London, England – The photographer responsible for the recent car photo featuring Kate Middleton debunked conspiracy theories surrounding its authenticity, putting the rumors to rest.
Amidst speculation online about the legitimacy of the image showing Prince William and the Princess of Wales in a Range Rover leaving Windsor Castle on March 11, photographer Jim Bennett shed light on how he captured the now controversial moment.
Discussing the challenges of taking car shots, Bennett mentioned the unpredictability of the process and the difficulties posed by reflections on the glass. He explained that he was initially expecting to photograph Prince William on his way to London for a service on Commonwealth Day.
After taking a few shots of the passing car, Bennett noticed a surprise on the back of his camera – there was someone seated next to Prince William, later revealed to be Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
Sharing further details on the incident, Bennett clarified that it was only during the review of his photos that he realized Kate Middleton was present in the car as well. This revelation came after he checked to ensure he had captured Prince William in a frame.
