of visual chicanery in an episode of a podcast ominously named ‘Private Passions.’ But hold your horses, because this tale takes a twist as wild as a royal scandal itself.
Harriman, with a tone that oscillates between disbelief and amusement, clarified that the whole shebang was as bonkers as a corgi riding a skateboard. He pointed fingers at the interviewer, Michael Berkeley, for leading him down a path of Photoshop infamy. Apparently, he was just trying to chat about how he shot the Sussexes using some high-tech wizardry during the lockdown.
In a move that can only be described as a mic drop of truth bombs, Harriman played a snippet from the interview where Berkeley throws a curveball about willow trees and meadows. But Harriman, with the swiftness of a palace guard, shuts it down faster than you can say “crown jewels.” He vehemently denied any such shenanigans, asserting that the only edit he made was turning the photo into black and white.
With a twinkle in his eye and perhaps a royal eyebrow raised, Harriman blasted the Daily Mail for cooking up a story juicier than a Buckingham Palace pudding. He made it crystal clear that any talk of meadows and willow trees was conjured up by the interviewer’s imagination, not his.
Harriman stood firm against the tsunami of Photoshop allegations, labeling them as “insidious” and “tragic.” As the dust settles on this digital battlefield, one thing remains certain: the only thing getting Photoshopped here is the truth itself.
