This is not the first time the Sussexes have faced speculation over image editing. Earlier this year, Meghan was accused by some online commentators of altering a photograph shared to mark her seventh wedding anniversary with Harry. As with that instance, no confirmation has been given that any editing took place, and the vast majority of viewers appeared unconcerned.
For most fans, the focus remains on the sentiment behind the holiday message rather than a barely noticeable detail. Still, the discussion highlights just how closely every public image of the Sussexes continues to be examined, even during moments intended to be festive and lighthearted.
