Prince George has suddenly found himself in the spotlight for his image manipulation on Amazon’s trading platform. In the photo posted, he was holding a weapon in his hand. Dad William and mom Kate didn’t like it at all. On the website of the Internet giant Amazon, the Chinese company Zhou-long advertised toy weapons and associated Prince George with an item that he never publicly displayed. This is a fake that caused a stir.
A Chinese company used a photo of George in 2016. Then Kensington Palace published a picture on the occasion of the third birthday. On it, the little prince was depicted in the garden of his parents’ country house. Now he was in the same position, only with a golden saber in his right hand. Apparently the weapon was planted on him using an image-editing program. On Amazon, the toy was offered at a price of about 23 euros.
According to the British newspaper The Sun, the fraud became known from one of the readers.
“I almost dropped my cup of tea, the man told the newspaper. - I don’t think this toy has royal clearance.”
Then the seller reacted and the photo was removed.
“Any seller who does not comply with the rules of the sale can expect us to stop cooperation”, Amazon comments in a British tabloid article.
For members of the royal family, power over their own images by the weight of gold. Prince William and Princess Kate, for example, are very clear about what photos can and cannot be published. Especially their three children - George, Charlotte and Louis.
The last official photo of Kensington Palace was posted on December 13th. It depicts a family of five on a gravel path, surrounded by summer greenery. Prince George, who is now nine years old, is almost on the shoulder of his father William.
