'Accused of Deliberately Choosing Photos Without Princess Makle' Criticism Raised
Kensington Palace Explains "Just a Nice Photo"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo Yujin] British Prince William, the Prince of Wales, sparked controversy by posting a photo celebrating his brother Prince Harry's birthday that notably excluded Harry's wife, Princess Meghan Markle.

On the 16th (local time), according to The Times and other outlets, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, posted on their official Twitter account a photo celebrating Prince Harry's birthday featuring the couple together with Prince Harry.

The photo, taken several years ago during a campaign event, showed Prince Harry running alongside Prince William and Catherine at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Fans of Prince Harry criticized Prince William and Catherine for deliberately choosing a photo that excluded Princess Meghan Markle and their son Archie. Some even interpreted the empty space between Prince William and Prince Harry in the photo as symbolizing Princess Markle's absence.

In response, Kensington Palace posted a statement saying, "People are reading too much into this (photo). It's just a nice photo," dismissing the controversy.
