The Princess of Wales’ Mother’s Day photo has suffered an awkward editing fail.
The picture, showing Kate Middleton, 42, alongside her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
But eagled-eyed fans spotted that the sleeve of Princess Charlotte’s arm didn’t line-up.
It comes after the royals’ Christmas card also suffered a photoshop fail after Prince Louis was left without a middle finger.
The monochrome image shows the royal couple smiling alongside their sons Prince George, ten, Prince Louis, five, and Princess Charlotte, eight, who is seated in a chair at the front of the group, with Louis’ hand resting on the arm.

But in an apparent editing fail, Louis seems to be missing the middle finger on his left hand.
Kate has stepped back from royal duties since she was admitted to The London Clinic for ‘planned abdominal surgery’ on January 16.
Today, she shared a photo alongside her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, with fans commenting on how the royal looks like she is recovering well.
It may be a hint that Kate will return to action around Easter, and not as late as Trooping of the Colour in June.
Earlier this week, the Army backtracked on claims the Princess of Wales will attend June’s Trooping the Colour after accusations officials ‘jumped the gun’ without consulting the Palace.
Tickets had gone on sale via the army website advertising Kate, 42, reviewing a ‘practice’ parade for the first time on June 8 in her role as honorary colonel of the Irish Guards.

It also announced that Charles, 75, would be reviewing his own official birthday parade on June 15 at Horse Guards.
But within minutes of the tickets going on sale, there were warnings that the MoD may have ‘jumped the gun’.
Kensington Palace sources made clear that they were ‘not consulted’ on the MoD announcement and said that any confirmed attendance by the princess would be made ‘only’ by themselves.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that planning for future engagements was continuing despite the King’s ongoing cancer treatment yet stressed that changes could be made nearer the time depending on his health.
Kensington Palaces broken their silence on Kate Middleton conspiracy theories earlier in the week.
A palace spokesman said the Prince of Wales is focusing ‘on his work and not on social media’.
Although officials have refused to give any further updates on Kate Middleton’s health due to medical privacy, royal aids have insisted she is ‘doing well’.
The photo of the Princess of Wales has been branded ‘playful’ and shows her as ‘protective’ of her children, a body language expert has claimed.

Speaking exclusively to FEMAIL, Judi James said that Kate Middleton, 42, looked ‘authentic’ while her clothes showed a ‘relaxed happiness’.
The photos appear to show that the Princess is recovering well after undergoing surgery in January.
Kensington Palace released the first official photo of the Princess of Wales since her surgery as she thanked the public for their support in a Mother’s Day message on Sunday morning.
The royal is seen beaming with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a picture taken by her husband, Prince William, at their home in Windsor.
‘Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day,’ the Princess of Wales said, signing off the message with a ‘C’ for Catherine.
Speaking today, Judi said the picture shows how the royal is one the mend.
‘There are so many reassuring non-verbal messages of continuity, relaxed happiness and even increasingly-restored good health here, as well as some even more telling ones of shared emotion,’ Judi said.
‘The pose itself, the styling and the colours chosen, look deliberately traditional and even signature for the family.
‘This is the type of photograph the Wales’s have posed for before, with heather-mix blues, greens and purple Fairisle knits and checks seeming to announce very little has changed and order and continuity has thankfully been restored,’ she added.
Opting for £250 Chloe Combat boots, which she’s worn several times before, Kate looked natural in jeans, a black polo neck and bottle green jacket.
Meanwhile, both Prince George and Princess Charlotte wore jumpers from French brand Cyrillus official.
Charlotte wore and adorable red Cotton and Cashmere Cardigan with a checked skirt and cotton tights while George wore a Lambswool Jumper in Kaki and jeans.
William has been stepping up royal engagements in Kate’s absence. Pictured: Prince William and Princess Kate are seen at a ceremonial welcome for The President and the First Lady of the Republic of Korea at Horse Guards Parade on November 21 last year.

Kate went entirely without jewellery in the photo, in an unusual move for the royal, but Judi suggested that this could hint at her getting better.
‘Kate’s choice of casual clothing seems to hint at restored levels of health. Her lace-up boots, jeans and zip-up jacket all imply she’s off for a long Mother’s Day walk after the session.
‘Even the way she crosses her legs at the ankle suggests energy rather than a desire to sit still,’ she added.
Wearing her hair long and kekar4d login loose, Kate beamed as she sat with her three children at home in Windsor.
She opted for a natural make-up look with a creamy foundation and subtle lip gloss.
‘In terms of the body language it’s a relief for the fans (and the country) to see the joy and the sense of playful family fun are still firmly in place,’ Judi added.
‘Kate might be sitting but she’s the one with her protective arms around her two younger children and Kate’s smile is far more telling than her normal signature, pitch-perfect ‘”royal” smile.
‘This is an authentic, dimpled version with no signs of forcing or rigidity.
‘Her sparkling eye expression, which is aimed at her husband William behind the camera, suggests their usual levels of shared humour are still very much a thing.
